01. How can some of you say this album isn't personal? Maybe not EVERY song is "deep", but there are definitely personal songs on the record (Side Effects, For The Record, I Wish You Well, and yes, Bye Bye as well). I realize some of you don't see the lyrics to Bye Bye as "deep or personal" (ie with all the shout outs in the song)......but the verses, they are some of the most personal mariah has ever written imo.

02. What does "personal or deep" mean anyway? If a fan connects with a song, then isn't that "personal." A lot of the lyrics may not rival Butterfly depth, and you know what? That's ok! Because the few songs that are personal, you can tell, they came from mariah's heart.
