Facts

Linkin Park

• Originally called themselves "Hybrid Theory" but were forced to change the name due to trademark issues. However, Chester Bennington (Lead vocals) suggested the band to be named "Lincoln Park" as he drove past it to get home. However, the domain http://www.lincolnpark.com was taken and the band re-named themselves to "Linkin Park".
• Linkin Park's new album is set to be released in Spring 2006, due to some difficulties with the label. Mike Shinoda is also working on his hip-hop side project entitled "The Rising Tied" which will feature a variety of underground rap artists. It's set to be released November 22, 2005. Chester Bennington is also in the process of recording his album; the release date is yet to be announced.
• Their singles include "Faint", "Numb" and "Breaking The Habit".

Mariah Carey

• Mariah Carey's singing career was off to a high start with her first nine albums reaching 3x Platinum (The majority of those nine albums went over the 3x Platinum mark) and her debut album sold a whopping 9x Platinum. However, Mariah soon hit a 5 year slump as she released her album "Glitter" along with a corresponding movie named "Glitter". The album went Platinum and was heavily criticised. Her next albums, "Greatest Hits", "Charmbracelet" and "The Remixes" managed to go Platinum ("The Remixes" still uncertified), this caused Mariah to go into an emotion breakdown and in result, she decided to stay out of the public eye for a while. In 2005, Mariah Carey released "The Emancipation of Mimi" and it instantly went 3x Platinum, this was her first album with singles which stayed at the number one spot on the Billboard chart for over two months.
• Mariah Carey was voted as having the "Greatest Voice" in the year 2003 beating out Whitney Houston (#3), Christina Aguilera (#5) and Céline Dion (#9). She is said to be one of the most talented musicians in the industry today.
• Her singles include "It's Like That", "We Belong Together", and "Shake It Off".

[DM was on fire!]

Mariah-Chan. Linkin Park = too creepy *garbage flies* o_o

I'd still like to see Michael W. Smith or Andy Hunter. ^^

[Paul]

Mariah Carey = out this round.

[Kugetsu]

Definitely Linkin Park.

[MyleneFarmer]

I'd still like to see Michael W. Smith or Andy Hunter. ^^

But they won't get more than 3 or 4 votes. You, Medli, and if it's MWS, me as well. Unless he's up against someone better. At which point, my vote would be gone as well. ^_-

Anyway...Yay! Finally someone I've heard of, so I can vote for them. I've been refraining from voting a lot, because I can't stand Mariah Carey. But since most of her opponents appeared to be a type of music I dislike, I couldn't vote for them either. I rather like Linkin Park, though.

[Xerophyte]

Voted for Linkin Park.

I just know more of their songs than Mariahs songs, and I definitely like their style more. -.-;

[avvelenare]

I voted for Linkin Park. I'm not a big fan of theirs, but unlinke Mariah, my hand doesn't have an uncontrollable urge to change the channel whenever I hear them on the radio.

[Asthaloth]

Linkin park.
excellent music, great talent, dont get by on there looks.
Oh; And i chose to ignore their even numbered Albums.
Its like Trek films really...

Hybid theory rocked.
Reanimation was awful.
Meteora was amazing.
that one with Jay Z sucked.
Trek films indeed.

[Divine]

Eww... Linkin Park...

Mariah Carey =D.

[KiLRoY]

Voting for anything other than Mariah Carey, and at least i'm glad it's something like Linkin' Park, hopefully these guys can take her out.

[Twinkle]

Linkin Park. One of the best live bands today.

[matchbow]

Linkin Park is easily one of the best bands. They're really amazing

[Monique]

Linkin Park ( though I'm definately not a fan) has a few good songs, so my vote goes to them.

[Shifty]

Linkin Park.
I didn't really like Reanimation, but im still a fan.

[PTP]

In my opinion there is no comparison, Linkin Park all the way!
