Christina Aguilera saying....

Well, the reason those type of comments bother me is that they show a lack of understanding for Mariah's gift for melody. Mariah's vocal runs usually accent the main melody; she is doing a melodic run that comes off the main melody. That is very different from someone like Christina who just does random vocal runs that serve no melodic or emotional purpose. Because Mariah's vocal style led to people like Christina, Jessica, and Beyonce doing vocal runs, Mariah takes heat for it. But most of the people Mariah influenced aren't doing vocal runs in the same manner that Mariah does.
Exactly. I think Kelly Rowland is actually closer to Mariah's style of adlibs than any of those singers
