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 should have stayed the way she was. she was beautiful and talented, and still is but now it just seems as if she's a high end prostitute. what do the pamela andersons of the world tell their children? how do they explain to a little girl who is struggling with body issues that all that matters is how you look and how little clothing you have on?

Aw, well she plays with her hair too much, why doesn't she wear a beret or something. Makes you wonder what she'd do with her hands if she was buzzed.

I like this video a lock and I am past fifty. I generally do not watch or buy videos this one I would. You Mariah have always warmed my heart with your over the top sexiness, class and natural beauty. Please keep it up . Honor God in everything you do and he will continue to honor you.
