The fact that Touch My Body is 15 years old...dear god.
I'm so needing new music from Mariah that isn't gonna be festive related too.
I'm truly jealous all round there-lucky Lamb indeed!
The last two singles from EMC=2, are so underrated.
I like I Stay In Love but I would've loved her to go with Side Effects as something a bit different. There are so many great tracks on that album though.
Oh sure, lots of lost single choices. Side Effects and I'm That Chick for me especially so.
Kelly Clarkson was stanning Side Effects on that podcast she did with those two gays a few days ago. Talent supporting talent!
Eleven singles? Ddd
I enjoy E=MC2 but I think it was a mistake promoting it as a direct sequel to The Emancipation of Mimi (which is leagues ahead of it) because lots of people compare them see it as sort of a 'sophomore slump'. Side Effects and Migrate are both discography highlights.
Might be unpopular but I absolutely love Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel and I return to it as a whole much more than E=MC2.
That's quite a run there, and one that I would have happily like to have seen/had!

I think Last Kiss, Love Story, and Thanx 4 Nothin' are all cut from the same cloth and she only needed to keep one of the three (my personal preference being Thanx 4 Nothin'), the album becomes much tighter when you lose two of them.
E=MC2 has never been one of my top-tier favourites for whatever reason but it is undoubtedly the album of hers that had the most single options since her debut. It's such a shame the way things played out with that campaign.

The correct answer is actually to keep Last Kiss, which contains the line “boy you know we trill so stop frontin’”.

Fair, but counter-argument for Thanx 4 Nothin':
Seems like all I do is think about our pseudo romance
While you're somewhere burning diesel in the streets having laughs
A Classic Mariah Lyrical Moment™ to rhyme "pseudo romance" with "having laughs"!
Touch My Body continues to go viral on TikTok. It’s interesting that most of her bigger TikTok moments have been from her post-Emancipation discography (Obsessed, It’s a Wrap, Touch My Body…)
