I feel like Mariah's team was distracted with E=MC² having already made a number 1 single, they got failed to recognize the potential of Migrate. It was definitely a missed opportunity.
I would argue that this album was the most mismanaged in her entire career in terms of timing and promoting the wrong single choices in the wrong chronological order. MIGRATE would have been the perfect choice for the lead single as part of her sensational first tummy tuck Jenny Craig slim and svelte return to top form. I would have then as a second single released 'Touch My Body'. LOVE STORY could have become THE Valentine's Anthem of all time if it had been promoted that way. SIDE EFFECTS and THANKS 4 NOTHING would have been a far better choice for a single than BYE BYE. Urgh, I am still so aggravated over this whole messy period.
Not really just 2003-2006, in 2008 her vocals were very weak because she overworked herself, and didnt tour because of a Miscarriage, but she looks so goood in 2008, I still think that was probably her best looking era, all her looks just screamed Diva
if I had the power of change the past, DEFINITELY I wold force Mariah and her team to release migrate has an single... one of her best songs, so underrated.

This would have been a big hit. Why they didn't release this is as a single is beyond me. Its so catchy. It might not have been as big as touch my body but I bet it would have been in the top five on the charts.
As a non-fan I must admit that this song would have become her 19 #1 in the US and one of her biggest singles worldwide. It's rooted in hip-hop and R&B, two leading genres of that time period, but it also has a distinctive electropop influence, sound that was literally blowing up in the late 2000s with rise of Lady Gaga or Kesha. Moreover, it's ultra catchy and has T-Pain on it, which would have propelled the song to the top of the charts. And that auto tune! It gave this song an extra edge! Definitely a hit that got away!!!
I have to share this: has anyone noticed at 3:48 T-pain is shocked that Mariah is belting some live notes. He’s watching in awe. When she says slow 3:57
People were not nice about this performance at the time. No one had heard this song prior to this performance and Perez Hilton was really nasty about her vocals/the performance in general. I remember the reception not being great and I believe this is why the focus went to Bye Bye instead of Migrate for the next single. Such a waste! This song is suuuuch a bop.
Why in the hell does any critic, Perez or or not get any notoriety? They usually are untalented haters anyway wishing they were on the place if the actual artist.
she is just so smart. I love her ! Beautiful, genius, most people just do not get how intelligent she is in lyrics, rythm and melody. Mariah, you are such a wonderful 2.0 human being and ARTIST !
In that time I remember that Disco will send to the radios and released on the catalog on billboard, but few days after they cancelled. People said it happened because Perez Hilton. He did a bad review about that song and disses Mariah.
Migrate had a good peak in the hot 100. Mariah said on Twitter that she was blocked when she wanted to make a single. She was in top physical shape. A good clip like Touch My body would give it a top 10 for sure
She was probably saving her vocals for the climax lmaoo, this specific song had autotune incorporated for fun, so the verses are harder to sing lol....
It makes me just kinda angry because everything with this era was going right in my opinion. Mariah physically was looking GORGEOUS and the music in general was of the time but still sounded very good. If they had simply released Migrate or Side effects as a second single (those were obviously the most urban radio friendly for the time) it would've been another easy number one and completely changed the direction of her career. Just ughhhhhhhhhh
Love it, thanks for sharing. I saw that you have the whistle Can't let go video, and they blocked all you uploaded :(, do you think you can send me that vid, i've been ages looking for that video, it was in youtube back then but it dissapeared a couple of years ago, i really want to watch it again, thanks in advanced :)
Love this song and performance. 3:46 “Soon as walk through the doooooor” is lipped ( you can hear her whispering at “doooor” as she is blending the backtrack with her low volume vocals). The rest of the song is live including the belts in the last part which I am livinggg for to this day.
@@shadowcArey I think I’m going to partly agree with you. Listening to it over and over again she is definitely belting “soon as you walk “ ; however, the backtrack vocals’ volume was raised to avoid imperfections. And you can tell there is a strong backtrack present because she lipped “through the door”. This is noticeable as her next words “like yooooo” (live) are totally different in sound quality than “through the door”, even her body (head) language changes (it relaxed) when she just struggled to sing/belt “soon as we walk” . This was an awesome performance and I won’t criticize her for this minor lipped moment.
Hello there the number one Mariah Carey admirer here to correct you guys all of you are completely wrong let's not forget who we're talking about it's Mariah Carey she has been known to sing some songs with lip that's usually after she gets done completing an album however this performance was actually a tester performance for the song originally Jermaine Dupri was supposed to rap on this song that fell through because he was overseas at the time and couldn't make it to the studio T-Pain is already at the studio and that's how we have the birth of this song performance-wise Mariah Carey actually did the whole song live with no backtrack all backup singers the only one that had a backtrack what's T-Pain because of the Auto-Tune how you know Mariah Staying Alive pay attention to her neck area you can see her neck flex and pulsate as she gets the vocal out you can't fake that which means you are really singing long story short she sang the whole thing live you guys are wrong
One of my favorite songs from her E=MC2 album, definitely was happy I bought the album when it came out. I wasn't really that big of a fan of hers before but it definitely changed my mind lol I ironically don't think of "Touch My Body" and "Bye Bye" as the best songs on the album tbh
Migrate peaked at #92 in the Hot Top 100 in the Billboard being a non-single. Imagine how huge it would've been if it was a single!
I cry just thinking about it 😭
It’s such a wasted opportunity.
DURING THE PURE SALES ERA. It’s normal in streaming era but in 2008, FUCKING AMAZING... nobody can do that except MARIAH.
@@adrianyu-chenchou8198 Taylor Swift could do that. All of her non-singles from Fearless and Speak Now charted from sales alone.
tmla we support both legends, both artist of the decade😃
I feel like Mariah's team was distracted with E=MC² having already made a number 1 single, they got failed to recognize the potential of Migrate. It was definitely a missed opportunity.
Actually multiple songs from E=MC² are single-worthy. Side Effect, Migrate, I'm That Chick & Last Kiss could have been masive hits!!! 💗
There are at least 6 songs in my mind from her catalog that could have been #1s. This is definitely one.
@@shandyeigenmann606 last kiss is my favorite from the album.
@@joaopedro-zm7dy i love it!

Amazing. 2005-2008 was a stunning era for Mariah.

The hair flip is the BEST part. ♥
yes, legendary!!
Yesss indeed that's an icon did it ...best
the fact that she's serving body as if it's 1997
if I had the power of change the past, DEFINITELY I wold force Mariah and her team to release migrate has an single... one of her best songs, so underrated.
NO! I have another point, imaginei Migrate being released as a single of Caution. A SMASH HIT, I BET
@@miawallace7328who would wait for that long
I swear
Faded too
It wasn't Mariah's fault, she loves this song and definitely wanted it released, LA Reid and Perez Hilton uncultured asses are the reason
Best performance of Migrate. I still wish it was a single. It would have been huge.
That's very true 😫 but the album was huge so that's good
Should have been a single instead of bye bye my career
Hiram Vega Right, Wikipedia still list E=MC^2 as selling 2.5 million copies, when 8+ more sites list it as selling 5.5/6.5 million copies !!
I feel like Mariah's team was distracted with E=MC² having already made a number 1 single, they got failed to recognize the potential of Migrate. It was definitely a missed opportunity.
carlo vincent her team is so annoying when it comes to promotion...I hate them.
Omg I can't believe she performed this on snl I had no idea! If only this was promoted on radio. Still iconic

I feel like it could have been bigger than touch my body
Bc from what I've read it peaked 92 on the bbh100 being a non-single
Do it definitely had the potential
Because she couldn't hit the whistle notes live any longer

I have a friend that hates Mariah but she loves that song for real.
I f* love this era. Her body, her looks, her voice, lots of hits, everything was on point...
I have to share this: has anyone noticed at 3:48 T-pain is shocked that Mariah is belting some live notes. He’s watching in awe. When she says slow 3:57
What did he expect ? His rasta head was shook
Great OB 👌❤️
I just noticed that part! He’s Face like: What the fuck…! 💕
He was shocked to hear that after that one lipsynced line lmao
@@squeallymaniacit was live 🤦🏻♂️
T pain was shook never forget she's Mariah Carey lmfao
And was 😅/and he forgot but she reminded him quickly
it's like that pt. 2 tbh but better
yo that would be a great combination on tour
nah.

Fucking perez Hilton !
I remember that and I still blame him. Nasty guy
Why in the hell does any critic, Perez or or not get any notoriety? They usually are untalented haters anyway wishing they were on the place if the actual artist.
I know. So ridiculous how she always gets bad press no matter what she does.
Anyone notice how she even nailed her own laugh at 2:46-2:47? Omg her and those sunglasses in this era.
1:17 harmony with backing vocals is absolutely on point
Her writing skills are always so on point!!!!! Love this bop+
Its the hair flip for me 😩😌❤❤ 4:10
2:45 hihihihihi
she is just so smart. I love her ! Beautiful, genius, most people just do not get how intelligent she is in lyrics, rythm and melody. Mariah, you are such a wonderful 2.0 human being and ARTIST !
Her hand throughout this entire performance is game on!. I loved it.
In 2021 still the ish. Fire! So underated from vocals to the rap. I need a do over.... let's get this on the charts now. What it deserves.
Should’ve been a single
Whenever I want to be depressed, I remember this song and the #1 it should have been
That hair flip was so her
am I the only obsessed with 3:58
u r not the only one. haha.
Mimis vocal breaks she does is heaven
t pain looks like he is too
Crazy because I kept rewinding that part..lol love it
Me tooo, she could still belt in a heavenly way, just precious.
A great opener to the album like “it’s like that”!!
3:46 GO OFFFFFFFF MARIAH
LA Reid is the person to blame for not releasing this potential song.
During the climax Mariah knew she was slaying
One of her best performances during this album, and in the best shape ever!
This song is such a BOP!!!! I can’t let go of why in the hell wasn’t it a single!? I mean it’s an easy #1!
In that time I remember that Disco will send to the radios and released on the catalog on billboard, but few days after they cancelled. People said it happened because Perez Hilton. He did a bad review about that song and disses Mariah.
I love this!!! This Mariah, her groove here and simple but flawless performance. It's like she gets younger when she's older
People are not yet ready for this type of music. Mariahs music is too much advanced for this generation.
Migrate had a good peak in the hot 100. Mariah said on Twitter that she was blocked when she wanted to make a single. She was in top physical shape. A good clip like Touch My body would give it a top 10 for sure
god I love this song.
3:46 "SOON AS WE WALK to the do-OO-oowww" 😍
Lipped. The rest is completely live. I like this performance
@@chechare85 its all live
@@vascov2408 false. That line is not live

why the hell I didn´t watch this til today!! I love it
You better watch it, this is a gem!
yes baby, the notes on point
Why didn’t This song take off ..?? It’s really catchy and original
It didn't become a single lmao. Dumb decision by Mariah's team

3:57
You never failed me, MC. Love from Philippines. ♥
Number 1 song ❤️😊
0:49 Don't fuck with my song 😂😂😂 luv her!!
OMG! The performance started a little bit bad, but in the end was just amazing!!!
She was probably saving her vocals for the climax lmaoo, this specific song had autotune incorporated for fun, so the verses are harder to sing lol....
What?? It started just fine..
What a song.
She was so gorgeous in this time frame
i love the way so many of her songs predict lyrics of future songs. here it's "it's a wrap"
MIGRATE; SIDE EFFECTS; FOR THE RECORD should have been the singles
and cruise control
This song should’ve definitely been a single 😭😭 this song is such a bop
Great performance. One of my favorite Maria songs.
Oh wow! I can see it now! Thanks Lambs4lyf !!!
T-Pain trying to cop a real feel. Lol
This song is too much amazing
This song is dope should have been a single!
cant get enough
I hope Tiktok will make this song a trend like Its a Wrap
Yes, pls 😭😭😭
This performance is just fucking amazing 😍
The number one song Mariah didn’t get to have. Only if it was released as the second single.
this is literally a PERFECT song
This would have been a number one single, why the hell she didnt realese it as a single... bad Mimi
I haven’t seen this since it came out!! I love it :)
this lowkey ate.
De las canciones que pudieron ser un hit y no lo fueron.
I lovvvveeee¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
This is just beautiful! Vocals on point looooove
well fuck it up then Mimi 😍😇
Great Mariah
Iconic!
I truly love this album
So talented❤️❤️❤️
It’s superb, ❤
I have been looking for this performance for years! Thank you for uploading!

Looks and vocals on Point !
nothing more diva than mariah carey performing w a goddamn sunglasses on in a building😭
Maravilhosaaaa.
God i love her
Song was 🔥🔥🔥
0:58 “to feed you my hips, accentuate my... 🍒 😉”
that killed me 😂
feauture my hips, accentuate my tits
there were bunch of censored words in this song haha defo tried to figure out them all 🥲
"It's Like That", another similar club/urban Mariah Carey track was good enough to be a LEAD single, but not "Migrate?" Shame this was missed..

Omfg, she's so badass.
hottest track from the album
She's super thin here 🙌🎤💃👑✨
Yeah she was on a diet but she hated it lmao, and that's honestly a mood 🤣
my song! her style this era was so cool-cute
