Okay..So..Yeah...on the positive side, I love #Beautiful even more now than when I reviewed it, here- I see some of you canny folk clocked on to the grade change * side-eyeing Mperry93*. But the accompanying video...I'm not sure I can deal with right now. I'm tempted to rip off some of the hilarious commentary occurring on the site chatbox and spin it as my own, but instead I'll leave the video here and let you guys deal with it in whatever way you see fit in the comments.....
...Oh who am I kidding, I have to say something! Don't get me wrong, the video is beautifully (hehehehe) shot and Mariah looks gorgeous, but it all falls down when she tries to work the saucy and seductive angle (yet again).
When will someone have the guts to tell her she's not doing "sexy" right! Heck, even if they can't tell her outright, they could at least give her a few tips on how to improve! It isn't hard, just tone it down and don't over exaggerate every movement! You were already on the right track during the Butterfly era- like in the videos for The Roof and Breakdown. LESS IS MORE DARLING!
Also, while I'm on the subject, there is a time and a place for everything! Don't think I didn't notice you trying to throw some of those moves into the video for Almost Home [See: Here Here]! That was neither the time nor the place! Lord only knows what got left on the cutting room floor.
But I still love you MC! Perhaps even more so for these little idiosyncrasies. Besides, do I really want a truly sexy Mariah? I'm not sure I do. (Wow, this post is going to read like the ramblings of a madman! Not least because I've just talked myself out of my argument!)
Thoughts?
For me personally, the video was a little underwhelming. The filming/cinematics in the motorcycle scenes seemed off to me, maybe too cheesy almost? And like you said, she kind of does try to do sexy a little too much, and it comes across as overkill (especially the scenes where her hair is a mess and she's rubbing her face), because we KNOW that she can do sexy right. On the other hand, the lighting and set in the barn(?) scene looks gorgeous. Maybe the video just didn't have enough overall substance and content for me.
ReplyDeleteOriginally felt it was trashy but have revised a little.
ReplyDeletehttp://youtu.be/8lsb7fzLVSQ
Mariah Carey in a trashy outfit on the back of a motorbike....that just doesn't look right to me. This is the Diva amongst divas.She is Class.
ReplyDeleteThat little yellow dress though, that worked. And she looked gorgeous. She really doesn't need to do much more than just stand there in a dress like that to look utterly sexy.
I agree,less would have been so much more.
Gosh DD, the way you wrote the article is so adorable. I like the video version of the song more. With the flirtatious laugh and simple improvisations. Agreed, the video is #beautiful but the way Mariah exaggerates the movements makes it feel so snobbish.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, it sounds like your definition of less is way different Opie. ;)
ReplyDeleteDOES THIS WOMAN NEVER AGE?!
ReplyDeleteApart from that, I thought that it was a cute video. Good song, overall.

i agree about less is more
ReplyDeletebut damn for someone whos 43, she looks phenomenal - her body is curvy in all the right ways and she still looks sexy as hell
the song is impeccable so simple yet so good - such an easy listen
Does it? How do my words suggest something else and what else? Because I really meant the same as DD. :-)
ReplyDelete"That little yellow dress though, that worked. And she looked gorgeous. She really doesn't need to do much more than just stand there in a dress like that to look utterly sexy." I guess I applied the less is more phrase in the wrong sentence then. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so puritan. Shame on U!
ReplyDeleteMariah did a great job. She knows what to do with herself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5aUZ5bwDNs
Didn't you shut the fuck up yet?
ReplyDeleteI personally enjoyed the entire video. I think that Mariah was kind of over exaggerating some of the movements- but hey the woman's just having fun. The yellow dress looked amazing on her and although I could have lived without the black piece- she definitely still has the body for it. On another note- not only is this woman great at reinventing her image- she NEVER looks old to me! If I didnt know who she was I would have swore she was much younger than 40.
ReplyDeleteI'd tap that!!! And yes, that means both of them....not at the same time though...or maybe..?
ReplyDeleteYou HUSSY FACE! LOL
ReplyDeleteHehe don't worry I will warm one of them up for you ;)
ReplyDeleteI was worried about you when I wrote this post. Thought you'd come for my scalp! LOL
ReplyDeleteAww. thanks!
ReplyDeleteI guess. I just meant that where the motor outfit is trashy ( which I personallly do not consider a synonym for ''sexy'') the dress is sexy and she looks sexy. She doesn't have to try to with all kinds of moves or poses, she already is.
ReplyDeleteFILTH!! LOL I don't think I could ever think of mariah in that way. She's so asexual to me. She is gorgeous though. Perhaps I can film the whole sordid thing. Could be the way to launch your celebrity career. You could be the Scottish Kim K!
ReplyDeleteCan't you just fuck off to English classes yet?
ReplyDeleteBecause mine, you aggressive and annoying child, was a comment paying high compliment to Mariah.
Hahaha you know me by now! Kim K!?! Do you think my booty is big enough?
ReplyDeletehttps://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Wy66zEvAmuk/TyBKVcaljfI/AAAAAAAAA_E/0GcmmnzTGaU/cheeks-daily-booty-gif.gif

ReplyDeleteI was thinking something for like this http://24.media.tumblr.com/a68aa784815e4e162e4b0b7bcceb72f7/tumblr_mjgekplULN1s84g17o1_250.gif
ReplyDeleteOh dear god!!!!!!! I just about spat my coffee all over the screen! I feel violated :D
ReplyDelete...LOL. I need to figure out how to make it so others have to click to see it...Don't want everyone else having the same reaction!
ReplyDeleteTee hee hee! What the hell is that in there anyway? Its like a plasticine implant....it really does not look good!
ReplyDeleteapparently the implant wasn't put behind the muscle...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2277773/Renee-butt-surgery-video-Victim-botched-butt-surgery-speaks-time-moment-implants-flipped-inside-leaving-unsightly-bulges.html
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think her looking truly happy was the best part of the video for me!
ReplyDeleteHaha figures! And serves her right, if she cannot own the little she has got then shame on her ;)
ReplyDeleteAmen! That's why I walk the streets like this : http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lno437lM8Y1qc5kxz.gif
ReplyDeleteI'm actually quite surprised at the negative reaction, even from Diva Devotee! I love the video. I think it's so...Mariah. Yes, she's touching herself a lot, but in a way that's what makes her Mariah. She's so silly and eccentric when it comes to stuff like that. And I think the scenes in the barn are beautiful, if you just boil it down to a woman and her man in complete isolation from the world, out in the country, having fun with each other and being silly and cheeky...then what's wrong with that? It's only because it's Mariah Carey and that you guys are praying to the music gods that she's going to jump out and be her 23 year old self that you hate it.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I like the song, I don't think there's any chemistry between Mariah and Miguel on the song or even in the music video. Granted, they're both in committed relationships, but I definitely think they could have sold it better. I can't shake the feeling that Miguel just emailed the the track to Mariah and told her to add her vocals to the parts where he wasn't singing. Their vocals never really intertwine or meld together. I still really like the song though haha.
ReplyDeleteDon't be shocked, its no biggie really. Also,I wasn't implying I want her to go back to how she was when she was young- especially considering how happy she seems now. I have no beef with what she's wearing, or for that matter what she sings (like most people who DO want her to go back to how she was) . I was only saying if she is going for sexy, which I think she is- oppose to "cheeky" or "Silly"- then it's not quite working (for me). If she is indeed going for "cheeky" and "silly" then boy did she nail it. Nothing really worth getting upset about.
ReplyDeleteHopefully a live showing of the song will help make the chemistry- or lack of it- more apparent.
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOOORRRRRY!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit puzzled where you get the ''you guys hate it'' from.
ReplyDeleteI certainly don't hate it. I just think she doesn't have to try 'acting'' sexy. (Unlike DD) I think she IS sexy just being herself.
Have to say, I personally did not read any hating on Mariah in this entire thread.
I was thinking the same exact thing!
ReplyDeleteI'd really like it if Mariah put the stripper costumes away. She's 43, and I think she needs to put that promiscuous part of her life away, in her music and videos at least. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for sexual expression... but she's 43 and it some point it needs to stop.
ReplyDeleteI also thought it was weird seeing Miguel and Mariah like that, I just wasn't feeling it.
Mariah has never been promiscuous, sure she likes to wear skimpy outfits but there is a massive difference between that and putting the goods out there all over the place for anyone.
ReplyDeleteBesides who says at her age she can't be sexy? Or once one hits 40 should they start wearing tweed suits and never engage in activities that might be deemed inappropriate because they are older? I think she is doing a service to those middle aged women showing them that you can still be sexy, classy and playful at the same time. Its not like she is Madonna and got her crotch just about bursting out...now that's offensive!
Diva Devotee : After Hours.
ReplyDeleteIn the words of my great great grandmother, "Black don't crack" ;)
ReplyDeleteMariah should put more yellow in her wardrobe, it compliments her nicely :)
ReplyDeleteNot crazy about the video though.
Indeed! You can always rely on me to lower the tone :D
ReplyDeleteWhy should age make her stop?
ReplyDeleteU fake ass
ReplyDeleteyou better watch out next time. I"m here for Mimi.
ReplyDeleteWell... Some do apply the "less clothing is more!"
ReplyDeleteBut nowadays it's so abused it's boring :\
Well said Stuey! Also, she's been wearing skimpy outfits since forever. Though, I also agree that the black coloured one should go... It just wasn't right in the video. Maybe another video she would have rocked it, but just no. Not this one.
ReplyDeleteYeh, I have to agree the strappy black look wasn't really doing much for me although I guess for being on a motorbike it was the most practical thing she could think of lol
ReplyDeleteWell, she's just a quarter black right? The real woman that never ages is Avril Lavigne. That woman.... -_-
ReplyDeleteShe could have done a little more... http://media.heavy.com/media/2010/09/172.jpg -ish?
ReplyDeleteI'd sure love as hell to see you walk like that lmfao.
ReplyDeleteLmao......
ReplyDeleteShe's half, actually.
ReplyDeleteAnd Avril is what? Late twenties? Early thirties? PFFFT.
Even as a super gay man, You gotta agree it looks better than what Mimi was wearing. LOL.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, but its not quite as hot as it would be on me!!

She's half? Why's she so white? *Mean girls flash back*
ReplyDeleteOkay okay point taken with the Avril Lavigne one. We shall see in 10 years time. ;D
I say as long as she is still visually appealing then why not? She somehow still has the body of a 20 year old. God. She must have the fountain of youth in that Marilyn Piano or something.
ReplyDeleteHaha....what a waste of a drink though :/
ReplyDeleteI know, here is hoping that her voice ages at the same rate as her exterior!
ReplyDeleteWell, wouldn't we love to drink that. ;D
ReplyDeleteWell, there is nothing like a protein shot eh?! ;) Dear lord you are making me even filthier than I was....how is this possible?
ReplyDeleteHonestly- to me her voice sounds like its going backwards. It sounds brighter and purer than it started off as! lol
ReplyDeleteI bring out the demons in people... Specifically only the lusty ones. ;D
ReplyDeleteI know, her vocals have been pretty solid recently! I did like her sound vocally on Memoirs too though! I wish she would give us a release date for the new album, I am wondering if Triumphant will be on there considering every review I have read of #beautiful states it as the lead single and not Triumphant...
ReplyDeleteLet me rephrase that. She doesn't need to stop, I just think it's a bit immature.
ReplyDeleteYESH!!!!!! YESH!!!!! YESH!!!! FIZ EVERYWHERE!!!!
ReplyDeleteTrue, that was a case bad wording from me. I meant to say her attire is very sexual. I personally think women once they reach a certain stage in their life should show maturity. Not too suggest that Mariah is immature, but that certain aspect of her demonstrates immaturity IMO.
ReplyDeleteBuahahahahaha.....horrendous. How does she sleep at night with that implant so loose?
ReplyDelete@Ricky Yong Chin Yuan @ScottishStuey @blackrobin Get a room already!
ReplyDeleteHey!! Lets play nice!! Less of the aggro, please!
ReplyDeleteBehaaaaaaaaaaave. He's mine, btw. ;) LOL
ReplyDeleteOh DD. I don't want a room without you in it. I only want you. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Stuey... don't act like you've never been violated... AHAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteWAIT! I should say a room for studying and praying and fasting and repenting and whatever else is needed to make people virtuous and upstanding members of the community!!! [I forget that you guys are practically kids!! NO SHADE...lol]
ReplyDeleteOh DD. Kids do it too. While they are claiming to be "studying". What are we learning? Reproduction? ;) LOL.
ReplyDeleteGoshhhh.
-__-.....lol
ReplyDeleteMeow? You could watch him do me, though. LOL.
ReplyDeleteGood lawd, so vulgar...... lol He looks nice but he isn't my type. lol (over 6 ft)....
ReplyDeleteHe's hot and I'm desperate. What's there more to say? AHAHAHA.
ReplyDeleteSo you're saying promiscuity is immature? I don't honestly know if Mariah was ever "promiscuous" or if she only dressed in a sexually liberated fashion, but I think a woman revelling in her sex appeal and the femininity and womanliness of her body is anything BUT immature.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny; when a older guy, especially a dad, in their 40s or 50s still has an incredible body and walks around shirtless (aka Daniel Craig etc) they are labelled as 'hot' 'dilf' etc, and are almost NEVER told to "put their shirt back on" and "grow up" for it. And yet when a woman like mariah who is, I at least personally think, at the height of her aesthetic appeal and in absolutely incredible shape, does the same sort of thing, she is labelled promiscuous and that she is wearing a "stripper costume", ESPECIALLY if the person (like Mariah) is a mother and should be more of a "role model".
Not sure about you, but I would rather have a role model be someone who is comfortable and confident in her own skin and revels in her sexual liberation than someone who conforms to a patriarchy's view of how woman should "respectably" behave at a certain age :)
No, her father was black and her mother was Irish, her father was just lighter skinned. Her father wasn't mixed from what I understand so no she wouldn't be "a quarter black" Just because Mariah's lighter doesn't mean she is a smaller dosage of black. There's many shades to African :P
ReplyDeleteAvril is only 28 lol, that's still fairly young.
I have a feeling that Triumphant is just going to be looked over...or something.
ReplyDeletePREACH IT gurl.
ReplyDeleteOmg you guys are awful lolz.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj_xBsvGeB4
ReplyDeleteAm I the only Trini Trent fan here? :3
Thank you for that lovely compliment. <3
ReplyDeleteOkay okay. I'm guilty as charged, as Reiko already clarified it earlier to me. But I don't know why I thought she was quarter black all along though. :\
ReplyDeleteRight On Mperry!!!
ReplyDeleteSome do but I rarely. I'm for sexy over trashy. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow about Sexy and trashy? :O
ReplyDeleteI just contradicted myself. Is it possible to be both at the same time? :)
I understand for many..yes. For me...no.
ReplyDeleteOh, me too! I comment on his blog all the time lol.
ReplyDeleteShe always says she's part Venezuelan, that's probably why. In truth, her father was a black man from Venezuela :P
ReplyDeleteLOL she looked mid thirties in that picture...
ReplyDeleteAlthough, her weight has a tendency to show on her face, and she's lost quite a bit of weight since then... lmao.
From my understanding, he was indeed Venezuelan as well as black. He just happened to be of black Venezuelan descent.
ReplyDeleteLove this gif, mostly because of Tom Hardy LOL
ReplyDeleteI personally don't think she's trying to be sexy she just being naughty and there's a difference! aside form the spelling haha. The song is carefree and letting go with the flow and that's what she's doing she's being playful and being herself and just having fun. and to those saying Mariah is such a diva i just have to say that i don't really find her too DIVA? i mean yeah she acts really high and proud but doesn't she deserves that? She's been working for more than half of her life and been successful. and she's still humble and kind. i watch AI every week and she's so nice. when i think of a total diva it's Madonna cause she's proud, superficial, and mean but i like her though
ReplyDeleteDiva is a widely defined word. To me it's not a negative. To me it's the kind of woman one imagines to be high class. And high maintenance ....because she deserve it because she is high class.
ReplyDeleteThe kind of woman one expects to see riding in limousines rather than the back of a motorbike. But who, when she does get on the back of a motorbike....elevates that to a higher level.
I agree there's a difference between being naughty and being sexy but...if a grown woman is acting naughty in a situation as in the video....she is trying to be sexy to the guy.
I would not call Madonna superficial. Proud ...I'm sure. Mean...I'd say that may be true. But superficial...too many signs there's a lot going on there. That is why you see definite themes in her work. Themes that ,unlike with her later copycats, seem to be genuinly springing from who she is. Used to their commercial most advantageous yes, but nevertheless originating in her personality and views.
Possibly because many people wrongly assume that being "fully black" means having very dark pigmented skin, and that anything lighter is the result of being of mixed decent, and the lighter you are the more mixed you are, or the less "black" you are.
ReplyDeleteNono. I remember I read it somewhere. It's either I remembered it wrongly, or that the information was wrrrrroooong. I've seen fair black people. So... :o
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just me but somehow discussing a person's percentage of black ( or white or whatever) feels ...''wrong''. Too reminiscent of the Nuremberg Laws
ReplyDeletePoint taken! :<
ReplyDeleteHe's hot, but I haven't reach desperate yet. And you need to call me so i can show you my friends and I's choreography to "Stupid Hoe" by Nicki Minaj. lol
ReplyDeleteTrinidadian accents can make a fin whale surface faster than a shoal of sardines can.....Lawd, that is earsex...
ReplyDeleteDidn't mean to imply you guys had to stop. I just felt that it feels wrong to me and wanted to say that. I was also curious whether I'm alone in that.
ReplyDeleteCould be an age and Europan thing only.
So really...if you guys want to discuss the subject, please don't let me stop you :-)
It's not the 'black'' thing but the percentage thing which feels particularly wrong to me.
ReplyDeleteBecause it leads to such terms as ''fairskinned ''black'' people'', suggesting there are more differences between black and white people than superficial ones such as skincolor.
I spent some hours wondering why Mariah's moves look so familiar to me. Today I finally realised that she copied Kim Basinger's hot scene. Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH5oIajI_gI
ReplyDeleteWhat nonsense. Those moves are standard moves.
ReplyDeletewho ask for your opinion? What a meant was that the scene is very similar. Can you shut now?
ReplyDeleteyou only wish
ReplyDeleteAh. But then again, I was referencing those terms out of curiosity not in forms of any discrimination. I don't find wrong in talking about skin colour. I find crime in discriminating against them. Why find fault in something merely a topic? I mean, every "colour" has it's own specialty. Black people usually sing better... and heck run better. Whites are better at sports mostly etc. Again, they are not restricted. They can do more than just that. But why deny what you can do better than others? ;)
ReplyDeleteYou did when you posted a general post in a public forum Luis.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get off with your repeated posts telling me to 'shut up''?
You did not say the scene is similar. You said she ''copied'' it.
Getting a bit tired and bored with your needless aggression tbh.
You may be all over Mariah but I'd put money on her viewing you much in the same light she views Minaj. Because you, Luis, are behaving much more like Nicky than Mariah would be caught dead behaving like.
Nope! :)
ReplyDeleteFirst off...like I said, I am not saying you are discriminating. I said talking about percentageof ethniticity reminds me of stuff from my European past and it therefor feels wrong.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am not reminded of racism so much as of the root of racsm.
However...much as I am sure you in no way meant to sound like that....what you just wrote is in fact considered incredibly racist.
*sigh* I better just shut up.
ReplyDeleteImo if that is what you really think, you should feel free to say it.
ReplyDeleteBut I think that post was really more like these people...
Meant well but not thought through well :-)
http://www.upworthy.com/watch-these-straight-people-answer-a-question-gay-people-have-been-asked-for-years-6?g=2&fb_source=timeline&ref=profile&refid=17#_=_
BUÁAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Crybaby.
ReplyDeleteYou meant Nicki? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat I thought was fairly simple. Everyone should not deny their talents.
ReplyDeleteAgain, to be absolutely clear...I did not mean anything here as criticism. I just meant to say how it made me feel, reading that conversation and curious whether I'm alone in that.
ReplyDeletePlease nobody take this in any other light. :-)
I understand ''copied'' just fine. It is you who seems to be confused about your own writing.
ReplyDeleteAfter just the most minimum of research I found striptease scenes with similar moves from the 50's and 60's. And I'm sure most striptease act for decades looked similar.
Just because 9 1/2 weeks is all you know, doesn't mean it's all there is to know.
Fyi Kim Basinger did no invent those moves.
Yes, but while saying that, you also claimed one can correctly attribute specific talents to specific skin colors.
ReplyDeleteNot since he said Beyonce was scared of starting her new era.
ReplyDeleteGuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl you said a mouthful......I was thinking the same thing you know...but you beat me to the punch because I got all this lace front glue on my hands so I commend you...#snapout.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. But I also said it's also unrestricted to skin colour. Though, people in general, most are stereotypical. :\
ReplyDeleteI'll try for the LAST TIME:
ReplyDeleteMariah's moves reminded me Kim's, and then the scene itself.
So, what I meant was: Mariah's copied the WHOLE scene, not just the moves. GOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Lol sorry what i meant is narcissistic i was thinking about that word then suddenly i put superficial somehow i don't know why but we all know that the GAYS also helped madonna a lot, some/most of her remarkable works originated from them so i give them big PROPS and about the diva thing i love them! you know what they say
ReplyDelete"When they are good, they’re great, and when they are bad, they’re better!" it's just that i get tired from the comments in youtube *sigh*
And I'll try again...that is just plain nonsense. First of all ''similar to'' and ''copy'' are NOT synonymous.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all is the similarity vague and no bigger than with most striptease like scenes.
Lol yes narcissistic is a very different thing( still one I'd disagree with though. ;-D )
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with what's being said on youtube about this. But I am familiar with the usual comments one finds on youtube so I can imagine your frustration. :-)
why would you disagree with narcissistic? isn't it evident? i want to know your thoughts
ReplyDeletejust like what Mariah said to Nicki Minaj: "You just like to desagree with me". Now I get it. Keep on talking, and maybe someday I'll care about it. LOL
ReplyDeleteBecause I have close experience with someone who shows 9 of the 10 official characteristics of a narcissist and I have not heard enough of those signs being displayed by Madonna to agree.
ReplyDeleteI think she is very convinced of herself and determined to get her way but that's not the same.
I''m sure she is hard woman in many ways and probably unlikeable to most though. ;-)
so what then we call her so we can agree :)
ReplyDeleteI agree and share the same sentiments.
ReplyDeleteI often get in my daily life "So you're like not even a quarter black right? You're like 10%, etc. etc." and other such things. So I definitely feel the same sentiments, but for differing things.
From what I understand Triumphant was always intended to be a promo single, but at this point I'm thinking the MC camp would do best to keep this under rug swept and act like nothing happened :)
ReplyDeleteI die a little bit more on the inside each time I scroll past this section of the comment area, thank you Diva.
ReplyDeleteThis is why implants go under the muscle.
I doubt very much Mariah would ever use desagree.
ReplyDeleteAside from that...only when you are wrong. And you simply are.
Most of the moves are not similar and though likely in your fantasy she did, in this video Mariah isn't actually doing a striptease. Kim was.
Actually the only straight out similarities are the backlighting of the female and the male occasonally giving directions.
Both hardly unique to 9 1/2 weeks.
I'll be adding the three "M"s to my "Phrases I've borrowed from Opie" section in my head.
ReplyDelete'Differing things''? Like?
ReplyDeleteWe already agreed on proud. We can also just disagree. Nothing wrong with having different views. After all, unless we'd get to know her personally, either of us could be right. :-)
ReplyDeletei don't know why but you contradict yourself hold it together man
ReplyDeleteI meant the cause for the sentiments, my bad.
ReplyDeleteWhere your opinion, from what you've said, is drawn from a certain part of history and mine is drawn from personal day to day life.
Lol I'm flattered.:-)
ReplyDeleteAh now I understand. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd you keep on making my comments 'relevant' to you. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd keep on believing I share your need for such validation.
Lol sorry but I cannot help but post this here....its hilarious!!! :D
ReplyDeletehttp://www.strongpunch.com/pictures/94f6d7e04a4d452035300f18b984988c.gif
How so?
ReplyDeleteBut I do agree to an extent. The more I watch the video the more accepting I am of it... the "Mariah Carey Effect" I guess.
Lol. I went online but didn't see you btw. Forgot to reply you here. ;D
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Stuey! Where the heck do you find these gifs... You have the most ridiculous ones within your reach. LOL.

Trying to get into this song...still can't but whatever. I hate the muffled sound...
ReplyDeleteMore gibberish. And on top of that..keys getting stuck.
ReplyDeleteSeriously dude...just imagine that with sound. There you are..laughing like crazy at your own ....''joke''.
That joke being your continued responses with gibberish in a desperate attempt to show ....well, what really???
How relevant you are?
Because I have news for you. Your type was old about a week into the internet becoming public.
cause you said she needs to stop dressing stripper costumes then you said she doesn't need to stop. and then you said that that the way she dress is promiscuous then you said so you're a confused person
ReplyDeleteThank You for all the nice words. You are #Beautiful - as we say here is Brazil: Você é #Linda.
ReplyDeleteYou are ever so welcome for the words. Unfortunately that language barrier caused a little misunderstanding. :-(
ReplyDeleteThose weren't ''nice'' words. Equally unfortunate, I do not speak portuguese. If I did I might have been able to make my sentiments more clear to you.
But as we say here ''ach, ga effe fietse jochie''
I said, "I'd like it if she stopped," I never said she needed to. It's not a dire request, it's just a suggestion.
ReplyDeleteYour last sentence doesn't make sense.
I personally think the single is a much needed breath of fresh air from Mariah. It is very reminiscent of her style from the 90's & even early 2000's while still staying relevant, not to mention her belting range is sounding the healthiest it has been in a while. The video was kind of an ego trip I have to admit. She looks unbelievably young & vivacious, but it puts a little awkward edge on the music video as a whole because she's married & has kids & not that there is anything wrong with looking & feeling sexy at any age, but I feel like I wish Mariah would want to have been portrayed in a more mature light since she isn't 25 anymore. Still, she definitely delivers musically & I'm pumped for the album & curious to see if she'll go with the sound on this track.
ReplyDeleteIrony - some like it. Some don't understand it! Gosh!
ReplyDeleteRofl indeed dude. But really? You really didn't get yet that your attempt at irrony, as blunt as a butter knife, was met with a very much subtler ironic response???
ReplyDeleteDid you really think I meant that ''you're ever so welcome''?
Or that ''unfortunately'' and 'unfortunate'' and the regret those words indicate, are sincere?
Are you really this unaware of the level of my understanding of the English language? That I would not understand such a blunt effort?
It's one thing to be ignorant on a subject, it's another thing to not realize you are ignorant on said subject.
Now why don't you go watch a movie or two and maybe learn there's more to cinema's history than 9 1/2 weeks. :-)
Go on! I'm loving every minute fo it.
ReplyDeleteMore butter knife ''irony''. Man oh man...talk about irrelevant. You definitely are the champion.
ReplyDeletekeep on believing your comments are relevant.
