[And Now I Wonder]

We have all lamented how Bye Bye was a bad choice and ruined E=MC^2, and how Migrate would have continued her streak, but do you think it would have reached the Top 10 and helped E=MC^2 continue to sell?

[Duca]

It would have gone #1 had it been the follow-up to 'Touch My Body.' 'Side Effects' was a potential #1 as well.

I'm still mad 'I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time' was so overlooked.

[Fantasy]

It should have lead the era, with 'Side Effects' then being released second.

[manwhore]

This song was ********-rocks why this gem was overlooked? Bc of the auto tune? At this point in her career she is given the exception and allowed to play around with it.

YES. Especially since she gave one of the best PERFORMANCES of her career with this song:

[fortheloveofmusic]

Yes!!! Even Mariah knows it would of been her 19th #1. She should of milked the **** out of that album and get all of the number ones she could because now it won't be that easy.

"Migrate" was a unique song. The way she used her whistle notes in the beginning over the beat with the "bounce bounce bounce " it would of been a club megahit lol added to the fact that T-pain was doing well in 2008. She would of had another #1.

"For the Record"/"Thanx 4 Nothin" should of been the third single. I also liked "Cruise Control" It would of been a 106&Park hit lmao

All of this.

[supertiffany]

i dont know why they havent release and promote the album properly.

[Doc]

Of course. Migrate was perfect for the music climate at the time. Why it wasn't released, I don't know.

This.

E=MC2 was so freaking full of potential hits.
How they managed to **** up each and every one of the single releases besides TMB is beyond me.

[Nacho]

Yes. Migrate is flawless

Her label didn't want to release it, she did though

[slw84]

With 20 seconds less of Tpain it would have.
Summer smash and then release Bye bye in the fall.
silly label.

[FAN]

I was SO mad when they didn't release it and put out the ****** Love You Long Time or whatever it's called.

[Kworb]

Yes. Migrate would've been huge.

[Space]

this was my ****ing sooooooooong. I'll never understand why they didn't release it, it's amazing

'I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time' is one of the greatest songs she has ever recorded.

My thoughts exactly.

And wasn't it Perez who said "Migrate" would flop, causing Mariah to release "Bye Bye"?

Exactly. To this day I am devastated that did not smash HARD. It was the definition of a summer song, perfect in every way.


And to the thread question, yes. Migrate probably would've hit #1 if released after TMB, even though I've never liked it.

[richa70]

That ill be loving you long time live video . That was the best performance Ever , that song deserved a #1 ...
