4.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest Mariah Carey albums!, August 15, 2008

This is the Mariah Carey i like to listen too. Her songs make sense and have great emotions. I must say that her first 3 albums including the Christmas one are the best albums of her carrer. The rest fall short. i don't like the new Mariah. I think her last two albums were that great specially M=MC2. If you want to listen to good Mariah music you have to go back to where it all started.

4.0 out of 5 stars Emotions Evades the Sophomore Slump, March 31, 2009

This review is from: Emotions (Audio CD)

Released just months after promotion for her eponymous debut ceased, Emotions rode the wave of Mariah's extraordinary early '90s successes. While its predecessor was a bigger hit, this album has been certified quadruple platinum and spawned a classic number-one with its title track. That song opens the record on a high note, literally and figuratively, with its light disco/soul blend benefiting from Mariah's repeated high-pitched riffs. The classics don't stop there. "Can't Let Go" is a jazzy, sensual number featuring some of Mariah's and collaborator Walter Afanasieff's best songwriting; her vocal delivery is as emotive as it is technically powerful. "Make it Happen" follows, mixing gospel-style vocals and lyrics with a heavy dance beat courtesy of the C+C Music Factory. Of the lesser-known tracks, "If it's Over" and "The Wind" stand out. The former, co-written by Carole King and Mariah, is an organic soul ballad with fitting horn accompaniment. "The Wind," written over a piece by Russell Freeman, is a full blown jazz track with strong lyrics and an elegant, understated vocal performance from Mariah. That said, this album is not perfect. Many of the up-tempo numbers don't hold up well after 1991, while some of the grandiose ballads run together. Mariah had yet to fully develop into a songwriter; several plagiarism lawsuits were filed. It's true "Emotions" sounds a lot like soul classics "Got to be Real" and "Best of My Love," and "Can't Let Go" is remarkably similar to Keith Sweat's "Make it Last." You won't find stronger singing on any other Mariah Carey album, but some of tracks suffocate under gimmicky vocal gymnastics. Ultimately, Emotions is a worthy follow-up that set the standard for many of Mariah's future releases. 3.5 Stars.

This review is from: Emotions (Audio CD)

This is one of my fav Mariah albums. Released in 1991 right behind her very successful self titled debut record. Of course everyone's fav song EMOTIONS is always fun! Some of the very best on this CD are AND YOU DONT REMEMBER, MAKE IT HAPPEN, IF ITS OVER, & SO BLESSED, but my absolute Favorite is CANT LET GO. I think everyone would agree this song is just timeless and great all around. It is to me one of the top 3 or 4 Mariah ballads! No one should be without Mariah Carey's 2nd album, EMOTIONS !
