Annie Lennox Sings Mariah Carey's Praises.

Annie Lennox Looks on as Mariah Carey Sings in Washington

Who would have thought cool as a cucumber, tough, former Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox would be a fan of  the cleavage flaunting, Hello Kitty loving, woman child that is Mariah Carey? Not me for starters!



I'm a fan of both Annie Lennox and Mariah Carey but the two singers are at such opposite ends of the musical, personality, ideological, you-name-it, spectrum I would never have thought there would be any mutual appreciation between the singers. In fact when Mariah Carey performed O come all ye Faithful in Washington this month I was sure I saw disdain on Annie Lennox's face as she watched Mariah singing  (see the picture above). Well shame on me for coming to that assumption!

What with Annie Lennox being  a brilliant vocalist herself it was pretty naive of me to assume she wouldn't recognise and appreciate, even more so than those who aren't singers, vocal talent when she hears it! Even so, it was nice to hear a veteran singer giving Mariah some kudos for a change!

Scottish powerhouse Annie Lennox admits All I Want For Christmas Is You warbler Mariah Carey is still her favourite fellow songbird.

Despite having her own festive album A Christmas Cornucopia in the shops, Annie still loves hearing Mariah's biggest selling Christmas song.

The 55-year-old told Magic 105.4: "Whatever you feel about Mariah Carey, when you hear her sing, ohh my God! I've never heard a voice like that!"
