-Mariah Carey's fourteenth album and ninth studio album.
-Certified 6x Platinum in
-Debuted at number one with the highest first-week sales of Mariah Carey's career
-The best selling album in

I'll "grade" the songs like how they grade us in school... heh. Just that an A1 is 85 and above, not 75....
Track Listing & Review
1. It's Like That (80/100) Grade: A2
-This upbeat song to start the album off has a nice beat to it and it's rather catchy, doesn't really show off Mariah's vocals though.
2. We Belong Together (95/100) Grade: A1
-This is my favourite song of the whole album. This was the number 1 song on the
3. Shake It Off (67/100) Grade: B3
- This song is nice, but easily forgotten. Still good though.
4. Mine Again (69/100) Grade: B3
- Shows off Mariah's impressive vocal power although it can get a little boring. Enjoy hearing the quality of her voice.
5. Say Somethin' (63/100) Grade: B4
- Has a nice start, but get's kinda repetitive. Also, Mariah whispers a lot in this song.
6. Stay The Night (79/100) Grade: A2
- Great song, It shows off her vocals and has a nice rhythm to it at the same time. However, it gets a LITTLE annoying when she keeps repeating "Keep on".
7. Get Your Number (61/100) Grade: B4
- Average song. That's all I have to say.
8. One And Only (55/100) Grade: C5
-Boring....
9. Circles (78/100) Grade: A2
- I like this song. It has a catchy melody. I love the part when she hits that REALLY high note. Haha.
10. Your Girl (80/100) Grade: A2
- This is another song with a wonderful beat and melody to it. One of the better songs on the album.
11. I Wish You Knew (82/100) Grade: A2
- This song is interesting. It's supposed to be a "live" performance. A nice change from the other songs. Again, the high note that she hits is just insane.... haha.
12. To The Floor (55/100) Grade: C5
- Don't really like this song. Kinda silly....
13. Joy Ride (79/100) Grade: A2
- This album consists of songs that are all similar. This song is no exception. However, the power chorus near the end gives it more "oomph" than the other songs.
14. Fly Like A Bird (94/100) A1
- This gospel-like anthem is a spectacular finish to this album. It starts off with Mariah whispering a most of the verses and the chorus but ends off with a POWER bridge with a choir and Mariah's falsetto notes. Mariah ends off by saying "Jesus" in her whistle voice. Great song. Watch her performance of this song during the grammys.
The average grade for this album is : A2
Yup. That's all
