There really is no other woman in music that can compete with Mariah Carey’s run

[jerzboy]

Janet Jackson, but I get what you mean

Janet is my goat… but huge respect to Mariah… when it comes to ‘hits’ she got it, but Janet always switched up and took chances

 

[jadillac]

It's plenty that can compete lmao.

No there's really not. Whitney from a success standpoint, but Mariah wrote her songs.

 

[maxamusa]

one sweet day is lowkey one of my favorite songs of all time.

so is fantasy.


I'll allow it

Her pivot to black folks and specifically Jermain Dupri in the late 90's gave her a big lifeline. That america's sweetheart image she had early on ran it's course and she was finna be up out of there.

That was never her tho. She's a hip hop head from NYC. They made her a straight pop star

That's why the ODB collab outta nowhere worked so well.

My favorite Mariah Carey song

 

[I love Latina women]

With her Bad built ass

huge breasted wide ass legend

Rainbow wasn’t great

And Mary J blige and Janet both have discographies that go toe to toe

*clears throat*

is this mic on?

ma'am.

Rainbow has Bliss, Heartbreaker(remix and original), Crybaby, Petals, After Tonight, Can't Take That Away, Thank God I Found You and How Much.

that's 9 songs out of 14 tracks. so that leaves 5 tracks and 2 of those tracks were interludes so that leaves 3 songs. (X Girlfriend, Against All Odds cover and Did I Do That?)

i do wish Rainbow would've had the Thank God I Found You remix w/ Nas and Joe on it, instead of the original.

Mary and Janet did their thing, no doubt. but Mariah was on some PRINCE 80's shyt during her 90's run. 9 albums from 1990 to 1999.

Why do you think she was so successful?

Just hungrier?

Right place right time?

Savvy marketing?

GOD, her talent as a singer/songwriter, hard work/determination, a great team etc etc

the stars aligned perfectly for Mariah

They about to blow Netflix up on Christmas Day

1 chaka khan song >>>> mariah

 

[KidJSoul]

Naw naw naw, you're saying she's better than all of these women who've left a legacy music-wise, who's copying Mariah?

Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande took influence from her

1 chaka khan song >>>> mariah

Nah

 

[In The Zone '98]

It's really hard to explain how different the 90s were to somebody who wasn't there. Lol

 

[I love Latina women]

listening back to her Unplugged album right now

 

[LexDiamonds]

Everyone just gotta accept Mariah is one of them ones
