LesM.Oct 30, 2001I think this album is great. Mariah Carey is glowing in this glitter album! It is not true she is going down because I think that all this negative commentaries are just making her triumph at this point. It is just a matter of publicity. I think her voice is awesome and the songs are sang with lots of heart.

jimkJul 6, 2004a few good songs, and a plenty of bad make this MC's worst yet. "Never too Far" and "Lead the Way" are awesome, but then comes "Loverboy," the pathetic song that was a wanabe Heartbreaker, although it was not too good either. Still a huge fan!

JayMDec 25, 2006Despite the negative aura around this album, it is Carey's best work. A fresh blend of bubble-gum pop, hip-hop and 1980's beats, and a different feel to each song, "Glitter" is much more than gold

Jun 17, 2015it's not her best work, neither is the worst, and it was the boldest move in her entire career, sadly after the failure of this album, she never dare to step out of her comfort zone
-
Dec 12, 2013Besides the deadly mistake of this soundtrack be released precisely on the 11th of September, Mariah wrongdoing with the overflow of guests on your disk, end up leaving it as an guest to their own work. Mariah brings the your best 90s in "Lead the Way" and "Never Too Far", rescues the disco era on tracks like "Wanted You" and 1982 cover the Indeep group, "Last Night DJ Saved My Life".

Aug 23, 2020Mariah Carey's unique 2001 album [Glitter] was a one-off Virgin release until she just underwent the Island Def Jam Music Group/Def Jam Recordings years, between 2002 and 2015.

Feb 21, 2015A wronged album. Once for all, its one of the most inteligent work of pop music. The Way Mariahs wanted to make the music match with movie is so fantastic. And finally the best dance album of her, differentiating her from boring singer of R&B Like Celine Dion.

Jul 3, 2015Glittler is an album ahead of its time. Definitely She combined R & B and Hip-Hop and Pop, also disco music in '' Last Night a DJ Saved My Life '' In a way it have never done before on her last Albuns.

Nov 10, 2015Despite everything that happened on September 11, the material had a great dance and retro footprint which was later used by Madonna, Brunno Mars and others, it is amazing how she can go from one extreme to another.

Mar 27, 2016Nice album, beautiful ballads, sounds different. good work Carey, 80s style, R&B, pop, hip-hop.a good dance album. I Love Mariah's albums, always good work.
-
Mar 2, 2017Amazing album. The movie was average but the album was what shocked me. Her singing and vocals were incredible and sounded just like her previous albums (but if not better).

Feb 12, 2022A maior injustiça e desastre foi esse album ser lançado no mesmo dia do atentado de 11 de setembro

Jun 20, 2019Not cohesive piece of work at all! But some very good standout tracks and powerful vocals from the legend herself

Jul 22, 2019I still don’t get it why people kinda sabotaged this brilliant peace of work. Mariah sounds and looks amazing either in the movie or the soundtrack for it. Maybe after the terrible 9/11 terror attack people got scared to go out and get the album knowing that downloading music wasn’t something possible at that time. #justiceforglitter got it to the number 1 on iTunes in 2018 well deserved.

Aug 19, 2019I don't know why this album haves such a hate! It's a great album and it deserve so much better, in the charts and the critics. It's really cohesive and her vocals are perfect! #JusticeForGlitter

Jul 24, 2020Not her best. Still a masterpiece, people like to criticize it for the lack of success, but it had very solid songs 80s based that revolutionated 2001.

Aug 13, 2020Es un álbum muy bueno y tiene canciones como lead the way que marcan su rango vocal el cual es magnífico
-
Dec 26, 2020best soundtrack ever ever. stream Loverboy and Original Loverboy in Rarities album. This album should deserve more because some female entertainer stole firecracker sample from Mariah to make her entertainment.
-
Jun 13, 2021This album is so underrated, it’s so fun and **** on by the lambs. The tracks are cohesive and make you want to dance, the ballads are very personal and make you realize what she really went though.

Awards & Rankings

Jul 1, 2014While the album may have its flaws, it is for the most part a successful period piece that clearly displays Carey's appreciation for all that has come before her.
-
While Carey has never been a particularly confessional musician, Glitter seems a step in a more cathartic direction, from which subsequent albums should no doubt benefit.
-
BlenderAfter years of trading her signature flourishes for a radio-ready purr, she's left with almost no presence at all. [Aug/Sep 2001, p.118]
