A remix is just that, a remix. I think you guys are giving this much more importance than it deserves. If Bye-Bye reaches number one, it will be on the
strength of the original. The remix is suppose to be icing, that is all. So she heasn't come through with a great one yet, boohoo... Ya'll keep
forgetting, Mariah has her own taste to. She probably LOVES this remix, as well as JD's involvement.
But I digress. I said from day one that Bye-Bye was a "label" choice, a safe choice to propel sales( no one believed me, everyone was in defense mode
at the time). I don't think there's anyway in hell this was Mariah's first choice as a second single. Mariah was out there PERFORMING the tracks
that she wants as singles, and Bye-Bye wasn't one of them. Why else did she run and slap out a remix so quickly? Mariah wants URBAN not SAFE.
Bye-Bye will share a similar fate that TGIFY did. It will hit #1 for a week, then disappear into oblivion. It's a good, safe song that won't offend any
of Mariah's core base, or record buying public. It's also boring as hell, if for no other reason than we have been here before. But don't just
blame Mariah for this. No song gets by IDJ without their final approval.
