Mariah Carey - Touch My Body

Someone needs to give Mariah Carey lessons in sexy. I was but a lad in 1990 when Mariah first hit the scene and quickly became the biggest diva in the world. There was no-one else quite like her.

Tattoo is your first proper single release since you won American Idol. No offense, but it’s as bland a number as we’ve ever heard. Your producers aren’t even playing it safe with this song, they’re playing it suicidal. Bland doesn’t even cover how dull this song is.
