Not overly keen on I'll Be Loving You Long Time to be honest. I'm a liitle skeptical as to how it will do in the US and the UK. I prefer Bye Bye and look how that performed in the UK and US singles charts! I hope it does well, but I'm not sure....... Does anyone else agree with me that Migrate would have been a far stronger single choice? It would definitely have gone to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles, and could even have earnt Mariah a number 1 on the UK singles chart. I just hope that she releases Migrate as the next single.

This Is My Opinion: Bye Bye Is Not A Strong Single Choice. However, Planned Properly, I Could Still Have Been A Success. For Instance, They Released Bye Bye Whilst Touch My Body Was Still In The Top Ten Of The Billboard Hot 100. Also They Released Bye Bye to US Radio And Digital Retailers At The Same Time, Which is unusual, as most singles in the US receive at least a months worth of airplay befor being released as downloads, in order to help chart positions. To sum up, although Bye Bye was not an out-of-this-world success, and although it was not a brilliant single choice it could have achieved at least Top 10 status if the release was handled more carefully. In my opinion, if they wanted to score Mariah's 19th US number-one single, Migrate should have been released. It has that Hip-Hop vibe that the US is feeling at the moment, plus T-Pain makes an appearance on the song, and he is extremely popular in the US. Also it is no surprise that Bye Bye did not achieve great success in the UK. Although I wished it had charted highly, the truth is the UK does not warm to ballads unless they are exceptional. To sum up, Migrate is the single that should have released if they wanted Mariah to achieve incredible chart success in the UK and US.
