Amazing Collection of Mariah's Hits...

I myself have also purchased the Japanese edition of the "Greatest Hits" album. I actually bought mine in a store here in New York City but still had the urge to leave a review. This CD almost completely covers every hit Mariah has ever released, however, there are some singles missing that I would consider essential to the collection. Has anyone realized that Breakdown, The Roof (Both from the "Butterfly" [1997] album) and "Crybaby" (from Rainbow [1999]) are missing?? All three songs had videos and offical CD singles issued in the United States. I would say that's enough information to add them to this album. I know that CD's can only hold up to 80 minutes of music but I'm sure there could have been something done to include all, maybe editing some songs that are repetitive during the endings to allow space for these 3 great songs. I personally don't see why "Underneath The Stars" was added but I know it was released in Australia. All in all, the Japanese edition of Mariah's Greatest Hits is an incredible album and much better than any other international version out there seeing as it has 6 more tracks (Which includes the original "All I Want For Christmas Is You" which should have been included on the US one). The price may be too expensive for most, but this is a must have for any Mariah fan or anyone who enjoys a beautiful voice with amazing music. Buy this and it will perfectly accentuate your CD collection. Mariah is here to stay. I LOVE YOU MARIAH!!!!!!!!!

Perfect!

Sony records Japan did a superb job on this collection of hits. Every song that SHOULD be on Mariah Carey's Greatest Hits is here. Stand outs like "Open arms", "Take a look at me now (w/ Westlife)", "Never too far/Hero medley", and "All i want for Christmas (original version)" make this a MUST HAVE. The U.S. edition is almost pitiful when compared to this. This time there was some serious thought and concern put into it. I'm sure all the other Mariah fans will agree with me on this point. Dont let the cost deter you, this set is worth the extra money. If you only have a few Mariah discs and you're looking to get a complete set, this is the collection for you. It comes in a larger case (unlike the standard US edition), and includes lyrics.
