If you are reading this blog you know that I'm a rocker through and through (thanks for the line, Joe Dirt). Still, I can appreciate a great vocal.
It was Mariah Carey night on American Idol tonight. She's gone a little loopy in recent years but for my money she is one of the two greatest female singers of modern history. She is the most successful solo artist of all time if you can believe it. But 18 No. 1 singles is incredible.
After listening to those wannabes butcher Mariah's songs, I decided to check out a few performances on youtube. She's got range, she can belt it, she can sing you to sleep. She's great. But there's only one person that can top her...Whitney Houston.
Speaking of going a little loopy, Whitney has done that too and maybe a little more so. But let's not forget how fabulous she was. I listened to her Star Spangled Banner performance at the Super Bowl and it sent chills down my spine. Whitney could bring a grown man to tears with her voice. If you don't think so, go to youtube and search for Whitney Houston, One Moment in Time.
Here's the unquestionable and undebatable list: Whitney, No. 1. Mariah, No. 2.
(I can't believe I just blogged about that).

I'm glad for the parenthetical phrase at the end of this post. I was thinking it the whole way through the post. Still...I have to agree with your assessment, at least for modern voices.
But declaring either of ladies superior to Ella Fitzgerald is a little risky.
