Daydream Reviews:
Daydreamin is wat I do best!
2008-10-25 - This album really has some bittersweet memories. I love the year 1995 and this album is one of the reasons why. One Sweet Day, Always Be My Baby, and FANTASY are all memorable to me. It makes me think of my childhood. i really do miss the 90s. I definately recommend this album to any new fans. It's the best.

1. Fantasy-i love the sample of tom tom club. it brings really good memories especially the video. It shows a very happy Mariah having a good time. 5/5

2. Underneath The Stars-this song is really cute in a special way. It's about being on cloud nine. Something that we all have felt somewhere in our lifetime. 5/5

3. One Sweet Day-who doesn't know this song??? i hear this on radio alot. it's very bittersweet and meaningful. 5/5

4. Open Arms-i grew up hearing the Journey's version. Mariah's version is pretty good. 5/5

5. Always Be My Baby-yup, i do remember this video. these days, i think it's equivalent to "I Stay in Love". very junior high/high schoolish. 5/5

6. I Am Free-umm...it's okay. 3/5

7. When I Saw You-yea, i have experienced this. like the song said "i could not breathe". lol 5/5

8. Long Ago-yup, this 2. it's about a guy who doesn't display the same affections as before. i love the beat. 5/5

9. Melt Away-oh yea, there were times where i did "melt away" and it felt really good!!!! haha. 5/5

10. Forever-this song sounds kinda 50ish, but it's really cute. 5/5

11. Daydream(interlude)-alright 3/5

12. Looking In-the song sounds very melancholy and haunting as it describes a girl who feels trapped inside. 5/5





The Height Of Mariah Carey's Vocal Artistry
2008-08-14 - Unfortunately, shortly after this album, Carey began lowering herself to the standards of the popular music industry, and at that point, the focus was on sampling, beats and perfect sound.

In this album, the diva is an artist. Her phrasing, her sensitivity in expressing each phrase is masterful. Why, oh why, can't she return to this level?

Dreamy Music
2008-05-26 - Very good CD but I prefer the dance versions of Mariah music better. Sometimes her albums are a bit slow and I wish she would pick up the pace a bit. She is capable. I know she can do it. Anyway, Mariah is pretty awesome...I love her!!!!!

Feels like I'm dreaming, but I'm not sleeping
2008-04-20 - After Music Box was released a couple years earlier, it did not seem Mariah Carey could have anymore huge releases. But despite the fact that it seemed her career peaked at that point, she topped herself again, with this, one of her best albums.

1. Fantasy- A fabulous uptempo track that is easy to escape in. A

2. Underneath The Stars- A beautiful love song that is simple, yet sweet. Makes you feel like a young teenager in love. A

3. One Sweet Day- This song got played to death in its day, and while it is a nice song, and very moving, I think the overplaying has made it more skip-worthy than a lot of tracks on here. It still gets an A-

4. Open Arms- Most of Mariah's albums have a cover song on them, and this is the one for here. It's a nice song, and one I did not know about until I first heard it on here, so as far as I know, this is the definitive version. A

5. Always Be My Baby- Another great song that just makes you escape in its sweet lyrics and lovely melody. A

6. I Am Free- Not my favorite track on here, but it's nice. It's about being single and being happy. It's not bad, but very forgettable. B-

7. When I Saw You- Not single material, but a very beautiful and moving love song. B+

8. Long Ago- I'm not fond of this song, mostly because it isn't very catchy or have an interesting melody. Not unpleasant, but forgettable. C+

9. Melt Away- A pretty duet with Babyface, where he more or less sounds like background vocals, this is still a great song. This is a love song for adults, especially with lyrics like "Everytime I see your face I go off." A-

10. Forever- Hands down my favorite track on here. Definitely not a "we're in love and happy song," but more of a fondly remembering a former love song, this is a song that really gets to you emotionally. If you want proof that Mariah can emote, listen. A

11. Daydream Interlude (Fantasy Sweet Dub Mix)- Like most interludes, you can skip over this and it won't ruin the flow, but it is still pleasant. B

12. Looking In- Lyrically, this is probably the most introspective song on here, which in retospect sounds like she is foreshadowing her impending divorce and reinvention to R&B goddess, but it is a song that can speak to lots of people. A-

This was Mariah Carey's last full-fledged pop album before becoming more focused on experimenting with her music. Nothing wrong with that, since a fair share of them are great albums in their own way, but if you want straight up pop music without complications, this is her best album.

She's always been the "Total Package"
2007-06-22 - From the first time my ears heard her voice...i was in love with this talented diva like, American Musical Treasure. This is truly one of if not the best Mariah Carey Albums of all. I am a firm believer in the notion that some songs or artists should NOT be re-recorded...however Mariah does an excellant job of owning, even if only for this album, "Open Arms"...of course the original being from Steve Perry and Journey. There's Something about Mariah and the lyrics "Lying Beside Me"..."one Sweet Day" is a tear jerker for anyone who has ever had to say good~bye to a loved one...great song. "Always be My Baby" is a cute song for the lover in you..."Fantasy" is for the dancefloor with it's sample of "Genius Of Love" from the Tom Tom Club. Another personal fav' is "Melt Away". This is a beautiful woman "working it" with a voice that is another reason to believe in GOD because this voice could have only come from Heaven.
