If this isn't a sign that the end days are upon us I don't know what is:
LOS ANGELES - With her 18th chart-topper "Touch My Body," Mariah Carey has passed Elvis Presley for the most No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and is now second only to the Beatles.

I dont know, Mariah Carey has a good voice
I think Mariah Carey has a horrible voice. It honestly hurts my ears when she does that squeaky thing. I try to find merit in all forms and varieties of music, but she makes it very difficult. So do Kenny Chesney, Finger 11, and P-Diddy.
well, I was just trying to stick to the unspoken rule on this board that if someone somewhere likes something it cannot be bad, if you are to say it is bad your karma will drop from 22 to 5, not that i would know tho

I am not saying she is bad for all just for me. Appearently some people love hear enough to actully pay money for her CD to hear her sing. And some people hit the repeat button.

Apparently a WHOLE LOT of people love Mariah Carey for her to have more #1 hits than Elvis. Who is in charge of this BillBoard 100 thing anyway? Most everything on Billboard 100 is neppitistic music industry spawned plastic crapola.
For me the Billboard 100 is a laundry list of what music to avoid.
Makes me proud that ALL of the money I spend on music goes to artists who exist outside of the mainstream music biz.
I can't stand her - don't like her voice and think she acts and dresses like a slut - when she was first becoming popular and still covered herself - I could tolerate it but now ------no different then Britney

People are being a little ridiculous with the bad karma...someone handed it out to me just because I said I liked Mastodon...yikes.
But about the M. Carey thing....even if she passes the Beatles on the most chart-toppers...there was still Glitter..... (and that's not saying anything bad about her as a singer...badddd choice of a movie on the part of her manager..yikes)

Here's some Karma because you like Mastodon. I plan to see them.
She really does have a good voice...her range is unbelievable.
As for her stuff after like 1998...it sucks. I do own a few of her CDs from the early 90's. It's poppy but what else was I supposed to listen to when I was young?

she does have a pretty good vocal range...but i think shes a little full of herself...i mean come on, did anyone see the MTV cribs episode that she was in?? who jumps on a step machine in stilleto heels????
There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard. No song that I could sing. But I can try for your heart Our dreams, and they are made out of real things Like a, shoebox of photographs With sepiatone loving Love is the answer
A little feeling in my gut that I get of late when I think about these cats running the world with hate

I find her range to be less unbelievable and more painful.
Don't feel badly, though. Everyone has guilty pleasures and/or stuff they listened to when they were young. I went through a wicked bad Carpenters phase - long after Karen Carpenter was dead, mind you.
All this really means is that Elvis will wrap up his 30ish year tour of truck stops and Denny's across middle America and get back into the studio to prove he's not really dead. And to end the rumors, too.

^^Have you not been reading? The majority of us acknowledged her hottitude while agreeing it has nary an implication on her artistic abilities or lack thereof.

lakai,
I think it does suck that your karma took a massive hit, because i think we share very similar tastes in music. Any NewDeal fan is a friend of mine..
But i saw your posts in the most recent ABB thread.
Sorry if i'm mistaken, but it seemed like you were begging for negative karma for the things you kept going on and on about.
Now, i bet your karma doesn't suffer much in this Mariah thread, but everyone knows that when you go into the Troo Music Lounge and open a thread for a top tier name and repeatedly flame a beloved artist in the inforoo community, you're gonna get frowned upon (and well...smited..) Don't you think it's at least a little bit delayed to bring it up in another thread a week later, as delayed as it is ???
on subject:
Mariah obviously has staying power. I guess she deserves her spot in the music industry. *shrugs*
She really does have a good voice...her range is unbelievable.

Early 90's?! Gee, I don't know... Pearl Jam, Black Crowes, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, Jane's Addiction...
Yeah, you're right, Mariah Carey was your only option.
