No one is forced or tricked to buy anything, so it's not a fraud. If someone wants to buy 50 different versions of the exact same album, I'd say it's smart move to offer them.

I wish there were more standouts. It's a good album, and on the other hand there are no skips, but there's not that many standouts either. When I listen the album, I like it and I think the songs are good, but afterwards I don't really remember most of the songs. Taylor's albums used to be very varied with different styles and productions, sometimes even too much, but now it's the opposite. 

Do you consider Midnights a concept album or a "normal" album?

Has there been any rumours for Ray Of Light 25th Anniversary? It would be a shame if there wasn't anything.

I think Rebel Heart album would have required more work. Some songs deserved better production and more finishing. Material was better than the album, it needed a stronger artistic vision... it was a bit mess. However, I still like it a lot.

Of course ATW should be the lead single, it's fan favorite and it's also great choice for her new Folklore fans. 

I thought she was planning to release re-recorded albums more frequently, didn't she say that in some interview? Maybe I have misunderstood. If she has changed her original plan, it would be interesting to know why, and what they are planning now.

1. Daydream
2. Mariah Carey
3. Butterfly
4. Music Box
5. Emotions
6. Rainbow

I have to listen more, but at first listen I'm not a big fan of this album. I think her new more down to earth image is a very good and necessary change, and I think this new music style is good as well. However, those songs aren't as good as I'd expect from her... they're just too average. 

I'm not a big fan of this album. There are some songs that I like, but overall it's just not for my taste. I guess "American Oxygen" stays as my favorite from this era, although it's not included to the album.

I love the S&S version!!! It's so chillingly flamboyant. That version should be in the dictionary describing "epic".

It's really good video, and it made me like the song more than before.

She's so boring and predictable nowadays. 

Not in order:

Madonna - Ray Of Light

Janet - Velvet Rope

Gloria Estefan - Gloria!

Kenny Chesney - When The Sun Goes Down

Leona Lewis - Spirit

Nickelback - All The Right Reasons

Michael Jackson - History

Mariah Carey - Daydream

Roxette - Crash! Boom! Bang!

Ace Of Base - The Bridge

She looks good, but that's the only good thing about the video. Horribly outdated, really awkward product placement... 

I think the 'Beyonce' concept just isn't something Mariah would do. She's definitely not a visual artist and she's not big enough to release a surprise album like Beyonce did. Maybe she's talking about a song and its music video, not the whole album project? If that's the case, I predict it's "I Luh Ya Papi" - the song and the video are something Mariah could do.

It's epic! However, there's so much content and ideas that it's a shame it's not longer. It's weird that they didn't make it longer than that, extended version of the song with Kendrick's rap & all Taylor's vocals from album version could have easily made it to 6-8 minutes.

Usually I'm not fan of long music videos, but in this case the video screams for it.

I haven't followed what's going on with her... is there a new album coming and this is the lead single or is this some random song?

I think Madonna's Unapologetic Bitch would be a great choice for a duet with Rihanna, maybe Madonna's next single?

... and soon Apple will be using same strategy, when they're launching their own streaming service. There has already been rumors that Apple wants exclusive tracks from labels, same way as Tidal uses exclusives. Double standards, eh?

It's slightly better than the other stuff she's done recently, but as someone said earlier, it sounds very much the same as other Mariah tracks. She really needs a radical change, she needs to work with new people and dump all the old ones, because they just keep recycling that old success formula, which is very outdated nowadays.

I hope this new collection and Las Vegas shows are the end of an era for her and she re-invents herself for the next album.

Even with itunes quality the song sounds noisy, LQ and badly mixed. Giving me Lotus tea.

I guess in this case that's intentional, they want it to sound rough and authentic.

I like the song, but I wonder how the lyrics will work outside USA... 

Tracklist is quite obvious, but why they keep putting that Fantasy remix to all of her collections? I get it - that remix is an important part of her career, but it loses too much elements of original "Fantasy", and especially outside USA that original version was definitely the main version.

... and because it's #1's, what is an unplugged version of "Someday" doing there? That wasn't #1, the original album version was.
