I listened to the sample tracks earlier today, and couldn't believe that anything could be so horrible.

To give an educated review, I decided to trek to the local used store, and see if they had it. Not surprisingly, they did -- but it was hard to find, because it was hidden with the $1.99 CD's. (Don't believe me? Go to Switched On CD's in Novi, MI and see for yourself.)

So, I took it for a test drive in the store's CD player. Luckily, they had headphones, because I'd be embarassed beyond belief if anyone saw me listening to this.

Beyond being a total assault to your ears, and a complete insult to anything Mariah Carey has done, this CD actually made me wish I was deaf.

I'm quite certain that you could go to any junior high school, and pick a random girl out of the choir class, and STILL have a rough time coming up with something worse than this.

....

was this tommy mottola's way of getting revenge against mc??If so, then screw him, because this sounds like karaoke on a REALLYREALLY bad night.Seriously,was this a joke???

OK, it's tolerable if this singer can't reach the Mariah's supersonic notes. Expecting a person to reach those notes would be expecting too much. Can't reach high notes? Fine. Don't have Mariah's astounding vocal flexibility? Fine. But I think some intense vocal sessions would come in handy. Actually, judging from the artificial quality of this singer's voice, we can conclude that the unnatural and synthesized sound is the product of too many singing lessons. I think this very poor performance is the peak of this singer's vocal prowess. Just comes to show that some people are born with talent, while others, no matter how much money they spend on vocal coaches, will never compare.

Since 1990, the music world has had the meaning of breaking records redefined by an artist that not only can write the hits, but sing them as well (okay that's an understatement; she sings them beyond astonishment). Sadly when the makers of her tribute album picked a vocalist to highlight Carey's hit, they had a big miss.

The "Tribute To Mariah Carey" LP is nothing more than a sad attempt to capitalize on an artist who can belt out a tune like no other. No, I'm not mad at this album. I'm glad they wanted to tribute her, but why pick a unknown singer (the term singer is used loosely) who can't sing and who can't even hit Mariah's trademark notes (ie, "Emotions", the song where Mariah redefine high notes, the singer on this LP doesn't even come close to hitting this note).

Let's hope the makers of this cd never have a tribute to Aretha Franklin, who will they pick, Britney Spears?

Don't even dare to listen to the samples... It'll probably make you see your lunch again! This woman has the most horrible voice ever, feeling like she's even joking instead of singing! Completely no range flexibility, making her the worst choice to cover ANY Mariah's song! BOO!

Obs: I gave it 1 star 'cos there's no how to give it none.

OOOOHHH my gosh!!!! this person who sang these songs really sounded bad. I was really sad to hear her screw up my favorite song(Butterfly)she cant compare to Mariah's beautiful voice. this woman should sing her own songs because she cant sing Mariah's it would of been better if a real music artist would of sang these songs but come on this lady cant sing (well)im sorry to say that but my god she (is bad)!!!!!

I don't know what this girl was thinking when she decided to botch up Mariah Carey's high notes, but somebody needs to put her out of her misery.

MAYBE if an ensemble of well-known singers attempted a tribute to Mariah, it would pass (e.g., "Divas 2000: Tribute to Diana Ross," with Mariah Carey, Donna Summer, & Faith Hill). But this circus of unknowns? What the hell were the executives thinking when they released this into the public eye? That people would get excited and demand an album from the "tribute" singer?

Sorry, don't think so. Obviously, somebody at Big Eye Records decided to mock Mariah Carey and released this album as a joke. This CD belongs in the comedy section of your favorite music store.

Good greif!!! I would rather poke my own eyes out slowly, one by one, with very dull burning stakes than listen to this ridiculoulsy insulting "tribute" to Mariah Carey. That woman, whoever she is, really should have listened to her own recording before wasting all her time, money, and dignity on printing and distributing such horrible garbage. If Mariah authorized this, it was only so she could have a very good laugh.

THIS ALBUM IS A JOKE! THIS GIRL OR PERSON IS PRACTICALLY MOCKING MARIAH CAREY!!! DON'T THEY INTERVIEW THESE PEOPLE BEFORE THEY LET THEM SAMPLE HER SONGS!!??????? WHOEVER SANG THIS: GET A LIFE AND GO FLIP SOME HAMBURGERS OR SOMETHING!! YOU DO NOT BELONG IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY!! THIS ALBUM SHOULD LIKE TEN CENTS OR LESS!! 11 BUCKS?! ARE U INSANE???!!!! I'D RATHER STICK FISH IN MY EARS! SHHHUUTTTTT UUUUUPPPPPP!!!!!

I think that this singer has some vocal talent-although nothing in comparision 2 mariah carey. But her voice isn't horrible. If she could sing some songs thats style complimented her voice then she might be able to make somthing work for herself. But this CD is just a wreck. I pity anyone who wastes their money on it. I dunno if this was a joke or if the person was serious while making this but I dont think they should have attempted to recreate her voice or her songs. It just doesn't work. To be perfectly honest I really think it sounds like karoke. If you wanna by a mariah CD buy one of her own.
