They have the right to delete the songs, and maybe they did it because they thought that the new songs didn't go well with the album. They wanted to amke a greatest hits album with a twist. If they don't want to put new songs on the album, then I don't see why anyone should be complaining. They are working hard for their fans, and they really deserve a break to be with their families and do other stuff. They don't want their fans to be disappointed, but we get a DVD, Jon is filming a small role for a movie coming out in 2004, and Richie may be acting soon, so don't get fustrated over the album. I'm disappointed about the 2 songs being left off the album, but I'm not complaining to everyone, like some people are. Another thing, the Oompas may be tired of answering your questions about the new album, and hearing you complain. They don't like that, and neither do the fans that are happy with the final outcome with the album.
