5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Song Of 2005- - - - Superb Vocal Production., September 25, 2005
This review is from: We Belong Together (Audio CD)
Mariah's albums during 1999-2003 were largely flops, most notably "Glitter" and "Charmbracelet". Then in 2005 came the album "The Emancipation Of Mimi". The first single "It's Like That" was a modest success and hailed the return of Mariah, but then she released this. "We Belong Together" started a long reign at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and became her 16th #1.
I was amazed by this song, I have never really been a fan of Mariah's though now I definitely plan to buy more albums from her. This song totally caught me out, I found the first single off this album rather average yet this song was simply stunning.
I picked this CD up just yesterday and have been listening to it ever since. I think the remixes are amazing as well, especially the "It's Like That" one featuring Fat Joe. But as a song this has some glorious moments, the most distinguished one being the stunning bridge. Her vocal range is an amazing 5 octaves and the bridge is no trouble for her. She seems to be singing in the whistle register. The chorus is really nice to and the piano intro is superb. The way she crafts other songs into this one is great and shows a little bit of diversity.
- "We Belong Together (Main Version)" 10/10
- "We Belong Together (Reconstruction Radio Mix)" 10/10
- "It's Like That (Remix ft. Fat Joe)" 10/10
I thoroughly recommend this song to anybody though the remixes are perfect the original hit is in a class of its own. She may have stiff competition from Madonna's next single "Hung Up" later in the year as the best song of 2005 but for now it is Mariah's year, and time to shine.

ONE OF THE BEST MARIAH SINGLES EVER!, August 30, 2005
This review is from: We Belong Together (Audio CD)
Not only is 'We Belong Together' the most successful single by a solo artist of all time (Mariah cannot beat her own record with her duet with Boyz II Men), but the 'It's Like That' Remix with Fat Joe is great! Most people would need to get the radio rip off of the internet, so it's really hard to find a crystal clear version of this song.
Also, this single includes the VIDEO to 'We Belong Together', so no need to waste computer memory space on this amazing video (#1 on TRL for 8 days, retiring at #1), it's on this CD/VCD!
A great buy, and a great deal! Pick it up NOW!

The remix is okay., August 18, 2005
The original is excellent, and it's no wonder that it was, and still is a chart topper. But the remix is really nothing special. Just download the remix off of iTunes for 99 cents, instead of buying this 2 track single.
