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…

@ Nichole
It’s obvious to me that you’re a stan.
Let me start off by giving Mariah her credit, in the past she has written some very beautiful, grown up songs that women can relate to. Mariah is a beautiful talented woman.
Now here’s MY opinion…
Funny how you keep referring to me - and others who don’t share your opinion - idiots, lol! Mariah is and always will be a desperate woman trying to recapture her youth by prancing around in skimpy outfits. I mentioned cribs only to point out how ridiculous she looks, even in the comfort of her own home. I mention her video, ‘We Belong Together,’ and ‘Don’t Forget About Us,’ to further illustrate how, even in these serious songs regarding relationships, she still manages to wear skimpy outfits, and play w/ herself -boobs- whatever. Like I stated in my earlier post if she is supposedly poking fun @ herself by displaying the same actions and wardrobes that she’s been using for the last 10 years then, she’s definitely been poking fun of herself for YEARS! The only difference is that now, her STANS, have an excuse for her actions.
I don’t personally believe that she’s poking fun of herself, just look @ the cover of her single for the song! Matter of fact look @ all the covers of all her albums in the last 10 years and then look @ the titles, ‘Rainbow,’ ‘Glitter,’ ‘Charmbracelet,’ this chick has serious issues! All the titles of the songs on this latest album, are expected from a 20yr old not some desperate 40 yr!
I’m willing to bet that on her next single she’ll be prancing around like a slut…again…so do you plan on using this same arguement? LMAO

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!
____________________________________________________________
Mariah had 3 - count ‘em 3 - consective FLOPS.
The funny thing is, is that Janet’s excuse was that she blacklisted and the albums weren’t promoted. What do you suppose was Mimi’s excuse for her flops?
LMAO
And I actually smell a 4 flop for Ms Carey! I just hope she don’t have another breakdown…lol

I’m sorry what is wrong with u people. when rihanna or beyonce are in panties in all of their video nobody’s criticizing…
MC can’t do anything whithout being critizized! she’s dressed like an 20 yeard old girl so what?? its for the video it has to be taken at a lower degree.
She has nothing to proove to anybody and i’m sure the coming songs will be awesome as usual.. for the emancipation of mimi everybody was pulling down ‘its like that” but then she won grammys for her album and for ” we belong together”

BRIAN- your reviews are whack! The songs hot, the video’s hot, the album will be hot!
All Other Haters- its called a parody, she’s making fun of herself. She is working outside the box unlike all the other chicks that do their videos in the club…so played…and i’m not even a mariah fan

Wednesday, February 27, 2008 /
Tell me why her and Janet have done the same thing. With decent songs that are catchy and create the buzz and then weird videos!!!!!! JAnet went to space agey all though I understood the concept of her video and all that. With Mariah I don’t even understand the concept. Panties and bra with a banging ass body of course and ugh…I don’t know.

I thought the video was going to be different from the photos that were posted on CL a little while ago, but the video wasn’t horrible…..
I just pray that MC is not up to her old Glitter tricks again. I know we all remember those videos i.e. Loverboy

I like the song but the video is stupid. I agree with #1. Mariah needs to grow up and stop bouncing around like a 18 year old and put some clothes on. I also wish she would open up her mouth and sing like she used to and stop all that damn whispering

i kinda like this and see myself rollin to it this summer. i hope when i am her age that i can be in shape like that - i dunno, to me she is just being feminine. if a guy has a nice body, even if he’s a little older, he should show it if he wants to. i read a lot of the comments first and thought this was going to be bad -like glitter, but it’s actually pretty cool. Hm.

lol at all the youngstas hatin on this chicks body…Mariah is Mariah. She isn’t “parading around like a slut”…if you ask me it looks better than the “she-who-must-not-be-named” being damn near naked and gyrating and shaking ass….
kiddies, it is tasteful…Mariah doesn’t have to go there…this is an icon..the voice…the face…hell she ain’t even trying hard…she is Mariah…she doesn’t have to try hard….Being fine is about more than shakin ya ass
and by the way…LOL…WHAT EXACTLY IS AGE APPROPRIATE FOR HER?

Damn she is still fine after all these years. But I have one question how come she aint never giving a brotha no love on her video’s . Everytime she comes out with something I never seen a brotha as the leading man homeboy could even be lightskinned for all I care but I mean damn just a shame. And aint she half black too.She will always be fine to me though no matter what she does She is on the wishful thinking baby mama list all day.Oh yesh a and the video is corny BUT SHE IS STILL FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Janet was blacklisted because her stupid ass stunt on the Superbowl. Nobody was dumb enough to buy into it that it was an accident. At least Justin was smart enough to apologize. Nobody didn’t want to buy her crap after that. She promoted both Damita Jo and 20 Y.O. She definitely promoted Damita Jo by showing her tit on national television. Lmao.
Mariah doesn’t have no effing three consecutives flops. Glitter was her ONLY disaster. Charmbracelet sold over 1 million copies in the US, and nearly 4 million ww. She had nothing to do with what Columbia released. As in referring to her greatest hits and that remix album they released. Janet on the other hand has more studio flops than Mariah, Madonna and Whitney has had in their entire career. Lets not forget about Janet’s first two studio albums before Control. Of course she had to fire her daddy because her shit wasn’t selling. Then she flopped with Damita Jo and bombed hard with 20 Y.O. Yeah…
Mariah’s TMB is gearing up to be a smash and she has the most highly anticipated album of 08. The reviews for the song and album have been nothing short of amazing. So I would hardly say that she’s gearing up for another flop. It certainly looks that way for Janet though. Especially since her album is supposedly not going to push 200k. Lmao.
Again. You can think what you want to think. That’s the CONCEPT of the video. We don’t expect haters to get it. Mariah is on purposely targeting her haters because they are constantly riding her. This is not just a typical Mariah video. Yes she has dressed down in some of her videos, but those videos are nothing like this. Mariah is taking what the public says about her, and mocking them. Notice how people are always stating that she needs to grow up, and act her age. In this video, she’s doing the exact OPPOSITE of that. Instead of acting her age, she’s acting like a 12 year old. Notice the pillow and lazer gun fights. So stop acting as if TMB is a typical Mariah Carey video. She’s poking fun at herself and mocking idiots like yourselves who constantly ride her titties. It has nothing to do with her past videos. She was just being typical Mariah in them. You all want her to grow up, but she’s throwing in your faces that she’s eternally 12 and is not going to do any “growing up” any time soon. Lmao. That’s what she displays in TMB. Then you have the nerd who visualizes what it would be like to be with Mariah. None of it is actually happening. In the end, the nerd awakes from his dream.
Get it now? Probably not. Lol.

Mariah’s voice might not be what it used to be but that is beacuse she spent YEARS singing in middle register! belting songs, singingg whistle register!!!! These things are extremely hard to do, in fact to do all of these things in one song is damn near impossible but Mariah did it!!! And stupid people wonder why her voice is weaker, well duh its going to get weaker, but that doesnt take away from her undeniable talent!!! Mariah is still (even with a croackier voice) one of the best singers on earth!!!
HATERZ are soo bloody ignorant.

Girl calm down with that long ass diatribe you just gave us about Mariah.(185) Obviously you read that blog (HDD or some such thing) and they predicted 180k right? You forgot to mention that’s first day sales only boo. How did you turn a Mariah topic into one about bashing Janet? Mariah has had 3 flops. Even though Glitter is a soundtrack she still recorded it in the studio boo and not in the woods. Out of all those artists that you named not one of them can say they’ve had 5 back to back #1 albums. Stop going to Wiki for your facts and start hitting up the RIAA. The first two albums weren’t considered flops because she was a new artist. Both of those albums had high R&B chart hits. I could care less about the video but I did have to put the check on your chest about your “facts” concerning Janet. Do the math next time little girl

Yea, I agree. Does Mariah need a hug? Would someone please tell her she’s gorgeous so she can stop trying so so hard to prove that she is? And those painted on abs at the end, come on Mariah. We love your voice, please just sing and stop whorin yourself out like you don’t have an actual talent-based (not stunt/sex-based) career.

BUT I COULD WATCH THE VID MOS DEF…LOL
204.
so confused by the fake mariah????
Wednesday, February 27, 2008 /
This song and video is like faux R&B mixed with a little bit of “Weird Al Yankovic”.
The purpose of this song is only for cross over, if you ask me, between young Black kids who don’t really care about the quality of music anywayz yet they have their parents MONEY that they are using to buy crappy music, herein, MONEY transcends all…. And this is also a cross into the market of little white kids who don’t really care about quality R&B anywayz - cuz how many white kids listen to quality R&B in the first place…
This is simply ‘grown and sexy’ for ‘play play’…. !
What does all this mean? —- Mariah has sold herself out - out of making high quality music - for MONEY purposes only.
I mean seriously. She’s been genuine up til now - or at least nearly genuine. But the big house and the fake nerd??? Really Mariah… stick to singing good music — leave the entertainment to Beyonce.

I cant believe what i’m seeing. The song is cheesy followed up by a cheesy corny video! EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED! People are blinded by talent sometimes. Mariah is one of the most talented women in the game…but she is EXTREMELY TASTELESS AND CLASSLESS…she always has been and always will be, and i dont understand why people expect anything less of her. She’d much rather look like a video girl rather than a natural woman. Those big fake breasts…come on now are you serious? Her body looks amazing, and she can sing like no one else! But shes cheesy…so is the song, so is the video..and again…im not shocked and i dont know why any1 else is…TYPICAL MARIAH!!!

Mariah sucks. Her body is horrible and isn’t she like 40 years old she needs to grow up because she is old and tired. Nothing but a Whitney wannabe. I’ll take Mary, Alicia, and Beyonce over Mariah’s wack screaming no body having ass. Next!! I’d rather get Janet’s album then this crap.

I wish Bey would hurry up with her album so I can finally have some hot songs to listen to. Both Mariah’s song and video are wack. Even Ashanti came harder and better than this. I’d rather listen and watch her video.

I liked the video. Not eveything has to be so serious, the woman has been in the business for almost 20 years…don’t you think she deserves to do a funny video? I mean everything else has already been done, at this stage in the game she has nothing to prove!
Also, I think her body is banging and who said dressing like that was relegated only to the teeny boppers and the 20 year olds? When I get to her age I hope to still be rocking it too! I mean 40 is the new 30 and this woman isn’t even 40 yet so cut her a break.
Forget the haters, Mariah…keep doing you, Ma!

im the biggest lamb ever , but this video aint doing much for me. the song is okay . hopefully shell come bac harder on the next song and vid. i jus wish shed cover up cus there is no need to dress like that when u have a such a tremendous talent. ive noticed its a pattern ever time she come out, shell release a midtempo song and then shell release a big ballad. she been doing this since daydream. also is it just me , cause i noticed that she never releases an album out at the same time as rihanna, janet, beyonce, mary, alicia etc. itz cause she is the queen of selling records and she will shut them down except 4 mary and alicia cus they sell regardless but the rest forget it. i never bootleg her albums cuz mimi never dissapoints. anywho i cant wait till her album comes out. out mimi rocks!!!

OK……. MARIAH GROW UP………..
This song is super wack and should have been given to someone like Ciara or Mya or someone who really cant do a lot vocally. This is a huge disappointment from someone who is named as one of the best to do it. The media however will once again brain wash the public into liking this garbage.
The video is corny.. Mariah’s upper body always looks “loose” and disproportioned. No matter what type of visual effects they apply to her film work her arms and shoulders always look huge and so does her face (notice how shes aging in her face). She doesn’t have a bad body for 40, but a better choice of wardrobe would suit her better. (maybe stop trying to compete with Beyonce and the others in the 2nd generation)
This video is Ultra wack…. It lacks a motive, Its very typical Mariah, same hair, boring poses, redundant close-ups and looks like it should be a Best-Buy or Pizza Hut commercial. To Top it off- MC is trying to be way too sexy way too much, This is one of the reasons shes never tops a sexiest womens list. The whole forced sexually “look at me please”/ “Is anyone watching” is becoming redundant as well. Baddest Chick in the game???? If that title had to go to anyone in the 40+ category.. I believe it would respectfully go to Halle Berry. Mariah needs to take notes from a real woman who acts her age and not her couture gown size…..

I agree with #46
I’m really feeling the song and I thought the video was really funny. I can honestly say that there isn’t another out like it. I would have been bored if we got another Mariah rolling around with No-Name model/actor with her hair blowing in the wind vid.
And as ALWAYS you can never see enough of her body, you all can say she needs to stop as much as you want, but the bottom line is the bitch is bangin and can do and wear whatever the hell she pleases. She could be nekkid in the next video and I wouldn’t mind one bit! All that hating is just jealously. Stop Hating and start participating.
Mariah is my #1

Ok, I like the song. The video…not so much. I mean the video isn’t bad its okay, but I definitely didn’t expect the video to have some nerdy guy in it. And Mariah in a school girl outfit? She said on MTV that because of the song’s lyrics, she wanted to go the other way with the video.

A bunch of dumb black people. HELLO!!!! its a NERDS fantasy of spending a day with Mariah, hence the laser tagging, race car racing, frisby etc. If she was in a club or walking around the hood with some thugged-out looking gangsta with abs yall would have been like ‘that sh!t was hot’. Fun song, fun video, period.
And for people who says she needs to grow up….umm why? so she she can barely sell 500 thousand records like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, or Tamia. Half of yall black azzes dont even buy albums, you get them bootleg from the beauty shop.
Mariah is a beast. nearly 20 years into her career and she’s still dropping hits, and the haters are still on her azz.
