Stop hating people, of course it wasn't as good as the original. Back in the 90s, Mariah was one of the best singers of all time, and also Alex has a different tone so of course it's not going to stack up to the original. Also people, remember that this song was written and produced for Mimi, it's her song, so obviously she'd be able to sing it better. If you gave Mimi Bad Boys to sing, it wouldn't sound as good as Alex singing it.
