Because why choose a Mariah cover when you can choose a Mariah penned hit with a Mariah certified melody? Makes no sense

I think sensible Lambs can acknowledge that covers are…not necessarily Mariah’s best work. Right, @Reverie?

Except for Without You! That’s her best cover and it got beat lol

proud of AAF for their iconic cover of one of MJ’s best songs for making it this far!

 

too bad ATRL does not have any respect for alt rock and 90s/2000s rock. Or rock in general lol.

 

anyways…a fairly east bracket although Killing Me Softly is pretty iconic too.

Yes, because it's a better song. As someone who saw Glitter in theaters, I really don't need prove my Mariah fandom to you.

I love Nancy Sinatra (even before I liked Mariah!), but I'll Be There is the rightful winner. A fan-demanded, live #1 song? Legend tingz.

Oh wow, did you stay for the whole thing? Did you go with a friend, was it embarrassing or did you have a great time?

You're in the top 1% of MC fans for this alone

I was in 6th grade and my best friend's mom took us. Then we went to Tower Records and I bought the soundtrack, so clearly I loved it!

"I'll Be There" is at least pretty. But I can't stand the songs that are just about vocal acrobatics instead of the emotion.

And I and many others find it to be a very emotive song, particularly in her vocal delivery.

 

The stating opinions as fact zzz

I was referring to other songs, not "I'll Be There." But you really shouldn't take offense to people having different Mariah preferences than you.

 

[Mr. Duff]

I cannot at Johnny Cash’s Hurt and Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah both losing. Both classics, ATRL really hates men huh.

 

Now Chris Stapleton may be eliminated too  

Anyway my votes ths round:

It’s My Life

Tennessee Whiskey

Killing Me Softly

I’ll Be There
