YES! I was sad at first that Mariah wasn't in it, but then I heard she was supposed to play Lex and I don't like that.
Her voice wouldn't have been as impactful as Angela's performance of the role. You can hear this especially during "Black Friday" and "Califor M.I.A." which are songs I don't think Mariah's voice would fit with, especially when she sings on the soundtrack.
Have you heard Mariah sing "La Dee Da Da Day" in the recording of the whole show vs. the soundtrack recording? It sounds much… sweeter and much more forced on the soundtrack. I don't doubt Mariah's acting, she could've pulled it off, but the rough-around-the-edges, possibly-a-criminal vocals of Angela are simply perfect for Lex.
anyway, that's my rant.

Yeah I think Angela's voice is really cool. Don't get me wrong, I love Mariah, but it would not have been the same (I didn't even know until just now that she was originally going to play Lex, but I don't like that). I think Mariah could have done a great job, but I also like Angela's vibe better for the character of Lex in general.

@Moxie group

yeah and rn Mariah is playing Regina George in Mean Girls and honestly she fits that role really well

She's in like the touring cast or the Chicago cast, right? Thats amazing for her honestly.

YES! Thank you. My friend and I were talking about this and she said Lex was a Mariah role and while I was watching the whole thing, I thought Mariah would be better for a character like Becky Barnes

i agree, Mariah would make a better Becky Barnes than Lex. she doesn’t have the right vibe,, her voice is more sweet and Lex is supposed to be rough around the edges like y’all said

@Moxie group

^^^^^^
Yesssss, totally
I think she would have looked a little too young and teenager-y, but she definitely has more of a Becky Barnes vibe than a Lex vibe

The BEST vocals of Lex come from Black Friday and I can't imagine Mariah singing the same way as Angela especially in my favorite parts of the song ("I don't want your half-baked sympathy, when did it save those in need?Still, I thought that angels did exist, but now I hope they plan to end it quick. Cuz friday is black for me, only my ashes will see the sea…" and "Maybe I'm wrong, she can go on her own. Cuz I'm leaving" and the last run of the chorus is so powerful.) Angela's voice just fits for it

I got to be honest, at first I didn't like Angela's vocals and I still prefer Mariah's style, but Angela 100% makes a great Lex. Her vocals fit the character and songs really well and her entire energy of depressed AP kid is perfect. Also what do you guys think of Kendall as Hannah? (I'd die for her)

During the last song song, she sounds so young. She is too precious and they are so sweet towards each other, I would love to have a relationship like that
