Mariah Carey Touch My Body Review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ2HB2b_xpQ&NR=1
There's no Nick Cannon in sight.
Well, Mariah looks amazing in this video. Actually, she looks better here than in her early days in the business. I only wish women that looked like her would answer the door in their underwear.
The song is catchy, if a little 90's in certain places. But, her voice is wonderful. She's always had a smooth voice that is pleasing to the ears. Her voice mixes well with the 90's pop vibe in the song.
The nerdy guy is a little annoying, but that's what the creators wanted in the character. He's the same dude from 30 Rock, and it's pretty much the same character.
It should note that Brett Ratner directed this video. Given that this is where he got his start, he did a pretty good job with the video. I think he needs to stick to making music videos, because Rush Hour 3 was harmful.
The video also gets props for throwing in a Laser Tag callback.
The video is harmless and the song is catchy and certain better than most of these stupid pop stars out there. Finally, we hear someone with a real voice and talent. It's good to see Mariah back doing songs and not bad movies. (Glitter, anyone?)
Grade: B
Brett Ratner grade: C

I was disappointed with this video and the song. Mariah didn't engage with the nerdy guy, she was just so wrapped up in herself. The song's not saying much either.
I liked this song, but i don't want to watch the video, i always am disappointed once i've seen a video of an artist or their actual face, radio is fine for me thank you.
(that's just how i'm wired)
PJ: You know, you did bring up a good point. I didn't realize there wasn't really any interaction between the two. Yeah, she has an ego
Blayde: There are times when I refuse to watch music videos. There are dozens of songs from the 80s that I haven't seen the videos for either.
