Mariah's video trauma
Mariah Carey didn't find it straightforward filming her latest video with Cam'ron. She dropped in to talk about her new single "Boy I Need You" which is a reworking of Cam'rons "Oh Boy" which got to No.15 in the UK recently. She said the first time she heard Cam's track she was in the bath listening to a radio show. Cam'ron had taken his original version in to play. Mariah loved it so much they agreed to work together and put out a new version.
As for the video, it was shot in LA and Tokyo but they hit a bit of trouble when they were in Japan: "In Tokyo it was very intense because I guess there was a problem with the permits, so like four people got arrested. We had to keep bailing people out and keep changing locations because the crowds were very intense and I guess they were afraid that somebody would get hurt. So I totally understood that. It's just fun to work with Cam and those guys. They're all just really good people and it was a lot of fun." (BBC Radio 1 Urban News)
