here mariah treads a fine line between genius and tat. the film careers speedily over the brink but the cd sparkles.

this is supreme. and for a change cd2 is better than cd1. top banana.

amazing introspective album. sometimes gets a bit oprah self-loving but is quality. essential and beautiful.

the greatest disco record of all time. complete with anti-war song about kids playing in the sand. makes you feel good. you become the greatest dancer.

this is what people should do when they get a guitar. don't burst into tears like coldplay, make some chunky tunes!

just say 'oui'. dimitri from paris in loungey house extravaganza. worth it for 'candidate for love' alone.

hip-hop is perfect when it sounds like this. it would only be better if they remade summertime by jazzy jeff and the fresh prince on it.

much as i love kitsch crazy mariah this is her inspired masterpiece. have a gold medal for 'the roof', the best song ever recorded. artistic pinnacle in songwriting, vocals and outfits.

hurrah. music that everyone is allowed to like - even indie types with parkas.

this is incredible. hard to justify because of moesha, but mid-90s new swing was never bettered. outstanding.

i don't speak portuguese but never mind. brazilian music makes you feel lovely. no other word for it.

everybody loves wham! george should ring up the other one and make club tropicana part II.

secretly loved take that when my sister was a massive fan. never forget and relight my fire were superb.
