Digital Spy分析"Bye Bye"在美国"失利"的原因
Bad News for Mariah Carey

While champagne corks are popping at the Ne-Yo residence, vases will be flying at Mariah Carey Towers. The second single from her E=MC2 album, ‘Bye Bye’, is shaping up to be an almighty flop, with its final chart position likely to fall somewhere been 25 and 30. Only one of Mariah’s post-Glitter singles has charted this low: ‘Say Somethin’, which at least had the excuse of being the fifth single from its album.
What’s gone wrong? Well, the general consensus is that ‘Bye Bye’ is a little bit Mariah-by-numbers. It’s a safe, schmaltzy R&B ballad that’s precision-tooled for US radio, but ironically enough US radio doesn’t seem too keen on it, causing ‘Bye Bye’ to perform poorly across the pond too.
Nevertheless, Mariah fans can console themselves with this thought: the ‘Bye Bye’ blunder should persuade her to choose more adventurous singles in the future. She’s plumped for another ballad as E=MC2’s third single, but maybe we could have ‘Migrate’, the album’s Danja-produced club tune, after that?
