Mr. Beast (109,331) by Dove from United States

Who is Mr. Beast? I think the only time I've heard about him was when BJ Investigates/That Surprise Witness talked about him on her YT channel and it wasn't good stuff. I think a Bianca cameo would have been a better surprise than him.

Type: Dangerous MV (109,330) by Dove from United States

I just woke up, so I just watched it for the first time. My first thoughts are that she looks really pretty and there isn't much of a storyline. I'll have to watch it a few more times to give a more thoughtful review.

Bill (109,329) by Dove from United States

I used to come on here a looong time ago and I still think about you guys sometimes. No one posted their pictures back then so I had my own mental image of what everyone looked like. Bill was one of my favorites, but in my mind he looked like the dad from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. So when I saw that handsome face I was just super surprised. If I was still young enough to have kids, I would totally have a kid for you Bill. Smart, funny, kind, and handsome? That’s rare.

Video (109,328) by Haiji from United States

Finally got to watch the video, watched it twice. So, my complete honesty, the video was alright. For a Mariah video, it was better than expected but I can't say it was worth the wait. I did enjoy it but tbh I was more excited when Victoria Monet dropped the vid for Alright, and I barely know her music. As someone already mentioned, it felt more nostalgic with the rehash visuals of ILT, TGIFY remix, Breakdown, ISIL, The Roof and With You. And a hint of Britney's Toxic. I felt like too much was going on in the video. Maybe it'll grow on me. I've heard the name Mr. Beast many times but still don't know anything about him. I don't know him but from what I'm seeing in reaction videos, they're going crazy when they see him pop up in the video, apparently he's that famous and someone in the comments mentioned he has over 400 million followers which might actually translate better for exposure. I have a feeling there will be a remix and video dropping very soon. I was hoping for a Cardi or Glo remix but I think it'll just be Rakim, but we'll see.

One more observation (109,327) by Bobby A from United States

With such an illustrious career, why is MC devoting so much of her time after 30 years in the music business to remain relevant among young people today?

A moderate hit already (109,326) by Jamie from UK

Unfortunately that doesn't reflect on the official singles chart as it's no where to be seen. That's just for physical sales, but it hasn't made a dent on the actual chart which is what really matter.

Start guessing (109,325) by Bobby A from United States

His name is James Packer. It is hard to believe he was her ex-finance once upon a time. The video pointed out that MC really doesn't have a type. I guess that is the parody. MC has been married or dated all types of men not necessarily a dangerous type of man. Derek Jeter will always be her first true love. He has more songs written about him than any of her other men. Her fame and really wanting to be Mrs. Derek Jeter pushed Derek away from MC.

T:D MV (109,324) by Brad from USA

I think you have to be on some serious drugs to impute any storyline development to this video. I see nothing earth shattering after waiting 7 years for something, anything. Closing by saying "I don't know him" is basically a reference from 25 years ago, I thought this was supposed to be a "new era"? This feels recycled and nostalgic more than "new". Not worth the wait, very disappointing. I hope (but doubt) there's an actual "WBT" moment on the album, otherwise, this "era" is a wrap.

Music video (109,323) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

So I watched it twice. My thoughts and 2 cents.
- The video seems to be a mix between ILT, Boy and Slave For You.
- I think Mariah looked absolutely stunning in every shot, my favourite being her "Britney" look with the black smokey eyes and the Mr. Beast scene where she looked like she's straight out of TEOM era. I love the risks she took with her looks including the red lip. She looked stunning in the silver bedazzled look to but that's her usual look.
- I thought JK said the video was longer than we think? But it wasn't. Or did he mean that we'll keep pausing on the boys haha.
- First high budget video after a while but I think it lacked a strong storyline or I missed it. I like the different "acts" being different men but I wish there was some context and dialogues like Honey/Heartbreaker. The CGI was a bit too much for me especially the diamond one in the first act lol. I was hoping for something more like "Boy is mine" video from Ariana.
- I heard there are more cameos other than Mr Beast. Which is smart to introduce her to new audience. I hope their contracts have requirements for them to post over the next few days. I'm dead at the "I don't know him".
- Why were the all laying on the floor in pain?
- Why was she so stiff in the first act? I get being nervous on stage but she literally had full control here.

Start guessing (109,322) by Lara from Middle East

Let's try play the game of guessing the Mr in the video.
Mr player: Derek Jeter
Mr dancer: Bryan Tanaka
Mr traitor: Nick cannon
Mr dealer: Parker? Was that his name? (I'm forgetful

)
Mr beast: I don't know him literally, had to ask my kids about it.

Also did anyone else got vibes from so many different videos she's already done? It's like that, Thank God I found you remix, With you, Boy. Just to name a few

Dangerous: Bianca Industries (109,321) by MusicfanJ from Germany

The Bianca industries had me laugh after watching the video a second and third time. So maybe it's really a bit of parody but wanted by Mariah. The animated cartoon reminds me of "Heartbreaker".

A missed application for AI (109,320) by John from USA

Joseph Kahn should've used AI to make Mariah move some. Let AI help but maybe not too much that it's obvious it isn't Mariah. Missed opportunity.

The video is equal parts cheesy and brilliant (109,319) by MusicfanJ from Germany

"And was Kristofer Buckle necessary?" Surely not. Really a bit spooky. Lol. With the video I also have mixed feelings. I have to watch it several times. And who is Mr. Beast?

The video is equal parts cheesy and brilliant (109,318) by Randy from USA

I like the animated pieces dispersed throughout and laughed at the hating ass hoes. Yea, she looks great which seems to be her talent these days. This is her third trip to a Casino in a video. Can we do something different? And was Kristofer Buckle necessary? Whatever he's done makes him look like the doll in Saw. The worst part of the video was when she motorcycled under the truck.

Video (109,317) by Dave from USA

I must agree. The video delay made me slightly worried, especially when you put out an official clip with the date, then push it off twice. This should have already been in the can.

I loved the vid despite the disappointment of Mr. Beast as the surprise, but another issue is MC just standing there. Dammit, at least sway back forth to the fire beat or lose the ridiculous 9 inch Fendi's if you can't move in them.

Yes, we know you're attractive, but that was always the cherry on top, not the cake itself. She has got to loosen up. This is damn near a parody, which is insane considering the amount of interest there was in this video.

Video is epic (109,316) by Zachariah from Croatia

I loved it. It is giving me Britney Spears vibes from Toxic video. It is high budget, it totally captures the lyrics and it is epic. I already watched it like 10 times.

The official video (109,315) by John from USA

The lyric video is the official one for me. That was uncomfortable to watch, sadly.

New video (109,314) by Terna from Nigeria

I love it, and she looks good in it too. I didn't quite catch all the "isms" nor Mariah Carey references only true lambs know on first view, but that's why we get to watch it over and over. Banger single and a high production slick video, that actually matches the song and the vibe the lyrics are about. Not complaining at all, I approve 100% and I appreciate the effort she's giving this go round. Perfect 10. Congrats Mariah.

Video (109,313) by Bobby A from United States

Yes, it was not an earth shattering surprise. Finding out after eight months that Kristen shot J.R. on Dallas was more earth shattering than Mr. Beast showing up in a Mariah Carey video. Has MC had any interactions with Mr. Beast before now? I am trying to figure out why he would be such an earth shattering surprise to the Lambs. Now I am really concerned about her team's next steps before announcing the album title and release date.

Video (109,312) by Max from Germany

Yes... and? Many drama 4 nothin. And the video doesn't even fully capture the text. But still a good song.

Video (109,311) by Dave from USA

I would not say that was earth shattering. I liked the vid but it didn't live up to the hype. Maybe there will be a remix with higher hopes than Mr. Beast.

I thought it was Celine (109,310) by John from USA

I'm sorry but is it Mimi that's has stiff person syndrome? I'm not sure what I just watched.

The lyrics video (109,309) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia

In the teaser that Mariah posted on her Instagram we can see that Mariah mouthing the lyrics. But in the actual lyrics video Mariah did not mouthing the lyrics and she just basically posing and give beauty shots. Would this mean there will be another second version of lyrics video?
