Oh dear.

There are some musical artists who should NEVER have a CD only release. That is to say, instead of releasing an "album", it should always come in either DVD or VHS format. Some artists should only be seen, and not heard.

Hello, Mariah Carey. I'm sending you a "Get well" card as I write. Obviously you're feeling under the weather, and hopped up on Sudafed, because there's no other explanation for Loverboy.

Granted, you have a body that launches a thousand ships. But you also had a voice that spanned enough octaves to be a human marvel. I mean, I can moo like a cow and cluck like a hen, but there's no way normal people can crone like you.

So I ask again, why is it that everytime I see your music video, I invariably sit closer to the TV, but also mute the audio. The song is terrible, and you know it, hence the need to show so much skin. If radio had visuals, it'd be a hit for sure. As such, I really can't imagine people hearing it, and go: "Man, what a wicked tune."

I've tried to like it, I really have. I even tried listening to the lyrics. Let's face it, you didn't sing half of the song, and when you are singing, I hear you haw-ing and ha-ing through those octaves, but otherwise, it makes not sense.

And the rapper, I mean, no offence, but Cameo?! What has he given us? "Word up!". Timeless poetry it's not. You're a popular girl, Mariah, collaborate with someone recent, like Jay Z or Q-Tip. Heck get Eminem, at least his lyrics are decent, if only a little offensive. Wait, I'm not done. Even if you can't afford these guys, get like Vanilla Ice, at least we remember "Word to your mother."

If you release a DVD of your videos, they'd sell like the proverbial hot cakes, but if your latest CD contains more the likes of Loverboy, .MP3 pirating just got a little less wrong. You can almost make a case for it being okay after playing Loverboy (remix or not) to the public.
