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 can't even begin to understand why people hate on Mariah Carey so much...the woman can sing, period, shutup, listen, and enjoy it while you can =]

42. Yahoo! Music User -
Not only a "HO," but she can only decide on whether she's black or white depending on which answer will benefit her.

Aside from that, she's a mental, sqealing, bazitch that just needs to fade away...in a very quiet manner.

OMG Squared! LOVE. IT. Looking amazing for a brutally smashing summer song!

44. Jack -
For years music has taken a back seat to Mariah's infatuation with her body and pop culture. She may be hot, but she's not got my respect.

45. sallyh -
Great video. You go, girl.

46. shadequa -
i love mariah that's my idol. the video was hot. this blog is obviously silly because 1.TI is married and 2.nick wasn't rapping in the song so his cameo wasn't necessary. she's definitely not a puppet u guys are just hating!

47. Yahoo! Music User -
WWWHHHOORREEEE

It seems to me that all songs have lost any meaning lately due to music videos. I mean, most of the time, as exhibited here, no matter what the song is about or what it's saying, the artist is either A) If female, the artist is dancing sexualy while scantily dressed or B)if male, dancing sexually while surrounded by females that are scantily dressed.
De ja vu, anyone?

52. Yahoo! Music User -

53. JoeR -
Boring from within. The director with the shadows and cuts couldn't make this has been has.

The song is riper than a nectarine saved in a car trunk in the Gobi.

Mariah, your makeover is really a doneover. And out.

She looks hot...and sounds like from heaven. I love the way she smiles at the end. Mariah rocks!

I love Mariah and the video! She deserves the accolades and admiration for staying in the game for this long and still hanging on to the top spot. She's a beautiful woman inside and out.
