Review of Butterfly - Mariah Carey by clytaemnestra

Advantages: mariahs voice
Disadvantages: none

...shows. compared to previous albums, butterfly has much more personal lyrics and has more r&b whereas all her other albums were more pop.it still has her trademark ballads such as butterfly and my all which proves she hasnt strayed from her roots, mariah has said she really enjoys singing ballads. my favourite ballad on the album is outside, which i think is about mariahs feelings as a child that she never fitted in with everyone else because she ...
...on you face the realisation you dont have a space, where you fit in, and recognise you were born to exist'' show how much more personal the lyrics are to her, and its a side of her that hadnt been shown before. 'Butterfly' is a much more mature album. the r&b influence is shown on the song Breakdown, which is a huge favourite with fans. it features rappers bone thugz 'n' harmony, but isnt what you would think when you know they are on it, it is ...

Fantastic
Review of Butterfly - Mariah Carey by JOSI78

Advantages: Every song is fantastic
Disadvantages: none

Mariah is at home in the R&B department and this album is (in my opinion) her best so far. There are alot of R&B flavored tunes in here and I would say that almost all of the songs on this album are amazing and ones that you can play over and over. Some of my favourites on this album are The Roof, BabyDoll, Breakdown, Honey and Fourth of July. I think she should have included the remix of My All by Jermaine Dupri featuring Peter Gunz and Lord Tariq ... Read review

Mariah @ her best
Review of Butterfly - Mariah Carey by juicyjess

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

I have been a big fan of Mariahs for many years now and after buying her latest album my respect for her has grown even more! This album has songs on it that complement her amazingly sultry voice. Rainbow sees Mariah team up with well known and well loved artists such as Usher, Snoop dog and Jay-Z. My personal faveroute on the album is track 10, Crybaby, which is excellent! People have often complained that Mariah does too many slushy slow ballads ... Read review

Not so much of the squeakiness please!
Review of Butterfly - Mariah Carey by michellej

Advantages: a couple of good tracks
Disadvantages: not so good for the ears on the high notes

A girl with a really really high pitched voice can be quite an earache. Mariah Carey has got a squeaky voice! On the other hand she has got a really nice husky voice when she sings ballads like Thank God I’ve found you with the boy group. I got the album ‘Butterfly’ and I really hate looking at the cover… why can’t I have a body like that?? I do try…. Honest! (as I eat the rest of my chocolate bar!) I had to laugh at the heartbreaker video where ... Read review

A Complete Mess
Review of Butterfly - Mariah Carey by zwiggy

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...order you can point to Butterfly and say with confidence that this is where she Lost It Big Time. I thought her previous album Daydream was a slight mess, trying to cater for a few too many tastes, but Butterfly takes the proverbial biscuit. The first track, Honey (you MUST watch the video – it is unintentionally hilarious) sees Mariah trying to do hip-hop by employing a rapper who repeats words to the effect of “Mariah, On Fire” (because there aren’t ...
...On the title track Mariah is back to her schmaltzy self, screaming her guts out (and in the video she’s in bed with a horse. I kid you not), and in between is just a huge mess. She was definitely a far better artist when she was “controlled” by her husband/boss, Tommy Mottola. ... Read review

Her Best Album In Light Years
Review of Light Years - Kylie Minogue by  stoffy

Advantages: good old fashioned pop
Disadvantages: a few dodgy tracks

...to the Mariah Carey track of the same name. Probably best to think of Kylie as the Red Admiral, and Mariah as the Cabbage White. 'Butterfly' also happens to be one of my favourites off the album. 'Under The Influence Of Love' is another uptempo swing-a-long, which would have sounded at home on a Kylie album of years gone by. 'I'm So High' is perhaps not the most memorable track off the album, but is nonetheless listenable enough. The penultimate track is 'Kids', her near-chart topper with Robbie Williams. Too much Williams, and not enough Minogue for my liking. Still, the rest of the album more than makes up for it. The album's title track is also the last. Another dancefloor filler, 'Light Years' is one of her best ever tracks, even with the spoken bits, where Kylie plays air hostess. I guess you kind of have to listen to it... Read review

MICHAEL JACKSON INVINCIBLE TRACK BY TRACK
Review of Invincible - Michael Jackson by  TheBlueComet

Advantages: Mindblowing ballads
Disadvantages: Boring repetitive pop tracks

.... Not Jackson's best comeback debut, but very catchy. There's excessive and unecessary "ooh-ahh-meh-che" vocalling but this is a great dance track. 7. BUTTERFLIES (4.40) 7/10 The title reminds me of a Mariah Carey hit. Another R&B track with thick electronic drums. Whilst the lyrics are nice, the tune is smooth, the music is very mediocre and repeptitive, the drumming is too loud. 8. SPEECHLESS (3.18) 8/10 Bizarrely the start of this track reminds me of a typical Beautiful South track, the a-capella ballad. This is quite a nice ballad, though somewhat a bit too feminine for Jacko. 9. 2000 WATTS (4.24) 6/10 Sounds like a Backstreet Boys kind of "well-ard" pop track. At least Jacko tries to experiment but this clearly is not his style. 10. YOU ARE MY LIFE (4.33) 10/10 Beautiful ballad, Jackson at his best. Sounds like... Read review

Let Me Guide U Thru The Purple Rain
Review of Purple Rain (Original Soundtrack) - Prince & The Revolution/Original Soundtrack by  EnglishPatient

Advantages: prince at his most dazzling, accessible and enjoyable
Disadvantages: Only 9 songs...17 Days (B-side of When Doves Cry) should have been included for a start

...didn't escape the attentions of Mariah Carey, however, who covered the song on her 1997 album Butterfly. A delicate ballad of romantic angst, it escalates in tandem with the increasingly desperate voclas to a deranged climax. Perhaps wisely, the next two tracks are something of a recovery period for the listener, and could be the album's least-loved moments. Computer Blue is two songs melded into one, that grooves along quite pleasingly but would never be considered Prince's greatest 4 minutes. It does have the erotically ambiguous spoken intro from the 'are-they-or-aren't-they-lesbians' duo of Wendy & Lisa, who formed part of The Revolution - "Wendy? Yes, Lisa? Is the water warm enough? Yes Lisa. Shall we begin?". Darling Nikki was the first song I'd heard use the word "masturbation" in its lyrics (was I sheltered? or have times... Read review
