Re: Todd from Australia (73,702) (73,705) by Licia from USA We all have a crush on Todd. He's everyone's boo. Lol (Thursday 16 March 2017; 15:07)

Re: Poke & Tone (The Trackmasters) (73,695) (73,704) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh I would love if she works again with them. 20 years since Butterfly was released. Unbelievable. I think it still sounds so fresh and new. Could be released just nowadays. I love the lyrics so much on that album. Rnb at its best, and the ballads were also beautiful.

Re: Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,692) (73,703) by Licia from USA You're right it's all about preference. My point was that some of you are acting as if Celine brought nothing to the music industry and that her achievements and contributions are less. My point is she's just as great as Mariah is even though I prefer Mariah hands down. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 14:50)

Todd from Australia (73,702) by Jeff from USA Is it weird that I have a crush on Todd from Australia? You are beautiful, Todd. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 14:33)

Re: Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,691) (73,701) by B from USA Barbra and Celine both have throaty theatric voices (vocals). Celine and Barbra both lip. Everyone lips. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 14:33)

B from USA (73,700) by Jeff from USA I'm right there with you, B from USA. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 14:32)

Celine vs Mariah (73,699) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This Mariah vs. Celine should be null and void because both women are great in their own right. Both are apart of an era that can never be recaptured. But when I put both of their catalogs up against one another I would have to give the edge to Mariah and by a wide margin simply because Mariah's catalog has a variety of moods, emotions, and colors, whereas Celine's catalog is very bage and bland. Also while Celine is an amazing vocalist her voice does not move much as Mariah's voice does. I say all that to say Celine is cool in my book but there is only one Mariah.

Re: Most played MC song in iTunes (73,689) (73,698) by B from USA Three way tie: Breakdown, The Roof, and Side Effects. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 13:45)

Re: Most played MC song in iTunes (73,689) (73,697) by Martyn from England, UK Mine is Till The End Of Time followed by Everything Fades Away followed by The Art Of Letting Go. Unfortunately I've made the switch to Spotify now. I'll miss play counts. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 13:44)

Re: Most played MC song in iTunes (73,689) (73,696) by Musti from UK Mine is I Don't at the moment, which isn't a surprise since I listened to it 50+ times on the day it was released alone. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 13:43)

Re: Poke & Tone (The Trackmasters) (73,686) (73,695) by B from USA I would also love for Mariah to work with The Trackmasters again. I'd also add Dave Hall ans David Foster. I'm desperate to hear the song or songs she wrote with Diane Warren. Hard to believe Butterfly is about to turn 20 later this year. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 13:42)

Re: Most played MC song in iTunes (73,689) (73,694) by Licia from USA My most played is Faded and then the Beautiful Jeezy Remix. Don't be embarrassed. I listen to both of her Christmas albums year round along with the Temptations and Jackson 5 Christmas albums. I have no shame. Lol. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 13:39)

Re: Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,687) (73,693) by B from USA Mariah's catalogue trumps Whitney's and Celine's combined. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 13:36)

Re: Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,690) (73,692) by B from USA Celine, like Whitney was, is an interpreter of songs. However, Whitney was the better interpreter. In their primes Mariah was the better singer followed closely by Whitney. Mariah and Whitney had universal appeal, Celine is an acquired taste. I still own Falling Into You, her best album. Mariah was friends with Whitney and is friendly with Celine. It's all subjective and based on personal preference anyways. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 13:35)

Re: Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,687) (73,691) by Musti from UK I don't find either Barbra or Celine more talented than Mariah. I love both ladies but Mariah will forever be the (underappreciated) best. The thing with Barbra and Celine though is that they never made a noticeable change in their sound like Mariah did. Mariah progressively lost a chunk of her core album-buying audience after she went into R&B and hip hop. I'm not saying she did wrong. I personally prefer her post-97 catalogue to her earlier stuff when her voice was in its prime. But the audience is too untrained to care for that detail or the fact that her previous work was filled with R&B undertones. After the success of Funny Girl, Barbra started making more movies and OSTs in the 1970s and also went into pop briefly. This is the time she scored her 5 #1's. After that she went back to her core audience and started doing the classics again. At no point (as far as I know) was her image called into question. Same with Celine. With Mariah, it's not just the shift in her sound but also her image. I think the audience has more or less accepted Mariah as an R&B artist, most certainly since TEOM (although I still hear "I prefer the old Mariah" every now and then). But her image is destroying her, and I don't think it's the sexiness. It's the way she is going about expressing that sexiness. The uber-diva act too, of course. These are what Mariah needs to work on. Clearly recycling the same sound over and over again doesn't mean you will not be respected, although I would definitely like it if she were to try different sounds/concepts next time.

Re: Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,687) (73,690) by Licia from USA I enjoy both Mariah and Celine. Of course on any given day I'd choose Mariah's catalog over Celine, but I'll never diminish Celine's achievements or act like she's not one of the greats despite her not being the songwriter that Mariah is. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 13:04)

Most played MC song in iTunes (73,689) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Curious to know - what's your most played MC song in iTunes (if you use it)? Mine is "The Art of Letting Go", followed by "Everything Fades Away". AIWFCIY is also up there which is fairly embarrassing. I'm forever being all "oh, I thought I'd taken all my Christmas music off my phone" when it's on shuffle. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 12:59)

Celine Dion outsung by Beyonce (73,688) by Sheila from United States Beyonce is not even considered a great vocalist and when she sang the duet with Celine, Beyonce (with Destiny's Child) crushed her. Celine's voice is all smoke and mirrors, find a performance that is 100% live and prove her worth. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 11:38)

Re: Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,685) (73,687) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Mariah's got the waaaay better catalog for sure. The fact that she actually had a hand in the creative process makes it even more special. Celine's best albums (Falling Into You and Let's Talk About Love) don't even hold a candle to any of Mariah's albums before 1999 and TEOM. I'm not being bitter (I own the both of the Celine albums I mentioned above and enjoy most of the songs) but both sets are also the epitome of MOR, which at the time, bode really well for sales. They were very polarizing to critics, and Falling Into You definitely did not deserve to win the Grammy for Album of the Year. In fact, it's in every list of undeserving AOTY winners out there. You can't compare that to Mariah's strong self-titled debut, much less Daydream or Butterfly, which was around the era FIY and LTAL was released. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 11:34)

Poke & Tone (The Trackmasters) (73,686) by Billy from Greece If only MC would work with them again. I don't just adore the two tracks they've done with Mariah, but also all of the other productions they have done. They also produced a good chunk of Allure's first album back in the day, from Mariah's Crave label, remember? Such a timeless and mellow R&B vibe. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 11:18)

Celine Dion vs Mariah Carey (73,685) by Tameka walker from United states I justice wanted to say that I agree with the latest post. When they say that Mariah have a better catalog. They both are talented singers but in my opinion Mariah is more talented because she writes and produces. Mariah is a very prolific songwriter. I love Mariah's songs. Now her image has taken a beaten because of her management. However Mariah Carey will always be my number one artist. Her phenomenal music has gotten me some very difficult times in my life. I would love to be able to see her live. That is my ultimate goal in to see her live this summer. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 09:03)

Re: Celion Delion (73,680) (73,684) by Carlos Lopez from Australia In their peak, Mariah had the better voice, but Mariah's peak was from 1990 to 1996, she gave us 6 years of a voice out of this world [censored]. While Celine Dion has been consistently great, maybe now as many say she lip syncs certain high notes, but she her singing voice has only deteriorated by 10-15% [censored] which is fair enough, all she needs to do is change the keys, as she still has a beautiful lower tones. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 08:27)

Celine Dion writes no music (73,683) by Ty from USA "Because you love me", "Have you ever been in love" are the only original songs I feel her on. She barely speaks English so her emoting seems forced and faked to me. Mariah is a songwriter and her b-sides sound dark and emotive. Celine can't touch her. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 05:17)

Re: Yeah, Celine is a great singer but (73,681) (73,682) by Mara from United States Thank you Special K. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 04:18)

Yeah, Celine is a great singer but (73,681) by Special K from USA She just alright to me. Yeah, Celine got a great voice and has had much success but that chick has never released a song that has shook a sista the way Mariah has over and over again. I get that Celine is more respected than Mariah is in the present, however, whenever Mariah gets her head out of her ass and realizes her image is shot the hell up, she will finally surround herself with the right management team that can help her with her image and regain more respect from the general public, including some of her fans. And Mariah's catalog, my goodness that catalog. Celine's catalog ain't no where near on the same level as Mariah's in my opinion. Ok, it's now time to roll Celine's ass off of MCA.
