Date undefinedI became officially a Mariah detractor in the last years( with the exception of the great We belong Together ...a masterpiece ). I bought E=MC2 in April because I was buying other Cds and felt bad about not buying it along with the others. I didn't like Touch my Body. For me it is a stupid song and a stupid video. Therefore, the CD was left untouched among several others. However, the first time that I listened I Stay in Love, For the record and I wish you well, I felt that the CD was " Not that bad after all" . Since them, I have discovered Bye Bye and Side Effects. These are the 5 songs that gave me back the faith in Mariah. The one I like the most of them is "I Stay in Love " a beautiful song with a nice beat, catchy lyrics and a heartbreaking finale, that only Mariah can sing. This song is really hard to sing. I have seen many people singing it in You Tube and most of them avoid the challange of singing the high final notes. For me, I Stay in Love is a sleeper hit in the oven that will heat us during the cold 2008-2009 winter season. At least it deserves to be a monster hit if only US radio stations and fans embrace it.

Date undefinedyou guys really need to educate yourselves abou this and many other artist.
First of all mariah didnt continue her career to prove to tommy that she would be succesful. she woouldve been succesful anyway! her voice is obviously going to change the older she gets..just like many other singers. Her powerful voice is still there but in many interviews she has said that she doesnt always wanna over do-it just to make "great music". this cd has great music. Its all about the lyrics and she has proven once again that at 38, she's still "in". Hey atleast she can sing.

Date undefinedAfter reading a few of the review, I think people need to lighten up. For all the diehard early Mariah traditionalists, I think you are seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. There's quite a bit of revisionist history going on. Way back when in the early days, her voice was spectacular, I'll give you that. But she was often commented upon that she oversang numerous songs. Her music was also overly melodramatic. There were popular duds like Vision of Love that drove me crazy, mixed among some spectacular songs. She didn't get to do too many fun songs that had a good melody. Music shouldn't just be a technical exercise. It's supposed to move you. And pulling at melancholic heart strings is not the only way to move someone.
So she transitioned into the person she is today. It was an extremely rough transition with the disastrous albums Glitter, Rainbow, Butterfly, and Charmbracelet. But this album is amazingly listenable. Sure, she doesn't have the vocal range of the past, but almost all songs on this album are enjoyable. There's only a couple filler songs. I'm surprised they opened with Touch My Body which is only okay. But don't let that stand in the way of getting this album. A worthwhile purchase.
As for her midlife crisis, she never really had a fun early adult life. She got married way too early to a man that was way too old for her. And she suffered during those years so people need to cut her some slack and let her enjoy life again. Sure, she's immature for her age, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt because that early marriage to a person will little commonality stunted her growth as a person.
