:( I love me some Mimi, but wow. Her body was so altered, it made her head look huge. She looked like a bobble head :( Hoping and praying the HATE U video is better. And I can't believe somebody compared Beyonce videos, to Mariah Videos..... :S

On the other hand, Mimi deserves to have her own "Beautiful". THIS IS GROUNDBREAKING!!!!

I know I said we shouldn't laugh but this is a pretty good play by play of the video someone wrote. It's kind of silly though.
0:07 – Camera zooms into a computer generated stadium that looks like it’s from the Sim City video game.
0:27 – Mariah, complete with her 90’s curls, stands in the middle of a butterfly to remind everybody of the “classic Mariah”.
0: 39 – The audience sway back and forth like a group of hypnotised zombies entranced by Mariah’s powerful performance.
0:45 – A gay couple embrace.
0:58 – The camera zooms in on a feeble young woman in a wheelchair as Mariah sings “In my life, there’s been heartache and pain…”
1:09 – The gay couple gaze proudly at Mariah.
1:18 – A sinister looking child stares up to his father, and then into the camera. His eyes have no soul.
1:41 – More fathers and their young sons look lovingly at one another.
1:55 – A lonely looking security guard searches for love. And fails.
2:08 – The wheelchair bound young woman returns at the exact same moment as last time. “In my life, there’s been heartache and pain…”
2:18 – A middle-aged mother who looks like she’s on welfare tears up and rests her hand on her heart, swaying in unison with her two grown daughters.
2:42 Everybody starts smiling and is filled with hope as Mariah sings the chorus.
3:00 – A gospel choir are magically cut and pasted into the video behind Mariah. The stadium still looks like it’s from Sim City, as does the grass.
3:25 – Everybody is happy. Mariah has saved the day.

OMG The BEST VIDEO EVERRRR, EVEEERRRRRRR!!! (I used a whole box of Kleenex just with this one video) She always blows me away with how deep and cutting edge her videos are. Ground breaking! It's a delight to wait for every new Mariah video. I don't think not EVEN Celine will top a video as good as this one. Who knows... maybe a duet of both will produce a video twice as good! I would add Barry Manilow and Clay Aiken on top just to make sure it works perfectly. SO bad the Oscars don't give awards to music videos.
Only to know that H.A.T.E.U. video will have a gorgeous Mariah with a swim suit on the beach yet again all oh-so-girlie-and-sexy her posing and posing for me gives me a reason to look forward to a new tomorrow when the video premieres soon.
Mariah the Cheesy Queen has done it again. She never disappoints!
Ok, guys, I'm going directly to Hallmark to find some nice deep sentimental pink and girlie cards. I'm feeling inspired all of a sudden. I want to know what love is and I will find it out at Hallmark. This video has touched me deeply. Really.
....wow I just went to my window and saw a rainbow. I gotta go back, maybe there's a butterfly and a unicorn waiting for me now.

Oh no this is BEYOND a vanity video. It's supposed to be touching and heartfelt but this is just an epic fail!!!! I prefer her glamout-shot videos to this!!! Do they really want this album to sell??? Are they aware this is competing against videos such as BAD ROMANCE and RUSSIAN ROULLETTE??? PLEASE BRING THE REAL MIMI BACK!!! SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!!!

Where's WWMB? He always has a reasonable and rational plan.
Hopefully h.a.t.e. u will be much better. Plenty of glamour shots for sure.

Video is exactly how I envisioned it. A cheap piece of crap. What else could you expect for a song that was DOA? SMH. No wonder the video took so long. It has more CGI than "Bad Romance".

Man, what's up with Mariah? She needs to re-think her career/life, take a break and reorganize her priorities. She's got a huge complex about her age/looks that was starting to get ridiculous 5 years ago and now it's nothing but a joke. It's clear she's very talented, she can write and produce and still sings well, but portraying (sp?) herself as nothing but a bimbo only downgrades her talents and her artistic choices. This video is stupid and just ridiculous. It seems to me she said "do whatever you have to do to make me look thin". I expect the Hate U video to be the same shit. BORING!

Oh WOW!! This is the Joke of the Year... the horrible cover, awful 2nd single choice, subpar vocals, the whole attempt to make classic Mariah coming back looking so fake, and now a boring, stupid, cheap, flat video that seems more like a cartoon with deformed Mariah. I was afraid of Mariah reaching ths low some years ago. Mimi was a good break that gave me new hope, but no, it looks like Mariah has turned into a joke of herself with her obsession with looks, repeating formulas, getting #1, etc. At least HATEU is good, but a disappointment like IWTKWLI brings a big question mark to her star power and artist quality as of right now, because everything related to that single simply stinks.

the thing is that many ppl said the same about obsessed (being boring, no script etc...) and that video stayed in the streaming top 10 for 6-7 weeks..

The video for 'Obsessed' stomps all over the video for this, no matter how bad people think it is.

This video was the worst video put out this year after Drake's Best I Ever Had. The CGI looks like it was done in 1999, and their attempt at bringing back Vision Of Love 1991 Mariah Carey is an epic fail.
And that boy's eyes freaked me the f*ck out at 1:21. Trust me, it looks worse in high quality. Their is no way that they didn't notice this in post-production, it was probably alot of uncomfortable silence at that part.
Its like Mariah is some angel from the heavens above and the whole entire city, humans from all races flocked to fill this gigantic stadium and watch her sing this life-changing moving number one smash of a song. Once in a lifetime event. Especially with the slow-motion throughout the whole entire video, its like they stopped the world.
Fail.

The timing could not be worse with her present physical condition.

I liked Obsessed, btw. I thought it could have been better, but it was good, in a sort of comedy. This is just a joke... or saying it better, this represents FAKE! She looks as fake as her monstrous boobs at the MOAIA cover or as fake as her attempt to revive 1990 Mariah or as fake as her will to create good music (she is now only looking for the possible hits and good looks, ugh!)
