It's difficult to overlook the fact that Mariah does have talent, but I dislike her more for what she has spawned than what she's created herself.

Thanks to her (and Whitney Houston) we now have this endless procession of Mariah "wanna bees" who cannot simply sing a song, they have to contort their voices into all manner of vocal gymnastics, note bending and flat out screaming in some misguided attempt to replicate her style and sound.

Makes me all stabby just thinking about it...

beerrun: "bland, shallow, unsatisfying"

So, basically, just like her entire recorded output?

Huck And Molly Ziegler: Mariah Carey is an abomination to the beautiful art of human vocal music. Her squeaks and yelps are worthless, and I have to wonder why she's been a "name" for this long.

I'm going to give you a hint.

Every time I hear this kind of singing I want to tell "Get on with it!" Monty python style

I believe the term is 'Urban Yodeling'.

I used that term once on a chat board shortly after Whitney Houston died and was severely chastised and banned from posting there anymore. Good times...good times.
