Mariah: "No problem, girlfriend. And since it's for an animated biblical epic, let's find a ballad so insipid it won't offend anyone of any religious persuasion."

Whitney and Mariah: "As long as we get individual verses--and you crank it up for the finale so we can overemote at each other to make damn sure everyone knows the song is inspiring!"
Babyface: "You go, girls!"
Grade: C-
