The timeless Whitney Houston

Mutual respect

I prefer Whitney but Celine’s That’s the Way It Is and Hymne à l'amour are just as legendary as Whitney’s best songs and performances. 

[NUTELLA 29,993]

I feel like I was absent from the week of Gay School where we learned to appreciate these two 🤷🏽‍♂️ 

Both incredibly talented, but both inspire knee-jerk “meh”s from me

I never completed the course credits for Gay School—got bullied by the boys  but I grew up around rhythmic liturgies and vocal Masses, so something intrinsic about that soul Whitney embodies and articulates just resonates with a certain nostalgic familiarity … but that’s just my take on the blink

I’m a gay school dropout.

Both phenomenal singers but I prefer Celine's music

I won’t vote in this. They’re 100% equals to me in their own specific lanes.   They both feed my soul and blow me away for different reasons.  Old school Mariah too.

I think they’re both powerful singers but even in their peaks their artistry and talents didn't even come close to Mariah Carey icl.

Tone - Celine 

Agility - Whitney (at her peek)

Range - Whitney 

Technique - Celine

Y'all need to be for real. Celine and Whitney would sing Mariah under a table.

Considering Celine’s current vocal showcase and Whitney’s before she died they absolutely wouldn’t. Whitney suffered a massive range shrinkage, same as Celine. Mariah’s range is still pretty wide considering.

To be fair … the original reference was Whitney or Celine, to which you included Mariah (“even in their peaks”); so it seems diversionary to now reference Whitney “before she died” and Celine‘s “current vocal showcase,” especially without referencing Mariah‘s recent vocal showcases … just, fair is fair, and to maintain focus … but I could be misinterpreting the original parameters and comparative progression

 

ETA: Noted the “considering,” but I haven‘t heard a non lip-synced recent Mariah performance … so that might just be my lapse in current vocal reference for the third option
