JoJo using Mariah's style?

New singer JoJo released her self-titled album last week and made a great debut at #4 on Billboard Top 100. The 13 year old singer undoubtedly has soul in her voice. She manages to belt out her soulful vocals with a great pop beat in the background and make it a hit. Sound familiar? Most likely, Mariah Carey has come to mind.

Mariah, first made famous with her powerhouse voice and power ballads, later explored the world of R&B. Mariah has been successful with both genres and now has her own distinct style of music that mixes it up with ballads, R&B, and flares of pop. Her music is still as relevant in today's market as it was in 1990 when she was a new artist.

JoJo credits Mariah as an idol and used to sing songs by Mariah, Aretha and Whitney to make a few bucks at a local beauty shop. JoJo said to aspiring singers, "Sing for anyone who will listen."
