It's because 'Fly Like a Bird' isn't on the list of tracks we were given to vote from.
Ah... were we given tracks to vote from? Sorry, I didn't notice :oops:

Yeah it was released to radio at the same time as Say Somethin' and reached number four on Bubbling Under Hot 100 and 19 on the R&B chart!

I knew it charted but that song deserved a video. I mean otherwise the average listener does not really register it (at least not as he would have done had it been released properly)... Same with Gaga's "Speachless", they both left the best songs of their respective albums unreleased (in a major proper way) despite having both of them performed left right and center and getting (very) positive reactions from both radios and public

I like 'Fly Like a Bird' but I think it works better as an album track. Knowing Mariah, she probably would have ruined the song by giving it a cheap video (beach, bikini, touching herself).

Doubt it. Her sense of style was untouchable that era. She didn't mess a nail.

And the plan for the video was Mariah, Pastor Clarance Keaton and a church choir but it was going to be a low budget thing!

Not bad. It worked for AYNAF. Why didn't they film it?

Stay the night. Nothing screams 'Vocal Juggernaut' like this track does.

That one 'live' performance she did in Europe (Venice, was it?)was brilliant. If only she'd actually taken the pains to sing it live. She'd have sold a ton more copies. Just that one performance. :evil:

I don't know why they didn't bother filming it but Mariah had this to say about the video: "We don't have a lot of time to do it. It's not a big-budget thing. But it doesn't need to be. It just needs to be about the song, capturing the song and the emotion of it."

It's a shame they never filmed it because it's one of my favourite songs ever.

End of round 5!

Thanks to all the voters!

A total of 9 songs received votes from you guys and the discussion about Mariah’s albums/singles became very heated, lol!

However, one thing almost all of you agreed on was “the forgotten single”.

Receiving 17 votes out of a total of 29, “the forgotten single” of The Emancipation Of Mimi is:
