Plus, and I know we've said this time and time again, but it doesn't hurt repeating - her videos are horrible! Which was her last halfway decent video? For me it was "When Christmas Comes" but that was just a holiday single (and not a real single anyway). Before that, I can only think of "Up Out My Face" which was pretty good. I'd have to go back to "Touch My Body" which was genuinely one of her BEST ever.


Videos more often than not make or break a song and these days can even turn it into a hit with streaming and all. That could work in Mariah's advantage if radio is reluctant to her. The videos don't even have to be expensive so long as they have humor, or a semblance of concept/storyline. It sucks because her videos as of late, in addition to tanking the songs, bring extra bad publicity (what with her retouching, vanity shots etc.)

Good call. It's mostly just poor planning and undeveloped concepts too. For example, You're Mine must have had a decent budget for them to go to an exotic locale like that and then they didn't take advantage of it -- pretty much one static shot.

The lighting was terrible too. They basically lit a *real* location so poorly that they made it look like a studio or cheap green screen chroma key deal. You really have to actually try hard to do something that bad lol. Seriously how hard is it to make paradise look nice? :P
