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.

She looks great but the video looks something Paris Hilton would have done...in a bathing suit (lol)... She looks great...at 38? Yet its noo big hype since the new 20s is at age 40 - Someone at her age (with no kids, no hubby-then) SHOULD look like that!!! Seriously...especially with money for a professional fitness trainer!! Great video to promote her not the song...

She needs to do something other than rolling around half naked singing ... she has done this too many times allready. We are a people that require more than that for entertainment. Her voice is incredible and can stand on its own without her having to make woman look like our music only sells if we are sexy!!!

71. Aileen -
Don't be a hater! She's an awesome entertainer and came back stronger than ever. Mariah you rock girl! I mean come on, she's pushing forty and looks hot like that! Does everyone feel the same about Madonna jumping around on cars at fifty? Sex sells and business is good.

74. Yahoo! Music User -
whoever post this blod is annoying and quite overlly judgemental. Just because you have a soouse doesnt mean you have to work with them

75. ESTER -
There is no doubt that Mariah has a great voice but for as long as I can remember her videos were mostly focused on just her. But then again, what else can she do when she can't act or dance.

76. JeanT -
Mariah is SO in love with herself that I have a hard time enjoying watching her do anything, talk shows included. Yes, she's built and yes, she can sing, but don't make me watch her love herself please. And I've never seen her that she didn't act smug and all about herself.

77. Cheese -
It's amazing how she hasn't changed in looks a bit since her "Butterfly" days... Yet, if we all had her money we'd be that way too.

78. yahoo -
Every time I see mariah, she's rubbing her breasts. No kidding. She's so self absorbed. I saw her on Regis and Kelly the other day, and she could not quit looking at herself in the monitor! She even talked about how she had to keep looking at herself in the monitor. She may be able to sing, but she's about as shallow as they come.

She should focus less on developing her body, and try to work on her mind and (more importantly) her spiritual life. She may grow less shallow and think about more important life matters than her breasts....and that would be a good thing.

I know that I will probably get some flack for my comment, but here it goes. What in the world does it matter about her and her husband? You are supposed to like music for what it is, music. It is supposed to make you feel something because of it. It should be about what you like. I have a bigger problem in the fact that people come out with songs that are grammatically incorrect. "I'll be lovin' u long time," I mean really. You know as a celebrity that people pay attention to you. Don't you think that you should be educated??? As I said, I will probably get some flack, but I think that lyrics in songs should be a complete sentence or in the very least, a grammatically correct thought.

keep releasing those hits!
