Mariah Carey vs Freddie Mercury?
Both have the hits, both have the voice, But sometimes Mariah's high pitched vocals sometimes are a little irritating. But doesn't take away from her accolades. On the other side we have arguably the greatest Rock singer who ever lived. Excellent songwriter, awesome songs, and his presence on stage was un-matched. You do you got.

i personally prefer Freddie, but you have to give Mariah recognition for that five-octave vocal range. she has the ability to reach notes beyond the 7th octave, and is obviously one of the most influential female voices in music.
Freddie, however, had a four-octave range, but these 2 voices are obviously different because one is male and the other is female. Freddie was said to have "the rawest vocal fold nodules" and claimed never to have had any formal vocal training, whereas Mariah went through extensive vocal training for years.
i think they're both equally talented vocalists, i just happen to personally prefer Freddie : )
What kind of sick joke is this? I admit Mariah Carey is a good singer and all, but overall, easily Freddie Mercury. Why? He was able to push the boundaries of rock music. He had original concepts, with a lovely voice. What does Mariah Carey have going for her? A pretty face along with a good voice. That does not come nowhere near close what Mercury was able to do.

Freddie Mercury!! For some reason Mariah Carey annoys the sh*t out of me.
Hands down, Freddie Mercury. Freddie has an amazing voice and if I listen to Mariah Carey for too long her voice gets annoying and she gives me a headache...
Freddie definitely had the edge when it came to showmanship. He had a fantastic stage presence, and his songs were great for audience participation, with lots of opportunity to clap along, etc. Mariah is, in my humble opinion, a far better vocalist - but only in the studio. I don't think she'd be so exciting to watch on stage. She's very beautiful to look at, but that's about it. :-)
Freddie Mercury is a legend. Besides I wouldn't agree with the fact that both had the voice. Freddie's vocal range is amazing.

you should be ashamed of yourself for even comparing the 2... first off freddie mecury has passed away and his glorious music still lives on to this day. mariah carey is quite past her prime and has to do anything she can just to stay in the public eye.
10 years from now, less people will have heard of mariah carey... but people will still be screaming queen songs at major sporting events and in their cars when they're driviing down the road.
Freddie Mercury by a mile
