I'm thinking this is why they left "Feelin' My A" off the album, to push more pop-oriented songs, but Urban would eat up a song like that.

There you go! Some people expected her to be able to keep her urban fanbase, and gain a huge pop audience but it backfired (Should Jive be the one to blame or no? lol). Turns out that she may have lost some of her original fanbase when 'Love Sex Magic' came around (even though it's done WAY better than Never Ever in the past). Not to mention her promo sucks ass. Her team waited until the day before to start promoting this album in the US. The sales would only pick up by the second week.
I personally love the slight-changes she made music wise with this album. I enjoy Fantasy Ride more than Goodies and The Evolution.
