The greatest female artist of all time snub (114,113) by Dave from USA
Mainly because, she isn't. You now have Beyonce and Taylor who have emerged as actual artists. Even numbers wise, Madonna at 67 is having a resurgence and looks to open with more first week sales for her latest album than MC's latest. All these women have one major thing that Mariah doesn't. Growth. Mariah just does the same boring predictable music. Her last true form of art was Butterfly. She showed such a change in her music, her persona, and her art as a brand. She is stuck on the same music and unrelatable diva image. You can't play the diva thing if you can't deliver the goods, that being her voice. It's literally gone now. She just doesn't evolve.

The greatest female artist of all time snub (114,112) by TJ from Norway
When they started claiming that, she wasn't the greatest female artist of all time. Both Nana Mouskori and Barbra Streisand (and I also guess Madonna) had sold more albums at the time, but MC was in the wind at the moment.

The greatest female artist of all time snub (114,111) by MusicfanJ from Germany
First it was pure envy. Because she was married to the label boss, was always looking absolutely perfect like a princess, clean image, a natural beauty with money and fame and a voice that was out of this world. It was almost too much. People are okay if a person has one "thing", but Mariah really did have everything during the 90ies until 2001. Then the image changed, in 97 there was the new Mariah, most people still liked the sexy "new" Mariah with more RnB and Hip Hop influences because there were still the ballads and her looks were still great.

But the last 10 years, the image went down sadly. Most people just see a diva nowadays, who always cares about her looks and expensive things but not about the music. The diva thing overshadowed the music. Celine and Adele are also "divas" but when they talk they seem more down to earth. I just say it seems so for the average people who don't know much about Mariah.

I think no one has a problem that Mariah mixed the genres, at least I've never heard it. Mariah is the Queen of Pop-Soul, but yes she can sing everything. Some other thoughts why she doesn't get more recognition nowadays?

MC's best bridge (114,110) by MusicfanJ from Germany
One of the best for sure. Here's another favourite:

And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away, mmm
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that I
Give you all I am inside

The greatest female artist of all time snub (114,109) by Bobby A from United States
Why doesn't the music industry recognize MC more as the greatest female artist of all time? We all know that she has definitely earned the title. I think the music industry doesn't want to recognize her as the versatile artist that she is because it would cause an uproar among Whitney Houston's fanbase and stir up the whole debate of MC being the female artist who started the trend of merging pop, R&B and hip hop together.

One hundred percent (114,108) by Zachariah from Croatia
Don't you ever
Be discouraged
Let nobody take your courage
If you gonna pray don't worry
If you gonna worry don't pray
You just keep the faith and listen to me

Oh Taylor (114,107) by Edward from USA
Taylor made history in 2023 by becoming the first musician to reach billionaire status solely through her music, songwriting, and touring revenue, largely thanks to the historic Eras Tour.

I think it's time for her to take a well deserved break, just like Rihanna did. Have a few babies, disappear for a while, and then come back when nobody remembers her.

Wedding (114,106) by Bobby A from United States
MC would never attend Taylor's wedding. Taylor and MC don't have the same circle of friends.

MC's best bridge (114,104) by MusicfanJ from Germany
Don't say, "She takes it all for granted"
I'm well aware of all I have
Don't think that I am disenchanted
Please understand

MC's best bridge (114,103) by MusicfanJ from Germany
I'm addicted to the bridge of "All I ever wanted". I often repeat it while listening. Her bridges are the best. You allready mentioned so many good ones. Here's another one.

You were the only one (only one)
That I allowed inside my heart
Now I'm just holding on
To something so far gone
Oh, where did I go wrong?

MC's best bridge (114,102) by Edward from USA
I can't pretend these tears
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly

Honorable mention

And it's hard
And it's hard
And it's hard

MC's best bridge (114,101) by Lainsky from Philippines
I love this bridge too, as well as All I've Ever Wanted. I sang these bridges more than the chorus back in the day.

MC's best bridge (114,100) by Lainsky from Philippines
This is my favorite bridge. That's why I wish she had released this song commercially. While it sounds like WBT and DFAU, it's a potential chart-topper.

MC's best bridge (114,099) by Sasha from Nomansland
Reaching out into the distance
Searching for spirits of the past
Just a trace of your existence to grasp

This song is one of the most beautiful she has ever written. So deep and hunting. I can't believe she was only 19 or 20 years old when she wrote it. Those were the days.

Cause All I've Ever Wanted is you.

One of my favorites too.

MC's best bridge (114,097) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Maybe not the "best" bridge but a bridge I really love is "For the Record". Uniquely using her discography to describe her feelings.

For the record
You'll "Always be a part of me" no matter what you do
For the record
Can nobody say I didn't give "my all" to you
For the record
I told you "underneath the stars" that you "belong" to me
For the record
It's obvious that we just "can't let go" of us "honeyyyy".

MC's best bridge (114,096) by John from USA
Beautiful and bittersweetly
You were fading into me
And I was gently fading into you
But the time went sailing by
Reluctantly we said goodbye
And we left our secret place so far behind
And I lay in bed all night and I was

A place in time still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind

MC’s best bridge (114,094) by Lambi from USA
I love this rare stripped down gem of a bridge:

Thunder clouds
Hung around
So threateningly
Ominously hovering
And the sky
Opened wide
Showering

Pure poetry, happy 4th Lambily.

MC's best bridge (114,093) by Jamie from UK
Everything I do is for you
And you are every part of me
And I don't want to face
Another day
Alone
Without your love

MC's best bridge (114,092) by Lighty from China
You and me in a cloud of reverie
Spin around inside my head unendingly
(Over and over and over and over)
Thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize
Paint pretty pictures of what I'd do if you were mine
Baby I...

Tell me what you need
Let me give you all of me
'Cause without you nothing's real
You're the reason that I feel
Tell me what you need
Let me give you everything
Every moment I'm alive
Until the end of time life

MC's best bridge (114,090) by Bill from the UK
I once was lost but now I'm found
I got my feet on solid ground
Thank you Lord

If you believe within your soul
Just hold on tight and don't let go
You can make it
Make it happen
