Greatest Hits»rank: 7281par: Mariah Carey
Chroniques et points de vue:From :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 ... |

Daydream»rank: 12591par: Mariah Carey
Chroniques et points de vue:From :'Fantasy' provides the only real transcendent chapter on this album. Reinterpreting Tom Tom Club's 'Genius of Love' with a percolating dance beat, the single emphasizes everything that makes Mariah Carey great. Her voice swoops, squeals, and careens over the seductive rhythm, while the words capture just the right amount of vulnerability and determination. Unfortunately, the thrill is short-lived, as the multiplatinum singer soon falls back into typical adult-contemporary schlock and pointless vocal gymnastics, particularly on 'Melt ... |

Merry Christmas»rank: 6922par: Mariah Carey
Chroniques et points de vue:From :She's been hailed for her multi-octave vocal range--a tool that sometimes detracts from her pop recordings, but actually works quite beautifully in the context of this charming holiday collection. Fans will surely approve of Carey's renditions of slinky secular songs like 'Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)' and a nicely subdued 'All l Want for Christmas ls You.' But where she really surprises is in her unadorned delivery of a passel of traditional carols, highlighted by 'Silent ... |

Music Box»rank: 13387par: Mariah Carey
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Linda Ronstadt was America's sweetheart of the '70s, because she was able to combine a pretty face, a pretty voice and a safe personality. Her songs might be full of big notes and high emotions, but they satisfied every predictable expectation of a love ballad or good-time rocker. Mariah Carey is America's sweetheart of the '90s for the exact same reasons. Music Box topped the Billboard album charts, yielding number-one singles like 'Dreamlover' and 'Hero.' The ... |

Rainbow»rank: 17678par: Mariah Carey
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Rainbow, Mariah Carey's seventh studio long-player, is something like a concept album. lts theme is the various stages of the 'emotional roller coaster,' as she puts it, of her divorce and subsequent rebound. Carey continues to walk the line between streetwise hip-hop soul and adult-contemporary acceptability, with the former not surprisingly offering most of the disc's high points. 'Heartbreaker,' the first single, is a likeable piece of bubble-gum R&B with grit borrowed from guest Jay-Z; the ... |

#1s (W/4 New Tracks)»rank: 10541par: Mariah Carey
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Mariah Carey's #1's is as much a time capsule of '90s pop and R&B as a record of one woman's chart toppers: the disc chronicles a shift from the sweet, nearly '50s-style 'Vision of Love' to more recent hip-hop-lite grooves featuring heavy input from Puffy Combs ('Honey'), Jermaine Dupri ('Sweetheart'), and 0.D.B. ('Fantasy'). Some hit, some miss, but all feature the fluttery swoops that Carey substitutes for expression of feeling. Depth is beside the point, but ... |
