I wince at Mariah's album sales because I know this album had potential to sell over 2 million but SHE blew it. "Bye Bye" is not a good song and a forced attempt to recreate "One Sweet Day" while all of the other ballads are carbon copies of "We Belong Together" and "Don't Forget Abut Us".

"Enjoy" is a fan favorite but it wouldn't have done anything at all--a bit too campy, too happy, a little bland for the general public. "Call On Me," while extremely boring, was a smart choice because it cinched the urban market and brought her a top 30 hit. "Feedback" was so much better, and it should've showed on the charts, instead of only improving by 6 spaces. I'm excited for the next album if only because her voice is so much stronger right now than it was when she recorded
Discipline.
I think "Don't Forget About Us" is a terrible song
