The original is MILES AND MILES and then a few kilometers better. Sorry. This sucks all the power out of the song. I'm not a Mariah hater but Lou Gramm gave this song epicness. Mariah falls short here.

Currently has 114 spins in Hot AC, according to Quick Cut. This would most likely make an official debut inside the Top 50 by Sunday. |

As I mentioned on the CHR version of this thread, this is one song I'm not looking forward to hearing.

This will probably be about as good as her cover of "Bringin' On The Heartbreak"!  Note the touch of sarcasm. |

In my humble opinion, Mariah Carey and Beyonce are on opposite career paths - when she was with Destiny's Child, I couldn't stand Ms. Knowles, but her recent work has her being promoted to 'tolerable'. In the case of Carey, up until about 1999 I would have described her as tolerable, but the last decade has been torture. Well, maybe not torture, but at least 'time to change the channel'.

Please explain how this relates to the topic. Because as far as I can tell, it's irrelevant and just a vehicle for you to slam Carey. If you haven't like her music in a decade, it begs the question, why click into a Mariah Carey thread? ??? |

You talked about Beyonce and Destiny's Child, and how you like them now, and have stopped liking MC or have "changed the channel." I fail to see how any of that relates to the topic. Sorry. |

Well, "I Want To Know What Love Is" is indicative of what is wrong with the Mariah Carey post-1997 or so. The point of my post is that this Foreigner cover is putrid, even by her standards. And I realize you're a fan of hers - nothing wrong with that, but I'm going to post what I think of her and her music. I don't see that I'm being in any way offensive. |

You are free to have whatever opinion of course. Putrid is rather harsh I'd say. What I took issue with was bringing Beyonce into the discussion- this thread has nothing to do with her. |

Unlike the CHR forum, most people in this section are relatively mature and able to disagree without resorting to fan wars and other such crap. There's nothing inherently wrong with bringing up other artists; here, the comparison between the two was simply being given to illustrate how two artists took opposite paths in his ability to enjoy their music from the 90s to the present, in an effort to flesh out the reason behind his negative opinion of this song. No need to attack when the comparison is being made for legit reasons, because, in this particular forum, (usually) just mentioning another artist's name isn't going to spark all kinds of hysterical, vitriolic, or irrelevant replies. |

I honestly have no idea how this is going to do. I can usually make a call one way or another, but this is really up in the air.
One one hand, the fall is a perfect time for Mariah to release a ballad. But since it's a cover, that throws a wrench into things.
Nobody around my station likes this one very much. It could have a future on AC, but our HotAC audience likely won't go for it.

It could have a future on AC, but our HotAC audience likely won't go for it. I think it's going to be one of those songs that gets moderately heavy rotation from the part of the panel that adds it, but does not get added by a large percentage of the panel. I think it'll get carried into the top 30 by the 30-40 stations that spin it, but then max out its rotation there without attracting significant interest from other markets. |
