Tamar Braxton Says Mariah Carey Is A Better Vocalist Than Whitney Houtson 

And I prefer Toni over Tamar.

Whitney is Whitney and Mariah is Mariah, no one should be pitting them against each!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Mariah is definitely one of the best vocalists ever but Whitney was in a league of her own.

I’m sure Whitney would have preferred Toni.

Her preference is Mariah. Just like some people’s preference is Rihanna over Beyoncé. People making this a big deal is insane.

Clickbait title. She didn’t say Mariah was better, she said she preferred listening to her music more than Whitney’s. She has always said that.

Whitney in her prime, was the better vocalist. Period

TAMAR SAID SHE PREFERS MARIAH OVER WHITNEY. She never said who was better. smh

Now Tamar you know that’s a damn lie 😂 Mariah Carey in her prime is amazing, but she not touching Whitney the Houston EVER😂😂

That is not what she said. She was asked her PERSONAL PREFERENCE

I had to *report* y’all video for that misquoted headline. Tamar NEVER SAID THAT.

She did not say Mariah is a better vocalist than Whitney, she said she prefers her music and as an artist overall. So what

Now why is this the title? Tamar didn’t say that. She just said she preferred Mariah’s music. That’s her favorite artist.

Misleading title. She never said Mariah was a better vocalist she just said she prefer Mariah music than Whitneys

This is a messy title because it insinuates like she’s saying she think Mariah is better when she say she prefers her music. So just because she was Whitney back up singer, she supposed to only have her on her playlist? That corny. Everyone commenting has that one artist they gravitate towards every over others and Tamar is allowed to hers. Fake news

She didn't say Mariah was a better vocalist. She said she was her favorite. Two different things

Tamar said her Preference is Maria, she never said that Whitney is not a good singer, the question posed to her as would she chose Whitney or Maria. Why we hating on her.

All Mariah has/had was a higher range. Whitney was on a whole nother level across the board

Mariah and Whitney both could sing. It's okay for Tamar to have her preferences. Like grow up. Not that serious. At all.

Girl no. Whitney is Whitney… the greatest vocalist of all time.

Go and watch Whitney Houston do the American national anthem LIVE … then go and watch Mariah Carey do the national Anthem .. LIVE… there is no competition for Whitney.

Mariah Carey is a genius. Whitney was a fantastic singer. Mariah is a songwriter. She can make an album in her sleep that will be played 40 years from now. You can't compare the two.

people are acting like she ain't allowed to have a musical preference

Mariah may can hit a higher key but does not have octave strength or bandwidth of Whitney!

Whitney can't be compared to anyone else. Not EVER! Whitney had class, beauty, stage presence and a voice UNPARALLELED!!!!!!!!💜 She was and is, in a class ALL by herself!!!💯

No way in the world is Mariah Carey better than Whitney Houston.

Tamar’s messy. Pay her zero and she goes away 🙄

She NEVER said Mariah is a “better vocalists than Whitney”. Fix that title 🤦🏽‍♀️ She said she prefers Mariah’s music (who is her favorite singer). That headline is misquoted!

TAMAR CAN HAVE HER OPINION DAMN LOL !!!! I agree w Tamar. I think its an age thing. Whitney has a great voice but Mariah is more my speed. Anyone who has ever heard Tamar sing knows shes a MC fan.

So Tamar is not allowed to voice her opinion on HER preference?

Tamar always loved Mariah Carey she said a lot on the real

Tamar Braxton crazy as hell.

Lies! Whitney was the VOICE!!!

As a singer myself… I'll say Whitney Houston’s voice was just so golden that everything she touched sounded amazing. But Mariah’s songs, even without the whistle notes, are harder to sing. I don't touch them except easier ones like Hero. Most of the time people cover Whitney songs to prove they can sing with soul and they're capable of singing them. They just don't sound as good as Whitney about 90% of the time and there's nothing they can do about that. They avoid Mariah songs because of a skill issue or even a range issue. People focus on her whistle notes but sometimes Mariah sings as low as Toni Braxton and then switched to high soprano in the same song and I'm just like bro that's not fair now come on. Either way they're both supreme singers. Nobody sounds like Whitney Houston except Glennis Grace and nobody cares 😂.

But she didn't say Mariah was a better vocalist she said she like Mariah music more.

Whitney is the greatest vocalist but I find myself listening to Mariah more. It is what it is

Why do we even need to compare them? They’re both legends in their own right 🙌🏽♥️

I understand its an opinion but wow...To me--{whitney was special 🎤

Why is it that people act like people can't have their own personal preference of singers and different things in general. The majority rule s*** ends after elementary.

Tamar just needs to sing! No talking just sing 🎤

She likes Mariah's songs better which is better

Tamar is allowed to have a preference. Just like every other human on this planet. Whether we like it or not. If you disagree with Tamar, that's cool. But let's not fight hate with hate. Grow up, people. And have a fabulous day!

No Whitney Houston slander will be tolerated. 😆

That's her opinion, her preference, not sure why people are so upset about it. I'm not saying I agree with her, but that's her preference. Get over it

She knew that was a dangerous question, so she answered that in the best way she knew how. She also knew that the world would attack her for her preference

Tamar never said better, she just spoke on HER PERSONAL PREFERENCE‼️ Everyone has a right to their own liking‼️

Mariah Carey’s range is amazing. Perhaps this is why real singers always note her song as the most difficult to sing

It's a preference yall 🙄 she never even said Mariah was a better vocalist she said she prefers Mariah over Whitney and there's nothing wrong with that. My mom prefers Patti over Aretha. She loves both artists but if she had to spend her last dime to see them in concert it would be Patti. I'm convinced people just like to argue cause everyone has a preference of their fav artist.

Its her preference, this world is just beyond sick, people act like Tamar said Mariah is better than Whitney!!

Her preference y'all........stop tripping!!!

I agree with no disrespect towards Houston's music legacy. Mariah can reach and serenade those extremely high notes with grace like no other.

I still don't understand why this topic gets brought up to this day. They are both once in a lifetime talents that we will never see again. There isn't a vocalist in the world who isn't inspired by them both. I love them both, and 'When You Believe' is like a gospel song for me. We will probably never get a duet with two of the greatest voices in the world like that again. Like it was stated this is going to come down to personal preference because they have different styles of singing with different strengths. Whitney's voice was three octaves and her powerful resonant belts were unmatched. Mariah's voice was five octaves and her agility , to go from the bottom of her register to the top of her register, was unmatched. This isn't to say that Whitney didn't have range/agility and that Mariah didn't have powerful resonant belts. They both are great, and they have both acknowledged how the industry tried to start this feud. I know Tamar wrote Love and War. Maybe that's why she's more influenced by Mariah because Mariah is involved in the songwriting and production of her songs. Who knows, but it's her personal preference and that's okay. Ya'll attacking someone over their opinion is wack, and put some respect on Mariah's name. The way some of ya'll talk about her now is the way ya'll were talking about MJ and Whitney before they passed.

I also prefer Mariah Carey over Whitney. I live in Memphis and it’s thousands of women that sound just like Whitney in churches all over the south but MC voice just hits different. It’s just more unique to me.

So the headline is misleading…what Tamar said was that personally she preferred Mariah Carey since Tamar is a huge Mariah Carey fan….

I think Tamar made it PERFECTLY clear that it's her personal preference. She emphasized that she thinks Whitney is an amazing singer and didn't even compare the 2.

Misleading title. She was talking about her personal preference.

The title of the vid isn’t even what she said 🤦🏾‍♀️ she said her preference is Mariah nothing about better vocalist

This is her opinion.

*The vocal elasticity, the vocal control, the melisma, the song interpretation, the velvety-honey like tone that blankets her voice from top to bottom, the diction, the vocal power, the vibrato, the operatic head notes, the resonance, the breath control, the vocal sustainability, the vocal clarity, the vocal emotiveness, the delivery, the stage presence....THE VOICE* Whitney *'The Vocal Tsunami'* Houston............... Whitney *'Diamond Vocal Cords'* Houston. 🔥🔥💎💎

It’s clear y’all don’t know Mariah’s catalog!! Mariah got hits!!!’

She said NOTHING about being a better vocalist. She just would rather LISTEN to Mariah.

Whitney is like MJ of R&B/Soul

I'm leaving this post early wit "Don't ask Nick Canon about music"...😢😂😂😂😂

Mariah Carey is my number 1 as well

Mariah and Whitney both had/have great vocals and its really up to preference. I must say Mariah's songwriting was always immaculate.

TBC I know it’s early but Y’all spelled Houston wrong in the title.

Your reading has improved Jess, great job. I am very proud of you and I am rooting for you. For real, Fr 👌🏾😇💕❣️💜

Why or how are we still comparing the two in 2024. They both are in their own league. And they both have crowns of their own. They both are incomparable. I love them both. Yes we will have our preferences. But we can’t compare neither.

Witney is a legend but mariah dope too

Tamar must be smoking on the same thing that Eddie Kane Jr was getting high off of.

Technically/Vocally speaking, YES Mariah can do more with her voice! It’s just a matter of preference! Both are the greatest vocalists ever to pick up a mic 🎤

Its very clear alot of you received unsatisfactory marks in critical thinking... she said she's not the biggest fan, not that shes less talented... You ppl really arent that damn bright.... like how this many ppl miss the whole question... just out here talking abt stuff no one even asked abt!!!

We cannot compare and put one on the top of the other. They both have particularities. WH had things MC had not and vice-versa.

Mariah is my favorite too what's the problem. I also like Whitney come down people can like who they like

Damn, people are normally dragging Mariah. “Oh she will never be Whitney!” Etc.. There are tons of artists who prefer Mariah’s artistry. I love Whitney as well but if we are talking about discography Mariah is miles ahead. She gave you the songs like vision of love, dreamlover, one sweet day, etc.. but she also did a excellent job of meshing r&b/rap together with breakdown, the roof, always be my baby remix, etc… She could have just sat there and belted but she was a more versatile artists all and all.

I agree Mariah has a way better catalog to me 🤷🏿‍♂️

Haters gonna Hate….

CLICK BAIT

Why are people not happy with Tamar’s answer? It’s HER preference. The internet always mad when someone has their own opinion. It’s quite irritating.

Tamar is a air head we all know this already 😂

Dont do that. That's not what Tamar said. She gave her personal preference, and you have obviously given a misleading title so people can come for Tamar 🙄

Tamar entitled to HER opinion. Mariahs catalog may be bigger but WHITNEY will always reign supreme vocally idc what no one say. ✨🦋💜

Tamar said nothing other than The truth Period

I bet if Mariah has passed on and Whitney was still alive, she would say the reverse. We know the game Tamar 😉 You know damn well Mariah ain’t touching Whitney’s heels. She’s a vocalist magician though, but Whitney?! Damn! A different league.

Umm she allowed to think that😂😂😂

I’d have an issue with a platform as big as TBC puttin up a misleading thumbnail like this. Y’all know ppl’s fans be wildin & she did not say that. That ain’t cool

She has an opinion and she stated her preference. Unlike some of y'all, Tamar can actually sing and has been trained and in the business with her sisters for over a decade now. Before Mariah's abilities declined, she def could give Whitney a healthy run for her money, ESPECIALLY if Mariah's pen was involved. They are different and if you like the whistling songbird style, you'd go with Ms. Five Octaves too. She's also a bigger Mariah fan and likes her music better. Nobody is taking away from the Icon that is, Whitney.

That's her personal opinion. They both have amazing voices and range. Both women have the ability to sing all different types of music.

Lol look at all these non-singers in the comments tryna diss Tamar, like ANY of yall can hold a note next to Tamar 😂 mariah has a higher AND lower range than whitney. I prefer Mariah vocally cuz she is unlimited. Whitney is a great soul singer but vocally, Mariah is better and can do so much more with her voice than Whitney. But ud have to be a TRUE sanger to understand that.

Tamar is a major Mariah Carey fan so I am not surprised.

Tamar likes Mariah over Toni...told Toni that to her face. So the love is deep

Deceptive title. It's Tamar's preference not who the better vocalist is. She is a Mariah fan over Whitney. Period. Cut it out!

It's coming from Tamar, so we should always assume that the opposite is true.

It’s her preference!

Whoever typed up that title set up Tamar to be villainized and that’s WRONG. Not only is the title *MISQUOTED* …that photo is *EDITED* 🤦🏽‍♀️

Her opinion don’t get in your feelings

Definitely agree!! Mariah is the 🐐easy!! Singing and songwriting MC=🐐 Not to mention music is subjective. Whitney had a stronger voice, but Mariah has one of the highest octave’s ever!! I LOVE MC!! Like Whitney too!!

I rather listen to mariah than whitney love both but mariah got better bops to me

She never said Mariah was better she just said she is more of a Mariah Carey fan and there is nothing wrong with that

Why is everyone in the comments so mad about Tamar's opinion? That's what great about everyone having their own minds and opinions. We can agree to disagree.
