"Mariah's albums during 1999-2003 were largely flops, most notably "Glitter" and "Charmbracelet". Then in 2005 came the album "The Emancipation Of Mimi". The first single "It's Like That" was a modest success and hailed the return of Mariah, but then she released this. "We Belong Together" started a long reign at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and became her 16th #1.



I was amazed by this song, I have never really been a fan of Mariah's though now I definitely plan to buy more albums from her. This song totally caught me out, I found the first single off this album rather average yet this song was simply stunning.



I picked this CD up just yesterday and have been listening to it ever since. I think the remixes are amazing as well, especially the "It's Like That" one featuring Fat Joe. But as a song this has some glorious moments, the most distinguished one being the stunning bridge. Her vocal range is an amazing 5 octaves and the bridge is no trouble for her. She seems to be singing in the whistle register. The chorus is really nice to and the piano intro is superb. The way she crafts other songs into this one is great and shows a little bit of diversity.



- "We Belong Together (Main Version)" 10/10

- "We Belong Together (Reconstruction Radio Mix)" 10/10

- "It's Like That (Remix ft. Fat Joe)" 10/10



I thoroughly recommend this song to anybody though the remixes are perfect the original hit is in a class of its own. She may have stiff competition from Madonna's next single "Hung Up" later in the year as the best song of 2005 but for now it is Mariah's year, and time to shine.

"Pay no attention to the haters who leave negative messages. It's wierd they even took the time to write negative stuff but I am wierd too so I will write a little negativity. These people are J.Low fans who can't accept the fact that Mariah will always be better in the world of music than J.Ho could ever be."
