Customer Reviews

Mariah at her best
I love this album. It's excellent if you want a collection of tracks that span her career, not necessarily the tracks that sold the most copies (although a lot of them are) but also the tracks were just as fantastic but didn't necessarily become number 1's.

My favourite track on the album is Without You and is in my opinion the best track Mariah has ever done. A lot of the tracks on the first CD follow in a similar vein, Vision of Love, Hero, Endless Love. CD1 is mostly the older power ballads.

The second CD is more RnB tinted pieces, still the power ballads such as 'One Sweet Day' (beautiful song) and 'My All' but also her more club orientated tracks such as Heartbreaker, Honey and Sweetheart.

I honestly think that anyone will enjoy this CD. Even my Dad loves 'Without You' and he ss ridiculously difficult to please. There really is something for everything and regardless of her mental state and personal life the one thing you can't take away from Mariah is the fact she is one of the best female vocalists of our generation. Plus if you really are embarrassed to buy her CD's isn't the internet the best and most anonymous way or purchasing?

The Voice, The Songs, The Legacy is all here
In 1990 Mariah appeared on the scene and brought to the music industry an artist who not only posseses and amazing voice but who can write the most perfect songs.

Mariah's debut single "Vision Of Love" has breathtaking vocals and is a very deep song, a US number one rightfully. "Love Takes Time" is a sad an beautifulk song with true emotion in her voice and was another US number one, "Someday" has very strong vocals and great lyrics, so perfect and yes it was another number one(US). "I Don't Wanna Cry" is another song from her debut album and is very classy and meaningful, it's so beautiful.

"Without You" is the best cover version in history, her voice is so amazing on this track and the song would sve been enough to earn a gold star. The ballads are where Mariah shines and this shows so well on the stunning "My All" which is so lingering and deep, "Hero" is simply outstanding and is my favourite song, the voice, the piano, the lyrics, it just blows you away, OUTSTANDING!

A few years into her career Mariah started to embrace hip hop music and got rappers to give her songs new life, it worked so well and saw her finally embrace who she is. "Honey" is a fantastic floor filler and is so funky with the sweet and strong vocals and a tasteful rap for flavour. "Heartbreaker" is phenomenal and is the best song to include rap elements ever in my opinion, Jay Z's voice suits so well with Mariah's and the rap is very smooth and cool. Also there is "Sweetheart" which gives out a good hip hop ibe.

The unforgettable "Dreamlover" is my second all time favourite song and i ever grow tired of it, her voice hits some beautiful high notes and even the simple backing singing has amazing musical life. The club friendly "Fantasy" is fabulous with vocals to set your heart on fire and send you to the dance floor, a Mariah classic and you must hear the remix sometime, fantastic. Mariah covered the Jackson Five classic "I'll Be There" with Trey Lorenz which is so beautiful and melts my heart. I love "Always Be My Baby", its fantastic and so uplifting, i can't get enough. The power ballad "One Sweet Day" with Boyz 2 Men is remarkable and is sung with such emotion.

The album tops Mariah "Number Ones" album easily because it includes what are genually her best songs and not just the number ones. "Underneath The Stars" and "Forever" were not massive hits but they are breathtaking songs.

This album is the story of the greatest career in history. Mariah puts her passion for music into all her songs and it creates somrthing that contributes massively to the essence of music and will be influencing many artists for years to come. A FANTASTIC ALBUM.

mariah carey greatest hits
i think this album is probably the best cd i have ever bought, that sums it up really, im not a huge mariah carey fan , or at least i was not until i bought this album, it features brilliant songs with some emotional tear jerkers such as hero and love takes time which i believe is the greatest love song ever , to upbeat songs such as honey and fantacy. i strongly recomend it to any one. i also recomend mariah carey's film GLITTER, although it has been widely panned, i think it was a bit harsh. the film is great with some great songs on it.
