Mariah - 90's or 00's??
For me Mariah was at her best during her first decade - I miss the poppy side that's found on the first 3 albums - To Be Around You, Someday, Emotions, I've Been Thinking About You, Dream Lover....
She released the excellent Butterfly in 1997 - her first proper R&B album and first without Tommy Mottola....since then she's leant more and more to that style of music - but losing the beautiful melodies of her earlier work. The only album I truly love from the 2nd decade is The Emancipation of Mimi, she re-discovered herself and it shone through in the songs. She failed to build on that with E=MC2 (one of her worst albums) and the slightly better Memoirs.... I'd rank her albums 01 Music Box 02 The Emancipation Of Mimi 03 Emotions 04 Butterfly 05 Glitter 06 Mariah Carey 07 Daydream 08 Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel 09 Rainbow 10 E=MC2 11 Charmbracelet |

Mariah Carey has managed to steady the ship at the latter part of the last decade after the debacle signing over to the Virgin record label from Sony ten years ago. It was this time when she had some personal problems but she has turned it around with The Emancipation of Mimi that had the single 'We belong together' and 'Say somthin' and then there were other singles 'Touch my body.' It is full credit to her that she has managed to turn it around after a poor start to decade.

easily the 90's. i much prefer her earlier stuff, mariah carey, emotions, musicbox are my fave albums by, for me it all went downhill from butterfly on and i havnt bought any of her albums since butterfly apart from the greatest hits and going by her music in the last few years i cant see myself ever buying a mariah studio album again.

Without question her older stuff is her best...But I do still love her new stuff, The only album I havent took to is 'imperfect angel' ..I have to disagree with above comments about E=MC2 - I loved this album more than Emancipation of mimi!! 'Lovin You Long Time' is a TUNE!! love this album when the sun is shining!!
I just wish she would tour soon...I have been waiting since Emancipation to see her but only toured the US.... I do have the DVD of the tour and its brill She deffinitly doesnt have the vocal power she used to have, but she is Mariah Carey so she is always going to be fab!! |

E=MC2 is my favourite!
Just shows that we're all different. |

Side effects is brilliant.
If she had done this song as a ballad, people would have raved about it, saying how sad it was, but because it was quite a 'fast' song, it kind of got ignored. The song is a fantastic account of her marriage breaking up, probably my favourite MC song ever. |

H.A.T.E.U. is one of my favourite MC songs of the last 10 years.
