Butterfly
Mariah Carey

This is trashy. Mariah has the best voice of this era and genere but does little to nothing with it. The production is fan service and does nothing to expand or challenge the audience. Yes, it's a move toward hip-hop but there's no one categorically to reckon with her. She's become an even bigger fish in this pond and it's sad. Her voice is so absolutely stunning and she picks THIS direction to go in? It's just sad she and her team could have clearly dominated any genere and just releases drivel instead. Wish I could give it no stars but that's not really an option. It goes without saying this album does not belong in the top thousand.
