"The reason why Mariah Carey has so many #1's is because she puts out great singles, and this is not an exception! This is her third single from the multi-platinum, award-winning Rainbow album. Here are the track listing to the single:1 Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) 2 Crybaby (featuring Snoop Dogg) 3 Heartbreaker/Love HangoverNow I am gonna describe the sogs for you. The first song on the single "Can't Take That Away" has become one of my most favorite songs by Mariah and one of Mariah's most favorite songs by her! The song has amazing lyrics and her vocals are outstanding. What's even more amazing is that Maiah wrote and co-produced the song her self. To me (and probably millions of other Mariah fans) this is her most inspirational song. And I just love when she puts out these great ballads (like "Hero", "Butterfly", "Whenever You Call".) To me, the song is saying that no one can take away a persons pride or honor or dreams. This song also features musical efforts by one of the most talented and successful musicians/producers of modern pop and R&B music: Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. They have worked with some of the biggest artists in music like: Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, TLC and Boyz II Men. The talents of one of the biggest and most popular songwritersm, Diane Warren, is also added on "Can't Take That Away". Diane Warren has written chart-topping music for many artists like Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and Christina Aguilera ( I Turn To You). On this song, she co-writes the music with Mariah Carey. Okay, now for the 2nd song on the single. It is "Crybaby". I just fell in love with this song when I heard it. This is also one of Mariah's favorite songs. I love "Crybaby" so much because of the strong R&B sound on it. This is just one of those songs that can prove that Mariah isn't only a pop artist , but also an excellent R&B artist. And Mariah's vocals are amazing on thsi song (as usual). I also love SNoop Dogg's rap on "Crybaby". This song is written and produced by Mariah and Damizza. Damizza has worked with Mariah on the "I Still Believe" Remix (Pure Imagination). That's one of my most favorite remixes by her. The last song is definitely my favorite on the single. It's the new Heartbreaker Remix. And in my opinion better than the last remix (with Missy and Da Brat). But don't get me wrong the other remix is also really really great. BUt this remix is JUST AMAZING! The song is to the tune of "Love Hangover" (by Diana Ross). And at the end of the song, Mariah does her real high voice so well! This song is live from Diva's 2000. I saw Mariah perform this song and she looked so good and sung so well. There were dancers and everything at the performance. At the end of the performance, everyone was cheering and standing. This is really one of her most incredible live songs ever (and "I'll Be There" from MTV Unplugged. It just shows you that Mariah can do just as well (if not better!) live. This single is gonna go to #1 and be amazing. Way to go Mariah"

EXCELLENT CD SINGLE! A MUST HAVE!!

"Okay, when I first unwrapped this CD Single, I did not think it was going to be at all as good as the 'Can't Take That Away' Maxi CD Single, but I was proven wrong! It rocked! If you're not into the whole club music theme, get this one instead of the 'Can't Take That Away/Crybaby' Maxi CD Single.



1) Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme): This song is extremely powerful vocal wise and is life changing lyrically. After listening to this song, you will feel motivated and feel better about who you are as a person.



2) Crybaby - Personally, this is my favorite Mariah Carey song. Damizza produced it, so you know it has a crazy beat to it. Even though it is hip-hop edged, it really showcases Mariah's incredible vocal range, unlike most of Carey's hip-hop songs, and it's long too, more than 5 minutes in length, you will still want to hear more. The fact that Snoop is on it makes it more better!



3) Love Hangover/Heartbreaker - I believe this is from Diva's Live '00. She covers the Diana Ross song and then it turns into a Heartbreaker remix performance! It is really neat!



Even though Crybaby outshines Can't Take That Away in catchiness, they are both two pieces of incredible work, and don't let the girly cover fool you. Guys can relate to both 'Can't Take That Away' and 'Crybaby' as well!"

An uplifting ballad

"Mariah's fourth single from one of her best albums "Rainbow" is really something special: one of the few songs which always can fill my heart with hope when I am down. This is a song everybody should listen at least once.
The single contains two further tracks: the melancholic R'n'B ballad "Crybaby" (also from "Rainbow") and a version of "Heartbreaker" mixed with Diana Ross's "Love Hangover". This song is released only in this single."
