Editorial Reviews
Welcome to the Playlist series. Painstakingly compiled by the artists and the music nuts at Legacy Recordings, these collections truly represent an artists' complete body of work. We've fished through hundreds-thousands-of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits (anyone can find those). The life changing cuts. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artist who they are.
You’ll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD (as opposed to MP3's that contain less information, which translate into compromised sound). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did.

Not a "Greatest Hits" But Still Has Amazing Songs,
By
This review is from: Playlist: The Very Best of Mariah Carey (Audio CD)
Okay... so maybe this isn't a collection of the very best Mariah has to offer. If you wanted Mariah's greatest hits, then you should get "Mariah Carey: Greatest Hits." Or perhaps you should go download the songs you want individually. What this CD is, is a compilation album containing some of Mariah's personal favorites from her Columbia days. Songs that may have never been commercially released but were "hits" with the fans as well. No, not everyone is going to be ecstatic about the songs chosen for this CD, but they are still great songs. The album goes to show that songs don't need to spend 14 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in order to be good. In fact, only 3 of these tracks made it to #1. Still, anyone that appreciates music cannot deny the power of the haunting vocals of "Vanishing" or the vulnerability of "Looking In." You can also listen to Mariah trying to find herself, both artistically ("Babydoll") and personally ("Outside"). The bottom line is, you don't have to get the CD if you don't want to (it shows the tracklist so it's not exactly false advertising), but if you do, you get 14 great Mariah songs for $6.99.

So much better than The Ballads,
By rmcrae (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Playlist: The Very Best of Mariah Carey (Audio CD)
This is the compilation Sony should've released instead of the redundant Ballads collection. Mariah had a hand in the song choices this time around, picking Columbia owned non singles that mean the most to her. It's great to find Underneath the Stars, Babydoll, Breakdown, and Looking In on one disc, but singles like Fantasy, Emotions, and Dreamlover have been featured on almost every other compilation. They've could've traded them in for other non singles like Fourth of July, Petals, and Close My Eyes. Still a great sampler for casual listeners.

Mariah Carey CD Review - Really Disappointed - "The Very Best of CD",
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Playlist: The Very Best of Mariah Carey (Audio CD)
Hello all....
This is my very first review and I normally don't share my feedback soo broadly, but I felt compelled to give people a heads up about this CD. First of all, Mariah is one of my favorite all-time artists and I truly feel that she is a living legend. I recently saw one of her live shows on TV and that prompted me TO search Amazon for a "Best Of" CD. I bought "The Very Best of Mariah Carey" assuming that it would be just that, some of her very best works.... I popped the CD into the player in my car and very soon I was disappointed, as I played song after song and then realized these are some of her little known "B Side" songs that basically never made the radio. I must admit that I did like one or two of the songs, that I had never heard before, but thats not what I thought that I was buying. I really felt mislead.... At the very least, no doubt this is a case of misadvertisement. I immediately thought...Hmmmm, can I return this CD? We all know that you can't returned used CD's, and it really isn't Amazon's fault. Who ever Mariah contracted with to put this CD together, they had the nerve to call this CD "The Very Best Of Mariah Carey".... Wrong title!!!! They did throw one song on this CD that was a mega-hit, "Fantasy featuring ODB".... I wonder if they felt guilty about putting all those little known songs on this CD, that they felt the need to at least put one smash hit on this project. So, summation....DON'T BUY THIS CD IF YOU ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR MARIAH'S VERY BEST....
