Reviews


whats the point

This is not against Mariah considering it's not her releasing this album but anyone who is a fan of mariah already has these songs, it is obviously just a marketing scheme to get a bit of money out of it, for people that don't have many mariah albums then this might be useful that's the only reason why I gave it a star,also some of these songs aren't even ballads and they are also missing quite a few ballads.

great collections but...

...the record company left a few other underrated gems like "Never Too Far" which was the second single from "Glitter" and many more from her previous catalogues.
I think the proper title should be "the incomplete ballads" or "evil marketing-ploy for stocking filler ballads" since Christmas is just around the corner. What a pity. Still a great collection but not an excellent one.

Not ANOTHER pointless collection!

Firstly, MADONNA is the biggest selling female of all time, and secondly, what is the point of ANOTHER Mariah collection? Haven't we got them on all the other compilations????????? Nothing new here, just SONY farming the back catalogue again (very reminiscent of Michael Jackson and Celine Dion).

An Album for the nonFans

I have compared Mariah Carey Album N1 and this album- which has 8 songs previously included in the N1 album and I think when you are a true fan, all that is being proposed in this album you already heard and have at home. I give her 4 stars for her wonderful voice,and I was expecting bonus tracks. This album has a spiritual note to it which sounds good for Christmas present. But as a fan I am only impressed with her voice.

The Queen of Ballads

Mariah the Ballad Queen! As a huge supporter of Mariah and her ballads I was very excited about this CD and it's possible content. The producers have gone back to her roots with this CD and for anyone new to this majestic side of Mariah this purchase is a must! However, for the seasoned fans of this magnificent artist (who have all of her tracks already) there is a lot of great stuff here, but also pieces that do not belong at all as "ballads". There are missing songs like: "Whenever you call", "All I've ever wanted", "Lead the way", "Butterfly", "Music box", "When I saw you", "So blessed" and so much more that truly belong on a Mariah ballads album (but are not here??). Anyhow, everything said, it is a great work of art worth the purchase, which recognises and appreciates the record breaking achievements of the best ballad singer ever, our most wonderful Mariah.
