Grade: B+
Decry it as a crass fourth-quarter repackaging stunt, but then go out and pick up Mariah Carey's The Emancipation of Mimi: Ultra Platinum Edition (with four additional songs), which actually improves on the original. For one, it's the only place to pick up the new chart-climbing ballad ''Don't Forget About Us,'' plus it's got the clubby silk-meets-sandpaper remix of ''We Belong Together.'' There's also a special edition available with a bonus DVD. With just four music videos, it's skimpy, but the two over-the-top clips featuring Eric Roberts as a sleazy sugar daddy make up for it.
Note: Entertainment Weekly has increased the grade from a B. Read the review of the original "The Emancipation of Mimi" by clicking here (http://www.mariahdaily.com/corantofiles/news-archive-4-2005.shtml#newsitemEEEkAupAkZOFZuycTr).
