Well, It's tough to say.
I think Maria should eventually be in because she is a talented singer and a big influence.

Mariah has made beautiful songs, but often forgettable and overly fluffy and cutesy.
Vision of Love, All I Want For Christmas is You and We Belong Together are exhibits of true greatness. All I Want For Christmas is You is honestly the only real modern addition to the Christmas music canon.

Mariah has always been about the power of the rap duet despite her gigantic voice and diva theatrics. She brought quite a few rappers into the mainstream radio world (Ol Dirty Bastard, Jay-Z, Da Brat, Nas)

Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis (considered some of the best pop divas of recent years) are influenced greatly Mariah. Beyonce and Christina have both mentioned that "Vision of Love" was one of their biggest inspirations.

However it can't be denied that so many of her frequently bragged about number ones are completely forgettable (I Don't Wanna Cry, My All, Don't Forget About Us) and others are syrupy/corny (One Sweet Day, Touch My Body). Alot of Mariah's music is a transient pleasure.

But I will say on the fact that she has two great albums (Mariah Carey, Emancipation of Mimi) and so much influence- Mariah deserves to eventually make the Rock and Roll hall of fame.

Pop music lovers...it might be time you start your own hall of fame and stop polluting Rock & Roll history with your crap!
What Mariah Carey has got to do with Rock & Roll?
Nothing! Why should she even be considered?
The Hall of Fame is already full of pop icons that have just produced shitty music for decades , Madonna is the best example!!! Aren't you happy? Why do you want even more shit in what was supposed to be the Temple of real Rock & Roll music?

Posted by Tony on Friday, 08/8/2014 @ 06:05am

Mariah falls into the category of easy listening, in the tradition of Barbara Streisand, Barry Manilow, Air Supply, and Julio Iglesias.

Not rock and roll by ANY means, so no Hall of Fame induction for Mariah!

Posted by Barry on Friday, 12/12/2014 @ 08:49am

Mariah is indeed a living legend and has contributed so much to the industry,It's only fair that she receive this induction.

Posted by Michael Paul on Monday, 06/8/2015 @ 21:09pm

Of course, Mariah should be inducted. She's tackled every genre of music almost (including Rock...some of her top songs are by rock bands/artists). She's inspired generations. Like all artists, the star might dim as musical tastes change, but she's managed to keep up for decades up until now. Even now, she's still is offered more gigs than anyone that came out with her in the 90's. The RRHoF would be missing a true gem if they passed up on her regardless of what anyone else says to the contrary. You can't argue with success, talent, nor perseverance.

Posted by Brandon on Thursday, 07/30/2015 @ 09:05am

Mariah Carey will make the RRHOF in the 2020-2025 time frame. Vision Of Love came out and this young attractive singer with the soaring voice made people take notice. Her 90's CD Discography is impressive with hit after hit Someday,I'll Be There with Trey Laurens, the Christmas song, Emotions, Hero etc.
Wish she had made a frontwoman CD singing Back In Black with ACDC and Desire by U2, Sweet Child O Mine with Guns N Roses etc. It would have been #1.
Her Unplugged MTV would probably be in my Top 5 with Nirvana #1 and Roxette and KISS in there somewhere.
I think Mariah Carey was smart early to collaborate with some of the young R&B talents. She is RRHOF deserving and still sexy at 45. Mariah will probably look good at 77 if she lives that long. Can't think of Mariah as Prog Adjacent but deserving RRHOF. KING

Posted by KING on Tuesday, 11/17/2015 @ 00:45am

Let's see...18 #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 which topped the previous record of 17 by Elvis (for a solo singer, The Beatles have 20.) and (including airplay only hits), basically has about 45 hits songs to her name. The first female artists to get 4 #1 hits off an album (and a debut album for that matter). Won Best New Artist of 1990 @ the 1991 Grammys (making up for the Grammy's hideous error of 'Milli Vanilli" the year before. Aside from these chart statistics and other awards, she's a vocal phenomenon!

Along with that, what's to hate about her?
She doesn't do drugs, barely drinks and has not let her ego go to her head, despite how easily that can happen in this business. A couple of 'minor' embarrassing moments but I'd rather she have that kind, than to die at an early age from those reasons I just mentioned.

I want to see her inducted and perform on the show...not be inducted 'posthumously' years later. True, only 2 years in but if Tupac can get in after such a short time, she should too.

...and yes, I have all of her albums and singles and have practically (but realistically0 had a crush on her since day one. I also admire her as an artist , songwriter and person in general.

Posted by Walter on Wednesday, 03/28/2018 @ 17:16pm

P.S. - To the guy that said rock and roll is better than R & B. Rock and roll came from R & B in the first place...duh!

Posted by Walter on Wednesday, 03/28/2018 @ 17:22pm

Actually Walter, Elvis had 18 as well. Some weeks Don't Be Cruel was listed as the A-side, some weeks, it was Hound Dog, so music historians are generally agreed that both sides were individual #1 hits in their own respects.

Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 03/28/2018 @ 23:59pm

Oh dear christ no. She's effing dreadful. She is insipid and lame. If you are going to put her in there, you had better put Whitney Houston in there first. It's the same sort of schlockey BS. Next people will be saying Beyonce belongs in there. UGH.

Posted by Gary on Saturday, 12/29/2018 @ 20:33pm

It'd be a travesty if she wasn't nominated or inducted! Mariah writes, sings and produces all of her songs (except her covers) and has the most diverse, eclectic discography of any female artist in recent memory (despite fundamentally being an R&B artist, she has experimented in genres such as Jazz, Soul, Gospel, Rock and EDM as well as midtempo and uptempo Pop.). Just listen to the diverse soundscape covered in her latest critically acclaimed album, Caution - tracks like 'GTFO' experiment in fusing EDM with modern R&B, 'Giving Me Life' is post-modern psychedelia at its finest!

She has the most #1s of any solo artist in the history of recorded music and is the female songwriter with the most #1 singles. This achievement is made all the more significant by the fact that Mariah has never been one to follow trends for the sake of commercial success - she usually sets them, which can be seen in the fact that most, if not all the tropes in Modern Pop, R&B and Hip-Hop music can be traced back to radical musical decisions made by Mariah. Her song 'Vision of Love' popularised the use of Melisma in Pop and R&B. The Fantasy Remix with ODB revolutionized the sonic landscape of Music today, popularising the now-ubiquitous Pop-Hip-Hop collaborative duet. Her voice alone has inspired generations of vocalists, singers and entertainers, with figures such as Beyonce and Christina Aguilera citing her as their main inspiration. Mariah also has the unique ability to cover a song and make it sound as if it is her own - just look at her legendary cover of Harry Nilsson's 'Without You'. She is objective, without a doubt, one of the greatest vocalists of all time, and not to mention one of the few artists to have a song in the Christmas Canon (ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU)

In short, Mariah's unparalleled virtuosity as a singer, songwriter and producer is reason enough for her to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Her persistence and dedication to pushing boundaries with her craft and artistry has amounted to her having an indelible impact on the music industry.

Posted by Lilly on Sunday, 05/12/2019 @ 17:10pm

Certainly not going to be a popular opinion here, but in my opinion, Mariah Carey is a terrible singer. Vocally, she has range, but to me, singing is not about being able to hit notes, but being able to communicate emotion.

With respect to having the most number one singles of any solo artist, I suppose on the surface, that's true.


However, a large percentage of Carey's number ones
were only number one because her record company Columbia Records (and one would have to think they had Carey's assent with this)marketed her singles by selling them for a loss in order to play chart games.

There was a time in which the Billboard Hot 100 charts were based solely on unit sales. This was also a time in which the record companies realized they were losing money on CD single sales, so most artists did not bother to put out CD singles, because they only made money from album sales. But, at that time, it was a requirement for a song to have a CD single to have been released for a song to chart. So, songs that would have been multiweek number ones like No Doubt's "Don't Speak", which were never released in the CD single format, did not chart.

Most CD singles around this time cost around 3 or 4 dollars to buy.

What Mariah Carey and her record company did was to sell her CD singles at an incredible loss, marketing them for 39 cents. A single that was sold for 39 cents counted for one sale and one point toward a chart position as much as another single that cost 3 or 4 dollars. And airplay did not figure into chart position at this time, so it was only unit sales that counted.

The only reason to sell a song for 39 cents is to claim you had a number one record. There were a host of Mariah's number ones that most people would never have heard of that were made "#1 records" in this way, with the only reason selling a CD at an incredible loss being to boost someone's vanity. One could claim without much argument that Mariah Carey is the artist who has lost the most money of any "artist" by marketing her CD singles for a loss. So, in a sense, she's the least popular singles artist of all time, judging from the money that her CD singles lost.

The Billboard charts have since changed their methodology to prevent this type of chicanery so that the release of a CD single is now NOT required for a song to chart. This was in response to the type of chart games that Carey and her record company were playing.

To give her props, though, her Christmas song is a good record.

That is exactly how I feel about Mariah. She has all the ability in the world and can hit any note you want, but doesn't use it any way that is impactful or true. I never feel like she actually believes anything she's singing. Just seems like she comes in to hit the notes and collect her check. She does hit every note though. I can't deny her immense popularity or success and I suspect that she will eventually get into the Hall, especially now that Whitney is in, but I'm just not a fan. She has a couple songs I don't mind, but overall her music is just meh.

Posted by Michael W. on Wednesday, 01/15/2020 @ 15:00pm

They say musical excellency is basically the overall parameter in getting in the Hall. For 30 years she's been doing just that and her 2018 album Caution proves she is still able to produce quality work and unlike many other artist and RRHOF inductees of the past, not rely on her past hits to show for her current state. Even if that wanst the case however, her legacy is one of the strongest in music history and is up there with the Barbra's, Aretha's and Whitney's- two of which are inductees now. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" going number one this year and extending her reign atop the charts just shows her longevity and ability to stay a A-lister for multiple decades. A true, living legend who deserves her props for being one of music's finest artists.

Posted by ABJ on Wednesday, 06/17/2020 @ 16:33pm

She recently revealed that in the '90s she performed on an alternative rock side project for the band Chick, including writing, producing, and singing backup vocals for the entire album. Does this change anything about her candidacy since I imagine one of the main criticisms is that she isn't rock enough? To be sure, this sounds like a lot of other contemporary stuff from Liz Phair to Hole to Alanis Morissette so it probably doesn't score points for innovation, but it probably does show some versatility that people didn't know she had:

There is zero reason to put her in. I mean, seriously? She can't even sing anymore.. not that she was ever that good to begin with, her vocals have always been emotionless. She's just some lady that sings Christmas jingles every year before fading back into complete obscurity.

Posted by Thomas on Sunday, 04/11/2021 @ 07:08am

Her stripping on TRL must be the most rock n roll moment !
But seriously...She's overrated for many years.
Most of her hits were out-dated. She's just a lady we heard from the airplay.

Posted by Kenny on Tuesday, 12/14/2021 @ 03:43am

The amount of revisionist history her fanclub has stated is quite funny but not a surprise too since her fanbase aren't well researched on singing and music in general.

Mariah Carey didn't pioneer singing collaboration with rap music and that's just the truth, this was happening way before Mariah even joined the trend in the mid 90s with Fantasy, Michael Jackson, Chaka Khan, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Prince etc were doing this before Mariah Carey at all.

Mariah has been sued countless of times for stealing samples back in the 90s the most common well known one was The Emotions sample from The Best Of My Love that Maurice White produced due to the similarities of Mariah's song, she was in a relationship with a man who was the head of Sony records between 1990-1996 and some of her biggest hits had a discount rate to them which was a big deal then because of the unfair treatment with other artists who were with Sony, songwriting wise, Walter has said Mariah lies a lot on how the songs happened in the past a good example is All I Want For Christmas Is You. Mariah isn't a very good live performer either, she's supposed to be this great vocalist but... Since the 90s she has dubbed her songs live, great vocalists do not do this at all, they actually live by their names.

Her career has been a fraudulent one and her discography were never critically acclaimed at all, she isn't a well respect artist because if she was then she would always do well in these best of lists and have albums that are considered some of the best ever and her songs would receive universal praises. Whitney Houston was limited from creative control but she has acclaimed reviews regarding her singles, her records, performances etc, she's in the Rock and Roll HOF, she has songs that are in the Grammy HOF, she always does well in the best of lists, Whit is considered one of the all time greats, Mariah isn't

Posted by JCrash on Tuesday, 05/17/2022 @ 12:07pm

Some fans just ranked Mariah up with Aretha and Barbra as being just as influential as the two? Wow and I saw another die hard fan claiming Mariah is a virtuoso which says it all that they know nothing about music

Posted by JCrash on Tuesday, 05/17/2022 @ 13:25pm

Mariah Carey is not even a legend, outside of her delusional fanbase, no one sees her as a "legend."

Is been 32 two years and can anyone really name a song of hers that's considered a classic like an Aretha Franklin, Donna Summer, Whitney Houston (last good female talent), Etta James, Tina Turner, Nina Simone etc?

Outside of her fans, no one rates highly to begin with... I guess I feel bad for those fans who came of age during her era and missed out on the real stars of the.

Posted by Wayne Wilson on Tuesday, 06/7/2022 @ 09:57am

Mariah changed the sound of popular music by blending rap and r&b/pop together. Not to mention her melismatic singing is the standard now. 19 #1's and 18 of them self penned - induct her !!

Posted by Manuel on Saturday, 11/19/2022 @ 15:31pm

Mariah is a phenomenal talent that is able to sing, produce and write every one of her songs, of which she had many hits. Y'all can say what you want to try and discredit her but she had SO much to do with her OWN success. She came from nothing and is now residing at the top. Her contemporaries can't say that they wrote, sang and produced their entire discography. She absolutely deserves her spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.

Posted by Jimmy on Thursday, 01/5/2023 @ 14:24pm

Honestly if Mariah wasn't a Biracial female pop diva, her induction wouldn't even be questioned.

She's more commercially successful than almost anyone (200 million records sold, 19 #1 hits in the span of four decades, best-selling Western act in Japan). She popularized blending R&B with hip-hop and collaborating with rappers, whom she brought into mainstream (she was not the first one to do so, but she certainly did popularize it after the "Fantasy" remix became such a huge hit). Her vocals inspired literally everybody that came out after her, with the whistle register becoming pretty much associated with her. Unlike for example Whitney, she also wrote and produced all of her songs, certainly something to consider too. She created the biggest modern Christmas hit, which literally returns to the top every single year. Every time people try to claim she's "over", she makes a successful comeback. Over 3 decades later, her songs continue to surge in popularity and top the charts ("It's a Wrap" just went viral on TikTok, despite never even being a hit before). Is that seriously not enough?

And it is true that Mariah is not a rock artist but are we really going to act like Dolly Parton, Eminem, Whitney Houston, Madonna or Lionel Richie are rock artists? They are not! But they are super successful in their own genres. If rappers or country acts deserve their flowers, why wouldn't pop/R&B divas receive the same recognition? The Hall of Fame is not limited to rock music anymore, the name of the hall should've been changed years ago in my opinion because it's not what it used to be.

Posted by Marinette on Friday, 02/3/2023 @ 13:20pm

You are spot on about Mariah. I hope that if she is ever inducted, it will be before she leaves this earth. It's sad that the industry seems to have some kind of vendetta against her. With her influence on many artists, her catalog, songwriting, producing and not to mention vocals skills, it should be a no brainer that she be inducted. It makes me wonder what do they (The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee) really consider when making their decisions on nominees and inductees.

Posted by Wannie on Friday, 02/3/2023 @ 19:19pm

You'd think making the most iconic (and annoying) Christmas song ever that literally recharts on the Billboard Hot 100 every year would keep Mariah Carey open in the eyes of the voters, but I guess not.

Another head scratcher when you consider the chart and superstar status she had for a good 10 year period. When she hit big, it was the kind of thing that would define a decade. Also musically probably one of the more adventurous and influential pop divas of the last 30 years.

I think you'd have an easier time arguing her as an FYE than an outright snub. Maybe she's such a big enough name on her own that the Hall might be saving her for a lighter year down the line? There's no other explanation, especially with post-80s pop music being viewed much more favorable by the Hall now.

Posted by Jagger on Thursday, 02/9/2023 @ 08:41am

Since I'm on one right now, I'll just drop this quote from Wikipedia:

"Carey is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with over 220 million records sold worldwide. She was ranked as the fifth greatest singer of all time by Rolling Stone in 2023 and placed second in VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music. She holds the record for the most Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles by a solo artist, a female songwriter, and a female producer.

Carey is the highest-certified female artist in the United States and 10th overall, with 74 million certified album units. In 2008, she was named one of Time's annual 100 most influential artists and entertainers in the world. Billboard named her the "top-charting female solo artist", based on both album and song chart success in 2019.

Carey has won 5 Grammy Awards, 19 World Music Awards, 10 American Music Awards, 15 Billboard Music Awards[9] and eight Guinness World Records. An inductee into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, she is credited for inspiring multiple generations of pop and R&B artists, and for merging hip hop with pop music through her crossover collaborations."

If someone described to you all of those accolades *before* telling you the artist name you'd assume they were not only a Hall of Famer, but a first-year inductee. I know record sales aren't everything, but the sheer cultural presence she had makes all the question on her own. Her discography and work compares pretty favorably with many other Hall of Famers. I am gobsmacked at this.

Posted by Jagger on Thursday, 02/9/2023 @ 08:51am

It's because boomer critics didn't like her when she was current. I don't believe Robert Christgau was ever on the Nominating Committee but he hung out in the same social circles with most of the critics on it, and look at how he reviewed her:

https://robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?name=mariah+carey

Critics of that era tended to hate anything that could be seen as adult contemporary, which they considered to be watered-down pablum so they didn't consider Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey to be "real" R&B. That's also the reason the Carpenters aren't in... they were respected by artists but had too much critical disrespect to be seen as artists by the critical set and it seems to me critical acclaim usually matters more than influence on other artists in terms of getting a nomination (at least for artists who are relatively new in their eligibility... admittedly, Sheryl Crow appears to be a weird exception here but I think that nomination is roughly analogous to the earlier Dave Matthews nomination and she'll be one-and-done for a while too... I don't think she's making it.) The artists that are influenced by someone usually won't be inducted so usually it comes down to how much respect you had amongst the old guard and she didn't have a lot. It probably doesn't help that people now think of her Christmas song first. So artists who have more critical acclaim than they actually have influence (like Guns 'N Roses and Foo Fighters) get in sooner than they should and I imagine others like Weezer will join that category shortly. However, there is one caveat here: you apparently need some baseline level of commercial success in America and it is a pretty huge one. Basically it seems like you rarely get a nomination if you're an '80s/'90s artist unless you have (at least) a 3x platinum album and a lot of critical love. Sometimes an artist who is so critically adored (Beck, ATCQ) can get by with a little less commercial success or sometimes an industry insider will (Foo Fighters), but if the old boomer rock critics see you as light, you won't get on quickly.

I do think all this is stupid and I acknowledge that younger critics have embraced Carey and now on these more inclusive lists she often does very well. I also acknowledge that she did far more outside adult contemporary than even Houston did and I would say it's harder to pigeon-hole her as an AC artist in the same way Houston was. But that's probably because Carey is more of an icon to younger people than she is to older people who tended to dismiss her. Which seems to put her firmly in the camp along with the '70s/'80s artists who fit that similar mold like ABBA, Journey, Duran Duran, George Michael right now, and so on, so she might have to wait 10-15 years even if she shouldn't.

I honestly think in general the problem post-'70s R&B is facing is that critics generally didn't like it due to the pop production values. Do I think it's racism/sexism? Not really because they also would have sneered at white male pop artists who used similar production values for the most part as they did with Hall & Oates. I do think it's rockism and the cult of authenticity - artists have more respect with that crowd if they write their own songs without co-writers (I mean that sort of critic hated when artists like Aerosmith had outside co-writers too) and play their own instruments. Having said that, Carey did write her own songs even if she usually had co-writers so I do think all of this stupid. And I sort of thought the announcement that she had recorded an alternative album at the same time as Daydream might have actually increased her Rock Hall cred. Even though it's a minor album, it would seem to prove her versatility further, which should be a good thing.

Even though the Grammy Awards are even stupider than commercial success as a metric, it's telling that for all the commercial success she's had that she only has five Grammys, which is not a lot for an artist as commercially huge as she was, and I think a lot of that is for the same reason: she was just critically disrespected.

Posted by Sean on Thursday, 02/9/2023 @ 12:21pm

Sean this is a fantastic write-up and I agree 100% with it. You're right that what's going on here is more rockist than racist, but man, either just shows the lack of imagination going on with the nominating committee.

Posted by Jagger on Thursday, 02/9/2023 @ 13:04pm

Mariah checks every box when it comes to making it in. She has influence, longevity, commercial success, and yes even critical acclaim (particularly in recent years).

Re: her lack of success at the Grammys. She just had bad timing. If Daydream were released now it would sweep. Back then, she was up against Jagged Little Pill and critics of that era were more prone to disliking the type of material she put out. Her Grammy total is actually on par with her contemporaries: Janet has 5, Madonna has 7, Whitney has 6, Celine has 5.

Mariah's most critically acclaimed album was released in 2018 with Caution. She's making best-of lists regularly these days and has THE Christmas hit, which puts her in a unique position as it gives her an annual relevancy most no one else has.

I think she'll make it in eventually. She's kind of next in line when it comes to the big divas now that Whitney and Janet have made it in.

Posted by D on Thursday, 04/20/2023 @ 23:52pm

I think it's obvious at this point that Mariah is blacklisted by the committee members and will not be receiving a RRHOF induction. To say that she has never been nominated, it's clear that she is blacklisted. When you have artists in their first year of eligibility get inducted, she has been such a big part of the music industry for a while now. With the songwriting, producing, singing, influencing, trailblazing, musicianship etc., she is a legend and is well-deserving of an induction.

Posted by Wannie on Friday, 09/22/2023 @ 15:54pm

I think with this year's nominations for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, the one I agree with the most is Mariah Carey. She had more #1 hit songs than anybody except the Beatles and Elvis. She should get inducted.

Posted by Brian Schonour on Saturday, 02/10/2024 @ 21:54pm

Mariah Carey is # 9 in total votes on Future Rock Legends. She's not in the Top 10 in Yes votes, but she's # 6 in No votes. She's the only 2024 nominee for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on any of the Top 10 lists on Future Rock Legends. If inducted this year, she will be the only artist Future Rock Legends voters got right this year. Her induction will make way for a new artist to join the Top 10 in voting on Future Rock Legends.

Mariah Carey deserves it because she is the Queen of Goddess. She sold 320m albums and singles WW. She wrote all her songs and co-produce her hits. She ruled the 90s and 2000s until she score her 19th #1 classic Christmas hit single "All I Want For Christmas is You." 5 years ago in 2019. It will be 30 years since she release her smash Christmas hit. She got inducted to Songwriters Hall of Fame two years ago. She is the Queen of Music. She did Pop, R&B, Gospel, Hip-Hop, and Dance and Rock. Mariah Carey is Music.

I was surprised that Mariah Carey won't be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this year. However I think at some point she will get inducted since she had more #1 hits than anybody except the Beatles and Elvis Presley. At least she was nominated. Even one nomination is better than none.
