5.0 out of 5 stars Mariah never fails to amaze me!!!!, June 8, 2005

I don't know why everyone hates Glitter, the album Glitter and any of the singles because Mariah's voice is amazing and I actually like the movie and CD because, unlike most people, have an open mind and can appreciate it! I love Loverboy and all the remixes, all 9 remixes that were made, especially the Club Of Love Remix and the MJ Cole London Dub Mix! A few of the remixes, MJ Cole Remix, MJ Cole Instrumental, and MJ Cole London Dub Mix, even have this Jazzy sound to it and it makes it very unique! The song Loverboy is very unique! I wish people would just stop saying that Glitter and the Glitter CD flopped because anyone with real taste would love Mariah going back to the 80's sound and any REAL Mariah fan would appreciate the album and movie like I do!! I actually cried during Glitter because Mariah did such a wonderful job and she showed all these emotions! It's just really sad that so many people have to put down the most beautiful, powerful, soaringly 7 octave voice in the world!! Thank You So Much Mariah for making another wonderful album, Glitter, and for the movie Glitter, I am your TRUE fan until the end of time!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars They lowered the price for a reason!, July 28, 2001

This single is priced at (I won't say "selling for", cause that may not neccessarily be the case) 49 cents in some stores. It's not hard to see why! I listened to it on the Internet just out of curiosity cause I've heard it's so useless. And guess what!? It is!! It's basically just a jumble of sounds and warblings, "Oh baby"s etc. You cannot sing along to it, you cannot sing it in your head, you cannot remember what the tune was after you've heard it, because there is no tune. What was she thinking? It's rubbish. I am not denying that the girl can sing - she has a brilliant voice and has had some fantastic singles in the past. But this heap of garbage will not be added to the list. People only defend it because they are longtime Mariah fans - but hello, they know it's junk, or else they have hearing problems?? Oh, but the person who said that also said "Loverboy" was a good single - I guess you must have a hearing problem then! Sorry, just my opinion!! PS I only rated this song one star cause you can't do zero, unfortunately!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Simply crappy!, July 18, 2001

This review is from: Loverboy (Audio CD)

When an artist becomes famous, anything he or she does or releases becomes a smash instanttly. Mariah Carey is a classic example. Even though her last few releases were nothing more than a lame rehash of her past work beginning from Honey, they went straight to #1.

When Columbia would and could no longer support Mariah's #1 streak with Crybaby/Can't Take That Away failing miserably at radio and on the charts, Mariah decided to jump ship to Virgin. For this first release, Virgin may be slapping themselves hard in the face for such a high investment in someone who could hardly produce anything original enough.

With hardly any talent than her overstretched multi-octave voicem, Mariah sounds trite 11 years in the business. As a Mariah-usual, she returns to Honey-Heartbreaker, adds a little sampling from Cameo's Candy, put some unlistenable hooks and created a horrible and OVERLAYEREDpiece of crap. She started out as a 20-year-old girl singing mature and sappy love songs and has since evolved into a 31-year-old woman singing about puppy love. Oh god, how ironic, Mariah never progresses, only regresses.
