E=MC2 (Deluxe Edition) by Mariah Carey (CD, Apr-2008, Island Records USA)

I like Mariah Carey and I like her music; it has evolved so much, you can't help yourself, just listen and enjoy.

but once it did, I came to like almost all the songs. These songs are a bit too commercialized, although that is Mariahs' standard, I feel like these songs have very little soul and the writing is forced.

Another great cd, with great songs for young and old alike. I'm in my 40's and liked every song on the cd.

I am a huge Mariah fan , this cd is great ! Mariah did it again with hot dance track and smooth ballard ! Mariah always leaves us with one christan track to close out her cds ! Mariah cd is fun and great !

the seller never shipped the cd I had to file a claim with paypal to get my money back and now the same seller is selling under a different name

My daughter was a new single mom, and we saw the promotion on Oprah. She made the comment that she has every CD of Mariah Carey---so I checked on e-bay, found it immediately, and had it in time for her Mother;s Day gift. She was overwhelmed to have received this hot new CD so quickly---adding to her collection. GREAT music!!

This is a good CD. Not great...but good. You can experience the powerful range of Mariah's voice on this CD. The production is good. The songs are good. But, again, not great.... She won't be winning any grammys with this CD.

Regardless, if you love the sound of her voice, like I do, and you've enjoyed her other CDs, which I have, you'll be pleased with this one.

The issue with Mariah Carey has been and always will be the same; is she a great pop artist and singer, or is she a diva with too much pretense and French pastry in her music to be taken seriously? All too

the music is outstanding! the artist is as usual very tasteful!! great beats! mariah's signature! I wish she would sing some of those same songs in spanish!!!

AWSOME !!! This album is just like a compilation of many great songs, once again Mariah has proven to the world that she's indeed the greatest diva on earth !! Many songs are very potential to be released as single, such as MIGRATE, CRUISE CONTROL, I STAY IN LOVE, THANKS 4 NOTHING, SIDE EFFECT. This album is definitely a masterpiece !

Just like most any other cd, there is only a couple songs I truly enjoy..I was very surprised when I listend to this cd, I was so anxious to get it as her Emancipation of MiMi cd was just awesome...I loved every song..And the collaberations on this new cd, and the beats, etc, were just sort of, eh ok, nothing special..I was very disappointed to say the least! Download the songs you like is my suggestion, don't go spend the $10 or whatever for the actual cd, not worth it in my opinion.
