May 29, 2023Biggest and best R&B album of the 21st century. Quality, concept, cohesion, acclaim and success.

Jan 6, 2023Muito bom o álbum, uma obra muito lírica, muito coeso, no lirismo muito suave, um tom suave das melodias, muito bom a volta da Mariah Carey.

Jul 2, 2022This album has one true good track - Say Somethin'. The rest of this album are plentiful of live instruments and belted, loud vocals. However, when i first heard this album, this wasn't it for me and certainly I named it my least favourite 00s Mariah album, however, when I heard Glitter, my opinion changed.

Nov 25, 2021Mariah's best album of this century and it will hardly be tied. Ended Confessions on a Plagiarism floor.

Nov 25, 2021Buying the charts and giving free coupons, the old record company boss's pet can not hide the fact that she is over.
-
Aug 22, 2021“I was in a happy place.” Considered as one of the Greatest Comebacks of all Time, Carey’s 10th studio album showcases her power vocals and party starter grooves which cemented her as a master of her craft.
-
Apr 24, 2021Amazing Album, Maraiah´s voice is angelical, all the songs is perfects no skips!
-
Mar 22, 2021This album sounds so fresh, and the lapse of time from Charmbracelet to its release really helped Carey to experiment new sounds, incorporating elements from the urban panorama, and that made this record sound fresh and not dated, you can hear this one in 2021 and it will sound good.
Highlights: We Belong Together · Fly like a Bird · Say Somethin' · Circles · Secret Love -
Feb 18, 2021"We Belong Together" and "Say Somethin'" really give some life to this album that, once again, gets lost in its generic R&B beats and typical lyrics. It's like, all of a sudden, Mariah only decided to deliver mid-tempo songs, lacking emotion and power as she had in her early years, until Butterfly.

Jun 12, 2020Mariah's 2005 album is such a strong comeback. However, it lacks something, and it is originality. It has incredible songs and vocally demanding masterpieces, which are "We Belong Together", "Circles" and "Mine Again". She included some cute bops but also delivered forgettable and mediocre songs, with unnecessary features. Overall, a good (but could've been much better) project.
-
Apr 12, 2020Although some tracks feel like fillers, overall it's a really enjoyable album. I think this album was definitely needed in Mariah's career, and I'm so glad that it happened. I love the whole theme of this album and what she was going for. It remains one of the greatest comebacks, if not the greatest comeback of all time.

Jan 10, 2020Y'all really thought you'll never see her rise again and guess what, Mariah be like "I'm back darlings and I'm here to slay and serve you quality and success
-
Jun 20, 2019Amazing album, she gave the R&B of the time her own sound, creating a totally new class of r&b that shaped music for those few years past 2005
-
Nov 16, 2019Amazing vocals and lyric. By far her best album and a comeback so epic the world will never forget
-
Sep 14, 2019The voice is back? the voice had never left, once again Mariah proved herself to be the standard of vocal and song writing artistry. There genuinely will never be someone as talented in contemporary pop as Mariah Carey.
-
Aug 23, 2019One of Mariah’s best albums So meaningful and a great comeback album, if there’s one person i say artist should look up to i say it should be Mariah, SHES very talent, one of the best singers to date and a great lyricist.
-
Jul 22, 2019Perfect come back to a truly legend! We belong Together the best song of the decade by billboard Go get them Mimi, you got this!
-
Jun 19, 2019By far one of the best come-back albums in music history. No wonder it was such a success and had a massive impact. Carey outdid herself with this and cemented her status forever!
-
Mar 29, 2019Definitely one of the best R&B album of all time. No filler and all worth-listening songs. Vocal on point and it's going to make haters ashamed of their favs.
-
Nov 16, 2018Esse álbum é um diamante, Ninguém compõe melodias iguais a da Mariah. Por isso ela é a número um. Merecia muito mais prêmios, mas tudo bem, o mundo da música nem sempre premia quem sabe cantar. Muitas vezes premia quem dança mais ou quem engana mais.
-
Aug 11, 2018The Emancipation of Mimi is the greatest come-back of all time I think... Every song is just magical and pure genius, you can listen it again and again. Can we talk about success of this album? I don't know any stars who could do it after 5 years of flop. Mariah is so powerful and she proves it in Mimi era.

Sep 23, 2016An excellent record that allowed that is consistent throughout its runtime the only song that really can't shine compared to the other songs on the record is "Get Your Number" other than that it was a welcomed return for her
-
Jul 16, 2016Mariah Carey showcases stronger vocals in "The Emancipation of Mimi." Highlights are "We Belong Together," "It's Like That," "Shake It Off," "Mine Again," and "Circle," though I didn't really enjoy the rest of the album.
-
May 24, 2016Álbum incrível a nível de Mariah Carey, cada música percebemos que foram muito bem trabalhadas, os vocais estão a nível luxo, um álbum digno de uma lenda do R&B como MARIAH, o melhor retorno da música sem sombra de dúvidas!!!
-
Jan 6, 2016Um álbum bom. Não sei pq ela é tão massacrada pela crítica. A música "we belong together" é umas das melhores dela, um marco na história do pop. Mariah explora batidas de hip hop mas usa sua voz magistralmente.
-
Nov 10, 2015certainly is the masterpiece of 00s the best album of this epoch as well as innovative sold millions and loved by the general public only Thursday magazines like Rolling Stone and company that always give low marks to her suspect it.
Awards & Rankings
-
Entertainment WeeklyHeavy on ballads and midtempo love songs, it always keeps at least one foot (more often both feet) planted firmly in comforting old-school diva soul. [15 Apr 2005, p.76]
-
There aren't any great songs among Mimi's club tunes and pop-chart-conscious tracks, and Carey is still suffering from a serious crisis of confidence.
-
Despite its grim title with its visions of messy self-absorption, The Emancipation of Mimi is - mostly - cool, focused and urban.
