Video Review: Mariah Carey, ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’ + Remix

I’ll be honest and say that I was hopeful in hearing that Mariah and Trey were collaborating again, but I do not like this song. This is the second collab that Mariah’s done with an R&B singer I LOVE and it just doesn’t meet expectations or the hype.

I’m not sure why two videos had to be released. The videos are exactly the same. Trey is featured in the initial one, he’s just not singing. I wish that there was more story to it than just her floating in and out water like it’s a remake of ‘Fantasy.’ I’m not counting Mariah out. I won’t count her out until I’ve heard her upcoming album in it’s entirety. The song isn’t horrible, but it won’t be on my rotation. Not impressed. I will say that I like this collab better than the one with Miguel. That track just didn’t do it for me vocally or visually.

Check out both videos below:
