discuss: best songs on The Emancipation of Mimi

[Bob]

I wanted a separate thread from her monster Music News topic, just to discuss the album

i have a lot to say about it right now. the song i'm feeling most at THIS moment is "Stay the night"

[bluenote]

My Favorites are:

We belong Together
Shake it off
Your girl
Mine Again
Say Somethin
To The Floor
Its Like that

The rest of the songs are listenable and good album tracks. The only song i must say i hate with a passion is "get your number". I think the fact that JD is trying to sound like Nelly, takes away from the song and makes it more of a novelty record and makes it sound like a very cheesy attempt. I think listeners will be confused by this if its released as a single and i think it would do poorly.

I think this album is on par with "butterfly" so this is her best album in 8 years.

This is her first album since Butterfly that there is not one track that I really feel the need to skip every time I listen to it.  In terms of solidity, it's my favorite since her debut.  I really enjoy every song and I think they all hold their own among the other tracks.  They all have their own reasons for being on the album.

I think after a few days I have a pretty good opinion of each track and can rank them.

01.  Fly Like A Bird
02.  Stay The Night
03.  I Wish You Knew
04.  Mine Again
05.  We Belong Together
06.  One & Only
07.  Your Girl
08.  Shake It Off
09.  Joy Ride
10.  It's Like That
11.  Circles
12.  To The Floor
13.  Get Your Number
14.  Say Somethin'

[WhySoSerious?]

1. Stay The Night
2. We Belong Together
3. Mine Again
4. Fly Like A Bird
5. Shake It Off
6. I Wish You Knew
7. It's Like That
8. Your Girl
9. Say Something
10. Circles
11. Get Your Number
12. To The Floor
13. Joy Ride
14. One And Only

[allow that]

I'll wait til April 12 to post my favorites because I'm being a dork and waiting til then to hear it, so I get to look forward to an album's release just like back in the day!

I find it hard to believe that I'll like anything more than "We Belong Together" though!

2. STAY THE NIGHT
3. WE BELONG TOGETHER
4. GET YOUR NUMBER
5. CIRCLES

10. FLY LIKE A BIRD

[PaNdeM0niuM!]

the best songs off the album are:
1. Stay the night
2. Mine Again
3. We Belong Together
4. Fly Like A Bird
5. Joy Ride
6. Your Girl
7. I wish you knew
8. Circles

Why?
Because Mariah is singing her as$ off !!!!!!  :o
This is what people want !
This is what people want to hear !
This is what people have been waiting for !
;)

If Stay The Night is not a single, i'm going to get freaken MAD !!!!!  >:(
The respone for this song is overwhelming (judging from this pulse music board alone, and Mariah's fans).

The album itself is phenomenal !
It rivals the Best i.e. butterfly and daydream.

If Butterfly was the Mona Lisa
and Daydream was the Sistine Chapel
then MIMI is a picasso !!
they are all Masterpieces !!

Everything is the best, but my standouts are the ones with the six-octave notes..  It's "I Wish You Knew".  Super High notes
