Product Description:
"Fantasy" provides the only real transcendent chapter on this album. Reinterpreting Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" with a percolating dance beat, the single emphasizes everything that makes Mariah Carey great. Her voice swoops, squeals, and careens over the seductive rhythm, while the words capture just the right amount of vulnerability and determination. Unfortunately, the thrill is short-lived, as the multiplatinum singer soon falls back into typical adult-contemporary schlock and pointless vocal gymnastics, particularly on "Melt Away" and the bombastic cover of Journey's "Open Arms." --Aidin Vaziri
Customer Reviews:
 Daydreamin is wat I do best!, 2008-10-25
This album really has some bittersweet memories. I love the year 1995 and this album is one of the reasons why. One Sweet Day, Always Be My Baby, and FANTASY are all memorable to me. It makes me think of my childhood. i really do miss the 90s. I definately recommend this album to any new fans. It's the best.
1. Fantasy-i love the sample of tom tom club. it brings really good memories especially the video. It shows a very happy Mariah having a good time. 5/5
2. Underneath The Stars-this song is really cute in a special way. It's about being on cloud nine. Something that we all have felt somewhere in our lifetime. 5/5
3. One Sweet Day-who doesn't know this song??? i hear this on radio alot. it's very bittersweet and meaningful. 5/5
4. Open Arms-i grew up hearing the Journey's version. Mariah's version is pretty good. 5/5
5. Always Be My Baby-yup, i do remember this video. these days, i think it's equivalent to "I Stay in Love". very junior high/high schoolish. 5/5
6. I Am Free-umm...it's okay. 3/5
7. When I Saw You-yea, i have experienced this. like the song said "i could not breathe". lol 5/5
8. Long Ago-yup, this 2. it's about a guy who doesn't display the same affections as before. i love the beat. 5/5
9. Melt Away-oh yea, there were times where i did "melt away" and it felt really good!!!! haha. 5/5
10. Forever-this song sounds kinda 50ish, but it's really cute. 5/5
11. Daydream(interlude)-alright 3/5
12. Looking In-the song sounds very melancholy and haunting as it describes a girl who feels trapped inside. 5/5
