  • Friday Throwback – Someday (with a bonus video)

    I was on Yahoo.com yesterday and noticed that a blogger was writing about Mariah Carey’s new video and how even though people think Glitter was the low point in her career, she actually got paid a ton of money to leave Virgin and only did one album for them. The blogger noted that it was a Frank Lucas’ like business decision. Mariah is Mariah in the new video and she mentions YouTube in the new song and it made me think about some of her old videos, including this one, which is most memorable for her attempt at dancing.

    • I’m guessing those jeans are the reverse of low rise.
    • Look at her shimmy and shake.
    • Baby Mariah is a little darker than regular Mariah.
    • “The one you gave away will be the only one you’re wishing for.”
    • Sometimes that blouse falls off her shoulder and then in the next scene it’s perfect. I wonder if Tommy Mottola was cracking the whip to make her pull her blouse back up.
    • There it is. The very famous terrible Mariah version of the running man.
    • Dude’s playing the drums on that bucket for a long time.

    Time for a little bonus coverage. Here’s Mariah’s new video for Touch My Body.

     

  • Potpourri: Mariah, Kanye, MJ and more…

    …Titled after my favorite category in “Jeopardy”. Word to Alex Trebek…
    There’s nothing major to report, so I’ll just shoot a couple of short takes over…
    Apparently there was some poll in the U.K. (they do polls a lot out there) asking what the greatest song in British history was. I can’t remember where I was reading this, but I do remember that Oasis had the #1 and the #2 songs. Now, I don’t dislike Oasis at all, but isn’t that a lot like doing a similar poll in America and giving the Top Two spots to Lenny Kravitz??
    How about The King of Pop, folks? The 25th anniversary re-issue of “Thriller” sold about 160,000 copies last week. As an older album, it’s ineligible for the Billboard album charts, but if it was, it would have placed at #2 right behind Jack Johnson. Guess Neverland Ranch is staying open.
    Mariah’s new single is out-entitled “Touch My Body”. Right now, I’m torn between liking it and thinking it’s completely silly. This song almost sounds beneath her (very similar to the way I feel about Janet’s “Feedback”), but it’s…cute. Yeah, that’s a good word. Cute.
    Listen and judge for yourself:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlHmyCxU-Ng
    Finally, because a post of mine isn’t complete with a Kanye reference: is it me or does the video for “Flashing Lights” make absolutely no sense? Then again, if you’re one of the Kanye critics, seeing him get beaten with a shovel might do something for you. Enjoy!!
