Especially the mention of her "5 octave range" like it's something noone but her ever achieved, considering the biggest part comes from her headvoice, falsetto and whistle register, things usually NOT COUNTED WHEN TALKING ABOUT VOCAL RANGE, I stopped paying attention. I have over 4 octaves(C2-D6) counting headvoice and falsetto(not even counting whistle register since I never worked on gaining that) and I'm a crappy singer.
I read lots of crap on AHS but your post deserves a special mention.
You know why (most) Ayumi fans don't go running around calling CAROLS or Days masterpieces and Ayumi's voice the best in the universe? Because those things would be almost as delusional as some of the stuff you said about Mariah.
Mariah is a very good vocalist(she is not and will never be "the best" though) with mostly generic and formular but not neccessarily bad songs. She doesn't stand out in Pop for being either great or horrible, but for being bland and having a discography full of 3 or 4 song formulas? Definitely. So I stand by my point, bringing her up in a discussion about music getting flat is a very bad example since her whole career included one(?) re-invention and aside that the same song with slight changes 3 billion times.
Actually, she's quite similar to Lady Gaga in some ways looking at her career and music(not the genre itself but the way they stick to signature formula in their songs) just that Lady Gaga had her re-invention earlier and is a worse vocalist.
