When is one thing not like the other? When Junior Cadougan tries to sound like Mariah Carey.
The Marquette junior did his best to butcher a “Name That Song” feature for the school (a player comes on the video board during a game, the crowd laughs, etc.) and played his part to perfection.
Listen here. Now, listen to the original. I doubt even Paula Abdul would be kind to Cadougan’s rendition of “Always Be My Baby”.
Bravo to Cadougan … for what’s sure to be a crowd favorite. Eamonn Brennan has more on the details and the teammates laughing during the singing:
According to Marquette spokesman Scott Kuykendall, the Golden Eagles filmed this year’s hits in a practice gym, where guard Jake Thomas and forward Jamil Wilson were on hand to witness Cadougan’s effort. … Kuykendall said that when Cadougan finished, the junior guard said he thought he had done pretty well. Apparently Wilson and Thomas’ laughter wasn’t enough of a hint.
Cadougan can’t sing like Mariah. But hey, who can? Besides, can Mariah do this?
