Despite 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

Glitter rocks and so does the movie! Go mariah

As Mariah Carey was out of the spotlight working in her first movie and her world tour, she was working hard to make this soundtrack ("Glitter" is not one of her regular albums), she didn't really put all her soul in this work. The remakes she did of the 80s songs weren't that good, but the stuff she wrote on her on were worth at least a Grammy nomination. Songs like Lead The Way and Never Too Far are the best off the album, and if they were released in a wise way, thy could become as famous as "Hero" is. This is NOT a bad album, but the choices Mariah and her staff made in it's release resulted in all these bad reviews she and the album have received.… Expand

Obviously, this album is stereotyped because of the movie with the same name. Yes, the movie wasn't good, but the album sure is. This CD mixed the best of the '80's with the best of the '00's, making it something extremely unique and very interesting. The standout track is 'Never Too Far' as well as 'Lead The Way'. The worst song on this album is 'Loverboy' and the remix to it. Oh, and I didn't like the Eric Benet song either. Point is, this album is her best vocally. Take a listen to 'Lead The Way', she holds a huge long note for a good 15 seconds, probably more. Also, if you can manage to find this over the internet, she recorded a fabulous song entitled 'There For Me'. It can also be found on the Never Too Far/Hero benefit single. This album is underrated and stereotyped and deserved much better. And many forget to mention 'Glitter' is the best selling soundtrack EVER in Japan and also went Platinum in the US.… Expand

Mariah Carey has hit it off with this one. It's alot different from her other albums and I LOVE IT. All the critics talking it down... well, I don't see any of them working their butts off and I don't think any of them are the best-selling female artist of the nineties with 10 AMAZING albums out. Mariah has got the best voice this world has ever heard, and this album shows all it can do!! … Expand

She's great. I think I'm in love

I 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.

it's her best since "Butterfly"

mariah should look inside herself and stop trying to be a teenybop star. showing alittle emotional depth(even if theres some insanity down there)would be good for her down the road. shes as fake as her boobs.

It's a load of sweet-poo-poo, totally disgusting and soullless

I can't believe she is the same singer of 'vision of love' fame. Yuk!

Crap!

One of her best efforts to date

a 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!

What has happened to her??? Once in competition with Whitney and now can on strain the notes out. Sort your throat out girl!! you are going out not with a bang

I think it is one of her best work, she really captured the essence of the 80's. As for all the critic trashing it, nothing new to me I've yet to see them appreciate even one album of hers.

GLITTER is one of Mariah´s best albums to date...I would call the album Mariah´s dance album, but ballad fans don´t have to worry, because LEAD THE WAY and NEVER TOO FAR have Mariah´s beautiful and strong voice and are unbelieveble ballads!!! For the RnB fans we´ve got IF WE, a collabration with Nate Dogg and Ja Rule - a funky song! And don´t forget ALL MY LIFE and DIDN´T MEAN TO TURN YOU ON which are by far the best songs on the album. All I can say is: Go Mariah!!!! … Expand
