Mariah Carey’s 1997 smash ‘Honey’ serves as this week’s From The Vault video. As the the first single to be lifted from the diva’s ‘Butterfly’ LP, the track and its accompanying video ushered in what was then considered a very ‘different’ Mariah. Newly divorced and musically embracing an edgier, Urban sound, Mariah shed her conservative ‘girl next door’ image with this racy Paul Hunter directed clip. Random tidbit: here, also saw the debut of the ‘Mariah Whine’ LMAO. Check it out:
Great song, even better video.
Your thoughts?

what is the mariah whine?!
I’m assuming he means when she’s singing or humming a bit? but yeah this was my top Mariah album before Emancipation still hot, as a matter of fact i’m about to listen to it now, Breakdown was my jam!
It’s Mimi at her best! I love the Butterfly era! And just like the last poster Breakdown was my fave!
I miss THIS Mariah!!!!
The ‘Mariah Whine’ is her little dance that she does in the video. Ever since then, she’s been doing this little shimmy in all her urban videos – a la “Shake It Off”
PURE CLASSIC!!! A FAVORITE! A HIT!
Why do I feel like sam is getting lazy when he posts….from the vault? LOL
I’m not a fan but I like some of her songs including this one..
