Good but "Never Too Far" is better.

The fact that no one recognized ANY of the ballads or uptempo tunes from the "Glitter" soundtrack makes me angry. "Glitter" was a great album from her. When I heard "Through The Rain" I knew Mariah was back, but then I heard "Charmbracelet" and it was NOT filled with this type of material which was a dissapointment. After being criticized constantly for "overusing" her voice she finally doesn't but it sounds pretty bad. I think she needs to take a long break and come back in 2 or 3 years. She needs another catchy single like "Honey", "Fantasy" and "Dreamlover." She also needs to loose the rappers and put more ballads on her CD's. "Never Too Far" and "Reflections" were BY FAR MUCH BETTER BALLADS then the two here. It's a shame "Glitter"'s soundtrack didn't debut as well as "Charmbracelet" but even after her most recent CD came out, she was nowhere to be found. I mean come on "Boy I need You"? I thought this was supposed to be the new, mature Mariah. I'm sorry Mariah but I am just looking out for your success and I think there needs to be more ballads like "Never Too Far." How about releasing "I only wanted" or "You Got Me" (Without the raps) as a single?

Maybe the best ballad from Mariah in years

"Through The Rain" is a powerful and inspirational song from Mariah Carey. It is the perfect comeback after everything Carey went through prior to the release of the Charmbracelet CD - Mariah proves on this song that she hasn't lost a thing when it comes to blowing up a ballad with her 8 octive rage - Although most people critize Mariah for her voice, she keeps it under control in this song, not running all over the place and I promise, there's no screaming on this one - This CD Single also includes Mariah's latest release "Bringin on the Heartbreak" a cover from Def Leppard's version - That song is also tastefully done -

You Don't Have It Yet!

I think the title of my review says it all, but by now you should know that this single, that is extremely low-priced, contains 2 hit singles from the diva: THROUGH THE RAIN (in 2 versions) and BRINGIN' ON THE HEARTBREAK (in an excellent live version), which got some decent airplay last summer and is now climbing the dance charts with its impressive remixes.
