I think people dislike it because Mariah dislikes it so much. I guess it can kind of put a damper on it for some people (fans) because she's confirmed that
it really wasn't "her". If anything, to me it's a testiment to just what a fantastic artist Mariah is. Even when she was a position where she
wasn't able to really make music that she really liked, she still managed to great an album that touched so many people with easy-to-relate lyrics,
beautiful melodies and, given the context, a surprisingly emotional vocal performance.
