Summary: My product
Comment: 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.

Summary: Swan Song of the Voice
Comment: 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) high notes and full power belts and she sings most songs on the album in her chest voice. The breathiness does pop up now and then but instead of detracting from the songs, it add texture.

The album is a assortment of all different musical flavors - clubbangers like "It's Like That", contemporary rnb like "We Belong Together", "Joy Ride", and "One and Only", classic soul like "Mine Again", "Stay the Night", and Circles", light-hearted disco/pop like "Your Girl", smooth, laid-back grooves like "Shake It Off" and "Say Somethin'", and gospel like "Fly Like A Bird".

The only miss is "To The Floor", a laid-back, club type song with Nelly. It's okay, but takes a while to grow on you.

All in all, this is an amazing album from Mariah. It's certainly her best this decade and possibly the most well-executed and listenable since Daydream.

Unfortunately, we may not get another musical gem like this from Mariah. Her voice has completely fallen apart and she's decided to follow of the path of all the wanna-be Beyoncés and make vapid, soulless music with no intergrity or meaning. Hopefully, she can rise past the current mess that is E=MC2 and come back with another classic Mariah album.

Summary: We Belong Where?
Comment: 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 Your Number - Great lyrical fun and danceable!
8. One And Only - Bore.
9. Circles - Bore!
10. Your Girl - VERY boring!
11. I Wish You Knew - BORING!
12. To The Floor - BORE!
13. Joy Ride - I'm sleeping Mariah....
14. Fly Like A Bird - Please, this is trashy gospel.
15. Don't Forget About Us - Fair, but not a #1 as occured.
16. Makin' It Last All Night (What It Do) - Great simple song.
17. So Lonely (One & Only Part II) - Snooze Fest!
18. We Belong Together Remix featuring Jadakiss and Styles P. - STUPID!

All in all, an okay album. I would suggest DLding the dance tracks and SKIPPING the rest.
