Disco de Mariah Carey: “The Emancipation Of Mimi: Platinum Edition”

This is an excellent album! I have never bought a Mariah album before, but this was well worth the money. This album is one of the rare ones that can be listened to straight thru from beginning to end. It presents a good variety of songs from "party-mood" (Like That), to "reflective" (We belong Together), to "spiritually-conscious" (Fly Like a Bird).

This is great cd. All the songs are great you can either get upi and dance or chill with your boo or just have a great time with your girls.

I am not a fan of Mariah, but when I heard the the first single from this cd, I thought let's go get this. I bought it, got it home and listen. This to me is her very best cd ever!!!! I mean Mariah would release a single that I liked, but nothing that would get me to purchase a cd. This is totaly different. I'm saying the lyrics,the music, and the collaborations, everything about this cd says good work. This is just a all round great cd. This is comming from someone who is not a fan of Mariah Carey. That is saying a lot!!!!

I purchased this one a few years ago when it was first released and fell in love with it! It has a great mix of songs from club bangers to some Classic Mariah ballads. Of course WE BELONG TOGETHER was great & a timeless song no one could ever forget! Other standout tracks are ONE AND ONLY, I WISH YOU KNEW, MINE AGAIN, STAY THE NIGHT, JOY RIDE...and of course DONT FORGET ABOUT US was great. I highly recommend this one to anyone who does not already have it, it's hott!

A great album by Mariah but to get value for money purchase the version with the bonus DVD.....

1. It's Like That - The first single of the CD, It's a classic RnB sound, I couldnt believe it was Maraih singing when I 1st heard it on the radio! It's one of the best track on the album 8/10

2. We Belong Together - This is the 2nd single, and it is a beauty. Its a beautful ballad, the best track on the album 10/10

3. Shake It Off - A mid-temp song, sounds like the type of song that Beyonce/Destiny's Child would sing. The hook is very catchy 7/10

4. Mine Again -This is a ballad, sounds like a song that she has done in the past, the vocals are great, its one of the better track 8/10

5. Say Somethin' featuring Snoop Dogg - Another RnB track, sounds a bit like a Justin Timberlake track, but it has the Mariah Carey flavour 2 it! 6/10

6. Stay The Night - A well sung song with good vocal range. It has a great chorus 7/10

7. Get Your Number featuring Jermaine Dupri - This is one of the best tracks, the hook sung by Jermaine Dupri makes this track hot. 8/10

8. One And Only featuring Twista - This SHOULD be the next single, its hot hot hot. The 2nd verse sounds like an old Destiny's Child hook.....I luv this song! 9/10

9. Circles - Another ballad, does sound a bit like "Stay The Night" and "Mine Again" 6.5/10

10. Your Girl - This song takes some getting into....But now I luv it! Moving more into the pop-ish sound 7/10

11. I Wish You Knew - Another great song. Sounds like a song from the early 90's.....I like the way Maraih interacts with the audience 8/10

12. To The Floor featuring Nelly - This track is a club track. Sounds a bit like a Justin's track "Like I Love You" 6/10

13. Joy Ride - Another ballad, sung softly....6/10

14. Fly Like A Bird - A gospel track with Mariah hitting those wonderful high notes. 7/10

15. Don't Forget About Us - The new single, its a tender track, the film clip isnt much but I still luv it! 8/10

16. Makin' It Last All Night (What It Do) - This is a catchy track feat Jermaine Dupri, the lyrics are hot, very much an RnB track 8/10

17. So Lonely (One & Only Part II) - The 2nd part of One & Only...Its a great song but I think it could have been better if Twista didnt sing as much, it has that Destiny's Child fast pace singing style like the "One & Only" 8/10

18. We Belong Together Remix featuring Jadakiss and Styles P - This is the best remix Ive heard in years...its a fast pace remake and it doesnt make the track sound so sad! It's a fun version.....10/10
