The Remixes - Carey, Mariah (CD 2003)

Ah, Mariah...once one of the bright lights in contemporary music now reduced to a punchline. Whereas once when we thought of you we considered the immense voice punctuated by dog-whistle high notes and a sort of there/not there bland personality, you are now known as the loose cannon of divas. Slipping into a tub wrapped in a towel on "Cribs", performing a striptease on "TRL", "Glitter" and it's aftermath-Mariah Carey has officially become the diva you love to hate. Not that much of her early music was cause for celebration. After making an excellent debut album, Mariah settles into a heavy...

For years, I ve been hoping that Mariah Carey would release a remix album . I never thought it would happen because it just didn t seem like something she d release. So leave it to Sony to do it for her.

To begin with, this album (or should I say compilation) was too much to review so some tracks are going to go in the garbage, alrighty? ALRIGHTY THEN!..

Mariah Carey's name has fallen victim to the slander of about every magazine, newspaper, and published report in the world in the past few years, when a flurry of negative media flew in when her nervous breakdown coincided with the release of her "Glitter" LP.
