What Parents Need to Know

About The Emancipation of Mimi

Parents need to know that Mariah Carey has the clout -- and sales figures -- to get the best of everything. That said, this album is impeccably produced and beautifully performed with very little actual content to get in the way. If you like pop divas and glossy ear candy, this will be a favorite.
