Mariah Carey: "I Want to Know What Love Is" (Foreigner Cover) (Stream)
After her pretty terrible "Obsessed" failed to morph into a hit, Mariah Carey's label has decided her cover of Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" will be its next attempt to make her upcoming album, Memoirs of a Perfect Angel, a mega-smash. Somehow, Mariah is able to make Foreigner's version seem restrained and tasteful, since she does her vocal histrionics over piano-led gospel chorus that suggests the closing credits of Sister Act 2. I can't imagine this will be an enormous hit, because who in their right mind would want another version of this song floating around? [via Idolator]

I'm sorry guys, but you can't beat the original - Foreigner just did this so well, Mariah just doesn't begin to cut it.

"After her pretty terrible "Obsessed" failed to morph into a hit,"

Obsessed did "morph" into a hit. It's number 7 this week on the Hot 100. You're showing your prejudice in citing facts that are not correct, so who cares what you write about the new single?
Craig Stanton
are u stupid, obsessed is now at #7 its not a failure. u are a failure for being a HATER. This Foreigner cover is amazing you are hating. She is awesome. She is the truth and u r a lie lol u r a mound she is Kilimanjaro, u r a puddle, she is the seven seas. You are a hole in the wall she is a corporation. lol

Obsessed didn't reach number one, but that's a standard of hit that only artists like Mariah Carey are held to. It reached the top 10 and still lingers on the charts. It just wasn't a smash. To be honest, I have always disliked Mariah Carey's persona, but her voice, her talent... wow. After 20 years, I'm ready to give her the credit that's due her. She's a legend that is as modern today as she was 20 years ago. She's never out of the loop.
