I totally agree! I like Mariah,but her videos are boring and predictable.All she does is pose,lay back and show off her body.Don't get me wrong,she is FINE as hell but she does the same thing in EVERY video! At the very least,she should at least try a new hair style,lol.

DavidEye said:

why do you guys like Mariah? seriously, I'm asking. not to be rude. what is it about her? I agree she's had good songs here and there but overall her LPs, videos, performances, outfits...honestly what do you like about them.

"don't forget about us" is a lazy attempt at making another #1 for mariah.

Payola's doing that for her already

I liked when her buhind got humbled offa Gliter and such. Now she's trying to go back to hootchie mama. Please, be like when Motolla groomed ya. Not saying to act like you were Celine Dion again but you are pushing 40 and need a different steelo. Your no.1 coup was a good sign (We Belong Together), dont blow it by acting a ditzy ho again. Please. We took ya back and made ya queen again, and you came back with a strong voice and strong material. Stop ho-ing it away PLEASE!

Yes, her videos are tired. At least they used to have some sort of theme or even story line. I get tired of watching her try to be sexy laying around and posing. Get over yourself, Mariah!

Her videos are so embarrassing to watch. I feel sorry for her, but she seems to be enjoying herself, so what the hell. Maybe one day she'll wake up and realize that she's a singer not a stripper. I can't take anything she says or does seriously. She comes off like a total bimbo.

Really, is that why she had a string of smash hits off her first IDJ album Pearlnecklace? FYI, you can get indie's to throw all the money they want at PD's that doesn't mean it'll get spins. IF Mariah's songs were doing bad on callout research and getting payola under the table. You would only hear the song on countdowns and over night spots. She wouldn't be getting half the spins she does if it was strictly payola. I know for a fact Z100 the biggest station in the country was quite weary of La Carey. They did the research and it came back solid thus the generous helping of airplay spins.

I dig Mariah again but I'm still sick of her acting like a sexpot fool. She's beautiful without having to do that so when I see her trying to look all Britney Spearish, I just roll my eyes. She needs to stop that shit NOW!

well I like her cuz i think shes a good singer and has nice songs. i LOVED glitter (movie and soundtrack) and i played charmbracelet for the longest time after i got it

I love her because she is so hottt! I also love her voice, and her videos are eally easy on the eyes. Actually, I've been in love with her since the beginning of her career, even when she was being groomed to be a Celine Dion-type singer and was acting really innocent. I can't really explain to other people how deeply I've been into her for so long; I think it's really on a subconscious level. As for all of those people who say Mariah does the same ole Playboy/hoochie mama posing in her videos; are you going to say that Madonna should stop playing up the sexual aspect of her videos as well?

Having said that, while I enjoy watching Mariah in her videos, I'm really sort of surprised that she has not done any conceptual videos on any artistic level yet. TLC was really good at doing this, as they did for "Waterfalls" and "Unpretty", Mary J. Blige did "No More Drama", and even Madonna did a conceptual video for "Ray of Light" that didn't revolve around her trying to vamp up her sexuality. I know Mariah has recorded songs which could lend themselves to this. I wonder how Michel Gondry or Spike Jonze would treat her videos?

That would be too good that it won't happen, Michael Gondry aint TRL friendly.
I'm not a Mariah fan for her videos. I got Bjork for that!

I think Tommy Mottola really messed her up, she's been basically whoring herself at every opportunity since. She seems to think it's impossible to look sexy without showing EVERYTHING she's got at EVERY opportunity.

But having said that I'm actually enjoying her music at the moment, and good for her on her revival because people were so happy to dismiss her as crazy, she's definitely hot at the moment.

Why is that Motollas fault? He kept her decent. It's when she broke free of him did she begin her hootchie phase as a slap in his face. And never quit.

the "cant take that away" vid was kinda concepty

DiamondGirl said:

It's not Tommy's fault. It just seems like she's been in some sort of rebellion since the divorce. And in every interview she makes a point of telling how miserable she was with him, and how the real "inner Mimi" couldn't shine through.

She's always been boring as fuck in her videos, & even more boring since she bought tits & swears they're her best accessory

This shit ain't new...

You know how some people get addicted to coloring their hair, getting fake nails, or visiting a tanning bed every other day – I think that’s Mariah’s problem in a ‘whorish’ sense. I think she wears a micro-mini, does a big ol’ hairdo, and acts like a sexy vamp (or tramp) because she thinks that’s what the people expect/want from her. Perhaps she considers donning a suit or more proper, formal dress – but then her skanky past permeates her thoughts and she fears from deviating.

I like Mariah. I love her songs and I like every single one of her albums, but what I’ve never cared for is her sense of style (or lack thereof). I thought Mariah looked her very best on MTV Unplugged. Her hair and face were breathtaking. Couple those with her voice – and she’s a 10. Now that she’s found fame once again, what Mariah needs more than anything is a new, talented stylist. Remember when J Lo came onto the scene wearing camel-toe revealing leggings and ponytails draped over headbands? She found a great stylist and learned how to accentuate her assets. Mariah is a pretty lady with a nice body – she simply needs to acquire some class.

She's made her point. She's getting too old for this hoochie shit now.
She's starting to make an ass of herself.

Maybe she is just enjoying her sexuality and likes to show off. I don't really see anything wrong with that. Actually I kinda think her feminnity is enduring. They say women reach their sexual peak around age 30 so maybe this is her way of expressing that.

Krystal666 said:

Excuse mefor this, but Mariah doesn't have sexuality she looks like Shamu's little sister instead of a grown ass woman when she shows off her sensual side

Krystal666 said:

Then maybe she should start acting like a 35-year-old sexual woman instead of a 10-year-old girl on the cusp of puberty playing dress-up in her mother's closet.

I would like to add is it just me or she puttin' on weight. I don't see nothing wrong with you wearing sexy outfits no matter what age IF you still have the BODY for it, but I look at her in these outfits and I can't breathe. Looks like age spread, she needs to come down on her weight if she's still gonna keep wearing these outfits.

I love Mariah's songs. I think her videos are just like all the other mainstream artists' out there. Honestly, if she didn't do those videos, she might not be as popular as she is right now. You can't blame her. Sex sells. Not to mention she has a gorgeous body. It would be one thing if people only liked her for her slutty videos, but they're only a part of the appeal. She would be more respectable without those "playboy poses" as someone put it, but she's still good in my eyes.
