we ALL know this was a dud, apart from beautiful and thirsty it's a bit of a stain on her career really

best: thirsty / worst: one more try

12.

this album is bad however it's not as bad as everyone makes out, it's fault is because it's has too many songs and the album literally doesn't have a distinct sound. boy (i need you) is one of her best songs of all time

best: boy (i need you), through the rain / worst: my saving grace

cute debut, but better was to come, kinda forgotten x

best: someday, alone in love, vision of love / worst: vanishing

10.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/Emotions_Mariah_Carey.png

again a bit forgotten because the rest of her 90s work is out of this world, has some highlights though, love a bit of gospel

best: emotions, make it happen, can't let go / worst: the wind

9.

it should be a crime this album isn't on streaming platforms, hugely underrated, loverboy might be her best lead single of all time.

best: loverboy, twister, want you / worst: all my life

8.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/Music_Box_Mariah_Carey.png

the best collection of ballads ever, although that's all there is really, the last album from gospel moo moo x

best: dreamlover, now that i know, without you / worst: all i've ever wanted

7.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/33/Mariahcarey_memoirsofanimperfectangel.png

we getting into the classics now, it makes me sad how under appreciated this album is, her vocals are a bit auto tuned on this but who cares

best: obsessed, standing o, angels cry / worst: inseparable

6.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5a/Mariah_Carey_The_Emancipation_of_Mimi.png

truly a return to form, the impact this album had, a comeback album, however maybe a bit overrated? it's like that might be one of my favourite songs of all time though

best: it's like that, we belong together, sprung, shake it off / worst: i wish you knew

5.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8f/Mariah_Carey_-_Caution.png

oh wow, the way she served a top 5 album nearly thirty years into her career, can't stress how the GP failed as a nation to eat this up

best: stay long love you, **** (this forum censored G.T.F.O :skull:) , a no no, giving me life / worst: portrait

4.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/26/Daydream_mariah_carey.jpg

best: for the record, heat, heat, migrate, touch my body / worst: i wish you well

2.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/16/Mariah_Carey_Butterfly_1997_album_cover.png

one of the best records of all time that's it, the girls at the end of the 90s really snapped didn't they?

best: honey, the roof, breakdown, fly away, my all / worst: n/a

[armand.kay]

give Faded the credit she deserves!

Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/33/Mariahcarey_memoirsofanimperfectangel.png

What a bore chile... I hope the good sis God overlooks this horrid album on judgement day because I fear my sis will be on a one way trip to the pits if he considers even one song on this snooze fest.
Best: No!
Worst: Rest

12. Me I Am Moo..
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1b/Mariah_Carey_-_Me_I_Am_Mariah_%28Official_Album_Cover%29.png
Very long for no reason More than a few bops, however. The album isn't bad but it's also not very good.
Best: Thirsty, #Beautiful, Meteorite, Faded
Worst: Rest

11. Glitter
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9a/Glitter_Mariah_Carey.png
this is a good album, I had an era when I was OBSESSED. Now I can't stand to listen to a single track from this album but I can appreciate that the songs are fine.
Best: Loverboy, Never Too Far, Last Night A Dj Saved My Life, Never Too Far
Worst: If We, Lead The Way

10. Emo Shunned
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/Emotions_Mariah_Carey.png
Great vocals, fun songs. A great album that I don't listen to enough.
Best: Emotions, Make It Happen, Can't Let Go
Worst: The Wind

09. Gay Rights
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/65/Mariah_Carey_Rainbow.png
A fun and youthful album but it's a bit all over the place. Needs refinement and a direction. Mariah is lucky that she didn't release this later on in her career because it would've TANKED.
Best: Heartbreaker, Bliss, Crybaby
Worst: Did I Do That

08. Charmbracelet
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/Charmbracelet_Mariah_Carey.png
I do have a soft spot for this album because it's really not as bad as you'd expect it to be. There are SEVERAL bops on this album and I'm obsessed with the whimsical feel of the album. Its downfalls are the overproduction on her voice, the length and all the fillers.
Best: Bringing On The Heartache, Boy (I Need You), The One

07. Einstien
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/07/E%3DMC2_Mariah_Carey.png
The rest of the albums on this list I love and this album is just the one i love the least. I hate how much the Lambs hate on this Club banger. You can never go wrong with classics like Touch My Body and Bye Bye or bops like Migrate and I'm That Chick. Yup this is a masterpiece and it being this low isn't a reflection of its quality but rather on how great the rest of Mariah's Discography is.
Best: I'm That Chick, Migrate, Side Effects, OOC
Worst: Love Story

06. Music Pussy
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/Music_Box_Mariah_Carey.png
I use to hate ha for being a bunch of ballads but honestly, I'm obsessed with this album now. A lovely and uplifting album. Without you is probably the best cover to ever be recorded. yup.
Best: Dreamlover, Anytime You Need a Friend, Without You, Just To Hold You Once Again.
Worst: ..

which hoe debuts with 3 back to back number 1's?? The writing, the vocals, the boppery!!! whew chile I can only imagine what it must've been like to be alive when miss Moo released this gorgeous lil number.
Best: Vanishing, Vision Of Love, Alone In Love
Worst: There's Got To Be A Way, Prisoner

04. The Emancipation Proclamation
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5a/Mariah_Carey_The_Emancipation_of_Mimi.png
Greatest comeback album in history?? oh, Luv miss Mariah did what she had to do with this record and left her naysayers looking FOOLISH. An RnB classic indeed!
Best: We Belong Together, Shake It Off, Circles
Worst: No!

03. Caution
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8f/Mariah_Carey_-_Caution.png
now, how did this hoe outdo herself 28 years into her career?? like this album is brilliant, it's everything you love about classic rnb Mariah while still feeling current and fresh. This is easily one of the best RnB albums of the 2010s. Mariah really shocked me when she put this out.
Best: 8th Grade, One Mo' Gen, The Distance
Worst: No.

02. Daydream
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/26/Daydream_mariah_carey.jpg
