Against All Odds

Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) is one of her best remakes. To be honest, I think it's only second to Without You on Music Box (1993).Crybaby is an R&B classic in my eyes. Snoop and Mariah when in the studio do absolutely *no* wrong.Lastly, Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme***) is one of Mariah's most heart-warming uplifting affairs. Very rare to see songs like this these days (2007 and beyond).<3<3<3

All tumbs up for Miss Carey for her tremendously and meticulous effort in putting all the songs together. 5 stars is not enough for me to express my appreciation for this album.Mariah has done exceptionally well in this single and I must say I love it so so much, she has indeed done herself proud.Against All Odds: A proud remake of Phil Collins classic, and I must say that Mariah has outshine Phil himself. And for the first time she is not over-expressing her vocal pyrotechnics.Crybaby: Groovy and tangy R & B song, one of the best in the Rainbow album.Thank God I Found You: This is definitely my fave, my all time fave, ever since "The Roof's Mobb Deep Extended Mix" I have not heard other better remix from Mariah, until I heard the "Stargate Radio Edit" (even the name stands out), I am completely drawn to this song again, and in my own opinion, I feel that this remix is better than the original one. And should actually replaced the cover version. This track is so outstanding that you can't miss it.Can't Take That Away: After reading some of the reviews, I must agree that this song is one of those that does not actually need a remix, the lyrics is too 'strong' and too 'slow tempo' for a 'fast tempo' music. And unfortunately this remix is a flop, but the original version is great, and the lyrics is really really meaningful and inspiring.No matter whether this CD is an EP or a single, I must say again its a sure 'must-buy' item for this season.

To be really honest I never did like this track a lot when I heard the Phil Collins version. But then I heard that Mariah was going to do this track and I was a little excited. I heard Mariah's solo version of this track on her album and I really loved it. I thought she did a wonderful job of it and then I was told that she was going to pair up with Westlife and Im like...bah...another boyband....but really I was pleasantly surprised with the end result. This boyband can REALLY sing...Its amazing...their voices blend with Mariah's high soaring vocals to deliver a wonderful duet.Infact Carey takes this song one step higher by adding to it her soul and emotion (like she does all songs). With the Phil Collins version you hear him, but you dont feel what he's trying to say. With Mariah's five octave spanning voice...you hear her alright...this diva wouldnt have it any other way.This song stayed # 1 for two weeks on the UK charts and gave Mariah her second number one single there. I would recommend this single to anyone. It's a rare collector's item and is not available for sale in the United States.

I'm wondering why Westlife isn't popular in the United States, as their voices in the song are a LOT more well-trained then such American acts as *N Sync and Backstreet Boys (Thank God the only Boy Band from the US she did collaboration was with 98 Degrees whose voices are much better then N Sync, etc). I am glad that she did this re-make and honestly I hate the original version...I didn't even know it was a Phil Collins song. the first time I heard it was with Mariah singing it, and then when I heard the original I found myself asking "What the hell is this?" (Same thing with "Lady Marmalade" orig. version and re-make) because it's just so much better (Maybe because the other one is kind of outdated?). Anyways I thought the solo version on Rainbow was great but this one was even better. Why can't we have boy bands like this in the U.S? They are together in this album and it's a shame it wasn't released in the states. A must have for any Mariah Carey, West Life and of course Phil Collins fan (That is if you can stand the fact that someone that has a *gasp* better voice then him and made a remake of a classic). Buy this album or download the single or something. Incredible!!

Mariah Carey has had a long successful career as a singer, writer, and now an actor. She has had 15 #1 hits, and what better way to come back to the public and fans by singing a classic hit by the legend, Phil Collins. Against All Odds is a great song, and no one today, but Mariah, could sing this song as great as Phil Collins did. To make the song even better, the irish boyband Westlife is featured in it. With the eligant voice of Mariah and the hip boyband sound of Westlife, this song is a sure #1 hit. Against All Odds is already on top of the charts in England and the UK, and keeps on rising higher and higher. If you are a Mariah fan or Westlife fan, then this is a must-have cd. It includes four tracks: Against All Odds( Take A Look At Me Now)[regular version]. Two remixes: Mariah Only Version & Pound Boys Main Mix + Audio Interview with Westlife. You get all of this and more if you but this cd. It might only have 4 singles on it, but I listen to it all the time. If you love Mariah or her music, then you need to buy this cd. It will help Mariah's new song come on the radios in the United States, so please help Mariah, and make this her 16th #1 hit!!!!!

Okay, i am a huge Mariah fan, and i am also a westlife fan - and i loved this on the Rainbow cd, and i was excited that Westlife and Mariah were duetting on it - imagine my horror when i first heard the final production of the song, Oh! no, although it didn't stop this cd getting to No.1 in the UK chart, Mariah should have released the solo version which is emotionally fantastic, touching all the raw nerves in the body too take note and listen, but Westlife and Mariah disaster - Mariah alone....top marks.

All right!
