Better vocalist is not a synonym for best singer. Singing is just not only about how much range of vocals one have, but also how they put that skill to use. It also differs greatly from what kind of genre the person sings. Sometimes just how the voice sounds is enough to make a singer incredibly enjoyable for crowds. There are also singers who don't have those incredibly Mariah range skills but they know how to add very unique elements to their voice/vocals that Mariah doesn't, and make their songs very entertaining. While Mariah has incredible skills with her voice, many of her songs are fillers or boring crap (imo, which makes this an opinion since a die hard mariah fan would probably say she has no fillers or boring crap in her discography), despite she having "amazing vocal skills". Plus, I know people who get irritated by divaish vocals, and prefer rougher vocals. Also, is it me or is there any reason why mariah only stick to slower Rnb/Hip-hop/ and ballad stuff with some upbeat pop tracks? I mean, she'd robably fail to entertain people who love rock or other generes in which rougher and more aggressive ocals are needed. So that parameter in my opinion is entirely subjective.
Enjoying music is subjective. Our auditory systems is directly linked to our limbic system, which is the part of the brain responsible for past experiences, memory and emotions. The way I perceive music is probably a little different from the way you perceive music. That's why there's so much variety in people's tastes over music and musicians and that's why we see some people here saying ayu is the best singer in the world to them while others will thoroughly disagree.
