Isn't it time Mariah did something a little different?

Carey seems to waste her operatic range on lame material and a wrong-headed singing style.

The material allows The Voice little scope for showing off, and Ms Carey witters ineffectually from within the anodyne fog.

There are a couple of good up tempo songs, but she is really at her best on ballads like "Hero."

There's no denying her songwriting craft on such fluffy concoctions as "Dreamlover."

If huge ballads like "Hero," "Anytime You Need a Friend" and a gospel-flavored remake of Harry Nilsson's 1971 hit, "Without You," traffic in pop cliches, they are the top-of-the-line in generic 90's pop.
