Having "How Much" on there is a JOKE. It's not even a ballad :mellow:

The whole CD's a joke, if her latest album is underperforming then why would a new album with old songs on which i doubt will be promoted do anything.

i really like the cover and love Mariahs ballads

being a new fan of her, i think this is a good idea so will buy but for older fans this will probs be a waste of money

Edited September 19, 200816 yr by Sprock~Dude

a mariah compilation will never be a waste of money.. i will import that from your island too.. theres not yet a release intended in germany

I assume this is just a cash in by Sony BMG? I don't think this has any songs she's released since being on Island Records on it. I would expect 'We Belong Together' to feature on this at the very least and possibly 'Bye Bye' and/or 'Through The Rain'. I guess Sony doesn't have the rights to those but they still have the rights to her songs she released through them.

 

I certainly wont be buying this (as I downloaded most of her albums recently) and I doubt many fans will get it either as it offers literally nothing new, for obvious reasons.

I won't be buying this one, I have all of those songs.

I don't think I will buy this. But I thought there was meant to be a re-release of E=MC².

this is just just a mixed version of her graetest hits release and her number 1's release,,i cant see it doing great especially after the last album didnt do great

it this really official?

I'll buy it :wub:

How awful.

it this really official?

 

i think so yeah

you can pre order it on play.com for those who want to buy it

it this really official?

Well it's official in that it's getting a release, but it's being released through her old record label so I doubt Mariah has anything to do with this - will she even make any money from this?

Why have 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' when it's not a ballad at all but not have 'When You Believe' with Whitney?

So stupid! I think BMG is losing the plot with music! talk about milking the cow lmao

Just another stupid move by Sony BMG. They have been handling Celine's career in a horrible way as well.

I have all of those songs. How pointless this is.

i just saw the cd today here in a shop called heatons they have it well displayed and i bought it as my girlfriend wanted me to get it for her,,however the shoo also also emanciptaion 2 album selling for e1

The adverts for this are everyhwere today. Im predicting no.7 for this you know!
