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.

love the video T.I is so hotttt!!

22. Sherae -
Maaannnnn...and I actually liked this song too..That is, before she tried to appeal to the urban market by slapping a rapper in it where he doesn't fit, I did. And if this is supposed to be about love, WHY is it that ALL we see is her caressing herself standing on a rock and splashing in water?????? What does any of that have to do with loving anyone except herself?? Stupid video..stupid woman...

23. freakygirl23 -

24. canton customer -

First of all this single is no way hiphop. This is however a very nice pop video. It is Mariah in her element of the sand, the beach, and the dolphins. So, would we want to see her in jeans and stuff..Um.No. She is on her game. I don't think TI is the right guy for this cameo. It will be the end summer hit

MARIAH NEEDS TO STOP DOING THE SAME WRITHING AND SUCH FLAGRANT T.and A. VIDEOS HER MUSIC IS GOOD SHE CAN SING BUT HER VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS THE SAME HER FLAUNTING HER EQUIPMENT AND ALWAYS THE SAME WAY ..C MON WITH THE AMOUNT OF VIDS THE GIRL MAKES XCAN SHE DO SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT JUST ONCE ..LIKE WEAR CLOTHES ...ITS POSSIBLE TO LOOK GOOD WITHOUT STICKING YOUR BOOBS IN THE CAMERA SCENE AFTER SCENE LOOKIN LIKE YOUR HAVIN SEX WITH YOURSELF .

"...changes into no less than a half-a-dozen bikinis."

Does that even matter? So what if she's changing outfits? Why focus on something so trivial?

Love her or hate her, good or bad, she would not be around if people did not like what she does.

No one has the right to judge anyone else. There are two sides to everything. We don't know hers.
