TOUCH MY BODY IS SO CATCHY, although it has less vocal range, it has a good rythm and beat. She is such an incredible singer!! SHE CAN SING 5 OCTAVES HIGH!!!! MADONNA ON THE OTHER HAND SUCKS!!!!!

Clunky, repetitive, key-thumping, linear, repetitive…
Awful.
Give me the Mariah version any day.

Further, i also said that all Mariah songs sound the same. On second thoughts, i think they do not. It is a matter of taste and the genre she works on (hip-hop). It could be the case that Mariah music is so catchy that you may bore yourself after repeated exposure to it.

I think i made the impression i don’t find Mariah extremely talented! She’s actually awesome. There’s no doubt about it. For an artist to have such a long line of #1s on equal footing with the Beatles, there must be something extraordinary about her talent. Millions of people all around the world who have enjoyed her music throughout almost 20 years, can’t go wrong. I just wanted to point out about songwriting, but even on this i am not sure because i don’t know how songwriting unfolds, because i am not a musician. I guess that if Mariah can sing the tune at different musical ranges, she must have a perfect pitch and music tunning to sing the same melody at many vocal ranges. Madonna, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to be a gifted musician, because she has performed horribly on some live events, for example, the 1998 Mtv video music awards where madonna was singing ray of light gave too much to beg from the Queen of pop/dance. She was not actually singing but crowing. Awful!

I agree that Mariah’s voice isn’t the same anymore, but She can still sing very difficult songs, reaching either really hight notes or down lown ones.
What I like about Thouch My Body is the way mariah and her Backup singers harmonize. Over the years, Mariah has been improving this ability and in her New album, she delighted the fans harmozing to her own voice many times. Sometimes she sings the same part in three different tones producing such a beautiful effect.
I don’t know anything about Madonna, So I cant make a comparison.

I love Madonna and Mariah very much. It is true that mariah is not inventive in her songs, because most of them sound pretty similar. Further, Mariah songwriting skill is difused because on most of her albums, she co-writes with more than 3 or 4 songwriters so that you don’t really know which of them bled over the most of the song. Further, Mariah voice is impressive but recently she doesn’t sound as in her 90’s albums, her voice has deteriorated quite soon for her age and i am always wondering why it she doesn’t click like in her marvellous vocal performance in “without you” . Madonna voice is also good although lacks the wide range and vigour of mariah’s. Madonna is more creative that mariah. She cowrites and produces more of her song. She can make out super hits on almost all kinds of musics, such as: hip-hop, dance, electronica, pop, rock, R&B… Her creativity is much more flexible and therefore her works are much more appealing to wider audiences.

I’m not sure I understand why there’s a comparison in the first place. Mariah was known in the beginning as a serious, soulful singer; Madonna was the dance queen. Sure, their respective talents overlap, but they don’t even really cater to the same crowd since Mariah’s taken an R&B angle lately and Madonna seems to be heading toward hip hop-infused dance tracks. Why compare them when they’re both good entertainers?
