Mariah Carey Explains ‘You’re Mine’ Video Concept: “I Was Involved Every Step Of The Way”

mariah-nick-cannon-that-grape-juice-she-is-diva

 

As her label-mate Rihanna continues work on her eighth studio album, and Beyonce continues to reap many a reward from her latest, Mariah Carey no doubt seeks to come out on top when her new album drops via Island Def Jam on May 6th.

So, it should come as little surprise that the icon has taken a ‘hands on’ approach to the project’s campaign, executing every move employed to push the project alongside manager/producer Jermaine Dupri, and – as she explains in the interview below- the latest video unveiled to support its cause.

Indeed, with just over 1.2 million views on YouTube, the star’s clip for new single ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’ made quite the digital splash upon arrival and may now see its streaming data land her the smash hit traditional sales are currently struggling to nab her.

Now watch her dish on the visual’s concept, and the part she played in its Trey Songz– assisted conception after the jump!

Radio.com:

Far better than her horrid appearance at ‘The Breakfast Club‘, this interview hit the net on February 13th…days before ‘Mine’ was booted out of iTunes Top 100.

So, with this unfortunate fact in mind and the ever-present ‘Beyonce comparisons taken into consideration, we ask…

Can Mimi do the same?!

Weigh in below!

    That would explain why the concept looked like it came from someone with the mind of a 13 year old…

  2. Kai February 17, 2014

    FLOPPPPPPPPPP

    Will the video is a nice video, lots of “look at me i’m pretty” moments but it wasn’t bad. She could’ve given it a story line though.

  4. truthtea February 17, 2014

    Mariah may not have anything left to prove BUT she needs to quit throwing shade for attention. Get out of this vain narcissistic fantasy that the sun still rises and sets on your behind. I still love Mariah’s music and her legacy but eat some humble pie.

  5. Micks February 17, 2014

    That explains why it was a mess.

  6. mike February 17, 2014

    WOW we are comparing the legend that is Mariah Carey to Beyonce!

    Thats like comparing Aretha to Mariah or Patti Labelle to Celine Dion!

    That fact that Mariah is still taking up 3/4 of your blog space for the last two weeks says alot Sam!

    Mariah and her son look nice and airbrushed in that picture.

  8. Venus February 17, 2014

    I love Mariah, she’s had a nice long run hits and album sales that others could only dream of. that being said, she should retire gracefully after this album she’s ruining her legacy with these forgettable songs that she has been trying to push on the public these last couple of years.

  9. slay_hive February 17, 2014

    The desperation for a hit! She has been running her damn mouth since that song was released!!

    While the NEW queen has yet to grace the GP with an interview

    Just retire DAHHHHLINGGG! kii

  10. Xtina Fan February 17, 2014

    She’s trying to push all this artistry drivel down our throats, but the song and video are both basic as f***.

  11. QUEEN MARIAH > YOU H** February 17, 2014

    I’m LOVING all these MARIAH posts!!!

    YALL BETTER keep talking about the QUEEN !!!

  12. TC!!! February 17, 2014

    ummm I love that Mariah is the main topic!!!! Mariah seems to bring up more hits on his site these days and why compare someone who was listening to Mariah when she was 9? stop it already it makes you looks like a pressed hormonal gay beyonce fan!!

  13. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) February 17, 2014

    Samantha.. every seat in the world… You can f****** have it.

  14. Theman February 17, 2014

    Someone should tell Beyonce to retire, with that basic music.. “Beautiful” & “You’re Mine” are great songs. Y’all base quality of music off of iTunes/Charts. Who cares about Beyonce? Mariah is leaps and bounds above as a complete artist. Sam is using anything to get hits. He must need the money.. Her interview with “The Breakfast Club” was great, artists don’t base their interviews around Beyonce. MC is in her own league.. What professional person would be upset because she didn’t hear a song? Be a better journalist, if that’s what u are. Notice how Mariah has been bringing this site a tune of hits, thus the influx of flop off topic baseless posts.. Is anything by Cici/Kelz even doing anything on the bubbling under charts? MC is great, when the song is released to radio it’ll take off as it should..

  15. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) February 17, 2014

    Death @ that video. I hope Sam isn’t trying to say Beyonce’s sales are crushing Mariah’s because we ALL know that Beyonce will never sell like the queen. And Mariah isn’t Beyonce’s competition… Mariah is above her in everything. Rihanna and Miley are B*****’s competitions. I can’t deal with the delusional tricks running this site. #TheThirst

    HOLD UP! Wasn’t Drunk In Love #2 on Billboard because of Youtube streams? lol @ the hypocrisy and poor journalism of TGJ.

  17. CIARA STAN February 17, 2014

    What a flop b****! She stays flopping my fav would never flop as hard as moo

  18. Katy Perry (Queen) February 17, 2014

    Ya know I like mariah I really do but what w**** she needs to understand that she is not young anymore she can’t compete with the pop girls hell even beYAWNce is old AF!!! Start making 90’s music or retire NO ONE is checking for her

  19. GREEKGOD February 17, 2014

    Will it even chart?

  20. Theman February 17, 2014

    ^^^^ No one is competing with these new flops though, all of them are literally struggling to hold/platinum.. U make no sense. She’s being herself… She’s all good.. She should continue to make great music, not throwback music..

  21. Stephy February 17, 2014

    Another post bashing Mariah Carey…

    Also, why are we comparing Mariah Carey to Beyonce. REALLY!

    Beyonce is a fab entertainer but her music is not even remotely as legendary as Mariah’s so sit!

  22. Gistyinka Blog February 18, 2014

    Can’t wait to listen to your new album… Carey you rock…

  23. Naomi February 18, 2014

    Mariah is not above Beyoncé on all levels. Performing, no. Talent. No. Touring. No. Wealth. No. Versatility. No. Pull. No. Try again lamb.

  24. The Boy Toy February 18, 2014

    Lmao at this site baiting Lambs vs Hive stan wars. Kii I guess the navy gets a break for a while, huh? 😆

  25. Kingboss February 19, 2014

    y’all so darn delusional! If you believe that any attention is good attention, then maybe. Mariah is the subject because it’s newsworthy when an artist who used to be respected and loved by millions releases something and no one cares. But keep talking about “Mariah stays on your minds” like it’s a good thing this time. hahaha
