Watch: Mariah Carey's comeback video: Does 'Triumphant' live up to its name?

Forty-two-year-old Mariah Carey parades around as a sexy boxing ring girl in the video for her single 'Triumphant'.

It's nothing we haven't seen before — after all, the singer is not exactly known for covering up her hot-to-trot bod.

But will the clip for 'Triumphant', the lead single for her upcoming 14th studio album, prove a hit with fans?

Meek Mills and Rick Ross will presumably win over some rap enthusiasts as they take on the roles of a fighter and blinged-up boxing fan in the clip, but Mariah's new song has been dealt some sour reviews.

One US radio host even had a stab at her age.

"I think it's really hard to get on Top 40 radio when you are over 40,” said the unnamed host.

"She's trying to get street cred by having rappers on the song but it isn't working.

What's really concerning her team is that most superstars' singles get in the top 10 on iTunes within the first days, just out of curiosity. It's not like people are listening to the song and deciding they don't like it; [with Mariah] they are not even listening."

Ouch — harsh dig!

The singer has otherwise enjoyed a smashing start to 2012.

She and hubby Nick Cannon celebrated the first birthday of their twins Moroccan and Monroe in May and the singer recently became the highest-paid reality TV show judge ever, signing a whopping $18 million contract to judge on American Idol.
