This was not we expected, but there are only so many thing you can do with such an epic drama-ballad. It’s slow an sentimental, so the concert type video would have done. But, this whole baseball stadium business is unnecessary. And the images of random people could have been diversified. We see the two gay boys from Oprah giving each other a look or two to make it kosher for TV. And the slo-mo does wonders, but not the dress. At any rate, the vocals are everything in this song and she brought it.

This awful.
Seriously.
Mariah Carey is known for making fantastic renditions and covers, and all of her previous attempts were grand, either as good as the original and in some cases completely better. But this song lacked all the passion and goosebumps the original by The Foreigners had. This is terrible.
And the video is a very weak weak weak attempt, that we all know she could have done something simpler and yet much better, the same thing with the actual song.
Her worst cover song ever (and I say it again, all the other songs she covered were fantastic)
