Looks like a stripper, sings like an Angel... Mariah covers Foreigner


She Looks like a stripper, sings like an Angel,
And I bet you couldn't drown her if you tried!
Silicone singing sensation and perfume pusher...
yeah she's pretty old but she's still got it (Them).

Mariah Carey, after whoring the Auto-tune-non-music that is "Obsessed" has pushed out a polar opposite tune. A cover of "I want to know what love is," the 80's power ballad by Foreigner. I think this one is up to the listener to determine whether she does the song justice OR destroys a classic. I'm just glad to see/hear her use the pipes, reminds me of when she could really go! I also think this makes up for ... all that nonsense she's been spewing! (everyone knows EMINEM hit it!)

"I do not know if you remember the tale of the girl who saves the ship under mutiny by sitting on the powder barrel with her lighted torch and all the time knowing that it is empty? This has seemed to me a charming image of the women of my time. There they were, keeping the world in order by sitting on the mystery of life, and knowing themselves that there was no mystery."
