(26 Customer Reviews)
Personnel includes: Mariah Carey (vocals); Trey Lorenz, Jermaine Dupri, Joe, Luther Vandross, 98 Degrees, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, Lil' Bow Wow. Producers include: Dave Hall, Walter Afanasieff, Mariah Carey, P. Diddy, Jimmy Jam. Mariah protested loud and often when her first hits collection, #1's, was released that the album was not a hits collection: "I haven't been recording long enough for that!" Nothing will age your catalog like leaving your record label, however, so when she flew the Columbia coop for Virgin in 2000, her old label assembled Greatest Hits for release a couple months after the monumental disaster of Glitter, her Virgin debut. Now, this move was surely designed to further wound the ailing Mariah, but this kind of collection was essentially inevitable, and it's about as good as it could be, containing all of her big hits (including songs that did not make it to the top of the charts) over the course of 28 tracks. This is certainly helpful, since it rounds up everything, but its double-disc running time is a bit of a detriment, since it simply is too much. By the end of the second disc, the collection feels a little padded, and her music simply sounds better in the more concentrated collection of #1's, since it runs smoother and has all the really big hits (with the notable exception of the original version of her best single, "Fantasy"). But if you want more simply for archival reasons, this will suit the bill (even though the packaging is unbearably skimpy: no notes, just publishing information and thumbnails of the single covers, which is like having no packaging at all). ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Despite various tabloid-worthy tribulations and a rather flat cinematic debut in the musical bio-flick GLITTER, Britney and her fellow singing Mousketeers would do well to take notes on the galactic-sized success of '90s diva Mariah Carey. The two-disc GREATEST HITS bears witness to Carey's mind-boggling chart dominance and her remarkable five-octave range. Encompassing all the chart-toppers of 1998's #1'S compilation including "I Don't Wanna Cry," "Hero," and "One Sweet Day," this anthology traces the Long Islander's path from heartfelt balladeer ("Vision Of Love," "Love Takes Time") to hip-hop flavored dance-pop queen ("Fantasy," "Make It Happen"). Among Mariah's most impressive traits is her ability to seamlessly match up with a wide range of duet partners. When she's not digging into a Jackson 5 hit with Trey Lorenz ("I'll Be There") or playing Diana Ross to Lionel Richie's Luther Vandross (the '80s smash "Endless Love"), Carey is throwing down with Jay-Z ("Heartbreaker") and going toe-to-toe with fellow diva Whitney Houston ("When You Believe"). Other notable collaborations include a harmony-soaked meeting with Boyz II Men ("One Sweet Day"), a sweet-flowing Jermaine Dupri outing ("Sweetheart") and a Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis-produced summit with Joe and 98 Degrees ("Thank God I Found You").

Mariah Carey Greatest Hits Songs Greatest Hits Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews A Package For Keeps!! It's about time Columbia records release a CD worthy of a mega star like Mariah. It includes previously unreleased but widely heard tracks,"Butterfly, Forever, and Underneath The Stars." True fans will delight in the inclusion of the remix of " All I want for Christmas is you", how timely. This definitely wets the appetite for whats to come in 2002.

A Diva For All Time! Mariah Carey is a goddess! This collection of her hit singles is superb! All the Mariah haters out there need to stop. How can anyone deny the outstanding achievements of this amazing vocalist. "One Sweet Day" spent a record 16 weeks atop the Hot 100 Billboard singles chart, "Fantasy" became the first single for a female solo artist to debut #1 and her singles have charted 61 weeks.So she is an ICON! Mariah Carey "Greatest Hits" showcase her 15 #1 singles, history making collaborations, and so much more. This is a MUST for TRUE Mariah fans!

| | Whitney Houston Whitney: The Greatest Hits CDs (2000)
Greatest Hits
$15.89 Personnel includes: Whitney Houston, Deborah Cox, Kelly Price, George Michael, Jermaine Jackson, Faith Evans, Enrique Iglesias. Producers include: Raphael Saadiq, Q-Tip, David Foster, Rodney Jerkins, Wyclef Jean. Includes liner notes by Amy Linden. Although Whitney Houston's Greatest Hits is a double-disc package (and is priced as such), only the first disc actually contains original versions of Houston's hit singles; the second disc, "The Greatest Remixes", collects remixes new and old to appeal to hardcore fans. Of course, it would be impossible to fit all of Houston's 20-plus chart singles onto one disc, but that single-disc format still could have produced a fantastic and near-definitive collection. That is, if Arista hadn't made the absolutely ridiculous choice not to include "How Will I Know," "So Emotional," "I ...

| | Toni Braxton Ultimate CD (2003)
Greatest Hits
$8.99 Personnel includes: Toni Braxton (vocals); Loon, Babyface. Producers includes: Antonio "LA" Reid, Babyface, Daryl Simmons, Jon Gass, Vincent Herbert. Recorded between 1992 & 2003. Audio Remixer: Soul Solution. Recording information: LaCoCoCabana, Atlanta, GA. Photographer: Daniela Federici. Arrangers: Karlin; R. Kelly; Soulshock; David Foster. Most modern-day female pop singers start their careers doing their sexy, stylish dance-oriented material then settle into a career as an adult contemporary crooner. Toni Braxton didn't follow that route. She started the '90s singing elegant, refined quiet storm ballads and ended it singing sleek dance-pop tunes as she slinked around in skimpy outfits. She wasn't the only ...
