A No No video (88,427) by Gilles from Malta I love the video, It is so glamour and in a certain way with a neon fashionista style. I love the outfits, make up, colors, the concept. I love the dancers, it shows it is for fun and they are all smiling, their acting make me smile. I wouldn't have imagined something else for the song. It is like a big party and having fun for a person who decided to say no no, not anymore of this relationship. The whistles session is fantastic à la Emotions. I love the fact that they show in the video a party session like in a club because it is a bit the meaning of It's Like That song, don't you think? Because it's my night, no stress, no fights, I'm leavin' it all behind, no tears, no time to cry, just makin' the most of life. Sorry if some people don't like it, I don't share the same sentiment, but I do agree that I would love another video with a story line as Touch My Body, Honey, Heartbreaker. I cross my finger that it would be for Giving Me Life. Have a nice video time. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 07:36)

Michael Jackson (88,426) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I have no idea what to think. Victims or famewhores? I doubt "Leaving Nerverland" had infiltrated Mariah's world, but I wonder what she makes of it all. R Kelly, MJ and Jussie. Hasn't been a great month for friends of Mariah.

Re: The video/high notes (88,397) (88,425) by enwar00 from usa I like it too. I thought it was a cute, fun video. I have no expectations, what for? It is what it is. I've liked all the videos from Caution just fine. Lucky me. I thought that about the whistles too. A nice surprise either way. I'll be at the Chicago show. Did you get good seats?

Re: A No No video review (88,414) (88,424) by RibbonB from USA That's good news for Mimi. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 02:28)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,415) (88,423) by Andrew from London, UK Laughable. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 02:02)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,417) (88,422) by Randy from USA Special K. I love you like ice cream In December. But for real for real, I'm really hoping for the change I assume is going to happen. Let me serenade you, Andrew, B, Jaker20, RJ112, Eric(k) and Ribbon now "every once in awhile, there's a distant glimmer of hope, I find". (Saturday 9 March 2019; 01:37)

Remix (88,421) by jaker20 from US I still think there will be a surprise remix, maybe not the one we want, but something with someone somewhere. And then the video will make a bit more sense. I'm just glad its not tragic like I Don't vid. Come to think of it, this is one of her better videos in a long time. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 01:22)

Re: A No No video review (88,405) (88,420) by jaker20 from US I was thinking of a video where there's a fashion show and some of the looks are so bad, and then it shows all her reactions while everyone is loving the show and kissing the designer's behind. Just like the train setting, it's a concept that required only a single setting if they are being cheap on the video. But it's at least a concept. Though I like the current video, but mostly because I love the song, she looks amazing as ever and I love the added high notes. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 01:13)

Re: A No No video review (88,414) (88,419) by jaker20 from US I saw that and I maybe single handedly responsible for it, having played it nonestop today. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 01:07)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,409) (88,418) by jaker20 from US Randy, I didn't say she is none of those. I am saying her videos have always been like that, not serious and always just about her being sexy and or partying. Her videos are never deep. Ever. So why are we expecting any change now? She did write deep serious stuff. But this conversation is about the video, not the song. As I have stated, I love the song, and all I hoped was for it to be released, hit or not. People need to discover the album. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 01:03)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,376) (88,417) by Special K from USA You should rename your post "Eternally frustrated". (Saturday 9 March 2019; 00:59)

No No video (88,416) by Special K from USA That video is dope. The best Mariah Carey video ever because my baby is in it. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 00:48)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,413) (88,415) by Special K from USA FYI being British is not a race. That is your ethnic background, culture. Get it together Andrew. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 00:44)

Re: A No No video review (88,410) (88,414) by B from USA The video is trending on YouTube. (Friday 8 March 2019; 23:45)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,412) (88,413) by Andrew from London, UK Once more, for Eric's sake, you said you were taking a break, you didn't. You said you didn't read my messages, you do. You claim to be a nice person but you insult my looks and call me a "British" whatever which is racist. If this ever get by Eric, and I hope that it does, because why should I take it and nobody else, why are you still here? And why should I put up with sleights against my looks and my race when I have been an ickle angel? (Friday 8 March 2019; 23:36)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,407) (88,412) by B from USA Have you watched her Genius interview? She's articulate, poised, and self depricating. In leaked videos from the set of the filming of the A No No video a female rapper can be heard rapping so I'm willing to bet Mariah also filmed a remix video that will drop either next week or in the coming weeks. (Friday 8 March 2019; 23:31)

(88,411) by B from USA While the goats graze in a pasture somewhere I'll continue to live in the land of denial where Mariah lords over us while riding a unicorn and sprinkling us with fairy dust.  (Friday 8 March 2019; 23:05)

Re: A No No video review (88,405) (88,410) by Critter from USA First boo to the 2 pieces of rumors about the video (first with Eric pulling off ANN, second with a no-name rapper). I literally grieved over them for 10 min each. With them setting my expectations rather low, I watched the video and genuinely absolutely 100% enjoyed it. It's different, presentable (not too much cleavage), colorful. Not to mention the high notes. I love it. (Friday 8 March 2019; 22:57)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,407) (88,409) by Randy from USA Jaker20. I love you like tea time in July but you can't stand there and tell me the woman who wrote Vanishing, Looking In, Close My Eyes, Outside, Petals, Twister, Reflections (Care Enough), Right To Dream, Languishing, Camouflage and Portrait isn't serious. And this is where you argue, she's not one dementional. She's quite the multi-faceted creature. But to be honest you know what I thought? I thought she would hit late 40s early 50s and start going the Annie Lennox and Sarah Mclachlan route. She is every bit as good a deep introspective songwriter as Joni Mitchell, Jewel or any of those girls that are taken seriously so I assumed with the collapse of the voice she would learn guitar and start strumming on stage simple melodies and genius lyrics. Madonna learned the guitar. Ok well maybe four chords. But the point is to see what she's become is kinda sad but I'm still hoping that she trips over her mermaid gown after a few splashes in the mermaid room and Bryan forgets to catch her and she hits her head gets slight amnesia because Bryan forgot the number to 911 and forgets the ditz/bimbo/diva routine because I actually still believe she is still one of the greatest singer-songwriters who have ever lived. And there's still career success still in there. And Adele is my proof that people will still buy music that is introspective and not flashy. (Friday 8 March 2019; 22:56)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,407) (88,408) by RibbonB from USA Well I said focus on talent and professionalism, which is not what you even referred to. I certainly don't think that means being political, or even topical. I like Mimi's music and take her with the grain of salt that she offers. (Friday 8 March 2019; 22:28)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,406) (88,407) by jaker20 from US Mariah has always been like that. She's never really taken things seriously, or she's not able to. She's just not an artist who tackle major social issues and not everyone has to. And personality first that profile, which is why her videos are like that. It's been like that since she started. Emotions (partying in the house), Dreamlover (partying in the countryside) and Fantasy (partying in the carnival). Like many, I had thought TEOM was a turning point. That album had concepts, the videos had concept, so in effect, even the way she carried herself in interviews and in real life looked more respectable. Then she defaulted back again herself in E=MC2 era all bimbo and having fun, and it's been like that since. I believe she is really like that in person. It's not a Stella thing. She's always been that way, insecure, conceited and too much into herself. So that's literally 25 years of her career, and just 2 years of maturity. You can't expect her to change now. You take it or leave it. Otherwise, you will just be frustrated. (Friday 8 March 2019; 22:06)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,376) (88,406) by RibbonB from USA I don't know if she will ever sell big again. It is possible and I definitely agree she needs to cut the fluff and fakery. She's always saying she doesn't take things too seriously, it's all for laughs, but is that all her career has evolved into, inside jokes, eye rolling, air quotes and winks? I'm not sure she can just display sheer talent, and professionalism anymore. I'm hoping she will fully shed the Stella era/error soon. (Friday 8 March 2019; 20:35)

A No No video review (88,405) by Marissa from USA Let's start with the positive. This is the most eye-catching video Mariah has had since '09. I liked the colors and thought the vibe of the video matched that of the song. I think this video could actually have a chance of being watched by the general public and not just the lambs. Now, onto the less than positive. I thought she could have found much better, more natural dancers. These seemed corny to me and I was uncomfortable watching them. It seemed like everyone (except Dem Kids) were just trying too hard. Like some of you, I also would have preferred a video with a storyline. Those are always (caps) her most successful videos (Honey, WBT, TMB, etc.) and I don't understand why they are never used anymore. I would have liked a storyline where she is actually telling someone off lol. As much as I like the visual effects of this video, it has nothing to do with the lyrics of the song. This was clearly an upgrade for her, but still a missed opportunity for more creativity in my opinion and I was underwhelmed. (Friday 8 March 2019; 20:03)

A No No video (88,404) by anonymous from UK Genuinely think it's crap. I love Mariah so much, I think it's just a shame she had these "videos" now that are just so awful. Who the hell decides this and why? I cannot imagine a conversation that goes like, "Remember when Mariah was in a train cart and all these dancers were there and there was blue and pink lighting, I love it." Seriously? Love the song, but like many of her recent videos, I'll never watch it again. I got the music, that's something. She's almost always had those vanity shots which is fine, but there was some kind of substance to it. Dreamlover, for example. Not much to it but it's fun and suits the mood of the song. A No No video just doesn't have anything to it. Nothing to do with the song, or the lyrics, it's just poor. (Friday 8 March 2019; 20:02)

Re: The video (88,393) (88,403) by Bill from the UK Someday, I Don't Wanna Cry, There's Got To Be A Way, Emotions, Make It Happen, Dreamlover, Anytime You Need a Friend, All I Want for Christmas Is You, Fantasy, Always Be My Baby, Honey, My All, The Roof, Breakdown, I Still Believe, and Heartbreaker all from the 90s all had extras and actors other than Mariah in them. In fact, it's easier to list her solo videos from the 90s. Vision of Love, Love Takes Time, Can't Let Go, and Butterfly. Not including concert videos here of course, or duets.
