Rainbow - Mariah Carey > Reviews

Advantages: Read it to find out.
Disadvantages: None

This is the only Mariah Carey CD I own and I must say I was not at all disappointed with it. Rainbow consists of 14 tracks including funky R&B 'How Much', featuring Usher (remember him?), 'X-Girlfriend' and 'Did I Do That?' as well as many others, and the soulful ballad 'After Tonight'. There's the remix of the hitsingle 'Heartbreaker' and the cover version of Phil Collins 1984 classic, 'Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)' which MAriah gives ... Read review

...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 but this album proves her critics wrong with some R and B kinda tunes! ... Read review

Advantages: The album cover does make for interesting discussions about the decline in the faith of pop divas
Disadvantages: The quality of the songs, perhaps? Still, the album cover’s supposed to keep your mind off all that.

Before she discovered she could attract an audience by just wearing clingy costumes and swimsuits, Mariah attracted potential record buyers with a deathly ability to reach those high notes without the threat as though someone was strangling her during those oh-so-emotional ballads....I never did like Mariah Carey though. Fans will flock to hear her cover of Phil Collins’ ‘Against All Odds’ without the added Westlife (depends which ... Read review

Advantages: She's got a great singing voice....
Disadvantages: ....but no ability to carry a tune though.

She certainly has changed direction in all of a hurry....and hasn’t changed a bit. The big single here is ‘Heartbreaker’ and as you might have noticed does bare a passing resemblance to her previous hit ‘Fantasy’. Although really was there a need for two versions, one for her and the other where it’s taken over by Da Brat and Missy Elliott? Essentially, this is an album about getting over HER heartbreak, you can’t feel any sympathy for her. A moderate ... Read review

Advantages: Superlative voice, good collaborations
Disadvantages: Little variation in style

You've heard the line, it features on nearly all her songs:"Mariah, you on Fire", but it's not quite right. I confess I have three of her albums and love her music but it's hardly inspirational or different is it. Obviously Mariah has a great voice, sells millions upon millions of albums, and is a great songwriter, not to mention the fact that she's quite nice to look at. Someone doesn't get to where she is without talent which she has in abundance ... Read review

Advantages: Good singer, does good duets aswell.............
Disadvantages: none..........

I know the most common terms you hear when the name Mariah Carey comes up these days are not the best to put down on paper. But after listening to her latest release, "Rainbow", you see that the labels that have been bestowed upon her are meaningless. Because when it all comes down to it her music is still great, Don't get me wrong I highly enjoy the photos inside the booklet of the CD, but the record is also something to be recognized. I brought ... Read review

Advantages: Songs, Lyrics, Duets
Disadvantages: Thank god I found you song

Mariah is back with totally amazing album. She's been around for 10 years and she gets better with every album. My favourite track has to be the remix of heartbreaker. Idon't understand why it wasn't released. x-girlfriend is worth checking out. Every song has a different meaning. My least favourite is Thank god I found you it is so dull and so unlike mariah. However, this is one truly excellent alubm and everyone should own a copy and play it very ... Read review

Advantages: easy listning
Disadvantages: fast forward button should be close

There was a time when Mariah Carey's music was just innovative, risk taking and extraoridinary as Alica Key's falling .That was 12 years ago when she was young and could only move up. Now, at 32 with ehr diva status and host of emotional problems, Carey is desperately trying to prove she can still praticipate in the race, even if she can't rule it. CHARMBRACELET, her latest album is a conservative, uninspired effort. she dosent do anything wrong, ... Read review

Advantages: Good mix of songs

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
