I'm so sick and tired of people jumping on everyone who thinks Bye Bye is a bad single choice. We have a right to voice our opinion and say how we're
disappointed with Bye Bye being released and how TERRIBLY inadequate the BB Remix is just as much as the people who love the song and think its the best single
choice have the right to say that.
Stop f*cking jumping down peoples throats because we disagree how this exquisite album is being promoted with a lackluster, safe 2nd single and an even worse
remix.
I agree with this:
It's not much Mariah than the record company IMO.
As sad as it is, she has become to IDJ what she was to Sony : their CASH COW.
Considering the health of the industry they don't want to risk anything. Hence those boring, predictable single choices that i fear will backfire.
Now, i love Bye Bye as an album track, i think it's a great song, but i think its the worst single she could have picked. And i have a right to that
opinion just as much as anyone else has the right to refute me. I hope Bye Bye becomes a hit for Mariah, but i won't be surprised at all if it doesn't,
and since all ya'll are so quick to jump down our throats about us not liking Bye Bye as a single and saying we don't know what we're talking
about, then i won't hesitate to be the first one to say "told you so" if Bye Bye doesn't do what IDJ is expecting. And you all are FOOLISH to
believe that IDJ
isn't expecting this to blow up ala WBT, because you know they want success beyond success, and
if it fails, i know everyone here will be saying "she released an artistic song, it was a risky single because it was about death" -- well bullcrap,
it's the safest song on the album, and a total cop-out, not to mention it's not fair to the 9 or 10 single-worthy songs on the album.
