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 is a beatiful woman, but i wish she cover her self more. it looks like she likes to show her body a lot. some years ago i saw her concert in england and loved her! she looked great in a long black dress, very polished and it made her look so beatiful. back then she was still with Tommy, these days i don't like her anymore, she is never dress good enymore.

She and Brooke Burke have the best fake boobs ever. And, I don't like fake boobs as a rule.

Wow....people have no minds or opinions for themselves these days! The fact that coolvet34 states "The woman is the most relevant female singer in music today......and has a voice that is a God giving instrument" yeah...1st of all that would be given not giving...come on people....do we not know grammar & how to use the english language!!)"that has influnced" (once again mispelled) "Christina,leona,kelly/beyonce to name a few. She is the Queen of pop/R&B"....even more sad is how this person and others of the same mentality actually believe she influenced Christina!!!!! Christana has a far better voice that is ACTUALLY god given & not processed in the studio...people need to get a life.....so sad....so sad....don't you people realize most must these days is strictly marketing....not talent!

97. SCHMO -
Anyone who has her money and personal trainers and plastic surgery can look just as good

98. Melissa -

99. Yahoo! Music User -
way to much movement she sings allittle bit to high but looks good !!!!!!!!!!!!

Boooo! Although she looks good especially the shots being digitally enhanced this video is just like all her other videos. she's either in a bikini, bikini top, has water in the video, or has her hair blowing. It's getting boring and if you guys saw pics of her during the making of this video you'd know she definitely doesn't look as good as the video is making her to be. The video is beautiful but i'm just being honest. Same thing she does in almost all her videos
