Watch: Mariah Frolics With 30 Rock's Kenneth
Who: Mariah Carey
What: "Touch My Body" [Director: Brett Ratner]
Why: Better than Glitter. More entertaining than the Ratner-directed X-Men: The Last Stand. And — thanks to some goofball mugging from co-star Jack "Kenneth" McBrayer — nearly as amusing as an episode of 30 Rock. The most (intentionally) funny video Mariah has ever made.


LA Times - The Envelope:

Mariah Carey just released a new video, courtesy of a blockbuster Hollywood director. The clip, from "Rush Hour" director Brett Ratner, features "30 Rock's" Jack McBrayer, and effectively stole some of the thunder from [Janet] Jackson's release.

MSNBC - Scoop:
Mariah Carey has won Scoop over
How is it possible, you wonder, that Mariah Carey, the difficult-to-interview, always high-maintenance songstress has finally won Scoop over? Easy: She cast Jack McBrayer, the lovable-yet-cloying page from "30 Rock" in her new video, "Touch My Body." Either Carey is much more pop-culture savvy than we're giving her credit for, or Carey has some good advisors at the moment. Either way, the video's worth a look.

MTV - Buzzworthy:
Mariah Carey does it big or she doesn't do it at all. But in her new "Touch My Body" video, she's doing it big and totally funny, with 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer (the new Jack McFarland!), a pink princess party dress (which we really want), a for-real unicorn (which we really want), a Catholic school girl costume circa Camelot-era Britney, and over four full minutes of free advertising for YouTube.

Director Brett Ratner - who, in addition to directing several feature films, shot five other Mariah videos and Jessica Simpson in her "These Boots Were Made For Walkin'" video - praised Mariah, saying "Mariah is musically at the top of her game and has never looked better…" and we'd be hard-pressed to disagree - you could freaking clean your dirty laundry on that girl's abs.
