However, Planned Properly, I Could Still Have Been A Success. For Instance, They Released Bye BYe Whilst Touch My Body Was Still In The Top Ten Of The Billboard Hot 100. Also They Released Bye Bye to US Radio And Digital Retailers At The Same Time, Which is unusual, as most singles in the US receive at least a months worth of airplay befor being released as downloads, in order to help chart positions. To sum up, although Bye Bye was not an out-of-this-world success, and although it was not a brilliant single choice it could have achieved at least Top 10 status if the release was handled more carefully. In my opinion, if they wanted to score Mariah's 19th US number-one single, Migrate should have been released. It has that Hip-Hop vibe that the US is feeling at the moment, plus T-Pain makes an appearance on the song, and he is extremely popular in the US This Is My Opinion:

Her voice is just precious! I love the E=MC2! I think that what happens is that she has done about everything with her voice and beautiful songs,that people are expecting even more from her. But let's be honest, there is no women singer in this world that can sing or write liker her and have #1's in almost all the cd's she has. Nobody has been able to do this ever in history!!!! So let's show some respect for this diva, she is has a gifted voice no matter ehat she sings.. God bless you MC and We are LAMBS forever!! I just love Mariah Carey! Her voice is just precious!

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 22:24:00 +0000 http://thatgrapejuice.net/new/?p=1905#comment-17383 Okay, heres my look on it. Im like the biggest Mariah Carey fan i know [lol] and im a STRAIGHT guy you know. If you look at Mariah's work from the past, best example being Butterfly, she really didnt have the depth lyrically that she had on that album. Like people really felt her songs before because they were deep, they like touched people. Honestly this was a good concept but its wack compared to her other work. Dont get me wrong i still listen to the song but it isnt up to par with what shes able to do. Honestly i think she should go back at what i think is her best album, Butterfly. There was what i thought all potential #1's [i.e, Breakdown, Whenever You Call, Honey]. It was like the perfect blend of R&B, Soul, and a hip hop feel to. There are some songs on her newest LP that are hit-worthy [ex. Cruise Control, Side Effects, and Love Story]. If she were to come out with Love Story, i think she should make it an acoustic version, but thats because i like the acoustic version lol. Basically if she goes back lyrically and performance wise, she'll be back to the Mariah we all know and (still) love Okay, heres my look on it.

Ok. But is a great song. Maybe not for single. But a good song. Makes me cry and all of you are an assholes, like this blog now. Mariah is the most succesfull female artist ever with 18 number 1 hits. Michelle Williams is a flop singer like "We Break The Dawn" is flop. Bye Bye is another top 20 hit. HIT. Not FLOP. F*** you all! Bye Bye it’s not a “We Belong Together”. Ok. But is a great song. Maybe not for single. But a good song. Makes me cry and all of you are an assholes, like this blog now.

"That Chick" has summer hit all over it. <br/><br/>Single order should have been<br/>Migrate<br/>Touch My Body<br/>That Chick<br/>Stay In Love<br/>For the Record I actually like Bye Bye but i agree with most of the people in here its shouldnt have been the second single. “That Chick” has summer hit all over it.

Single order should have been
Migrate
Touch My Body
That Chick
Stay In Love
For the Record

It's no surprise at ALL that "Bye Bye" is going bye-bye. I find Mariah’s entire album an uninspired duplication of her previous efforts. It’s no surprise at ALL that “Bye Bye” is going bye-bye.
