Maria is pretty and marketable. That's it... she's marketable.

I'd rather listen to Bic Runga and Beth Orton.

I used to think that Shania Twain was all looks an no voice. The other day I heard her singing and for a moment, I thought it was Karen Carpenter. Maybe she's changed her technique.

Oh... and if you like the older Maria Carey stuff, try the newer non-country Leann Rimes stuff... Added bonus is she's looking quite the skank. :)

I couldnt agree more on the ridiculous way Mariah Carey sings.  She seem determined to show off her vocal range with every note, not seeming to give a good whoopee that she ruins every song she does it on.

The tragedy is she does have a voice with a lot of potential if she would only learn to use it right and sing songs in a decent manner.  Can you imagine any fan trying to sing along with her music? Forgetaboutit.

As far as looks, she is okay but lately been getting kinda fat, maybe that happened when she was locked up in the looney bin babbling on about how her movie Glitter was the worst bomb in movie history?  :D

Her ego will preclude her from ever realizing her potential.

VH1 did a pop-up-video for one of their "Divas" concerts.  In it, the pop-ups that came up for Mariah Carey said "Mariah insisted on only being shot from this side angle to avoid looking plump on camera" (She has wide hips)  Then they showed the shot of her with a "her good side" and then "her not so good side" pop-ups.

Right after her, Sheniah Twain came on wearing a one piece leapard jump suit.  The camera came on from her side and said "Sheniah's good side", then moved behind her and the pop-up said "her other good side", then it moved in front of her and said "her other good side".

As for the singing, it seems to be something Witney Houston got going with that stupid song for "The Bodyguard".  Dammit that irritated the hell out of me.  2 years later and everyone is doing the warbling inflection crap in their songs.

As for the stones... the are just as bad today as they have always been.  I think the only reason they were ever popular is that virtually everyone can sing along to their music and sound better than Mic.

Easy to tell Mariah is built for packing on calories.  What a battle that must be, trying to remain sexy as she gets older and unvariably, fatter.

Still, her early stuff was real fine but then she went rap potato on us.  Too bad.

Anyone catch Shania on the CMA's? I personally don't listen to country, but I'll watch Shania or Faith ANYDAY!

I've discovered Blues in a big way last couple years. Love it. Whats funny is, you can listen to Robert Johnson and hear half of what came out in the next 50 years give or take a few changes. Muddy Waters Rules!  Johny Lee Hooker?

I feel the same way, it was meant to be sung one way not improvised.
