Eh, she's somehow managed to totally eff up the singles from E=MC2 (it is really beyond me how you can even do that with an album which has a surfeit of precision-tooled singles but w/vs) but maybe the gayest video ever will help 'I Stay In Love', which is the most shameless ballad I've heard in an age. That piano line is ridiculous. I love the way that even in the middle of all this schmaltz Mimi still finds time to break it down with "what I wanna do / is ride shotgun next to you".



So, let's recap all the amazing tracks which were inexplicably never made singles off this album: 'Migrate', 'I'm That Chick', 'Side Effects', 'Cruise Control', 'OOC', 'For The Record'. Oh, Mimi. FAIL. Still my second favourite album of the year, mind.

Yeah, this has been ridiculous. Album of the summer, hands down.

Singles picks should have been Touch My Body, Side Effects, Migrate, I'm That Chick and Cruise Control. If you need a ballad, sub in Stay in Love, I guess, but Side Effects is almost a We Belong Together ballad hyped up on crunk juice.
