The Mariah Carey Discography Rate - Album Averages

[DNK]

Amazing

[bm08]

Just dropping in to cosign this and state that this version is FLAWLESS.

I have been stanning it for years.

I always love the stripped back versions of her songs because you get to pay attention to a lot of the intricacies that is masked with all the bells and whistles.

One Child is simply beautiful.

[Wayne]

I adore One Child, surprised by its relatively low score. I also enjoy Thanx 4' Nothin' - a highlight on E=MC2.

[bm08]

I'm surprised to see Runway so low,given just how many fans seem to want it on the original album. But, I think the song is mediocre and thankfully not ruining the album with its presence.

The Impossible is cute. I guess a slightly above 5 rating isnt too bad for it.

[mattsky]

Betcha Gon Know (ft. R. Kelly) is great but I just cannot support R. Kelly, that's why I ranked it a bit lower. Close My Eyes is heavenly in every version.

[spiritboy]

I don't care about any of the songs in this batch.

[Leo]

We continue in the top 100, with songs from 91 & 90!

[whoawhoa]

I've never really understood the love for Babydoll, but I can appreciate it. Circles is placed perfectly.

The only bubbling under that bugged me was Heat. It's such a banger and has always been one of my faves on the album as it's on the Australian edition. I think I gave it a 9.

[bm08]

Babydoll is a really solid track that is perhaps greatly rated here with 7.75.

Circles is a good album track. I think it meanders a bit at times so maybe the title is perfectly fitting.

[Wayne]

I think both Circles and Babydoll are distinctly average.

[mattsky]

Two absolutely amazing songs. I love Babydoll, always have, always will. Circles is one of my favorite non-singles on TEOM.

[Leo]

From the bubbling under I only miss Say Somethin' (ft. Dem Franchize Boyz) [So So Def Remix]. I find it a great song and version!
You Got Me (ft. Jay-Z & Freeway) is hit&miss for me: I do enjoy it here and there but it gets boring at one point.

Circles is a song I enjoy, buy top100? that's a surprise!
Babydoll is great, sexy and smooth. I like it a lot, it's very different from the rest of Butterfly, and reading the other day how she wrote it with Missy explained a lot! So it may no be a top of the top song but I find it very interesting and a highlight in her discography, so happy about the #90 position.

There Goes My Heart! More Than Just Friends! Makin' It Last All Night! The WIND! These eliminations are just painful

[mattsky]

I have always adored Love Story

[spiritboy]

Was she thinking anyone particular when she wrote The Wind?

[bm08]

Was she thinking anyone particular when she wrote The Wind?

It definitely sounds like she is talking about someone in particular, but I'm honestly not sure.

[Leo]

Touch My Body Remix (ft. The Dream) is my biggest fall here.

[Tomer_MC]

My 3 fav from the 280-271 bunch are: Say Something (so so def remix), Butterfly Classic Bossa Nova & Heat.
From 271-260: There Goes My Heart, 4Real 4Real & Making It Last All Night.

Circles & Babydoll are huge!!! very important in Mariah's catalogue.

[InfoFromAus]

Yes - I was a little obsessed with the Butterfly Bossa Nova mixes when they came out during MC30. So good!

[bm08]

We continue in the top 100, with songs from 89 to 87! Some big names fall in this batch, including an ultimate 11 rating!
