The Mariah Carey Discography Rate - Album Averages

[bm08]

The Breakdown video was something else.

Honey was great - a fun, energetic and entertaining video, but Breakdown was class all the way.

Which makes it insane that the video almost never happened.

[Thriller]

Heartbreaker bops hard and has the iconic video.

Everything about it is just perfect.

I've been addicted to "Honey" from day 1. The video could only make me love the song even more.

That jump to the pool in high heels alone >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Re: Mariah Carey - Honey

This is 90s Perfection. An angelic voice singing over a real hip hop beat. An (eternal) bop.

Mariah. A legend.

Honey is perfection. The video is iconic. Giving Me Life is everything, but I'm surprised it's made the top 10. #Beautiful is a great summer song.

[spiritboy]

Honey brings out my inner slut, i love that bop so much.

[Thriller]

Honey is such a groove, surprised I didn’t rate it 10.

#Beautiful was her last UK hit

[InfoFromAus]

What an incredible top 7!

Also, surprised that #B rated so highly given the scores... I'm guessing it has the fewest 10s out of any of the top 10 songs.
It must have had a lot of 9s.

[nemospence]

GML- The Caution album is well-represented inside the top ten with this song. A good R&B song. Initially, this was my favorite song from the album. But The Distance and Caution are giving me life more now.

#B- I love the melody of this song. I 'm not sure about the sound quality though. Well she produced this song during her American Idol stint as a judge. Maybe she wasn't 100 per cent dedicated on this one. I wasn't excited when this song came out. Because it kinda stole the attention away from the AI contestants. It would be a better idea if she gave this song to the winner and get heaps of praises as a co-writer. I'm sure she thought about it too. And it would have ranked higher than #15?

H- Yeah, this song can represent the Butterfly album inside the top ten, I'm okay with that, really. But I would have preferred the song that bears the name of the album. Thank You.

Interesting observation!

It had the highest number of 9 rates (10).

Highest number of 9 rates:
- #Beautiful (10) [plus one 9.5]
- Caution (9)
- Melt Away (9)
- Emotions (8)
- Dreamlover (8)
- Make It Happen (8)

[matthew_dixon]

Wow - the top 16 so far is "O Holy Night" (which I ranked top) and aside from that songs that either I don't know, or ones I ranked singlehandedly lowest of anyone!

That is quite interesting indeed.
I like interrogating numbers... which may seem odd to some haha.

I was one of the 9s for #B. In fact, I was responsible for a few of those 9s.

Okay, since this is about to finish, lemme try to catch up:

Without You - one of her finest covers, and definitely her most critically-acclaimed cover. I love it.
I Still Believe - suspiciously high. It's cute tho.
Slipping Away - hmm...the lambs like this one this much?
Obsessed - higher than I thought it'd be, but I love the energy of this song. So diva.
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - good song.
Touch My Body - also higher than I thought it'd be.
Out Here on My Own - hmm...
Can't Let Go - I like this - classic melody.
Whenever You Call - such a pretty melody.
Love Takes Time - simple but beautiful.
Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) - ooh, this is an all-time favourite of mine!
Close My Eyes - mature.
Underneath the Stars - overrated.
Emotions - ooh, a tough one to sing at karaoke!
Dreamlover - summer bop!
It's Like That - hmm...I think this is fuelled by the comeback energy of that era.
Anytime You Need a Friend - this has grown on me so much. One of her finest ever.
Betcha Gon' Know (The Prologue) - whoa, this is high...but I can't say it's undeservedly high. Great songwriting.
Fly Like a Bird - fantastic song, but I'm happy it isn't higher. It's adequately ranked.
Everything Fades Away - hmm...this is high, but it is a good song.
When You Believe - whew! This song has quelled my anxiety in some truly high-pressure, high-stress moments.
Lead the Way - that final note tho!
Butterfly - this song is without flaws.
Breakdown - it's grown on me, but it's higher than I'd have ranked it.
Heartbreaker - fun video.
O Holy Night - among her top 5 vocal performances.
Caution - her sexiest song. Honey can eat its heart out.
Giving Me Life - classic, rich melody.
#Beautiful - bleh at this being so high. Uber overrated.
Honey - I love the remixes more than anything.

More important is music quality, not buying 5 copies of album just for make album #1, it's then fake success.

[InfoFromAus]

Here we go...cracking open the top 10

The songs that are left randomised:

Always Be My Baby
All I Want For Christmas Is You
We Belong Together
The Roof (Back In Time)
Fantasy
My All
Vision of Love

I dare not make predictions, but I have a feeling that ABMB will rank higher than WBT.

Vision of Love will be in the top 5.

My All will be top 3.

[nemospence]

I just heard Almost Home for the first time. And I loved it! So it's ranked #107 here. And RayRay gave it an 11. I understand you can only give that score to only three songs. That's an amazing choice!

[spiritboy]

My best friend who hates Mariah and her music loves Almost Home a lot.

[nemospence]

My best friend who hates Mariah and her music loves Almost Home a lot.

How was that even possible?

[spiritboy]

How was that even possible?

I guess it's a lot more Pop than most of her songs

[RayRay]

It was an easy choice to give one of her all time best songs 11 points. Almost Home deserves it.

[bm08]

My best friend who hates Mariah and her music loves Almost Home a lot.

This is so random. Lol

IMO, it doesnt have the sound or structure of a typical MC song.

[Rawiri James]

Shout outs to those who love Honey like I love Honey!

I always find these Mariah countdowns equal parts exciting and frustrating... I'm really a fan of her R&B and hip-hop stuff (and not a fan of a lot the pop and Xmas stuff) which tends to mean the biggest hits are not my favourite.

Still; the fact that you can dedicate your ears to certain parts of an artists discography, leaving so much left for others to enjoy, is really a testament to her artistry.
