I'd remove One Minute, Don't Waste Your Time, Yeah, How I Feel, and Haunted. I love all the songs except Flop Minute but I think the album didn't need them anyway.

HIF?! that's one of my favorites from MD! i'd remove...
Hole - just because it's SO rock and raw that it's a bit out of my style range... and the melody of the chorus is like, one note lol.
Haunted - it's just very forgettable to me. the verses and bridge are very good, but i hate the chorus. it ruins everything else good about the song.
Yeah - it's just not a very good song. don't know what anyone was thinking with this one.
Don't Waste My Time - i really like this song, but it could definitely have been replaced with a better uptempo if they were going to put more radio-friendly songs on the album.
One Minute - the same way as DWYT. it's pretty good, and i do enjoy it, but it's definitely replaceable and not anywhere near Kelly's great uptempo breakup songs.
and the songs that would be put on the album would definitely need to fit the album's style lyrically but be more radio friendly, obviously. no happy-go-lucky songs. and remove Fading and Dirty Little Secret from the bonus/deluxe editions and replace them with Haunted and Don't Waste Your Time (but keep Not Today

.
i almost wish they had done this... i could've lived without ever hearing Hole, Yeah, One Minute, Fading, or Dirty Little Secret... none of them are anywhere close to my favorites from the MD era. the album would've sold more, they could've continued the era much longer... Sober could've been an awesome ballad for a third single after Never Again and then a radio song. it also would've had a beautiful music video... yep. but honestly, if they had just put ONE radio friendly song as the second single, i think it would've saved the whole era and they could've released Sober and HIF as 3rd and 4th singles.
