Mariah Carey "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" Video

 

I'd like to enjoy camp elements of this song, especially of its title, but Mariah Carey is clearly only focused on one thing: She worked hard for that toned, overly-bronzed bikini body, and she'll be damned if she doesn't writhe around showing it off for the full three minutes and 50 seconds!

And something tells me this ridiculous single cover isn't a joke either but is, in fact, Mariah's taste; you know she picked this out herself. Here I was thinking the swimming with a dolphin was too Lisa Frank...

 

 

But I love Mariah and E=MC2 despite ... this and despite a straight-pop track wasting her voice. Where is my "Side Effects" - or even "O.O.C." - video, Mimi?

Colin, this is a great summer song! While I don't like that they added T.I., who brings nothing to it, I think it's fresh and fun and Mimi got her old sound back and I can't believe you don't like it!

This is what happens when one listens to Britney's "Blackout" too many times...

I can't fight you on the 'I listen to Blackout far too much' front, Junior, but I really do love Mariah and E=MC2. And I can't help myself - I have to make fun of her a little bit!

No, you're right, Mimi does deserve a little ribbing from time to time. Like how she showed Oprah how she exercises in her pool... in full makeup.

This is one of the best songs she's ever made!! I LOOOOOVE IT! She's awesome and her voice is great!! Check out this list I found, they put her as the 6th richest entertainment woman in the world http://www.weshow.com/top10/en/
