Early buzz on The Emancipation of Mimi predicted that this would be the disc to mark "the return of the voice"--the voice being that glass-shattering instrument that propelled Carey to bestselling female artist of all time status--and mostly it is. But because of the small army of talent involved in its assembly, the album is way more than just a comeback vehicle. For proof, try the straight-ahead, look-out-Beyoncé-Mimi's-still-got-it "Mine Again"; the '70s-soul cuddle-up "Circles," a don't-attempt-on-American Idol love song; or the gospel dazzlers "Fly Like a Bird" and "Stay the Night." But for songs that steer this disc directly into 2005, no looking back, scan the jewel case for tracks followed by the word "featuring": "To the Floor," with Nelly, bumps along to maximum booty-shaking effect, while Twista spins his natural-disaster-force vocals into "One and Only." Snoop Dogg, Pharrell Williams, and Jermaine Dupri also pitch in; between them and the highwire vocals, Emancipation works the kind of pure-pop magic that sets us all free. --Tammy La Gorce

This platinum edition features four tracks not found on the original release: "Don't Forget About Us"; "What It Look Like"; "So Lonely (One & Only Part II)"; and a remix of "We Belong Together" featuring Jadakiss and Styles P.

- My product
I wanted this CD again so badly but I did not want to pay what the stores were charging. I went to amazon knowing I could find a buyer selling this cheap, well I got what I paid for the CD came in a clear CD case with no front cover. I'm a person that keeps the cases and stores my CD on a rack so needless to say don't buy from the seller I brought mine from.

- Swan Song of the Voice
This is perhaps the most exquisite, perfect album Mariah Carey has ever made. From start to finish, it is pure pop/rnb decadence. From the banging club beats of the opener, "It's Like That" to the soaring, gospel crescendo of "Fly Like A Bird", this album is last rallying call of Mariah's 5-octave powerhouse voice. As her newest album has shown, that voice is all but gone now and little remains of its once glorious power and range. TEOM is it swan song - she lets loose with her famous (or infamous) ...

I absolutely love this CD. It is one of my favorite albums ever. I give it 5 stars because I like everyone song, and can listen to it over and over and over again. I just love her voice and her versatility. Mariah fans trust me you will NOT be disappointed. She did her thing on this one.

- We Belong Where?
Together! That's it! I LOVE the danceable tracks in this collection. Let's face it, Mariah's voice is NOT what it used to be. Alas, her music IS better since ole' Tommy Boy left.

1. It's Like That - Dance! Love it!
2. We Belong Together - Not really a ballad lover, but great song!
3. Shake It Off - Dance again! Love it!
4. Mine Again - Bore.
5. Say Somethin' - Slightly danceable. Not that great.
6. Stay The Night - Bore!
7. Get ... Read More
