Mariah Carey: “I Stay in Love” Video

October 27th, 2008 by Evil Beet


You know, I actually really like this song, but the showgirls-themed video is ruining it for me.

And Mariah?

When your hair extensions look more ridiculous than your showgirl head-dress, it’s time for a change.

    This video is so fucking unoriginal. I didn’t even bother watching the whole way through, I was so bored out of my damn mind. It wasn’t even like they took some classic idea, re-vamped it and made it totally awesome and new again- they were just like “OK! Listen up, we’ll put Mariah in an uncomfortable looking Vegas SHOWGIRL OUTFIT, get some completely non-descript male model/actor/singer/rapper/part-time waiter to be her love interest, and film it in black and white to be EDGY! THAT way, no one will notice that we’ve used the exact same story line for oh, I dunno, ABAHZILLION other videos! The kids will totally eat it up!!GO!” NONONONONONONO. Arghh, it bugs me so much.

    The song didn’t do much for me either. It couldn’t keep me interested enough to just let the video play while I scanned the rest of the page. But maybe I’m just not in the mood for whiny pop music atm… Who knows.

    Mariah’s 4th single from her flopped E=Mc2 called ‘I Stay In Love’ sounds like a left-over song from 2005 The Emancipation of Mimi album.

    No way I want to buy the same genre and style Mariah producing over and over again since the 90s. On the other hand, Beyonce’s new single If I Were A Boy is simply stunning and different.

    Beyonce nails it once again and great video too.

    (2 out of 5 stars)

    I begin to understand why her album barely sold 2 million copies ..worldwide. Quite bland and yet insipid/ uncomfortable in this video. Will be Mariah Carey’s 4th flopped this year including Bye Bye, I’ll Be Loving U For Long Time and Just Stand Up.

  4. Trisha says:

    Why Mariah has to pretend to be desirable and sexy for every videos? She is looking rather aging these days.

    Photoshop much? :)

    this is her hubby’s wet dream- he directed this craptastic vid.

    “Hey honey, could you pull down the front of your tank top a little more, I can’t quite see the underwire. And where are those damn scissors? Those shorts need a little more leg cut off.”

    The songs sucks, the vid sucks more- reusing footage in the beginning and the middle, yuk.

    Trash

    Most boring Show Girls show EVER. That one dude in the audience should ask for his money back.

  7. Jamie says:

    That video SUCKED. The song was okay in all aspects except for Mariah’s voice… But, the dude was totally hot and I wished they woulda shown more of them together… instead of the car scene TWICE. Lame.

  8. DailyBeetReader says:

    That video was so stupid, it didn’t even go with the song. They would have been better off putting her naked in a bed rolling around and singing…oh wait, they’ve done that too. Perhaps Mariah should just stay away from video and keep singing.

    I do like the song, but I have to say this…If I hear her sing “wit chew” instead of “with you” in one more song I’m gonna go find her, hog tie her, and take her to my high school choir director…Mrs. Shae will stop that shit in a heartbeat.

  9. Bobby says:

    hahaha….Wow…really jealous comments here…huh?
    Just face the fact: mariah is the best….

  10. Zen says:

    FACT: No one can bet MC. The best among the rest.

  11. niki says:

    they’re some haters! beyonce says that she wish she had a voice like mariah. i like her too but mariah’s the best!!!

  12. RihanaFierce says:

    Why do we bother about Mariah Carey? Her album isnt charting anywhere after 6 months. This is her last attempt to save EMC2 which barely sold 1 million copies worldwide after 3 flopped singles in a row this year.

    Please retire gracefully!

  13. Taz says:

    I love the video! It’s cute and the song is great!

  14. LeoGal says:

    Silly and lame!

    Showgal at her age? Who wants to hire her? Certainly not in Vegas. Too bad she is wasting her talents with this.

    LOL

    LOL GOOD SONG BUT TERRIBLE MUSIC VIDEO. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A FORMER N I C K E L O D E O N STAR, COUGHNICKCANNONCOUGH, DIRECTS A VIDEO. LOL NOT ONLY DOES HE SUCK AT MAKING VIDEOS BUT HE IS CHILDISH AND ANNOYING.
    WHY DID SHE EVEN MARRY THIS HOODRAT LOL

  17. Shhh..her says:

    Mariah Carey is the Queen…..of Payola Effect.

    The main reason Touch My Body went to #1 was..one of her unofficial fan clubs offered prizes to whoever downloaded and requested most.

    Something need to be done and her 18th #1s over Elvis Presley this year is the most pathetic and purely based in airplay not sales.

    SHUT YOUR FUCKING FREAKING MOUTH YOU STUPID PEOPLE… Mariah is the best and we as her fans are going to help he single not to flop. And for the last time: Bye Bye did not flop. It reached a no. 19 at Billboard Hot 100 which is a good position for a ballad… And the ones that do not like Mariah: FUCK OFF FUCKING SLUTS

  20. Lana says:

    I Stay in Love is heading to be a flop….hard! Beyonce, Rihanna’s new single Rehab are much better than this “Bye Bye” no.2.

    :)

  21. Oh, that list of Mariah hits was simply awesome! Thank you so much, it’s 3:30 AM and my laughter probably woke up everybody in the building.

  22. Eve says:

  23. Mr 3lite says:

    u kno what… that video really makes since. all yall critics out there aint paying attention to the lyrics in the song. the whole idea is that “SHES STILL IN LOVE” thats why they had her & the video like that because she cant do anything because once again… (”SHES STILL IN LOVE”)
