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

#1s Part II?? August 26, 2003 26 out of 36 found this review helpful
There is a big problem with the sequence of "hits" on this CD. First off, as many fans have noticed, this is basically the same songs and (almost) same order as her previous hits album "#1's" which is a shame... because this album could've been so much better. Because I already bought "#1's" I decided not to get it.My version would be somewhat like this. ** DISC ONE (SLOW SONGS) Vision of Love Hero Love Takes Time Anytime You Need A Friend Forever My All Butterfly Underneath The Stars Can't Take That Away I Don't Wanna Cry Without You Can't Let Go I Still Believe When You Believe One Sweet Day Thank God I Found You Never Too Far ** DISC 2 (FASTER SONGS) Someday There's Got To Be A Way Emotions (12" Club Mix) Fantasy (regular version) Honey All I Want For Christmas Is You (ORIGINAL VERSION!) Always Be My Baby HeartBreaker (original version) Loverboy Make It Happen BONUS TRACKS or BONUS DISC Heartbreaker (remix ft. Da Brat and Missy "Misdamenor" Elliot) Thank God I Found You ("Make It Last Forever" Remix) Honey (bad boy remix) Fantasy (Remix ft. ODB) Breakdown (Mo Thugs Remix... basically same version but extended raps) Loverboy (remix) Basically it could've been somewhere along the lines of Whitney's GH. Mariah has so many remixes she decided to make her own Remix album... so it wouldnt be as good if she had them on the 2nd disc. She could had it like first disc-slow songs and seocnd disc-fast songs. She could've included a bonus dvd too. She also could've partnered with Virgin (after all they DID give her a few mill to leave the label) and put some 'Glitter" songs on there for the fans. And of course bonus tracks which are basically remixes that got good airplay on the radio. Vote no or Yes but that's my opinion. I love Mariah and I think this GH collection could've been *SO* much better!
Dreamy Mood Music December 30, 2001 19 out of 24 found this review helpful
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.

I Hope She Sees the Error of Her Ways December 13, 2001 16 out of 21 found this review helpful
Mariah Carey was the biggest female songstress of the 90's. She had several hugely successful albums hit after hit (at least up until the "Butterfly" album.) This album is a great look back at her amazing career (although the first disk has most of the good stuff on it. Mariah worked for her success and her first album yielded 4 incredible hits (Vision of Love, Love Takes Time, Someday, and I Don't Wanna Cry) They were all huge on radio and commercially (all making it to #1) Mariah's 2nd album "Emotions" wasn't quite as successful as her first, but it was still a fantastic work churning out three of her best songs (Emotions, Can't Let Go (breathtaking), and Make It Happen) Yet again, all three were large on radio and commercially. Next came along her biggest acheivement yet "Music Box." Four fantastic singles followed (the 2 #1's "Dreamlover", "Hero", and the equally deserving "Anytime You Need A Friend" and "Without You." In '95, Mariah released yet another huge album "Daydream." "One Sweet Day" was one of the buggest songs in history and "Fantasy" and "Always Be My Baby" were also amazingly successful. "Forever" was also released off "Daydream" but never charted (which is beyond me cuz it's a fantastic song.)Now...here's where Mariah began to falter. '97 and "Butterfly." She began to go into the hip-hop scene and radio quickly turned its back on her. "Honey" and "My All" went to #1 but only due to commercial releases. They both received lukewarm airplay. "Butterfly" never even charted. in '99 "Rainbow" was released which provided some amazing songs, but they were overshadowed by the hip-hop (...). "Heartbreaker" and "TGIFY" went to #1, but yet again, they released barely any airplay and only managed to cuz of commercial releases.... Mariah...go back to the music that brought u onto the scene. Don't waste your time with music that doesn't show off your amazing talent.
Mariah Carey Surpasses Greatness January 13, 2002 14 out of 17 found this review helpful
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's Greatest Hits April 22, 2003 12 out of 15 found this review helpful
I "discovered" Mariah with her 14th #1 single, "Heartbreaker", in 1999. The only reason I'd never heard her before is that I was 10 and my mother didn't care for Mariah Carey's singing (still doesn't--she's crazy). I immediately bought "Rainbow" and was pleasantly surprised when I bought "#1's" at all of the material she has recorded. The CD collections of my sister and I now contain every album she has recorded to date, including duplicates of several. This album is an excellent collection, far better than "#1's", because many of Mariah's best songs did not go to the #1 position on the Hot 100 (although 15 did, giving her more #1 singles than any other woman, and, since the two who bested her--Elvis with 18 and the Beatles with 20--are no longer recording, she has a shot at the top spot). Among them are the cheesy but beautiful "Endless Love" cover and "Make it Happen", which I have never been able to listen to without saying "Wow". We are all familiar with her range, but this song is driven by her vocal power, which is amazing (and she was only 21 when this song was recorded!). This CD is an excellent CD, and it shows her awe-inducing career with Columbia Records. She was the most successful artist of the 90s, and "Greatest Hits" definitely proves why, but don't buy this CD if you don't like pop music. That's for the most part what it is, and it's just silly to buy a CD that you know you won't like and then complain that you don't like it. (Just had to say that.)
