On a TV talent show, contestants need to have songs that the audience/viewers will remember by the time the voting lines open. I'm already struggling to remember the melody of this song and I've just finished listening to it!”
Its a very well known song and a huge hit for Mariah so people will remember this unlike Che's yesterday which will bore everyone to death.
