 (13 Customer Reviews)
Carey opens the album by exhibiting some of the most sincerely soulful vocals of her career on the one-two punch of the up-tempo "It's Like That" and the beautiful ballad "We Belong Together." Her able voice expertly complements both the hazy hip-hop of Snoop Dogg on "Say Somethin'" and the acrobatics of Twista on the dream-like "One and Only." In her early years, Carey would have adorned the latter track with vocal tricks to show off her five-octave voice, but she has wisely learned to rein in her frills. In fact, restraint is the key word on THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI, a straightforward and satisfying pop-R&B collection.
With the lofty title THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI, it's clear that Mariah Carey wants listeners to know she's releasing an important record. Here she aims to reveal an aspect of herself that has previously been held back by career missteps and tabloid-worthy drama. It's refreshing, then, that 2005's EMANCIPATION returns the focus to Carey's remarkable voice, as the singer makes her most accomplished record in over a decade.

Entertainment Weekly (No. 815, p.76) - "[E]very song on EMANCIPATION showcases Carey's undeniable vocal strengths..." - Grade: B
Vibe (pp.139-140) - 4 discs out of 5 - "Mariah gets back to her winning formula on MIMI. Her yin and yang method, with its schizophrenic mix of the '80s and 21st-cetnury hip hop, works wonders for EMANCIPATION."

 Incredible, Mariah is back better than ever
Mariah Cery is one of those singers that you never forget, she have the looks, the attitude and the voice. In her new album she demostrate that theres no competition to her, she is amazing. The incredibles We belong together, Circles, Mine again, Dont forget about us and Fly like a bird prove her amaizing and sometimes unapreciate vocal range. Ithink that these people that hate Mariah are only envy people, people that cant handle with a living legend, imitate by all this new divas. Look at Yoyo, Beyonce, Jeniffer Lopez, Jessica Simpson and Cristina Aguilera and you see an imitation of Mariah Carey, of course an imitation so far of the original. Heard The Emancipation of Mimi and you discover why Mariah is the best.
