A travesty in the music world!
 
Ok so I was flipping around and I landed on MTVII. They were having a top-ten voices of our time countdown as voted by the people. There were all the people you could expect, excluding the crackheads who voted for Christina Agulera. I was over-all pretty happy with the list the people had voted, especially Freddie Mercury of Queen in the #2 spot, but I was horrified to see Mariah Carey at #1!!!


Anyone care to comment?

Horrified to say the least.Mariah was probably voted in by those who believe the myth that she has an 8 octave range.Hmmm....humanly impossible.Must be the shorts that ride up her ass that deflect attention from her voice.Oh well,better her than the other sreaming diva..Celine Dion.

That's just fucking stupid.


They never look at people like Ella Fitzgereld or other from the Jazz era.

i'm still waiting for her to sing the low bass notes in her 8 octave range. :rolleyes:

The yodeling Diva is SUCH a pain in the ass!! Just because a woman can piss off every dog in a three mile radius, doesn't mean she's talented!
Scenario: Mariah Carey singing the "Queen of the night" aria from "The Magic Flute"; that oughta keep ANY music lover awake and scared for a while!!

The list was sponsored by The Society to Promote Mariah's Comeback.

Otherwise, it makes no sense.

You can't expect much from pop culture...it's unfortunate that many of the people who voted probably don't have any idea who Ella Fitzgerald is. Voices of our time...right...whatever.

Of course it's a travesty. MTV is a travesty.

Perhaps she belongs in the top 50 voices as chosen by people who still watch MTV.

Arguing over Pop Culture lists is like running in the Special Olympics...

It's MTV, did you expect better cause a "2" was in the title?

paddyjoe 04-23-2003 05:28 AM

I remember when MTV meant Music Television.
Now more like Moron Television.

Peetster 04-23-2003 05:43 AM

Top 50 at best. I also agree with you on #2.

AxByC 04-23-2003 08:40 AM

People still watch that shitty ass channel called mtv? I stopped watching it when I learned to think for myself.

meanSpleen 04-23-2003 11:30 AM

Dam, Mariah Carey has a great voice. Too bad she has such terrible choice in the music and songs she performs.

Plummie 04-23-2003 05:27 PM

Mariah can sing like a mofo, she has a rare gift, but #1? Really I'm not sure I can agree with that.....

KWSN 04-23-2003 05:37 PM

Wait a second... LOUIS ARMSTRONG WASN'T ON THE LIST?????

I need to go fall off a cliff onto a bed of flaming spikes, if you'll excuse me.

vermin 04-23-2003 09:02 PM

If I want to hear high-pitched vocal squealing (and often do), I'll listen to Rush. Mariah's a joke.

GreenCloud 04-26-2003 12:02 PM

just goes to show the ignorance of those who voted on the list in the first place..... seems no one appreciates good music anymore, they just go for the fad of the moment... these are the same types of idiots who, for instance, claim to be "punk", yet have never even heard of the Ramones, the Clash, or The Sex Pistols(etc)... i'm just surprised that so many of them (apparently) knew who Freddie Mercury is.

Johnny Rotten 04-26-2003 02:10 PM

She has an amazing voice but can't make even a halfway-decent tune. All schmalty, syrupy shite.

merkerguitars 04-26-2003 07:07 PM

Umm it's a station thats an offshoot of mtv..that explains it all.

student 05-06-2003 04:46 AM

i was disappointed that chris carraba, i think thats his name from dashboard confessional didnt make the list. that dude has an awesome voice.
