Well, the corny intro was the point. It is a parody of a Bond film. Amazing 90s video.
Exactly..
And she’s making fun of her ex-husband
And most things in the 90s were corny on purpose for wholesome silliness.
Yea i think the purpose of the intro definitely went over their head, it was genius lol
Corny is Mariah's trademark
Answering your question about Mariah’s sexiness… Yes, the Butterfly album was released after her divorce with Tommy Motolla and the concept of the album is her freedom and control of her own life, career and creative process! This is the “real Mariah”… Sexy but cute haha
It was written and released when they were separated. The divorce was filed after and finalised in 1998. Rainbow is the divorce album.
Yes! falling in love with a hunk on the beach is ALWAYS the mission 🤣😭
Exactly. Code name: Honey. Duh.
The dog at the end was Jack, Mariah's dog. He was a celebrity to the lambs. There were several webpages dedicated to him.
He is a legend
Her good girl gone bad era🤭
Gone girl gone stunning woman.
@got2bjosh Mariah has always been pretty, but my goodness debut and rainbow look like two different women!
This video is really based on her escaping tommy (the short white guy man) because he kept her locked in the mansion (which she called sing sing, like the jail) because he didn’t want her to do r&b and hip hop or not acknowledge her black side he wanted her to stay pop!!!
But Mariah's earlier work was more R&b and soulful then became more pop as it went on
@@deed2157 lol no it was not. Her first and sec album was pop and the third album Daydream she was entering into more r&b. For the fantasy remix Mariah wanted ODB but Tommy (her ex husband & chairman of Sony) didn’t want her to go r&b and hip hop or collaborate with rappers! But she did anyway so he sabotaged her at the Grammys when she was nominated for 6 awards and didn’t win none especially when the album sold 20milllion. Baby I’m a fan of Mariah and remember all this in Real time! And you should also read her book! You would know and not responding to what you think you know! 😘🫶🏽
@@Beautiful_kish I'm not talking about whether Matola wanted a rapper in Mariah's song😂 or hip hop. I already know about the issue of ODB being in Mariah's song. You being a fan doesn't change the fact her initial albums had new jack swing, gospel and even 70s r&b in it.
I'm not disputing some songs could be considered a bit pop but a straight pop album? No way 😂
yes gawd it is!
@@deed2157 was always rb and soulful but she didnt go more pop as she went on
This video was very much a parody of James Bond movies, hence the silly skit with the overacting. The Honey MV was def the first glimpse of Mariah as a sex symbol, which was a deliberate choice by MC after having no control over her image in the earlier years. It was indeed shot in Puerto Rico, btw. Fun fact: this song was a #1 debut on the Hot 100 (Mariah was the first woman to do so)!
First time I heard Honey I instantly fell in love. Also, Mariah's hair is just flawless, as always. Her hair alone should win awards lol.
This was the first single and it launched her new sexy look. Before she was the girl next door in jean shorts an flannels and this really shocked the world. It was literally all people were talking about for weeks.
Thank you for reacting to this Mariah Carey video. One of my favorites.
That’s Eddie griffin,He’s a great comedian
Early Mariah was when her 1st husband was control of her image so Mariah was having a 90's hot girl summer with this one lmao
that's what shet gets for sleeping her way to a musical contract
It’s sad when some people don’t get what a parody is. The intro was deliberately presented like that. It was perfect.
That intro sucked. Parody or not, it was absolutely awful!!!!!
@@alexations1Then it is not for you.
The Remix video is even sexier than the original one, if thats possible lol
It’s sad because the remix which is the better version imo is now a bit tainted for most folks
Yes the guy you guys said he looks familiar is Eddie Griffin comedian actor he’s been in movies , commercials etc.
The gum guy is Eddie Griffin and the music video was filmed in Puerto Rico
Love Mariah Carey
The dog is her dog jack sadly he died in 2008
Mike is so hot 🔥 🥵
LMAO
which one is Mike?
well no
@@alifishakayob3633 The one on the left
the gay THIRST
“You gonnnn diiiieeeeee!” lives rent free in my head. Corny, sure, that’s what makes it so fun!
Butterfly is her creative breakthrough. She no longer had to conform to everything managers and labels demanded of her and got more creative freedom. It's almost like a new debut for fully realized potential of Mariah the way she wanted to portray herself and the type of music she wants to make, which is more R&B focused than it is pure pop like everything prior to the Butterfly album.
Also she doesn't do a lot of choreography because she's not a great dancer. She knows her voice is her superpower; not her moves.
these days she gets dragged across like a rescue whale. and no she no longer sings ..... NYE proved that
I was gonna comment on how you missed the point but, everyone else did. Hahaha you 2 are hilarious straight brus. love ya!
The guy you said he looks like he has a wig on is an actor. Hes had bit parts in mafia films like Godfather, Casino etc
One of my favourite songs of all time!
I think her style is a reference to Ursula Andress in in James Bond: Dr. No
I am always surprised how less you guys know about big pop singers and their songs/hits.
I wish more people would react to her music video "Beautiful". It's such a great song that deserves more ❤. 😊
My best song of Mariah
I think the intro is basically a parody of Bond movies and action movies. It was badly acted on purpose. And exactly like Joe said it was the debut of Sexriah because she was emancipated from Tommy Mattola finally who was controlling her in their marriage and controlling her career and anti Mariah singing RnB and Hip Hop and claiming her black side.
Lol. Dudes, camp!! 🤣
This is a Mariah carey directed video. She doesn’t take it seriously. She’s just letting her hair down and having fun. So I wouldn’t get to critical about it. It’s not that deep
exactly Mariah is not known for her intellect LOL
I always crack up when people criticize Mariah for being a "bad dancer" or "very little choreography." Has anyone noticed Mariah is performing and dancing in 5 or 6 inch stiletto heels! The fact she can stand, walk, or even run across a marble floor is incredible.
Mariah has so many other great songs from her other early albums!
how do you miss that the intro was intentionally cheesy? I love these two bimbo reviewers 😭
The organization is even named "D.U.N.C.E." like they're supposed to be corny, bad villains. Cackling at these two thinking it's serious and not a fun video.
And also making fun of her ex-husband
Calling them “bimbos” is so wrong… but kinda iconic 🤣
The Butterfly era is so iconic.
Honey was a 3 weeks #1 single.
Butterfly peaked at #16 on airplay, but wasn't commercially released, so ineligible to chart in the US.
Breakdown peaked somewhere in the top 50 on airplay, but also didn't get a single and couldn't chart.
The My All was the 2nd single and also reached #1.
Both #1's are now multi-platinum in the US, Breakdown was eventually also certified for digital sales.
The album itself debuted at #1 and was eventually certified 5x platinum in the US.
What an era. She sounded phenomenal. She looked incredible. And the music was sublime.
I’m gonna be so sad if y’all don’t do breakdown 😭
Exactly!
i think they only look at music videos so they probs will
Derek jeter was the muse for this era !! The nostalgia important muse in music history 😊
The video is a metaphor for Mariah escaping her ex-husband's control (Tommy Motolla) and going to an exotic location to meet her love interest (Derek Jeter). It's based on the time she escaped the mansion she lived in with Tommy, where he kept her locked and guarded with security. She did that to meet Derek in Puerto Rico (which is where the music video was shot). The James Bond theme added a layer of fun and humor since she wasn't allowed to have fun at work until that point. It also makes sense that the James Bond theme stemmed from the fact that her escape to meet Derek was actually pretty much a secret operation. Tommy would really send people in suits with guns after her if she was to escape the mansion, and yes that actually happened too once...
The music video also showcased her real personality instead of the image that was marketed by the record label, as well as her "sexy side".
Edit: another thing to note is that her hairstyle and dress in the first scene are the same styles she would have while under her husband's control since he controlled that too. A little black dress and the same hairstyle she's been rocking basically ever since they got married. When she escapes in the music video and changes clothes and we start seeing her with different hairstyles, she gives us a glimpse into her appearance going forward now that she has control over her image. That was pretty cool to me because you'd expect her to start the music video with her new image, but she made it a point to start with her older image and show us the transition. She had to be very symbolic about everything. She did not admit that the video was based on her life back then. Her ex-husband was still the CEO of her record label and she couldn't go against him publically because it would hinder her career.
There're lots of James Bond elements in that video. The most iconic one is the replica of the bikini used originally by Ursula Andress as the bond-girl Honey Ryder.
You understand the acting was meant to be bad. Its not a film. Its an homage to James Bond. And, she took off her dress to put on a wet suit.
Actually this album has 7 music videos but then the 8th video, The Roof feat. Brandy, came on 2022.
😂😂😂i love it tbh
0:47 2:30 Seeing Mariah in those Gucci stilettos marked the beginning of a lifelong journey appreciating her artistry. 0:27 No, Butterfly has seven music videos. Honey & My All each have an additional music video for the Hip Hop remixes. Music companies were rolling in cash during the late 90s when album sales were at their peak, so everyone had money to spare when it came to investing in music videos as a marketing tool for promoting singles. 14:28 Lol, then you're gonna hate Heartbreaker. It cost $2.5M & went to #1.
Eddie Griffin in the gum guy and he's a comedian.
MIKE I LOVE YOU 😂
Never say never? The bond film? As for the back story of the butterfly album. Prior to this Mariah had been in a relationship with the head of sony pretty much since her debuted. Who happend to be 20 years her senior. So that father figure control came into the marriage. He wanted Mariah to be taken seriously as a recording artists as opposed to to the next big pop star. So wanted her image to be very girl next door, keep the hair curly and where a black dress and a shirt with short shorts in a field and as you said sing shoo doo doos. To a certain extent Mariah agreed that having that sort of image would help people to see that she’s not just a pop star that want’s to be seen by the masses but a singer/songwriting recording artists.
Also there was the issue of her being half black and being a fan of black music culture. Which he wanted to hide.
As a result of years of fighting to get control of her image and music (and mind you she had written everysong up the daydream album her previous album) and her life as a whole she left Tommy Motola her husband.
During the divorce and after. She began work on this album. Kind of being somewhat detached from Tommy well definitely peronally but not wuite professionally, she was alble to take control of her sound and image which what you’re seeing and hearing here.Btw this is Mariah introducing herself as a personas oppose to trying the hip hop thing. This is what she grew up on.
One more thing all the songs you’ve reacted to are true stories from a year leading up to the release of the album.
Ik you guys wontdo them for this week but I hope you guys do another Mariah Carey week bc she has some good ones. Bringin on the Heartbreak, I still Believe, #Beautiful, GTFO, With you. And i notice that you guys react to mostly music videos but her emancipation of mimi album has so many good songs.
Her entire discography is amazing. Hard to separate it as “good ones” because then that makes it seem as though she has bad ones and in the case of Mariah, she’s one of the few artists with a beautifully composed and crafted discography. Everything is amazing.
it was dope at the time 😂😂, but this shows how they went out on the budget for music videos back then lol
And still is
This was Mariahs first step away from her previous girl next door image.
A lot of people were shocked to see her like this.
No it wasn't lol. And I'm her hugest fan. She loved to wear skimpy outfits way before she became famous.
@@ricardodeases2931 name a music video she did prior to Honey where she was dressed like this 😂
It wasn't a music video. It was her being a background singer for Brenda K Star in her skimpy outfit. All online.
@ricardodeases2931 nobody knew who she was as a backing singer, so why are you using that as an example ? 😂
When she introduced herself as a solo artist she was nothing like she is in the Honey video. Ans she was also nothing like she was when she was a backing singer.
Bye Felicia
'cause it was skimpy
hey everyone this was my week lol answering a few questions...
1) yes these are all from one album butterfly. calling me a liar 😁
2) sorry for the cheesy intro. was going to do the remix video but it features P. Diddy...
3) its true she does not dance a lot. this and heartbreaker are the most she really dances.
4) breakdown is coming dont worry everyone!
Even if the remix features P Diddy it isn't his song. I refuse to let Diddy mess up some hits for me😂 Plus you still hear him in this song 😂
Breakdown was a snooze fest. There’s is a reason it flopped..
Mariah is a goofy person.
Her being so talented in vocals, being a producer & a songwriter,
also a director. ( Fantasy music video, maybe some other stuff too)
A lot of people got so lost in her Diva persona.
Girls’ just wanna have fun! ( pun intended!)
The music video being cringey to you guys, you both overlooked the insane vocals on this track.
We need some fun in the artists and their expression.
Do we need to see & hear Billie’s & Adele’s depressing songs all the time??
She preceded both and she showed personality in this video.
And she blows both vocally too!!
PS:
I love Adele and Billie, but both artists come to mind when thinking about releasing depressing songs all the time.
I love Pink!!
😂❤
Amazing❤❤❤
you should react Beautiful Stranger. Madonna and Austin Powers, just amazing!
This is a spoof. It is what's supposed to be.
It’s so funny how every time a reactor will say anything about Mariah, a fan will say “well actually…” 😂
Hey guys, so I was hoping y'all would do a week 2 for MJB. These videos listed are a bit more storytelling/cinematic. I think you two would enjoy.
1. All That I Can Say
2. Deep Inside
3. Take Me As I Am
4. One ft. U2.
5. Whole Damn Year.
All of em are dope. Love the channel btw, been on board with you guys a little over a year now. I always look forward to your reactions to some of our favorite artists. Also, I admire you guys examining of music videos-from fashion, jewelry, locations, etc. Not to mention, y'all are hilarious af frfr. But I hope you guys get around to checking out the list for week 2. Much love & God bless 🙏🏾 🫶🏾🤍 ..
You guys should watch the remix!
Should’ve Did The Remix
Hahah. Both of yall had the same big ass grin when she came out of the pool in her bikini!
You should watch the Honey (Remix) video as a bonus episode.
Little nas X likely wasnt born when this music video came out
I think this album actually has 7 videos
❤❤❤
Well boys , welcome to 90s natural beauty , with no heavy make up and just simplicity and beginning is like a parody reminds me like bad boys funny moments when they trying to get away in being captive
Hey, that dog was Jack, and he has appeared before on Dreamlover 😂
Fun fact: Theres a speculation that this song is about man juices.
"And its just t like Honey when your love comes over me.
Oh baby I've got a dependency so I strong out for another taste of Honey.
Its like honey when it washes over me
You know sugar never ever was so sweet
And I'm dying for ya
Crying for ya
I adore ya
One hit of your love addicted me (I need you babe)
And I'm strung out on you, darling (ooh, your love addicted me)
Don't you see (I can't wait)
Every night and day I can hardly wait (for another)
For another taste of honey (Baby, I can hardly wait)"
It’s called CAMP !!! It’s so unserious! Mariah was playing on her divorce it’s silly billy fun
You are correct! This was the period where Mariah was shedding her good girl image and getting more comfortable being overtly sexy. Perhaps not coincidentally, it was also at this time that she got involved with Derek Jeter (GO YANKEES) and dumped her husband Tommy Mottola, the music exec who discovered her.
Yeah it's deffo unserious
No one caught it! The song is called Honey…. And there are sailors or sea men dancing with her. 😅 listen to the lyrics
You should listen again, only to the lyrics to find out just how dirty this song really is
They should always have a pararell Euro week to theese american reaction videos. ☺️
Next must be RAINBOW era, celebrating 25 yrs anniversary.
Faaaaaave
Also this was back when videos mattered.
Wish it was the remix but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Good job gentlemen
thats Jack
The gentleman with the hair looks like her ex, maybe this video is a joke about him and how she escape and feel free and sexy..
It is about that lol
It literally id
i wish there were no more SFX after the music started, but i think they thought they were being cinematic and forward-thinking.
the beginning being cheesy and over the top is correct though. you can't take that away from me.
Should have done the Breakdown video too...tragic omission lol
The remix is better FOR ME.
I this album is fire...actually all of her albums are fire, special Glitter album.
Edit: She walked so that Ariana could eat
This song and her song the roof is about Derek Jeter they briefly dated after her divorce
Daydream week pleaseee
Vision of love next please 🙏
That's her dog
I used to love Eddie Griffin! Gotta find out if he still does standup….
Are you guys gonna do mariah at the tokyo dome?
Could you guys react to Mariah Carey Honey remix music video?
looool @ the 30 second mid song hate comment. Oh no he is not going to like the Heartbreaker video
Oh come on! The intro was PERFECTLY cheesy Bond! Mariah has never been sexier. The song is a bop. What more do u want?
Hahaha bcoz it was just a parody acting.. its obvious that both of you didn’t get it 😅
sadly this was the start of mariahs decline.
Mariah can't dance, she cant even move these days lol. But she is a star. This video in particular, she divorced Tommy Motolla, CEO of SOny, ex husband..... "look how hot Im, Tommy"
One of the few good videos she made in her career. Possibly her first good video.
Omg her acting was soooooo bad in this video. 😂😂😂😂
That intro was sooo atrocious! lol
Guys aren't you interested in what song made Georgia qualify for the final after 7 years of non-qualifying streak? Pls react to Georgia ❤🇬🇪
To be honest She has to change who's drug luck
Thats her dog.
Its Jack ans he is very famous!!
She made him appear in a lot of videos
