    Product Description
    This has the best collection of songs

    Amazon.com
    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

    5 out of 5 stars Mariah is a shining star   December 28, 2001
    Heather (Brick, NJ)
    10 out of 11 found this review helpful

    Mariah's Greatest Hits. Although, her latest albums "Glitter" and "Rainbow" are good I miss the classic Angelic ballads from her earlier work. I am dissappointed that Glitter didn't do as well as anticipated, and in fact, I don't really understand because overall it is a good album & the ballads are beautiful. However, I think all the rap/hip-hop in her most recent music is not benefiting her success, & instead it is aiding her in loosing her momentum. No matter what I will always love Mariah & her music, but she has to cool it with the rap sh... Some of it is okay, but enough is enough. The beauty in her songs & emotion is lost with the piercing/& sometimes annoying rap background vocals. Some of it just doesn't fit. However, in the song "Honey", the rap background is acceptable because it's funky, it "fits", & it's not overplayed. Ever since her music has been altered with hip-hop she seems to have lost the significance in her sound. Her song bird & Angelic voice is too beautiful, emotional, and meaningful to add the annoying repetative "hip-hop" nuisance. The songs story line & emotion is lost behind to much of the hip-hop. I must point out that I like how she has experimented with different sounds; such as, funk, dance, & pop - but the hip-hop/rap is becoming too much. Mariah - I still love you & you will always remain a singing sensation, but we want to hear more of your beautiful Angelic voice like in "Never to Far". Aside from all this, you are still a shining star in my book and I will always be a #1 fan. Furthermore, I respect the fact that Mariah does alot for charity & not only does she have the voice of an Angel, but also the heart of an Angel.


    5 out of 5 stars Mariah Carey Surpasses Greatness   January 13, 2002

    First of all, I just want to say that people should review this product based on its content rather than Mariah's personal life. Anyways, this cd is in fact Mariah's greatest hits from her 10 years (1990-2000) with Columbia/Sony Records. Cd #1 is taken from "Mariah Carey" to "Daydream". Cd #1 contains some of Mariah's earlier hits such as "Vision Of Love", "Emotions" and "Dreamlover". This disc is great for everyone who loves to listen to ballads, since Mariah's earlier work is comprised mostly of ballads. Cd #2 contains Mariah's works from "Daydream" up to "Rainbow". Disc 2 is my personal favorite because it contains more upbeat songs than disc 1, such as "Honey", "Heartbreaker" and "Always Be My Baby". This disc also contains some of Mariah's strongest ballads like "One Sweet Day" a duet with Boyz II Men, "I Still Believe" and "Can't Take That Away". To sum it all up this greatest hits package has everything a music lover could ever want. It is a great cd for anyone who has just become a recent Mariah Carey fan since it spans her 10 years in the music industry. As for Mariah fanatics, this cd is a definate must have to add to your collection. In addition to "Greatest Hits" I would recommend Mariah's new cd "Glitter" which is also a must have for anyone! Mariah is truly a gifted singer/song writer/producer and people should focus on that rather than her personal life, the clothes she wears and who she is hanging out with. What matters most is the music and Mariah is definately one of the best singers in the world, who desevers more recognition and respect than she has received.

    Mariah Carey is perhaps one of the most beautiful creatures God has ever created. Her sweet sexy voice is so pure and beautiful. The music on this album is for the true romantic.

    The first CD is more intense yet still has some very romantic songs, while the second is much deeper and emotional overall.

    "Butterfly" is still my favorite song because it speaks of how we are all individual souls that cannot be possessed. It always creates such beautiful images of a summer day and of the freedom to love without possessing. "My All" is highly emotional and one of the most evocative songs about longing I have ever heard.

    "I'm thinking of you
    In my sleepless solitude tonight
    If its wrong to love you
    Then my heart just won't let me be right
    Cause I'm drowned in you..."

    I saw her interviewed once when she was talking about helping children find families and I just thought what a beautiful soul she must be. The inner qualities she possesses seem to come out in her music.

    I hope that no matter where life takes her, that she will always find enough unconditional love. It is the soul's deepest desire.

    Mariah's voice is just amazing! If you buy only one of her albums, this one would be my recommendation. I would have
    been happy without the bonus track.

    5 out of 5 stars 'Greatest' Covers Carey's Peak   December 13, 2001
    Chris S. (atlanta, ga United States)
    8 out of 9 found this review helpful

    While never accused of being a particularly meaningful song interpreter, Mariah Carey has nonethelesss produced some of the best pop of the last decade, the majority of which is presented here in this very generous twenty-eight song compilation. While her career is seemingly going even further south thanks to her unjustly criticized GLITTER album(and the accompanying flop of a movie), this is a good reminder of why, at her peak, few could come close to Carey's track record. While she was constantly prone to adult contemporary sap('I Don't Wanna Cry', the horrifically maudlin 'My All'--one of her worst records ever), she also produced a number of first-rate singles('Vision Of Love', 'Fantasy', 'Emotions'). Sixteen of the tracks are carry-overs from her previous 1'S collection(rendering that set pointless), along with tracks from RAINBOW, as well as a completely unnecessary remix of her holiday track 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'. Additionally, the set includes several of Carey's non-commercial singles(the sterling 'Forever', 'Butterfly'), as well as one of her best, most fully realized songs ever('Underneath the Stars', which was inexplicably never released). One minor omission her is that of 'Breakdown', one of the few highlights from her otherwise dreary BUTTERFLY album. Otherwise, this is a great way to filter through the cream of Carey's Sony years.


    5 out of 5 stars beautiful voice and amazing artist!   December 6, 2001

    Mariah has a beautiful voice. She is always coming up with something new and interesting. And as for me and Mariah, we have our own "story"...

    I was in love with a cute and beautiful little girl when I was 12 years old (19 now). I remember she loved Mariah Carey, Infact she was mad at her (:)). It was that time when "Music Box" came out and I realy wanted to surprise her with something that she will never forget, something that both of us will never forget...I started to listen to Mariah and discovered why she liked her so much...The vocals, the words, the fealings, the depth, and the soul : "And when a hero comes along.." I bet it reminds you some of the most beautiful times of your life! I sang this song to her and I won a small kiss!! And nowadays I realized that it was something much more deep than a kiss. Mariah exposed me to the music world! I became a true music fan that loves, feels and appreciates good music.

    And as for this album, It's not everything about heros after all, Don't you think?? I have all mariah's albums after "Music Box" and everyone of them is unic and sparkling by itself, with each and every one of us's special song that was sang by miss Mariah : A 'Butterfly Diva'.

    I recommend this "Greatest Hits" tittle for every music fan. Atlist take your time and listen to it. You'll find out an artist who is very talented and artistic in is own special and different way just like you! And of course 'A Must' for Mariah's fans who're looking for a good Hit-Box-Collection by Mariah!
