Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Even though Mariah took an emotional battering in the run-up to the release of this her eighth studio album, Glitter is surprisingly focused. The disjointed style of "Loverboy" may have turned off some, but after a few plays it's apparent that this is one of Carey's better cuts with hidden longevity. Accompanying the motion picture of the same name (which Mariah also stars in), Glitter plays homage to selected musical styles of the 80s. That said, the music isn't a rehash of early Whitney or Tina Turner, instead it's more Control era Janet Jackson (the album is coproduced by long-term Janet collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis). Following in the style of Cheryl Lynn's "Got to Be Real", "Don't Stop! (Funkin' 4 Jamica)" and "All My Life" are 1980s funk tunes with an occasional rap accompaniment. Her covers of Cherelle's / Robert Palmer's "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" and Indeep's "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" are decidedly fresh. Tucked in especially for the Mariah traditionalists "Lead the Way" (the love theme to the film Glitter), "Reflections (Care Enough)" and "Never Too Far" are all standard Carey "belter-ballads". The purists will also be pleased by the album (and film) title, which fits in neatly with the schmaltzy and kitschy titles of previous album releases Daydream, Butterfly and Rainbow. --John Galilee Customer Reviews

Loverboy. 10/10 OVERALL GRADE: 10/10 This album was unfairly labelled a flop. The best songs are obviously the funk ones. Don't let the bad press put you off! Rating:  - good album,but not as good as her othersI think this album is quite good i luv the loverboy remix,featuring ludracris,da brat. i also love last night a dj saved my life,it is a great dance track. i think the whole album is really good. i would say to buy these mariah carey albums: mariah carey rainbow charmbracelet emecpation of mimi E=mc2 butterfly glitter music box Rating: - Mariah will ALWAYS be my #1I can comfortably make the statement above because of albums like this, i truly love this album from every single song down to every single note sung, and i'd give it 10 stars if i could. I just find Mariah so perfect, i mean everything about her, as you can probably tell i am a die hard fan, but even so i still don't understand some of the bad reviews it's got, so what if it was released on September 11th 2001, so what if it was considered a 'flop' by others, a good album doesn't need to be surrounded by all this 'hype', anyway i found this album to be more of a hidden gem. What i also picked up on this album was the real contrast of moods, there's no in the middle with this album the upbeat songs are upbeat and the ballads are real ballads, ...

Rating: - good voices but only a couple of memorable songsThe thing I liked about the Glitter cd was the quality of Mariah Carey's singing.The best songs were the ones she sang unaccompanied such as Reflections.I think you have to be a big fan of hip-hop,funk and rap to like most of the tracks on offer here.For a lot of the songs I kept thinking that Mariah was out of place when she was backing the other artists and they were out of place when they were backing her voice. |
