Mariah Carey Music:

Editorial Review:
These days she's fodder for tabloid writers and late-night comics, but way back in the '90s Mariah Carey ruled the charts. This two-disc collection offers up evidence why, for better or worse, Mariah's five-octave, pop/R&B stylings set the diva standard. Greatest Hits culls its offerings from Carey's five albums on Sony (she is now signed to Virgin), and you get all the facets of her platinum-plus sound. From the soulful smolder of her 1990 debut "Vision of Love" (still one of her best tracks) to the coyer-than-thou duet with Jay Z ("Heartbreaker"), Carey thrills, trills, and hits notes that only canines comprehend. Fans will gobble this collection up, but inclusion of some of Carey's more adventuresome remixes (e.g. the Puffy-produced "Fantasy," featuring ODB) might have made this package more noteworthy. --Amy Linden

Absolutely GREAT,quality music featuring the MOST"touching",heart-rending song EVER!!
2009-10-07 - This is a simply wonderful collection of"classy"smut-free love and positive,inspiring songs by R&Bs' most underrated diva of all time..The album is jump-started with the beautiful,thought-provoking:"Vision of Love"immediately backed up by the exceptional songs:"Love Takes Time" and"Someday"next in line is the up-beat"feel-good"hit"Emotions"then comes the emotionally staggering:"I Can't Let Go"which has GOT to be THE greatest song about heart-break EVER made,with powerful lyrics such as:"I am"LOST",dying to UNDERSTAND!!" "Here I am STILL"holding on",I can't"ACCEPT" my WORLD is"gone". "Just CAST aside,you don't even know I'm ALIVE,you just walk on BY,don't care to SEE me cry!!" "Didn't I cherish you right,don't you KNOW,you were my LIFE?!?" "You're all I KNOW,I CAN'T let go!!" "Do you even REALIZE,the sorrow I have inside,EVERY day of my life?!?" "Do you know the WAY it feels when all you have just DIES?!?" "I try and TRY,to deny that I need you,yet STILL you REMAIN on my mind!!" These demonstrative lyrics hit me right in the heart,since empathizing with them is easy,from having"been there"a few times in my younger days..."I Don't Wanna Cry"is yet another great"easy-to-relate-to"ballad by Mariah.."Hero "is a very nice"up-lifting"gem of a song that I never tire of hearing...Mariah ends this album with a nuclear-level"BANG"as she and Luther Vandross collaborate to perform the absolute BEST singing of"Endless Love"to date!!This is an an all-together FANTASTIC collection of Mariahs' astonishing timeless creations!!!
