 ITS GREAT November 10, 2008
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
you guys really need to educate yourselves abou this and many other artist.
First of all mariah didnt continue her career to prove to tommy that she would be succesful. she woouldve been succesful anyway! her voice is obviously going to change the older she gets..just like many other singers. Her powerful voice is still there but in many interviews she has said that she doesnt always wanna over do-it just to make "great music". this cd has great music. Its all about the lyrics and she has proven once again that at 38, she's still "in". Hey atleast she can sing.
Fun album! November 7, 2008

After reading a few of the review, I think people need to lighten up. For all the diehard early Mariah traditionalists, I think you are seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. There's quite a bit of revisionist history going on. Way back when in the early days, her voice was spectacular, I'll give you that. But she was often commented upon that she oversang numerous songs. Her music was also overly melodramatic. There were popular duds like Vision of Love that drove me crazy, mixed among some spectacular songs. She didn't get to do too many fun songs that had a good melody. Music shouldn't just be a technical exercise. It's supposed to move you. And pulling at melancholic heart strings is not the only way to move someone.
So she transitioned into the person she is today. It was an extremely rough transition with the disastrous albums Glitter, Rainbow, Butterfly, and Charmbracelet. But this album is amazingly listenable. Sure, she doesn't have the vocal range of the past, but almost all songs on this album are enjoyable. There's only a couple filler songs. I'm surprised they opened with Touch My Body which is only okay. But don't let that stand in the way of getting this album. A worthwhile purchase.
As for her midlife crisis, she never really had a fun early adult life. She got married way too early to a man that was way too old for her. And she suffered during those years so people need to cut her some slack and let her enjoy life again. Sure, she's immature for her age, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt because that early marriage to a person will little commonality stunted her growth as a person.
 I liked the "Emancipation of Mimi" better October 8, 2008

It's no secret that Mariah has God-given, heaven sent ,angelic talent that most of us 9 to 5'ers could only imagine having! She's a musical and lyrical genius, however on her latest effort, E=MC2, I was not as impressed as her last album, The Emancipation of Mimi. On E=MC2, most of the tracks are a testament to the Mariah Carey we all know, hip hop/reggae sounding joints with Damian Marley, Young Jeezy and the overused, yet underrated hip hop/rap mega collaborator, T-Pain. However, it's very rare that when Mariah drops a CD I only like 2 songs on the whole entire album. Unfortunately, my most favored songs are the current hit single, "Touch My Body" and the very melodic, yet catchy, "I'll be Loving You Long Time". This is only my opinion, however, I pre-ordered her CD and was disappointed in it's delivery of the style, lyrical magic, and super talent that Mariah is known for bringing to every CD she produces. It's no doubt the CD will go platinum (if it hasn't already) because she's Mariah - a legend of pure talent and true wisdom of her craft, however E=MC2 does not make the cut for me personally. I am still wondering why for her album release, they had the cover of her album lit up on the Empire State Building?! It would have made more sense to give the previous album that kind of attention, since the skill, time and genuine effort truly went into the "Emancipation of Mimi", instead of E=MC2. Again, this is my opinion - listen for yourself - you might get a different vibe - as for me, I'm still wondering what the E is supposed to equal on her latest release E=MC2 - I wish it stood for "Excellence" but I wouldn't say so for this release.

This album is off the flibbity charts awesome. How? Let me tell you. First the title. When I think of physics and formulas, I think of Mariah Carey. The fact her name has a lot of the same letters as Marie Curie is no coincidence. Mariah is really smart. The songs are cool and talk about love and her body. Those are two things I could put together. I think Mariahs breasts have grown over the years. I just thought I would add that. It doesn't make her music different, but her videos are really cool. The one thing this thing is missing is her really high cackling sounds she used to make more often. She still does it some, but it's not like when she sang "emotion" back in the day. Back then, I fronted a Cameo cover band called Slaugefunger. That's german for freakin awesome. We played Word Up and Oh Sheila all of the time. Burns would play a keyboard solo and then sit on a sit and spin for like an hour. When he finally hurled, we collected bids on it and gave the money to North Omaha. We were great and I still am. Burns is awfully cool too.
Get this CD and you'll want the special at Chachi's steak and pudding.
