 This CD is wonderful yet I don't understand why they released it AND a greatest hits with 95% of the same material. ??? November 18, 2007
These songs are golden, especially My All, Sweetheart, Whenever You Call, Honey, I Still Believe, Always Be My Baby, One Sweet Day, Hero, Fantasy, Vision of Love (2nd best), Dreamlover (favorite song ever), I'll Be There (3rd best song here) and Emotions.
Mariah is in a category of Her own and I wish her new album will be worth a 4/5 star rating (at least) =^).
Good Luck, Boo.

Mariah Medley June 13, 2007
This is a good Mariah compilation. Solid mix of dance and R & B music, with pop attibutes at times and a little rap thrown in other times. Showcase of Mariah's stuff up to that time. Notable songs:
Sweetheart - good bounce to it, an airy tune
Honey - fun and lively, good groove
Fantasy - fun tune from mid-90s that makes the listener want to dance around. Good beat. Showcases Mariah's soprano
Dreamlover
Emotions - very good showcase of Mariah's vocal range and the power of her voice. Funky piano in there.
Someday - Mariah's first "big one" from 1990 I think. Great tune, infectious pop with a hard edge. Mariah's powerful voice with its big range was already on display in her early 20s.

Simply put this CD is missing anytime you need a friend and without you.

This 1998 album was the last Mariah came out with before she stopped just flirting with and went full-speed into hip-pop, starting with 1999s "Rainbow" and going to last year's "The Emancipation of Mimi." Now, don't get me wrong, the woman has had a few good singles in this new hip-pop era of hers'; in fact I like all 4 of the big singles from "Mimi." However, the new output pales next to the fantastic POP songs on "#1s."
The album shows how good she was...huge ground-breaking ballads like "Love Takes Time" and "Hero," makes-me-want-to-cut-a-rug dance tracks like "Emotions" and "Someday." Plus her specialty, fabulous mid-tempo gems like "Always Be My Baby" and "Dreamlover." And who could forget one of the most popular songs of all time, "One Sweet Day" with Boyz II Men. The single spent 16 freaking weeks at #1 on the Hot 100, more than any other song ever! Plus, this album shows how good she was when she just flirted with hip-hop, on the 2 great cuts "Fantasy" (although not this tacky version with ODB, but the original album version) and "Honey."
There are so many good songs missing that didn't make #1, so get "Greatest Hits" for those. In fact, just get "Greatest Hits" because it includes almost everything on here plus good stuff like "Can't Let Go" "Make It Happen" "Without You" "Anytime You Need a Friend" the aforementioned "Fantasy" original version and "Butterfly." I am disappointed because neither "#1s" or "Greatest Hits" has "Breakdown" with Bone-Thugz on it, one of my faves of Mariah's.
I wish Mariah would lose some of the "Hip" and gain back some of the "Pop" so she could make music as good as this again. This disc is as good as R&B/pop gets.
A Diva she maybe... April 13, 2006

but she's earned the right. This CD is a must have for all MC fans. Mariah has had an amazing career, despite her brief lapse a few years back, but everyone needs a little break now and then and I'm sure the whole situation was blown out of proportion. Actress she may not be, but this gal can sang. Highly Recommended.
