Glitter
While Carey shines on a cover of Cherrelle's 1984 dance hit "Didn't Mean to Turn You On," her version of Indeep's "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" succumbs to the bombastic rap attack of Busta Rhymes and Fabulous.

Emancipation of Mimi
R&B-pop
Despite the introduction of her Mimi alias, this CD succeeds by letting Mariah be Mariah, mixing her trademark powerhouse ballads with hip-pop cuts that free her inner B-girl and feature the occasional guest emcee.

E=MC²
R&B/Pop
Certainly, "E=MC2" doesn't equal its predecessor. Still, this is a satisfying follow-up, heavy on hip-hop-flavored midtempo jams and beat-driven ballads.

Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel
R&B-pop
New York, NY, USA
"Memoirs" ranks with 1995's "Daydream" and 2005's "The Emancipation of Mimi" as one of the best start-to-finish albums of her career.
