Great feature Sam…thats why I love TGJ…always coming with that different ish. My picks are
1) Shake It Off
2) We Belong Together / WBT Remix
3) Circles
4) Don’t Forget About Us
5) It’s Like That
Beat that!
LOVE THE FEATURE!!!!
#1 It's Like That (launched the album right!)
#2 Don't Forget About Us
#3 We Belong Together
#4 We Belong Together rmx (earn her more credit on the R&B/Hip Hop charts)
#5 Sprung (perfect for summer 06)
Depending on the success of #5, a 6th single (Stay The Night) would have definitely closed out the album on the right note.. This album was awesome, and did pretty well with Mimi's single selection, but it definitely lost momentum with "Say Something" in the spring/summer because it wasn't a very good track for that time of the year. She could have capitalized more on the album's re-release, especially in the R&B/Hip Hop world.
Good feature for sure; I would have chosen the following…
1) Get Your Number
2) We Belong Together
3) Stay The Night
4) So Lonely (Part II Feat. Twista)
5) Circles
my bad.. i meant to say Spring/Summer 2005..
1. we belong together
2. get your number
3. one and only/ so lonely
4. circles
5. dont forget about us

1.Shake It Off…it would have had a chance to be number one had it not been up against Kanye.
2.We Belong Together…Obvious choice since of the success of it.
3.Dont Forget About Us…I don’t believe that DFAU would have made it to number one without WBT’s help. Hence it only makes sense to put it after a strong single and a single that sounds similar to it.
4.So Lonely…Hot single to finish out the summer.
5.I Wish You Knew…Slowing it down for the Fall/Winter.
I dont understand what the f*** your talking about sam
1. Sprung
2. We Belong Together
3. Say Something
4. Don’t Forget About Us
5. Shake It Off
6. Mine Again
I actually thought she made the right single choices for the most part
1. It’s Like That
2. We Belong Together
3. Shake It Off
4. Don’t Forget About Us
5. So Lonely
6. Say Somethin’ (to Pop)/Fly Like A Bird (to Urban)
** So Lonely was released by Twista (both had the song on their albums) and flopped so I don’t know if Mariah would’ve had better luck**
^^ Why do anonymous fk heads like dude 2 comments above me choose to spend the extra time and key strokes to knock down someone's creativity… Your mom didn't know wtf she was talking about before birthing your loser a$$.. If you wanna be negative, go look in the mirror and have a field day with yourself. Stop contributing to the overwhelming amount of hate in the world… geez.. If you don't wanna participate, move on.. Do like Mariah, & just Shake it Off..
I really do not think he meant anything by it.
But there are other nicer ways of expressing confusion…
I LOVE THIS SAM!!!
#1 WE BELONG TOGETHER
#2 MINE AGAIN
#3 SHAKE IT OFF
#4 ONE AND ONLY/SO LONELY
#5 STAY THE NIGHT
This new twist rocks!!!<3
1. We Belong Together (Main Version/Remix)
2. To The Floor (ft. Nelly)
3. So Lonley (ft. Twista)
4. Get Your Number
5. Shake It Off
6. It's Like That (R&B radio)/Circles (Pop radio)
I wish the label could have gotten sample clearance for “When I Feel It”, that song is so smooth and Mariah’s lyrical delivery was sick. It would have made a hot single off of Emancipation of Mimi. Unfortunately, the song has fallen into Unreleasedland.
Sam you’re a GENIOUS!
1. We Belong Together
2. Your Girl
3. I Wish You Knew (a Live Video Would Have Killed!)
4. Don’t Forget About Us
5. Stay The Night

The Twista song would have been a great single. But I think it’s the part II version/the 1 that was on his CD (Twista) that was better.
Overall the singles she chose were pretty good, I think were good. I really liked “Don’t Forget About Us.”
-K.
1.- Shake It Off
2.- Stay The Night
3.- We Belong Together
4.- Circles
5.- Don’t Forget About Us
1. It’s Like That (kinda liked that this eased Mariah back into the limelight)
2. We Belong Together (superstar again)
3. Shake It Off
4. Circles
5. Stay The Night
1. It’s Like That (can’t see how anyone could choose any other lead single for this album)
2. We Belong Together
3. Get Your Number
4. Say Somethin
5. One and Only
6. Fly Like a Bird
Can you do this for Welcome To The Dollhouse please? And B’Day? :]
1)We Belong Together
2)Shake It Off
3)Stay the Night
4)Mine Again
5)One and Only
6)Get Your Number
Please do this for Kelly, Mary J., and Janet (their latest CDs)!!
SAM ESPECIALLY NEEDS TO DO THIS FOR E=MC2….SHE KINDA LOST!!!
I don’t get it. EOM came out in 2005 and the singles were selected by the label so what is the purpose of this post. No one can rewrite history and the label’s single choices for this album were great.
1. So Lonely Feat. Twista
2. We Belong Together/Desert Storm Remix
3. Shake It Off
4. Stay The Night
5. Don’t Forget About Us
Stay The Night should have been a single over Shake It off. Such an amazing song and shows her strong vocals over a wicked beat. Fly Like a Bird might not have made a great radio hit as it is more gospel oriented. On the rerelease of Emancipation Makin’ It Last All Night would have made an excellent single.
I agree with one poster, please do the same for Janets, Marys and Kellys last cd’s
Your ideas stink Sam, no offense, the album would have definetly flopped if it was up to you.
I would do…
1) It’s Like That
2) We Belong Together
3) Shake It Off
4) Stay The Night
5) Don’t Forget About Us
6) Get Your Number
7)Say Somethin’
It’s a big album! Totally one of her best!
but i wished they released Stay the night and Circles…
Being the Mariah fanatic I am…I think of these things all of the time lol!
so…
1) its like that-I think that was the perfect choice to get the hype going for the album
2) We belong together-another great song that was one of the reasons for this album’s success
3)Stay the night-one of my favs off the album, not sure how well it would have done on radio though…even though i though shake it off was equally as good a single!
NOW…if the label had picked the singles for e=mc2 then they need to take a good look at themselves and say “WHY?” I love this album but BYE BYE for a single!?!?! Ill be loving you long time is a lil better than Bye Bye but still! What about Migrate and Side Effects! If Mariah made the descion…then I see why these were the singles…sometimes she doesn’t always choose the best ones lol I love this woman to death dont get me wrong but DAMN…
so…
lets root for an amazing single for the 4th one from e=mc2!
1. It’s Like That
2. We Belong Together
3. Stay The Night
4. Get Your Number
5. So Lonely
PS. What an amazing album. Every song is hot.
A lot of the songs are single worthy but here’s what i choose (not in order)…
-We Belong Together
-It’s Like That
-Shake It Off
-Mine Again
-Fly Like A Bird
-Your Girl
-Circles
-Don’t Forget About Us
-So Lonely (One And Only Part 2)
