...somebody else would've sung it? :) I wonder if pop radio would've opened their doors to some singers they're not playing anymore. For example:
Kelly Clarkson "Breakaway" but sung by Faith Hill.
Alicia Keys' "Fallin'" or "If I Ain't Got You" but sung by Mariah Carey.
What do you think? I think maybe a song "Alicia style" could've put Mariah's career back on track. But it's only guessing. You never know with radio these days....

if Mariah didnt whisper through the whole song then it would have done great for her.

Faith Hill would've flopped but Mariah would've had a huge hit with IIAGY

Neither would do well. What I do wonder is, what if "Breakaway" was the lead single of Avril's album? Would it have hit #1?

I don't think so. I think Kelly's vocal performance is what made this song a hit.

"Breakaway" is a great song and just right for Kelly's voice, and not for Avril's or Faith's voices.
Mariah Carey could do better with high quality songs like the ones you mentioned by Alicia Keys. Mariah has a great voice if she uses it right, but she often overdoes it with her breathiness and high-pitched screeches

Faith would've had a mediocre hit with Breakaway.
