Mariah Carey is to songwriting as Gershwin is to mud wrestling. No song of hers has a melody that lasts more than five notes before dissolving into mindless trilling and octave pyrotechnics.

Which works perfectly for Mariah Carey. Few other living human beings can match her vocal range. When they try, they just sound, well, like the contestants did last night!


If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that the average vocalist has a range of 3 1/2 octaves; Mariah Carey has an 8 octave range.

You may not like her style of music, but I rank her among the greatest female vocalists of all time, along with Judy Garland and Karen Carpenter.
