  • Note by note comparison of Whitney and Mariah's belting range in their 40s, which for Whitney is 2003-2012 and for Mariah is 2009-2019. Please don't take this as too much of a competition. It's really more of a showcase of how great they both still were so late into their careers.
    For those wondering why I didn't choose better notes in some cases, I tried to avoid relying on once in a blue moon performances like Beacon 2014 for Mariah. I could have easily gotten better Bb4s, B4s, and Eb5s from Beacon but it seemed more accurate to feature a wide variety of clips. Also, the one 2009 clip I used for Mariah's E5 was in her very early 40s but so was Whitney's 2004 clip. Mariah has a couple clips here where she's pushing 50 too.

Like a lamb bleating,And drugs that gave strength,Then she lost her voice,People whistled at concerts. She didn't compose any songs. She was worse than Mariah.

    That D5 Whitney hit!!! So clear and powerful for that era! The moments when her voice cleared up you realize that she didn't lose as much range as we thought. If we had the chance to experience her voice when she stopped smoking cigarettes I think we would be pleasantly surprised. And she had better moments in the later years than displayed here, btw.

    If Whitney Houston has no addiction, she is still good at singing. Her voice was literally destroyed by drugs, smoke, and alcohol. But at the end of that, no one can still replace her prime. She is still the best among the other's and inspired a lot of singers like me and for the future singers too. I love Mariah Carey's voice It's unique, with airier and whisperer sounds. But when it comes to Whitney Houston my hands is hands down. Stop comparing these to legendary diva because they're both different in all aspects.

      I agree. Only about 10-20% of her loss of range was due to aging I think. If she took good care of her voice she could still belt up to F#5 no problem even in the 2000s.
