 Mariah can't sing March 25, 2008
1 out of 10 found this review helpful
Why is this woman so popular? I've tried to like her but she just can't sing. She uses too much nasal, too much breath, and too much vibrato to cover up her weak voice.
 Finally a good "Greatest Hits" compilation March 1, 2008

This 2-CD set basically covers all Mariah's singles from her Columbia years (1990-2000) except for "There's got to be a way", "Never Forget You", "Open Arms", "Breakdown", "The Roof", "Crybaby", "Against All Odds" (it can found in International editions though), and the Merry Christmas singles (I guess they consider them "seasonal"). Unlike the #1's collection from 1999, this set includes top-ten singles and fan favorites that were not big hits.
There is no filler in this set, and this is a great introduction to Mariah's music for new fans or people that just one to own one release by Mariah Carey.
All songs are arranged in chronological order starting with the first Single "Vision of Love" from the debut album and ending with "Can't take that away" from the last album "Rainbow" on Columbia Records.
Although this is a perfect "greatest hits" collection (except for the bonus remix that does not do add any good), loyal fans expected a little more since they might own already all of the tracks featured this set. It is not uncommon these days to see "greatest hits" collections with bonus discs of unreleased material and DVD's full of video clips and archived material. Since Mariah is not just another musician, but one of the best-selling artists of all time, a more complete collection would have been more suited for her. Hopefully in the near future they will release an "ultimate" collection or real "anthology" with all of her singles and best songs and unreleased material on both CD and DVD.
Great Collection! February 23, 2008

I have always been a Mariah Carey fan since her debut album in 1990.She did slack a little bit after releasing her Glitter movie and album. But she has made some amazing pop and r&b songs. Still to this day, I really enjoy songs like "Dreamlover,Hero,Always Be My Baby,Love Takes Time,Fantasy,Honey,Heartbreaker",and so many more. If you have just recently discovered Mariah Carey's music, then this album is exactly what you want to see why she was one of the top leading artists of the 1990's. I am still stunned that this album charted at #52 and only achieved platinum status. I believe it was to 0 promotion for the album. Besides for that, it is well worth your purchase.
 Easy Listening January 7, 2008
This is a great collection of music even for those who are not Mariah Carey fans. Great buy and great addition to any music collection.

I don't like this CD overall, but it's not Mariah Carey, it's just the style of music. Her voice is beautiful so I love a couple of the songs, but overall, I can't listen to the music for very long.
