MUSIC VIDEO: "I Want To Know What Love Is" by Mariah Carey

R&B/pop superstar Mariah Carey finally drops the new music video for the second single from her Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel album title "I Want To Know Love Is."  The video of the cover song, which was originally recorded by pop/rock Steve Perry and his band Foreigner, was shot in New York City by the ubiquitous Hype Williams.

"Love Is" is the classiest single Ms. Carey has released in a long time.  The video captures more of the emotion of the song and family bonding rather than the singer's skimpy, sexy image that Carey forces onto viewers.  Thus, a beautifully produced video was born.

Noticed a Black male couple featured frequently in the video?  That is a rarity among music video.  It is a surprise that Lady Gaga did not concoct that idea first.

Enjoy!

OMG! I'm a complete idiot; I didn't even notice the couple on the first viewing. I guess I was just lost in the song, which is one of my all time favs.

But on the second -- WOW! No subtle imagery, no read between the lines BS, it was just BAM. I love it!!!!!!

Go Ms. Carey!!!! I haven't actually paid for a CD in a minute, this one I'm buying.

I love the very last image of our lovely couple, where his hand just caresses the arm of his boo for a second. Sweet!!! Donnie McClurkin will probably be stirrin' up his Christian extremists to boycott Mariah and I hope those fools do.

This made my Saturday morning. Thanx Waddie ....
