Who has the best new video?
Concept: Vegas showgirl's longing for and jealousy over her fit, fabulous ex-beau reaches boiling point, results in vehicular explosion.
Plusses: Gorgeous cinematography, hot boots, and let's be honest, Mariah's bod looks totally smokin', even if her entire wardrobe should be donated to a charity benefiting teenage strumpets and/or truck-stop hookers. Also: That Wentworth Miller 2.0 ain't hard on the eyes, either.
Minuses: Murky plotting and many burning questions: How come Mariah's showgirl moves are so lethargic? Why does Mariah drive to the middle of the desert to explode the car, then leave herself stranded? How come the one-time happy couple's bed is also located in the middle of the desert? Plus, there's that played-out "diva driving with the top down" device again!
Accompanying song: A slower, less addictive variation on "We Belong Together". (excerpt from Entertainment Weekly)
