Why are there no artists like Mariah Carey, Whitney, Celine Dion these days?

I will pledge $1 million dollars to hire thugs to make the lives of the hurricane victims worse, until Celine Dion takes back her check.

Regardless of what you think of her, Mariah Carey has a heck of a vocal range. She even won a guiness record for highest note ever recorded. I remember hearing a while back that she could even open garage doors with her voice...which could come in handy if you lost your clicker

Celine Dion won Eurovision for Switzerland in 1988 with this song..that's a pretty big deal (if you are into Eurovision like me

):

I'm assuming that means she called Guinness just so they could come all the way down out to one of her concerts and honor her in their book?

1.) That's hella douchey.

2.) I doubt Guinness people are just roaming the countryside looking for singers, so I imagine there's a pretty small pool of candidates who've competed for that award.

Neither of the things bolded are in any way an automatic indication of talent. Observe!

I wonder if in that universe there was a duplicate of her, identical in every way, except that she could actually sing?

I don't think any of us are questioning her singing ability, just her ability to make us care.

I never said it takes talent to win. I just said it was a big deal if you are into Eurovision

The greatest song ever to be performed on Eurovision was "L'amour Est Bleu" sung by Vicky Leandros representing Luxembourg in '67. The fact it came in fourth only proves that Eurovision isn't what it's all cracked up to be.

Vicky - L'amour Est Bleu - ESC 1967

A close second place GOAT (greatest of all time) Eurovision song would be Waterloo by ABBA, which won the contest in '74. Third GOAT Eurosong would be Françoise Hardy '63 entry. They are probably the only Eurovision entries I really know of, so it's a very bias list. But any other song besides I'd ever from Eurovision was very blah to me.
