I made sure that when September 29, 2009 came around, that I would get this album. I was pretty hooked when "Obsessed" was on the radio and was eagerly anticipating when this CD would come out. As a true Mariah fan, I do love this album. However, I think that some of the songs don't sound like they would even come from someone like her. Don't get me wrong, I like them all. Songs like "Betcha Gon Know", "Standing O" and "It's A Wrap" don't sound like "her songs". For instance, I can compare "Candy Bling" to a song like "Always Be My Baby" or "Angels Cry" to "We Belong Together". Again, I love this album, but don't necessarily agree with who she worked with (The Dream) or some of the songs that were chosen for the album.
What's great about it: A lot of songs!
What's not so great: doesn't sound like Mariah the whole time

I think a lot of people believe that since the movie 'Glitter' bombed, that the album was just as bad. This is NOT true. Mariah dives into 80s music on this soundtrack/album. Don't be fooled into thinking this is a "bomb". It has been certified "platinum", and the songs are personal and raw. One of my favorite Mariah albums!

This was actually the 1st Mariah album I've ever bought. Touch My Body is definitely a standout on the album. I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time is another great track. Not her best album, but you will have fun listening to it!
