Yet, in spite of its predictability, 'I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time' still makes for a satisfying listen, sounding classy, effortless and as summery as a glass of rosé in the garden after a work. Plus, as with most things Mariah does these days, there's an intriguing hint of strangeness lurking just beneath the surface – who else would name a song about eternal dovotion after a line from Full Metal Jacket?

Great melody, lovely voice. Not exactly a good choice for a single but nevertheless, an excellent song!
yes mariah does not nesscilary wear clothes of a 39 year old woman however cos she got a fantastic talent a great body and great voice it doesn't matter how mean any of u are as if she falls down she'll get right back up again and bring out a mega brill song. this song is fab!!!! and u lot have the nerve to go on and be rude about mariah yet i bet half of you will go out a praise madonna and she doesn't exactly wear what a 50 year old should be( no offensce madge i love u and your songs). Mariah don't let them get u down.
Hmm, I wonder if the people here are fans of Madonna. Nothing nice ever comes from those idiots, which makes me wonder. Anyway, Mariah is fantastic...always has been. At least she can sing unlike a few others I could mention.
can you guess what she wears in the video, if you are thinking next to nothing, you are correct. mariah again relies on distracting people from the music by cavorting her rounded body on innocent bystanders. oh and the song, i cant remember, i was too busy with my jaw dropping
....... sorry I nodded off there. Is this old bird still around?
horrendus
This song - the album - her career - awful, even America has seen through her never changing music! She's a dead singer walking! Give it up Mariah, your time is up!!
One of the best songs on the album, so glad it's a single!
Your both idiots! This song is fantastic!! Side Effects is her next single apparently, gunna be great!!
I totally hate this song! She should have released "Migrate" instead of this sick song!
Awful. Just dreadful. It doesn't make any sense! I like her old music far better.
With slow beats and her trademark Voice, this song is classic "new" Mariah. However, it's not the best song on the album and there are other songs which would have done better commercially. Mariah does tend to save the best songs for the "real fans" who go and buy the album.
