The Emancipation of Mimi - Carey, Mariah (CD 2005)

Mariah who? Mariah what? These were all common phrases the public was uttering after Mariah's well publicized emotional meltdown after Glitter failed at the box office in 2001. Well Mariah is back on the right track following the melt down and a luke warm attempt at a comeback with 2002's Charmbracelet. To get things back on track and to keep her sound current Carey enlisted the help of hitmaker Jermaine Dupri (Janet Jackson, Little Bow Wow, Omarion, Jay-Z, Nas) who serves as executive producer on the record. Guest appearances by Snoop Dogg, Twista and Nelly only make it that much sweeter.
Emancipation of Mimi begins with club friendly It's Like That and continues to remain a well oiled machine over an hour later on Fly Like A Bird. The marquee track on the disc We Belong Together is the most played track on radio for 2005 and has been number 1 for 13 straight weeks. Carey coos on the track "there ain't nobody better, Oh, baby baby, we belong together" and people are opening their wallets. Sales of Emancipation have crossed the triple platinum barrier and the third single "Shake It Off" just dropped.
What Mariah is demonstrating on Emancipation is a career can be resurrected and be brought back even better than before. Her vocals never sounded better and the melodies are top notch. Pats on the back should be given to Jermaine Dupri and The Neptunes who have breathed new life into Mariah Carey.

I owned this cd previously and lost it. I still had the artwork and original case, so I did not want to purchase it retail again. I am very satisfied with my Half.com transaction and would purchase from this seller again!

I Love Mariahs Voice it beautiful shes very talented. This cd is by far one of the greatest she ever had.

This album is a masterpiece and every single person in this world should have one of their own..Songs are great.

Love this CD....and if you love Mariah as much as I do you'll also love this CD. Her voice is amazing and she just keeps getting better ans better. So buy listen to it your sure to like it.

I love the song "fly like a Bird" it gets me through the day. I think this CD saved Mariah's career. The production is great and JD puts it down as he always does. Mariah can still hit the high notes. I love this CD. eventhough it's 2 years old it stills sounds fresh and new!

I like the price and the service -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The product was sent fast. And was in excellent condition when it was recieved. The money went through with no problems on either side. I will attepmt to purchase for this seller again. I would alos recommend others to do the same.

With each new CD Mariah releases, they just keep getting better and better. I have been a Mariah Carey fan since her first album in 1990. This CD is hot! And I believe shows the true Mariah!!!

I strongly recommend everyone , who want to buy stuff on the internet that never ever contact buy anything to from this seller. This is a cheater. He (she) receive my money that pay for the CD THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI last August, and he didn't send me the CDs. I did write him (her) 2 email to remind about that, but he has no reply.

I also need helps from the onwner of Ebay to get my money back.

Mariah is back!! After roughly 1 1/2 years since her last LP, "The Remixes", Mariah stormed the Hip-Hop/R&B scene with the release of this album in April of 2005. Mariah Carey has proven to us that her vocal ability and talents are limitless!! It seems apparent that her voice only gets better as she ages.

Some of my favorite tracks include "Its Like That", "We Belong Together", and "Shake It Off".

Definitely a purchase worth every penny! I can listen to this album time and time again! She really shows the strength and range of her voice unlike some albums she has released in the past when the track was more of a whisper. A couple of the tracks are a bit bland and lack a stable melody but all-in-all a great CD.

I LOVE this CD! I can never get tired listening to it. I love practically every song on this album! I bought it back during the summer and Im still listening to it! You can relate to alot of the songs too!

This cd was packed full of great songs. Just like all of her other cds, Mariah Carey is still making hits.

Mariah is Back..and Blowing everyone away...with her awesome new CD..The Emancipation of Mimi. Lots of great tracks with some help from her musical and equally talented friends. (You Go Girl). I saw her performance on Dick CLarks Rockin' Eve...and she was great. Looked great..and sounded great. I highly recommend this CD. What else can I say; but, support her and buy this CD; You won't be disappointed. Truly one of the greatest voices of all time.

If you like R&B and some hiphop style music and someone with a fantasic voice get this CD! One of the better CD's this year.

Mariah's vocals are as beautiful as her thighs. The beats are, as the kids say, PHAT (if you never get a chance to hear the vinyl double LP, you are really missing out on some good sounds). But the album is missing something. Like so much "R&B" music, these days (not to be confused with "Rhythm & Blues"--the logic behind such a differentiation is beyond me), it is less "dancy" and more "Hip-Hoppy"--unless "dancing" to you is "grinding-with-your-partner-on-the-dance-floor-to-slow-beats".
