VIDEO: MARIAH CAREY - “TOUCH MY BODY”
Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Mariah Carey premieres her new video for her first single, “Touch My Body” from her upcoming 11th studio album, E=MC², via Island Records. I must say, even though the song is slowly creeping up to growing on me, the video knocked it a couple of notches down on my list of listenables. It’s just too campy and corny. Check it out and let me know what you think…

This song is kind of cute. But Mariah needs to grow up. Her body is nice but she need to be more age appropriate. Her dressing like she’s 19 years old is played.

Damn that….. Mariah is bagin’ and she has a body of a bangin’ 19 year old so she can keep doing her thang. The video is o.k but the song is fly.

What the Hell? I loved the song but not the video, but it will probably be on number one on TRL or wherever because its Mariah. I can’t honestly say how I would want the video to be because of the lyrics but seriously the geek and all that wasn’t necessary. Mariah. c’mon all the tugging on her dress and acting the way you do in majority of your videos of late is pretty redundant. Switch it up…seriously.

The song is cute, the video is cute but i’m not feeling it as a comeback single after “Mimi”, that album was flawless and i was looking for soomething near flawless to follow it. “Touch My Body” isn’t a good representation and i dunno if i’m lookin forward to the released of her new material >.

Most of her videos have the same theme: Mariah spinning around half naked. Grow up Mariah and be more creative. See Janet.

I can see another breakdown when the looks and body starts catching up with her age…she seems obsessive with her body…and it’s ok for right now…but if she doesn’t change that mind set…she won’t be a happy camper later on.
Song is ok!

I guess I’m the one who can take a joke. It was nice to see her poke fun at her persona. And, it was also nice to see that she didn’t take the lyrics in her song very seriously. It’s almost scary that a lot of you guys did. She could’ve done the usual vid w/ the hot guy, and most of you would still be complaining. And, whoever said she needs to do a video like Janet have you seen Feedback?

i luv Mariah…the last album was a hit, but when I heard this song I was like…whatever, another song that sounds like everything else on the radio(not original at all) then she comes out with this video….which is straight up garbage.
Another video with her romping around in skimpy clothes(girl we all know your body’s bangin’) with some guy chasing her….please I need to hear another single & see another video before I support this….please get it together MiMi, cause you are one of the “greats” in the game, but this shit………not off the radar with me.

I like the song it’s growing on me. But I really want to know what Mariah was thinking with this video… Not understand why she went in that direction. And I #19 agree I think she needs to start dressing her age…

As a self-proclaimed Mariah Stan I am disappointed! I expected more from the video.
It would have been more interesting if shed did a complete contrast and been covered up the whole video! From head to toe be covered up but bring out natural sexyness that matched the song. This video is crap, but i still love the song and hope her new album does extremely well!
She better not disappoint her fans and make the next song AMaZING!
Mariah is still the best singer of our generation, theyres no denying that, but she needs to be more demure.

Obviously if you werent so ignorant you would know that the so called “nerd” is Kenneth from a show on NBC called 30 Rock. If you werent too busy watching Keyshia’s Cole ghetto family you would know that.
As far as her attire, Mariah is known for dressing sexy, its her trademark and if she has the body for it then why not.
There is nothing wrong with the video. I like it. It has a feel good spring/summertime look to it. If you did not notice, Kenneth is having a fantasy of Mariah Carey. Think about a nerds likes/dislikes or personality. Those things you call “cheesy” are the types of things the average nerd would imagine in a fantasy. ugh you guys are so dumb.
All everyone does is hate on Mariah yet you know you dont look half as good as her. and you dont have the talent that she has. This song will be a hit NOT because its Mariah, because its a good song. This video will do well in rotation NOT because its a Mariah video, but because people actually like it. some of you are so damn ignorant that you dont pay attention to the concept of the video you just see whats in front of you. ugh i need a noose.

Why would she have a typical video with a “fine” guy in it…that would be boring and everyone would expect it and have a problem with it. The song itsn’t serious and maybe ya’ll need to take the stick out of your asses (BRIAN) and get with it…Ya’ll want her to be on some Beyonce played out shit and that wouldn’t work for the song.

Sorry I didn’t care for this video and I’m frankly tired of her same old style. She needs to change up her style I’m tired of seeing her half naked. I can understand if she couldn’t sing but she actually has talent. Just sad!

@ Ace(#25)
I agree with you.
It was fun to see Mariah Carey poke fun at herself.
Im use to her with the perfect videos, with the perfect guy, & perfect camara angles of herself.
In her interviews she always talk about her having this fun & silly side to her that only some of her close friends get to see(like Da Brat).
So it was cool to see her not taking herself so seriously.
Maybe everybody would have like it if she interpreted the concept alittle differently.

Your so right Brian. But it is a cutesy song. But the video is true to form Mariah fare. A lot of artificial sweetner. Very camp.
And she dresses in true Mariah style. She doesn’t evolve or take risks like Madonna or Janet, she stays in her lane.
Personally I think that is why her success has been more consistent for the most part because she give the people what they want and doesn’t try to push the envelope, but as she gets more mature and realises she has more money and broken more records and gets a liitle bored she might go a little nuts and do something a little more progressive and experimental. Especially with such a powerful and wide vocal ability.

I love Mariah! and I love the video its totally her style its sort of reminiscent of her “heartbreaker video” it shows her light hearted side…she doesn’t have to have and uber sexy plot in every video, that gets old. I love this video!

=============================
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH NUMBER 25, i guess people on this board want to see a SEX VIDEO, the video is supposed to represent a nerds dream of Mariah it’s a funny video. The song will do well and looking at chart positions the song will go to number ONE1

this song is OKAY - I like it - which is not cool when it comes to Mariah, I am use to loving her singles. The video is stupid - I couldnt watch the whole thing. Theres something about Mariahs style that bugs me, true her body is hott, but the way she dresses makes her look trampy. She needs a new stylist (or simply A stylist) to teach her how to show her “curves” in a better way. Cause its all wrong!!!!

I for one absoultely LOVED the video. It made me like the song even more. I agree with Ace and everyone on the board that likes the vid. It’s a fun video, a different concept and take on the song and it’s pure Mimi. I loves it and it will be going to number 1! You so called “haterz” don’t have to hate, we all know that you secretly love Mariah, it’s okay to come out, we accept you…lol

Supercent is right….Look at Mary J. She still is fly but showing her growth and maturity as a WOMAN…not a young girl…..she needs to find herself within her thirties and put her Mariah on it. The song is nice, but i hate when videos don’t have a damn thing to do with the song unless the video is creative like that.

No doubt she is gorgeous but her career has gone backwards - even though “Vision of Love” was not who she wanted to be - DAMN I miss that Mariah - I mean “We Belong Together” was a nice mix of the old and new Mimi - this song is cute the video is cute but I want a mature Mariah - how long is she gonna do this Britney Spears knock off look. She needs a stylist - ASAP!
