I agree that Mariah's acting is no better now than it was in Glitter. I think she won over a few critics after Precious just b/c of the drastic alteration of her appearance (she became a plain Jane) and that role was otherwise easy with no challenge. I also agree with whover posted that they should replace her with someone who is a bit more colored if that is what the role is about. If she is pregnant I hope she takes a lot of time off so she can have a healthy baby.
