How do the judges on American Idol feel when one of the contestants sings one of their hits songs?

Idol judge Mariah Carey, 42, has listened to contestants sing her hit singles “My All,” “Hero” and “We Belong Together” this season, and she says if someone comes up with a really nice rendition, she loves it. “A couple of years back, David Cook sang ‘Always Be My Baby’ and he did a great [acoustic] twist on it,” she recalls. “I love to see when people get creative because you see the artist within them.”
