Okay readers.  I've had it with Mariah Carey.  Everyone's talking about her single called "I'll Be Loving You Long Time".

First off, let's not even discuss the connotations and potential racial slur of the title.

Let's skip right to the issue.  She had the following song on her album and promised it'd be a single.




It's a solid summery love song.  Positive, upbeat  . . . nice?  For a Mariah song, not bad.  Well, here's the video that just came out, heralding her return to the top of charts.  Looking more like an entire swimsuit catalog instead of a video about "don't want another, ain't gone never be another, can't nobody do what you do to me" summer love, here's Mariah, complete with some introductory grunts, "yeahs", etc from rapper T.I. and a whole 15 seconds of rap thrown in the middle for  . . . what . . . spice?

You have to love T.I for throwing money around in the video . . . as if he has 1/10 the fortune Mariah has built.  *sigh*  Hey music industry people, here's a thought: new ideas!! Go.
