- the only brilliant album of mariah
This is, in my opinion, the only brilliant album from mariah carey. if you don't know which album from her to buy, don't hesitate, this is the one. Here you will be able to listen to fantastic R&B and hip-hop songs never released in single, such as "the roof" and "babydoll". one of the most interessting songs that you will definately fall in love with is "the beautiful ones", originatelly released in the album purple rain, from prince. In this record mariah manages to sing in her own way in a duet with trey mantaining arrengements that makes you recall "purple rain". Sad, beautiful and brilliant are the words to describe this album. Buy it

- "It's just like honey..."
Mariah Carey released her Butterfly album at an interesting time in her life. She had just gotten divorced from her record executive husband of 4 years, and used this album as a statement of her independence and the start of a new chapter in her life and career.
Her albums up to this point were of a more pop sounding, adult contemporary nature, and were receiving huge airplay on radio stations. This time around, Mariah Carey decided to add a more R&B sound to her music, which works well for her. It also compliments many of the strongest tracks on this album. "Honey" is the funnest track on the album, which is incredibly catchy, "Butterfly" has some of the better lyrics of Mariah's writing career, "Fourth of July," while a blantant knockoff of "Underneath the Stars" from her Daydream album, is peaceful and romantic, "Breakdown" is slow and moody, and finally, "Babydoll" is very funky and seductive.
Despite the album having some of Mariah's most atmospheric and sexy music of her 18 year (and counting) career, the album does have some major flaws. For one thing, the songs tend to sound the same after a while, making it seem longer than it needs to be. Her vocals, while still good, were also beginning to show a little wear-and-tear at this point too.
All and all, though, this is a great album to relax to and set a calming mood. The album has become of Mariah's most revered releases, and a few listens can make anyone see why.
Rating: - Not as good as her previous albums.. 3.75 stars
I must say that Mariah Carey took a turning point and switched genres. Before this album, I would classify her music as R&B/Pop. And From Buttefly to E=MC2, I would classify her music as Hip-Hop/R&B. And While her music has been good since this album, it hasn't been the same Mariah introduced in 1990.
1. Honey is a hip-hop-ish song using samples and production by Sean Combs (Which, when working with Puffy/Diddy, you're most likely to get samples). Sean Combs speaks too much on this track. Plus, it seems a little too sexualized compared to Mariah's material on her previous 4 (Not counting the Holiday Album) albums. 4.5/10
2. "Butterfly" - A classic MC track which reminds me of the MC I was introduced to in 1990. 9/10
3. "Whenever You Call" Same as Butterfly - 9.5/10
4. Breakdown - A Hip-hop track with Krayzie Bone and Wish Bone but it works just like the O.D.B. (RIP) remix to "Fantasy" - 7.75/10
5. Beautiful Ones - A great Prince Remake with Dru Hill - 10/10
6. My All - A great soulful track reminding me of her previous material.
Butterfly and Rainbow seem very hip-hop orientend and it make me wonder if she'll ever release another Vision Of Love. Don't get me wrong, Mariah still releases good music, it's just not as good as her first 4 albums (Not counting Merry Christmas). It's still a good album but it's not worthy of a full 4 stars

Nothing new here!
More big hair, gratuitous midriff exposure, and a sex doll pout!
Somebody get me a kidney dish!

- A Giant Step Backwards
After watching American Idol tonight, and watching and hearing Mariah's newest release - a truly moving number - I'm ready to get back in her corner. It's been awhile.
As a huge Mariah Carey fan, I had always bought all of her albums, But this album, Butterfly, turned me off so much it took a long time to overome it. The opening song, Honey, was so bad, and the video so suggestive and vulgar,
that I was turned off for years, and haven't bought a Mariah album since.
I know that wasn't fair - though not unlike the downturn another favorite, Olivia Newton-John took for several albums. But she has matured in recent years, and is again one of my favorites. So maybe the Mariah I missed is back. I still cannot recommend this album - I believe it is by far one of her worst.
But Mariah is still an incredible talent, and "Bye Bye" is so good, I may give "Butterfly another chance!!!
