Top 10 Best Songs On Mariah Carey's Glitter

You've heard the jokes. You've seen the reviews. But if you've actually listened to Glitter, you know there's more here than punchlines and pink eyeshadow. This soundtrack isn't just a background to a movie that missed the mark. It's Mariah Carey doing what Mariah Carey does: throwing vocal grenades, layering harmonies like a cake with too much frosting (in the best way), and going full throttle on early 2000s pop-R&B swagger.

The songs? They're loaded with drama, sugar, ache, and yes, glitter. There's that classic Butterfly-era vulnerability, vocal runs that don't know when to quit, and beats that scream "turn-of-the-millennium club scene." You've got slow burns, you've got bops, and you've got tracks that would've ruled TRL if the timing had been kinder.

So here's your chance. Vote for the ones that still get stuck in your head, the ones you played when no one else would admit they liked them. The songs that remind you why you never counted Mariah out in the first place.

The Top Ten

  1. Never Too Far

    If this song had been released as a single in the 1990s, it would have gone to #1 on the Hot 100. Classic Carey.

  2. Lead the Way

    One of Mariah's best ballads and one of her finest vocal performances (which is saying something). It deserved the Oscar for Best Original Song. This song was written during the Butterfly era.

    Either this or "Never Too Far," but I personally prefer this.

  3. Loverboy

    The movie was awful, but the soundtrack was surprisingly good.

    Sabotaged by Tommy and Jennifer.

  4. All My Life

    Sexiest song ever. Her voice is so seductive in this groovy late-night jam!

  5. Reflections (Care Enough)

    Truly an awesome song, and I'm not afraid to admit I loved the movie also.

    Amazing song. Deep, deep meaning. Have a listen.

  6. Didn't Mean to Turn You On

    My favorite song from the soundtrack/album. Surprisingly, the movie was really good too.

    Well, Mariah, you did!

  7. If We

  8. Last Night a DJ Saved My Life

    Another sexy song! Her voice was incredibly sensual in songs from this era.

  9. Twister

  10. Want You

    11. The Contenders

  11. Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica)
