People still callin this a “Comeback”. Mariah hasn’t been gone, her “comeback” was the Emancipation of Mimi. This is just another album

Her behind is so flat. my god she takes after her white side

The song is wack, her voice is not what it used to be that’s why she sings the way she does now. And the video is trash. She’s too old to be dressing the way she does the woman is nearly 40

Oh god that video is so wack. And the song is so cheap and cheesy. How uncreative

LOVES IT, LOVES IT LOVES IT

Uh yeah I agree that she’s waaaay too old to be dressing the way she does. And you can tell the director smeared vaseline on the lens to try to soften her appearance because her face looks weird from all that plastic surgery she had done to her face. It’s obvious she had cheek implants. And she sooo had lipo done to her body. All the blind items point to Mariah. I used to be a big Mariah fan from back in the day but not anymore. She can’t sing a lick. Her voice had deteriorated like crazy

oh god what was she thinking. she is going back downhill again. terrible concept for the video and her voice sounds weak on the song

Damn I only made it to 2 minutes…she needs to do that shyt over again..who told her that was a good video?

LOL@#30..Hated it!!! LMAO…me too…so what he was dreaming…I started dreaming too..about another damn video!

AND I LOVE IT, NOBODY’S FLOW IS TIGHTER

yeah she has absolutely NO BOOTY. my god it’s flat as a pancake. who told her to wear those jeans in the end? LMAO!!

this sh1t sucks so bad

flat ass, juvenile lyrics and cheap video. her career is coming to an end

Video is really bad and all Mariah has now is her plastic body.. Its really a shame that we are rewarding these type of artists by playing this crap and making the song number 1 (which it will be soon) its really our faults..

lol@mariah. there are blind items floating around that she’s an ex prostitute and juding from the way she dresses and behaves i believe it’s true. she’s nothing but a rich hooker with a singing career. with her wide flat behind LMAO!!!

yeah those rumors are true about her past of being a hooker. her sister was one and then she got mariah into the biz as well. from the way she dresses and acts i guess she still likes being one. crappy azz video. she should just be a high price call girl and stop stinking up the air waves with her weak azz voice

lolshe so funny she the shit she like 95% on point lol

basically da bitch not takin herself as serious as some of yall are its a cute song with a cute funny fun filled video wtf bitch dont get me motha fuckin started

Are you guys serious? The woman works out and starts getting her body right and automatically she’s been lippoed up? Huhh the life of a hater, I swear!

Anyhooo, if you have a sense of humor than you can probably tell the concept of the video isn’t to be taken seriously…it’s a humorous joking video people! It’s funny, cute and fits the tone of the song. What’s the issue? If Mariah made a sexy video with her and model guy everyone would have been jumping down her throat for doing the same thing over again…at least this concept has plot to it (i.e. the daydreams of Mariah through the nerds point of view).

As for Mariah’s singing…people, gimme a break. Everyone said the same thing before “The Emancipation of Mimi” came out, then she shut everyone up with the hottest album of that year! People need to realize that not EVERY song she releases is gonna be as powerful and moving as “We Belong Together”…and why should it be, she’s an artist so she’s gonna experiment with her vocal tones and flows. I for one am glad to see her switching up the delivery on her records, I don’t wanna hear the SAME vocal styling on every song.

Give the woman a break.

The album is gonna bring fire. You can’t deny with Mariah you get uptemp, midtemp and the ballads so you get it all.

VH1 Previews E=MC²
Yesterday, Island/Def Jam honcho L.A. Reid hosted a few journalists in his office for a special preview of Mariah Carey’s upcoming E=MC² album, tentatively due April 15. While Reid looked on, Mariah’s A&R man and long-rumored beau Mark Sudack played 12 of the album’s cuts from his laptop, often passionately (and adorably!) singing along. On the album, there was drama, there was death, there was disco. What follows is a track-by-track breakdown of our impressions of the album. Note that this isn’t the final track sequence, that L.A. ticked off the producers list to us but it is by no means etched in stone and the tracks that we heard weren’t always mastered.

One final note: so much of this album is sung in Mariah’s chest voice. The vocal gymnastics and whistle notes, while there (’cause, duh, it’s Mariah!), take a backseat to clear, purposeful singing, and Mariah sounds better for it. Oh yeah, Mimi’s back.

1. “Migrate” (co-produced by Danja) — After announcing itself with Mariah’s patented whistle notes, this club track gets to bangin’ and it takes that task really seriously. It’s about as meta as a banger gets, with Mariah explaining during the chorus how her night goes: “From the car to the club / We migrate / From the bar to the V.I.P. / We migrate.” And so it goes, from the party to the after party, from the after party to the hotel. There’s a slight autotune effect on Mariah’s voice on the last “migrate” of each chorus, which I assume is to put her on equal ground with the man she shares the mic with here. T-Pain, mercifully shows up for just a guest verse — this is not a full-blown duet. It’s a feisty track, with tough Storch-esque beats that Mariah’s bravado attempts to match: “If you’re inked up thuggin’, that’s what I like,” she says. See, I always thought she went for the pretty boys. Already we’re learning stuff!

2. “Touch My Body” (co-produced with Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and The-Dream) — There isn’t much to say about this ultra-femme track that wasn’t said when it leaked. Hard to believe that that was only a little more than week ago — in the time since, it’s become so ubiquitous that it’s kind of hard to imagine what radio was like before it. Even L.A. seemed taken aback by how quickly it has caught on — he described the track’s out-of-the-gate success as virtually accidental.

3. “Last Kiss” (co-produced by Jermaine Dupri) — One of the album’s many declarations of eternal love, this one is “We Belong Together, Part 35.” It’s nice but extremely safe. One thing that’s very much in its favor are Mariah’s vocals, which are nimble as they are in “We Belong Together” (she changes up her flow more times than I could count) and maybe more robust than they’ve sounded in over a decade. There’s a nice little duet at the end of this one between Mariah’s full chest voice and her higher register. Of course, if she didn’t show off that stellar natural resource, this wouldn’t be a Mariah Carey album.

4. “Lovin’ You Long Time” (co-produced by DJ Toomp) — Pure and utter joy is this one, which is most reminiscent of the lovely Mimi outtake “When I Feel It.” Except this one’s, like, 10 times better. The chorus of DeBarge’s “Stay With Me” is the foundation of this track (as opposed to the verses, which provided the foundation for the single remix of Biggie’s “One More Chance” and Ashanti’s “Foolish,” among tracks). However, the sample sounds more weathered, and overall, the track comes off as a ’60s throwback rather than an ’80s one. One hundred percent feel-good and packing in a killer breakdown and conclusion that’s a wall of Mariah voices, this was the first song that felt like the work of unstoppable pop genius.

5. “Thanx for Nothin’” (co-produced by Jermaine Durpri) — A mid-tempo ballad that sports a beat rougher than anything Jermaine Dupri has laid down for Mariah and a guitar line not unlike Mimi’s “So Lonely” (though this track is more sassy and less dour than that), “Thanx” suggests that Mariah and Jermaine aren’t sentenced to live in the shadow of their former glory and can actually make relatively new sounds together. Lyrically, this break-up track is a cross between the self-deprecating “Mine Again” (”I never knew enough about you, babe / And I guess I only have myself to blame”) and the streetwise posturing of “Get Your Number” (”Seems like all I do is think about your pseudo-romance / While you’re somewhere burnin’ diesel in the streets, havin’ laughs”). Mariah packs in so many lyrics that she barely has time to sing them, and sort of just growls them. It’s not nearly as ridiculous as that description might make it sound.

6. “That Chick” (co-produced by Stargate) — Instant. Classic. An absolutely brilliant disco track that plays on Mariah’s strengths and sexiness without ever crossing the line into indulgence. It’s slick, it’s chic (and Chic, with its slap-you-on-the-ass bass line), it’s silly (”La da da a oooh wee-wee” goes the bit between the chorus and the verses) and it carries a killer middle 8 that’s as exhilarating as the one in Michael Jackson’s “P.Y.T.” (you know, the best part of one of the best songs ever that goes, “Don’t you know nowwwww / Is the perfect time…”?). Mariah makes references to 2Pac and Biggie, compares herself to ice cream and the lottery and maybe even references the long-lost track from the Charmbracelet sessions “Touch the Sky.” Oh, and also she delivers the most her line of her career, complete with a 10-cent word: “I brings that levity.” Maybe one day they’ll bottle the essence of Mariah, but until then, we have “That Chick” and I seriously am counting down the days till I can hear this track again. This needs to be a single, like, now, and Mariah needs to dust off those “Heartbreaker” remix roller skates for the video, pronto.

7. “Cruise Control” (co-produced by Jermaine Dupri) — Another J.D. track that deviates from what could have been a detrimental pattern, this is a reggae-lite extended car metaphor (”I need a caddy wit some cruise control,” belts Mariah). The chorus consists of her spelling out, “C-R-U-I-S-E control” and the second verse finds Mariah adopting a Jamaican affect for kicks: “When da door open I de gals pon de block / They be hop-on, to rob the clock / Me say no mam / Step up step up / Bottle broken / Tink I’m jokin’.” Seriously, she says that. Damien Marley gets a guest verse, and I have to say, his shtick is a little more convincing.

8. “Side Effects” (co-produced by Scott Storch) — You know how sometimes Southern rap almost has a heavy metal feel? Mariah and Storch exploit that by turning out a Southern-fried power ballad that’s a thinly veiled portrait of her time under Tommy Mottola’s reign (”Hell we built, and I dealt with it… Kept my tears inside ’cause I knew if I started, I’d keep cryin’ for the rest of my life with you / I finally built up the strength to walk away / Don’t regret it…”). For someone as guarded as Mariah is publicly, it’s shockingly frank (she alludes to “violent times”) and really naked (the titular side effects refer to the toll the relationship has taken on her: she’s “still a little depressed inside” and “still a little defensive thinkin’ folks be tryin’ to run my life”). This is another highlight, and having a rapper so associated with drugs (Jeezy) on a track called “Side Effects” that isn’t about drugs at all, only makes things cleverer.

9. “Love Story” (co-produced by Jermaine Dupri) — Anther ode to endless love (”This ain’t no fairy tale or fiction / This is truly ours for eternity”), this ballad is more of the baby-making ilk. It’s like Prince-lite with a synthesized beat a la “The Beautiful Ones,” but not as effects-laden (i.e. the beat doesn’t have the backwards sound). The melody is reminiscent of Mimi’s “Joyride,” and that should give you an indication of how sweet this track is.

10. “OOC” (co-produced by Swizz Beatz) — This one has a pummeling thump so pronounced, it’s somewhat surprising that it’s not the work of Stargate or Tricky. “OOC” stands for “out of control,” and while the track isn’t exactly wild, it’s a fun mix of The-Dream’s “Ditch That N…” with a melody like Blu Cantrell’s “Hit ‘Em Up Style.” Besides the hypnotic refrain of “Forever and ever,” the track is most notable for including the word motherf***er. As in, “I know y’all motherf***ers feel like we / When you’re messin’ with the one true lova / That makes you OOC.” Hardcore!

11. “Bye Bye” (co-produced by Stargate) — When Mariah first started promoting Mimi, she described “We Belong Together” as a cross between “Breakdown” and “One Sweet Day.” That description is infinitely more appropriate for “Bye Bye,” a song about death that’s “for my people who just lost somebody,” “for my people who lost their grandmothers” and seemingly for Mariah’s departed father, Alfred Roy (”You never got to see me back at No. 1″). It’s nice that Mariah’s on a confessional kick, although a track with the “We Belong Together” sonic template and lyrics tailored appeal to everyone on such a basic level seems like too easy of a combination for someone as established as Mimi. This one’s like insurance — in case nothing else is a hit, here’s a sure-shot. But ultimately, it turns out that the album is too good for that.

12. “I Wish You Well” (co-produced by James Poyser) — We were told that this was hot off the presses and a very rough version of the song, but even in its unpolished state, it was a stunner. A piano ballad that features Mariah, some gospel-tinged backing vocals, a piano and that’s it, this track is a throwback to the fan-favorite “Vanishing” from her 1990 debut. Part feisty (”You can’t manipulate me like before”) and totally spiritual (Mariah name-checks a bible verse in the chorus, although I couldn’t catch exactly what it was, and she ends the song repeating, “The Lord is my salvation / I will trust in him”), “I Wish You Well” will have fans wetting themselves. It’s gorgeous and in its simplistic way, the type of risk that Mariah should take more often.

The risky moments on the album (”Lovin’ You Long Time,” “That Chick,” “Side Effects” and “I Wish You Well”) bode well for the future. Though E=MC² feels extremely safe, there’s enough variation to signify some artistic growth. She’s cranking out hits and that’s fine because that’s what she’s always done (hitmaking is her medium), but when she goes out of the Top 40 comfort zone, the album truly soars. Over 10 years after she first sang about it, it’s only now that Mariah has worked up the courage to really spread her wings. The next question is: how high can they take her?
Source: VH1

you know….

ok… at first i was disappointed in the song because my expectation was really high…. like…. very very high…

but the song is bland..

but its growing on me… like.. its catchy…. and i like the line… bout if this is on YOUTUBE.. she will hunt you down… LOL LOL.. that crazy Mariah…

as far as the video goes… its cute… funny… i mean… it took me back to the video’s of late 90’s early 00’s pop craze..

the blink 182 and Backstreet videos that was just a bunch of stuff..

the only problem i really have it that Mariah is constantly trying to make us believe she is a sex symbol…

she’s pretty… and cute and all that… but sexy is not her thing…
but she’s trying to MAKE that happen in stead of it being natural…

for example… Janet.. is just sexy.. like its flows out of her… or Megan Good… just sexy…
neither one of thoes ladies are looked at as cute and bubbly…

Mariah on the other hand.. is a cute diva…. you know.. there is nothing sexually sinister about her… in my opinion…

but to each its own…

i will however say that the song is catchy.. and im starting to see why they choose it…

if you think bout it..

right now..
everyone is putting out dance hits.. with these heavy head banging beats..
that has never been Mariah’s thing..
She is giving us what we expect of her…

so it works..

just imagine if Janet and Mariah switched songs….. DISASTER!!!

Janet gave us what we expected and Mariah did the same..
its just that mainstream right now… wants to hear that dance hard beat..

that’s what i think…

but its a cute little song… and she’s doing her cute lilttle thing with it..

The video is corny as hell. I don’t care how cutesy she is, the whole concept sucks.

I’m sorry but if this is the first single then the rest of the album is probably garbage. The song is weak - weak lyrics - weak productions - weak vocals. It’s a shame because people will probably go out and buy the album b/c her last one was good. I smell a Glitter effect in the works!

This song is only going to be number 1 because of payola, not because people are requesting to here this crap. She sound soooo mainstream and nothing unique.

That’s the guy from 30 ROCK! I LOVE 30 Rock! Everyone should watch it! It’s sooooooo funny. Thursdays at 9 on NBC.

I love MC but this song is wack she is not 12 I need her to sing about grown woman stuff. And she kills me with her over acting a her video’s lol.

the song kind of grew on me, but the video is so DATED! she was wearing clothes that britney and christina wore in the 90s, and even those girls grew up! But i guess Mariah was never known for taking risk with her music nor her look. Thats the reason Mariah really never stood out, decades from now people will remember people like Whitney, Madonna, and Janet, because they stand out from the crowd, and even when they might fail they will always have people excited about something new. Mariah never really stood out, she always had nice songs, but she never evolved and took her sound and career to the next level.

I love how as soon as Mariah comes out and starts doing good it’s because of “payola” that her song is getting played! Really? Are you serious? Mariah and Janet are on the same record label, yet radio barely touched “Feedback”…and in reality Janet’s the one with more to prove this time around than Mariah, so wouldn’t the record company have paid radio to play her song?

Maybe radio is going crazy over it cause 1) it’s melodic and catchy 2) it’s a departure from the Timbaland, Akon and T-Pain craze that has run the radio for the last 2 years and 3) because Mariah actually PROMOTES her stuff on radio and goes out there and does interviews with them and stuff.

People love to hate, it’s truly a sickness! lol

Also, first singles are never a true indicator of what the album will sound like. “It’s Like That” was NOT a true indicator of what the “mimi” album sounded like at all!

Ummmmmmmmmmm, this better be a joke!

Poking fun at her persona? Oh puhleeze. This was just another excuse for Mariah to continue to dress like she not old enuf to drive. Frankly I am tired of her “sex kitten in her own mind” persona and Janet’s decade-long, never ending sexual revolution (and talkin like she still Penny on Good Times). Its time for both of these women to grow up or sit their azzez down. Both of them are too old for this foolishness. I understand Janet is limited because her form of entertaining has more of a clock on it. But Mariah is a vocalist who can tour forever. She can afford to age it up a bit damn. Look at MJB, her material is funky and yet age appropriate. It can be done without the antics. SMH

I’m not feeling the song itself anyway and the video is certainly cheesy, corny, wack, gay, flaming, childish, girly etc BUT…..to me its not surprising coming from Mariah (Glitter anyone?). She has always struck me as being more like a flamboyant and over the top homosexual man rather than a woman. I think I am dissappointed because I really do love a lot of her music and she seems a great person. I just wanted this to be the return of a queen, showing the industry how its done by bringing a hot, sexy record that could be taken seriously. Instead she came with something really cutsey & “fun” which can easily be dismissed. She is hella lucky that she has reached that stage in her career where her fan base is so big & loyal that she is almost always guaranteed a success.

but then again it seems the white folk and radios are eating up the song so maybe Mimi is just extremely intuitive at giving the people what it seems they want……all i’m saying is give me some Mary J or Jill Scott anyday over this candy popcorn music lol

The only reason i watched the video was because I LOVE the song.
Mariah is so beautiful though. Her body is incredible. Y’all have to
understand that Mariah loves to flaunt her body and do everything
extra sexy…and she does it well. I’m not hating!!

why she acts like she’s still 16 ?

@ Mike

Look it’s obvious you’re a stan for Mariah, and that’s cool, but let’s be honest the video was wack.

I understand that she was ‘trying’ to have a sense of humor but, for me, it just came off as corny…especially that geek.

The song was just wack in itself, I expected this album/single to be so much more than this crap.

And how can you say that Mariah wanted to take a break from the Timberland/T-Pain genre, when her song, ‘Migrate,’ was produced by Danja who is an apprentice to Timberland…and isn’t that track suppose to feature T-Pain?

When Janet last 2 albums dropped she was blacklisted. Now considering the fact that she was blacklisted and didn’t really promote those albums, for them to both still hit platinum status says a lot about Ms Jackson.

poooooleeeeeze mariah stop tryna be somthing you r not chipmonk you r and 19 you r not

I hate this STUPID VIDEO. Mariah GROW UP AND PUT SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON.

Mariah needs to grow up. Its soo funny how double standard people are. Mariah is nearing 40, she has no booty, just big fake boobs, but when someone like Janet or Toni dresses sexy (they always dress sexy but its never like a teenager) half of you say they are doing too much and especially with Toni you guys go off the wall saying isn’t she a mom, isn’t she married, isn’t she 40? Newflash Mariah isn’t a teenager anymore. Either way I like the song, its cute, video is like most Mariah video’s corny.

Mimi never fails with her music…i love this song…but she is so over time top with her body. I mean it’s something i have come to accept from her, but at times i can actually say it’s annoying.

But as far as this song goes, IT’S A HIT FOLKS!

She can’t be serious. Doesn’t she know most of her fans are grown ass people, that video is so corny. T

wow i never knew her butt was sooo flat! she hides it well

anyway she’s fallen off in everything imo: voice, looks, class
when she was married to tony and he forced her to have class. when she left him, her class stayed with him. she walks around like a tramp. mariah is the biracial paris hilton. now i’m just waiting for the black paris hilton to come along and then we’ve touched all bases. goodness
such a double standard though b/c ppl call gabby a ho when she’s hardly ever linked to anyone yet mariah walks around damn near naked and she gets praise smh

hate the song and video!!!!!!

lol ….the video was not what i expected at all. neither are the comments. lol.

but then again, if she put a video out rubbing on herself…or having some dude rub on her, she’d be labeled a whore. lol.

i don’t think she gives a damn what the ‘black’ public has to say, since they seem to be the most fickle of audiences anyways.

the song’s gonna be big……and the 100+ comments on here will do very little to change that.

lol is this a joke video? thats hilarious …

nice song, awful video - the guy looked crazy…and mariah needs to hang up the too short dresses (enough already)

catchy album title…works well

Granted she looks sexy in the opening scene, what she should have done is played the Kim Catrell part (sex in the city ) of the older sexy woman and that would have been SEXY and FLY…but she chose to look sexy and seem stupid.

Here’s my advice…Darken the Hair, cover up the tits…and open ur mouth and single…and sing…like you did in VANISHING, IF IT”s OVER…..

Janet, mariah, whitney…Madonna, Kyle, Aretha are all older woman and they always pushing up there tits….like they need some sex esteem boast after 30.

whack

ok this video is weak as hell n i dont really like the song i dont know what the fu(k mariah carey was thinking with this shit, the video is just really dumb as hell n i dont think it’ll do that well. Just because her name is Mariah Carey doesn’t mean a damn thing!

I wasn’t a fan of the song at first listen. However, I do like the song now. The video was okay, not what I expected based on the song. I want run to see the video any time soon,but the song will be played with the volume turned up!

Mariah needs to move in another direction when it comes to her videos. But then I guess “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” (Damn this passive/agressive)………pisses me off-LOL!

Why do people like this song? I loved back over the past 15yrs and this song dosn’t come close to any hit she has had.

i like the song a lot more than i first did…i guess i didnt really give a chance. its actually really really REALLY cuuute!! i love mariah. this vid was really typical, but i still liked it lol and shes looking better than ever too!! what is she…in her late 30s? get it!! hahaha

Bubblegum…

Loose weight naturally @ healzoo dot com

Yea video is whack

She trying so hard that it so transparent.Sex kitten role is getting old.Come on Mimi.

My other comment was waiting mod. what I say lol!

Ugh. What a bunch of fucking dumbass haters. First off, retards, the video is MEANT to be this way, because Mariah is poking fun at herself. She’s poking fun of the the fact that moronic idiots like yourselves are constantly telling her she’s too old to be doing this, or that. How she’s 40 years old or going on 40 and shouldn’t be dressing like a 12 year old. That’s part of the concept of the video. Hence the unicorn. She’s poking fun at people who are constantly dissing her, and trying to tell her how to live her life. Then she has the nerd who fantasizes about what it would be like to spend a day with Mariah. It’s his vision of her. That would also explain why she’s dressed the way she is. Mariah doesn’t dress like a school girl on the streets, you idiots. She doesn’t go walking the streets in little mini skirts, boots, and with socks on. It’s all apart of the concept of the video. Mariah is VERY smart. She knows when she does things like this, the idiotc haters will eat it up. She’s on purposely getting on her haters nerves, and it works EVERY TIME. The more they keep dissing her lifestyle and the way she dresses, the more she’s going to keep on doing it. It’s just her way of saying “I’m not gonna stop”. Kinda like Janet once jokingly said, that she won’t stop posing topless until she’s 80, Mariah is doing the EXACT same thing. She’s very smart.

For the moron who said, Mariah can’t sing anymore? What kind of bullshit is that? In case you miss the reviews for Mariah’s last tour, dumbass, you would have seen that that every last one was in favor of her vocals. Even stating that Mariah still has that voice. Indeed she does. Just because she chooses not to hit high notes, use malisma, and her full chest voice all of the time that doesn’t mean that she can no longer sing. I saw Mariah live back in 06 and her vocals were nothing short of amazing. There was not ONE raspy note. If you idiots want singers who are constantly oversinging and using so much malisa, then go fucking listen to Christina Aguilera, and Patti Labelle. Why should Mariah always have to use to full chest voice in every song? Even though the Vh1 review for her album said, that she’s mostly using chest voice on this album. And just like the Fox News review stated, her vocals have gone through a little wear, and tear, but she still has it vocally. Mariah is an amazing singer.

As for the idiots who keep on bringing up Mariah’s supposed use of payola, what proof do you have? She was never on the list of payola using artists. If Mariah is using payola, then so is her label mate Janet, and everybody else who is on Island Def Jam. For the record, Janet’s FB video is wack as hell and is one of the worst videos of 08. She didn’t bring anything new to the table. Everything on Discipline could have easily been sung by Britney Spears. Especially since most of the material on that album sounds like recycled rejects from Blackout.

Mariah is gonna rule in 08 and shut the haters down once again. Idiots. TMB is destined to become a smash. Mariah knows how to appeal to the masses very well. I bet most of these clowns who are bringing extreme hate to Mariah, are the same imbeciles who post over on Perez’s site, and crappy TMZ.

mariah & tight fitting clothes.
ummmmm, yeah……

Excuse a few of the grammar and spelling mistakes I made.

She is being Mariah, love her or hate her. I wonder if you know who did a video like this (I hate to bring this child up), she would have gotten rave reviews from her ”dedicated” fans.

i think #128 needs a hug

SONG iiS HoT!

WTF! If this wasn’t the most predictable video ever. It’s not her fault but that producer was wack. How many times have we seen the video where it was all a dream. Where is the originality people? I enjoyed looking at her body but that was it.

For the record, Janet’s FB video is wack as hell and is one of the worst videos of 08. She didn’t bring anything new to the table. Everything on Discipline could have easily been sung by Britney Spears. Especially since most of the material on that album sounds like recycled rejects from Blackout.
__________________________________________________________________

You’ve got to joking??? LMFAO!!!

I suppose you’re right, I mean who could deny such talented lyrics like, ‘oohh touching my body,’ oh and the rubbing and caressing of her body in skimpy dresses…that right there was a classic trademark move!

_______________________________________________________________

How she’s 40 years old or going on 40 and shouldn’t be dressing like a 12 year old. That’s part of the concept of the video. Hence the unicorn. She’s poking fun at people who are constantly dissing her, and trying to tell her how to live her life

_______________________________________________________________

Okay so you’re saying that the skimpy outfit is a part of a whole ploy to try to diss herself? Hmm…let’s think about that for a minute…what was her excuse on cribs? Because on that episode she was walking around in stripper heels w/ a micro mini…or what about hr videos from ‘We Belong Together,’ ? There have been countless videos where she looks like a whore…but I guess w/ your logic she must have been making fun of herself for years…unbeknowst to the public!

But you are right, this album will probably move 700k units in the first week…not b/c it’s a great album but b/c it’s Mariah. If you read any of the comments on Perez’s site those ‘white folks’ have bashed it too!

The whole ting is wack

THIS IS A BIG JOKE, I THOUGHT THE SONG WAS CUTE. THE VIDEO IS WHACK!

sof this dumb ass song and video !!!!!!!!
MARIAH CAREY is wack

ALL YOU DUMB ASS PEOPLE….saying Mariah needs to grow up…like Janet Jackson? Why because shes wearing big oversized pants and covering her cleavage means shes grown up? Because Mariah does a funny and hilarious video with a guy from a show she likes being humerous means shes being childish? I mean how dumb do u people get?

You people should really stop trying to fight Mariah down….its getting pathetic….shes a grown woman IN TODAYS MUSIC WORLD….if you want grown up and washed up….GO BUY A CELINE DION RECORD….or better yet..Whitney should be dropping something soon….but then again Janet released yesterday so feel free!

Poor Mariah wants to show her body off to the world. (since she lost some weight) Okay we see it, now let’s hear that voice of yours sing those pretty high notes.

Love that song, the video is alright, its not that bad at all…………..

I’m slightly dissapointed in the video, Emancipation of Mimi all of the videos were fire, it made me love It’s Like That even more but this was just ok. I’m a big Mariah fan since self-titled but I’m hoping the second single comes better than this one, I love the song but the video could have been better. It’s not horrible but it’s not amazing

The fact tha she wants to look sexy is her choice, she is a grown woman and she is in touch with her intimate sexual side and her body is amazing and Fabulous and if she wants to wear the short dresses and skirts she can because she is Mariah and she is grown. It’s her..

the song is growing on me i like it but the video not, but i’m GLAD to see someone come and shut Ms. Knowles overexposed a** down, gee whiz!! she can’t outsell Mariah YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#136. Uh yeah. Obviously you’re an idiot. Seriously. What does Mariah’s crib have anything to do with this? Lol. She was in the comfort of her own home. I don’t exactly remember her wearing hooker heels though. And why in the hell are you mentioning Mariah’s WBT video? It’s a music video, you idiot. She doesn’t walk the streets in gowns with tall high heels. Nor does she walk the streets in bandanas across her chest, and booty shorts. It’s all in her music videos.

You obviously don’t get it at all. Which is understandable. I mean what would haters with pea size brains get? Lmao. The lyrics for TMB are fun, sexy, and clever just like many of the reviews have stated. The lyrics aren’t meant to be fucking brilliant. Excuse Mariah for not coming up with the lyrical content of Stevie Wonder, and John Lennon. Lmao. What a joke. The lyrics are sugary and silly but are meant to be in such way. I’m sure “Heavy like a first day period” is something to rave over. Lol.

Again about the video since many of you idiotic haters don’t seem to get it, Mariah is poking fun at herself. She isn’t dissing herself. That doesn’t even make any fucking sense. Lol. She’s poking fun at the fact that she’s eternally 12. Hence the pillow fighting and frisbee tossing. She’s acting like a little child. Why? Because idiots like yourselves are constantly telling her to grow up, and act her age. Telling her how to run her life. When in reality, Mariah Carey is just being Mariah Carey. She has always had that bubbly personality. She is displaying it all in this video. It’s not just typical Mariah.

In this video, she’s playing on people perception of her. Notice how she opens the door in her panties, walks around the crib with this nerd in hardly anything, but her underwear and bra, pillow fighting, and just acting a fool. Lol. Not to mention the unicorn. It’s all in good play. You idiots just got played. I mean her fans just knew that the haters would watch this video, and not get the whole concept of it. This is also what the nerd visions. He visions Mariah wearing next to nothing in her crib, and playing frisbee in a school girl uniform. Mariah is playing on two parts in this video. She’s teasing her haters and she’s giving the nerd what he has fantasized about. It’s all fun and play.

But then of course you all don’t get it! I bet if this was Janet, you’d all suck it up, and think it was something brilliant. But let me not forget that CL is mostly a blog for blacks.

Mariah in 08! Do the damn thing woman and show the hatas how it’s done! TMB will be a smash! I smell an 18th #1. I’m out!

Uh sorry to disappoint you but Mariah has lot her voice. She’ll NEVER sound like what she did in the beginning of her career. Her voice has gotten so thin and weak that she uses a bunch of backup singers and live band to drown out her deteriorating voice. Just face it, she sings the way she does now because she doesn’t have the pipes she used to have

mariah’s voice amazing? uh…just look at her Grammy performance of We Belong Together, it was nothing short of shitastic.

Oh and by the way, I just read the chart predictions for Janet’s Discipline album and according to HDD, it will sell about 180k. Wow. That’s really low for a comeback album. That doesn’t even come close to the first week sales of Mariah’s TEOM which sold about 403k in it’s first week!

Go Mariah!

yeah at 40 you really should stop phucking and trying to be sexy. it just comes across as desperate when you’re that old and trying to have sex all the time like you’re still in your 20s. your old azz should be worried about your mortgage and life insurance not trying to act like you’re azz is young enough to get screwed. leave that to all the youngins
