I love both songs, but I have to say Hero simply because it has a healing effect on me.

I love Janet Jackson's "Again" but Mariah Carey's "Hero" means so much more on a personal level. It's a universal record. Its lyrics are relatable and in the world we live in, we need positive messages. To me, the way she reminds us that the strength we need to continue comes from ourselves is quite powerful.

Both are good, but "Hero" is just transcendent.

Again because Hero is overplayed. Also, Again highlights Janet's soft smooth vocals.

Again. Hero sounds so cheesy standing next to it.

Again. By a lot.
Hero is one of Mariah's weaker singles IMO.

Definitely "Again." Neither are my favorite singles by either artist, but there's a sweetness to "Again" that I really love. "Hero" is a song I enjoy if I'm going through Mariah's catalogue, but I never seek it out. I'm also partial to '90s Janet, whereas I'm much more interested in Mariah's output post-Music Box.

I've never liked "Again" that much even though I stan Janet to the ends of the earth. So my vote goes to "Hero"
