Droid, you hit the nail right on the head - Mariah's songs work because they are written for her multi-octave range. Everyone else who tries her stuff pales by comparison. The girls, being female, got the worse comparison last night because they aren't in her league. The guys sort of got the pass because - well - these songs were written for and sung by a woman so hearing a man's take is refreshing and different.

They should have done with Mariah what they did with Gwen Stefani last season - either do her songs or her favorite songs. That opens it up a bit.
