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.)
I agree about the videos and all visual aspects of her work (for someone so interested in her looks, it's a wonder why she neglects this part so heavily) but the last good video she did was "Triumphant"- she looked incredibly good , just jaw dropping and it had a cinematographic feel to it.
