Mariah: "I'll Be Lovin' [Myself] Long Time"

Posted Thu Jul 3, 2008 4:30pm PDT by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training

In order for this experiment to work, you must read this blog before watching the video.

Here's your chance to see if you have what it takes to be a director for Mariah's new video.

I'm going to give you a couple elements and I want you to come up with an idea that you think Mariah would approve.

1) The title of the song is "I'll Be Lovin' You Long Time."

2) The video will be released in July.

3) The video will feature a cameo from rap superstar T.I.

4) Mariah Carey recently married actor, comedian, rapper, entrepreneur Nick Cannon.

You've got 10 seconds and 150 characters to write a treatment for the video.

___________________________________________

If you really know Mimi well your treatment would be similar to this:

Mariah shoots the video on the beach and changes into no less than a half-a- dozen bikinis. Shots of T.I. rapping are spliced in.

If your idea was on par with the above and you are not working professionally as a video director, you should consider a career change. Had you taken the right career path, you could have just made $25,000, or whatever inflated fee a pop star's video director makes. Don't you feel bad?

Well, how do you think Nick Cannon feels? He's only been married to Mariah for a month and has already been pushed on the backburner for another rapper.

If you didn't correctly figure out the theme for this video, don't feel bad. Just bookmark this page and try again upon the release of her next video. It will still apply.

i expected the video just be her smiling & singing her as off. but it wouldve been a bit cliche if the video was her singing to nick carey..i mean nick cannon and rubbing him at a beach. oh well, the song will still be toppin the charts soon can't wait!

If you got it, flaunt it.

The woman is the most relevant female singer in music today. She is always a step ahead of the trend and has a voice that is a God giving instrument that has influnced Christina,leona,kelly/beyonce to name a few. She is the Queen of pop/R&B. Calling her a puppet is as stupid as saying she can't sing anymore why should her husband be in her video when he didn't contribute a rap???? Haters!!!

13. MARIAH #1 -
i love this video...she looks good and i love how they incorporated the remix in with the original...this is hott...haters go away!!!

Mariah isn't taken seriously unfortunately and that is her own fault.
The queen of R&B...ahem....maybe POP....but not R&B.
I've already given her too much attention by writing this.
