♫ HOT OR NOT: MARIAH CAREY – “OBSESSED


♫ Mariah Carey – Obsessed

Mariah Carey debuted her new single, “Obsessed” from her forthcoming album, Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel on Chicago radio station B96 on Tuesday afternoon

The track was penned by The Dream (also responsible for her last #1 hit, “Touch My Body”), and sounds like she is taking shots at rapper Eminem, who have been going back and forth on tracks since Mariah’s Charmbracelet album. Memoirs is slated to hit stores August 25th.

    I love it!!! But of course, I just love Mariah.

  2. fiercerMC

    Yay!!! another 1 for our girl Mariah!!!
    This song is hottt

  3. SeanC

    I love the heavy hitting lines! Pow! The autotune isnt used to coverup anything, it works well for this style of song. We all know mariah still has the voice, dont be ridiculous! She always manages to remain relevant, and does so by doing music she likes.

  4. My - P.O.V. - is....

    I just love this ish! Can’t nobody do it like Mariah Carey. I must have listened to it at least a dozen times. And this time she used auto tune? That is fine with me because she has been in the business for YRS. And been giving us years non stop and belting out beautiful notes in different ranges. Her ranges are unbelievable. She had me at, Vision of Love.
    And what’s this shyt about her being too old to sing on this subjecct matter?? Ladies there are just as many, if not more old fools, as there are young ones. Grown folks know what I am talking about. And since she is not dead, old and cold let the woman do her thang. Sing that shty Mariah!!! And so you’ll know many of your favorite heroes are a lot older than they will ever admit. This is common in the Entertainment World. But you don’t have to take my word for it.

  5. My - P.O.V. - is....

    Now as for you Barbie (Tee Hee Hee) or Dreamdoll from MTO. Girrll….You’ve really got an unhealthy relationship with Beyonce. It isn’t normal at all. I have been checking you out and you fight tooth and nail. With blood and sweat, and tears to take up for Bey. I just want to…need to… have to know what is in it for you. I mean does she pay well…No serious, because a sista can use the extra change. And I think I could be good at it too. I will be just like you… a fighting warrior in the scraed name of Queen Beyonce’. I can see me now…dressed up looking like Xena. Lol. Ready to take off somebody’s head with my sword that has been blessed by none other than the Queen herself.
    You need to realize that people have their own opinion about everything and everyone. Look at it this way…Opinions are just like having an A**hole…Everybody’s got one. * Hummmm…I hope that helps. It may add a few more years to her life.*
    If this way of life helps to fill a void in your mind, body and soul. I have a few suggestions to give ya. Take aaalllllll that energy that you spend defending Bey and instead try helping with issues that really are meaninful. Like world hunger, abused women and children, homelessness, poverty, better schools, become a Big Sister to an unfortunate little girl, participate in church, help the elderly, get a pet etc, etc… I do a few of these things and it is a great pay off. You should try at least one. Because I can’t imagine you all wrapped up into Beyonce’ like that. Worrying and defending some woman who is rich, great performer, loves what she is doing and makes a living at it, married to a husband she adores, traveling the world, very tight with her family. In other words…She don’t need yo help. She’s living a life that most of can only dream of or imagine. And that goes for anyone who is fighting over some damn star. We’ve got enough “Wack Jobs” already loose on the streets. Get it together. And stop worrying about dumb shyt.

    I’M 100 SURE LA REID WILL DESTROY THIS CD LIKE HE’S DONE EVERY OTHER CD AT DEF JAM. E=MC2 was a GOOD CD. The singles should have been
    1. Touch my Body
    2. Thanks for Nothing (perfect single: Ladies in the hood and boardrooms would have LOVED this single)
    3. I Stay in LOVE
    4. That chick

    LA REID is a FOOL, he ruined Janet and mariah’s CD. I have NO faith in him, at all.

    this song is ok, but for mariah to be a LEGEND, this sounds like a poor attempt vocally. Not cool. Mariah Carey Sets the STANDARD for vocals, this is just Lazy. Bit*&H even sounds bored on this.

  7. Shonty Graham

    I’ve noticed that people still want to hear the Mariah from the 80s but like everything else music has evolved, this woman has been in the industry for years and i think she still has, not like the 80 but this song is fire, get over it peoples

  8. Barbie *Tha Real One*

  12. Darrell

    Mariah Carey could have done better than this i Love Mariah but if u think this hot u must b deaf or Obsessed fan

  13. vee

    @Black-n-Mild if you had heard mariah sing live in the recent years, you would know that she has indeed lost her voice. she either lips, screams, or tries to sound good. maybe her performances would be good for a novel singer but for someone who has been out for so many years, it’s sad.

    i mean at least whitney has an excuse-she was cracked out so her voice declined. what’s mariah’s excuse? but anyway, whitney was the better singer b4 the drugs hit. she had a gorgeous fluid voice. and if she was out now, she would be making better music than mariah. mariah tries too hard to appeal to the dumb young ppl that would actually buy this garbage. i read the lyrics to this song and they’re appalling in how immature they sound

  14. TheMan

    sorry Whitney set the STANDARD for singers and mariah followed

  15. Barbie *Tha Real One*

    @My – P.O.V. – is….

    WELL I SEE HAVE A BLAK BIG SCARY MONSTOR FOLLOING BACK YOU BEAST LOL… NOW AM GOING TO PAY YOU TO FOLLOW ME HOW ABOUT IT ARE U UP FOR THE JOB? LOL

  16. Barbie *Tha Real One*

    @Alicia Keys a Future Legend

    YES MC SOUNDS A MESS THIS IS NOT THE 90′S NO MORE ,,, BEYONCE WILL OUT SING MC TODAY AND HAS DONE IT AT EVERY AWARD SHOW THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN IN… THE SONG IS WACK IN WONT BE NO SINGLE LADIES AND THATS THAT… AND SHE IS USING AUTOTUNE WHAT A JOKE AND SHE IS A LEGEND PLZ SHE IS DAMN OLD AND THEM MAKING DISS RECORD WHAT I MEAN ON WHAT E SAID IF IT’S NOT TRUE WHY FEED INTO? AND THEN SAID THAT IN THE THE SONG BUT SHE IS FEEDING INTO LOL THATS WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT LOL MC WAS THE QUEEN OF THE 90′S THE 00′S GOES TO BEYONCE SORRY

  17. Barbie *Tha Real One*

    @Nichole

    HAHAHA UR MAD !!!!! AUTOTUNE EEKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! LOL

  18. AllStar

    This is a hot mess. She is trying way too hard on this song. Autotune? Talking about weed and ecstasy? For real Mariah? She really needs to sit down. It sounds like she tried to put all the current “trends” in music into one song. I’m not feeling it. It sounds like something a 19 year old should be singing.

    The sad part is, the same people talking about how much they love this are the same ones saying Janet needs to grow up. Not trying to start a comparison because this is Mariah’s thread, but you guys know I’m right.

  19. Note

    You guys must be easily impressed….not sure if any of you guys know how battles work…but lines only work if they have substance….You can’t say your a coorperation and the other person is mom and pop…when the person your talking about is a multi millionaire, multi-platinum aritst with a clothing line that generated quite a few millions in profit…that makes no sense.

    Then i saw another line….”must be the weed must be the E, cuz u be poppin cuz u get it poppin”….Sorry but didn’t he already acknowledge this…thats like making fun of a openly gay person because he’s gay….redundant. His album title is relapse for christ sake. Plus the line itself isn’t very good and doesn’t go anywhere…don’t see what the big deal is…

    Then this line… “finally found a girl you couldnt impress, last man on earth you still couldnt hit this”….uhhh did everyone forget “Superman”? I mean didn’t they go out…now all of a sudden he can’t hit? C’mon ya’ll. If your going to diss at least be sure to have substance…I like Mariah but this is Diss record two at least (Clown was the first one) and she stay taking L’s. I mean at least she stood up for her self…but its not doing anything. Maybe it will be a moderate hit or something but as far as battles go….L.

  20. Mutada al sader the king

    The boy Dream did it again, Pensado and Jaycen mixed it and got the track sounding like 2010 and Tricky kind of did a “Dr. Dre” ish type thing with the track, so its perfect. Eminem needs to shut the fuck up now. lol I love this joint

  21. MCLamb

    I personally think the song is hot and very right now (catchy beat, autotune). At first I thought it was odd she would release this as a first single but then I had to think this will create alot of buzz on blogs, radio stations, etc and hype up her new album coming out. What I dont get is why people are complaning she used auto-tune. It’s not her first time (she did it on Migrate from E=MC2) and lets be honest it sounds very good and EVERYONES doing it right now. So as soon as Mariah pics up a mic and does it then its a problem right? The auto-tune fits the song and beat. People are so OBSESSED with what she does just let that lady live. It has nothing to do with a declining voice. She’s expierementing with new things, new sounds and nothing is wrong with that. She hasnt had a hit this explosive since The Emanicipation of Mimi. Lets make this her 19th Number 1 single lambs. I applaud her for 1. standing up for herself and for 2. making the type music she wants to make. Everyone compalins they want the old Mariah back well guess what this isnt 1990, 91, 92, 93, 94 its 2009. Dont like it dont listen to it. Go buy a old Mariah album and listen to that. O B S E S S E D!

  22. jenieycancellieri

    Thank God……..can we get this on the whole album this time Mariah……….
    Eminem………*smack, smack*……….haahahahahaaha

  23. Nabil

    MC keep it up.

  24. LaWayne

    Mariah’s the best…..SHE’S BACK!!

  25. Jeff

    Buahahaha, this song is so obviously about Eminem that its ridiculous

  26. truthfullyspeaking

    Now I love Mariah Carey, but I think that she needs to give it a rest. This song sounds like everything that has been out! The cover is hot but the song is not.

  27. Alicia Keys a Future Legend

    @Barbie you kiss Beyonce’s ass to the fullest don’t you and I know you didn’t just say Brandy and Mariah are trying to be on Beyonce’s level I’m sorry, but they have been out for how long they already proved themselves they have already reached the legend status while you’re girl has to release albums evey year just to become a legend and icon let’s face it if Beyonce would have never releasd albums ever year I doubt she would be called the hottest chick in the game that’s the only reason why she still is hot becasue she is afraid her little spotlight will burn out Mariah never had to worry about that because she is still the baddest and everyone knows that her Brandy, Mary, Janet, etc are the TRUE AND REAL QUEENS of this game so sit back and enjoy the ones who paved the way for your idol hun!!!!

  28. Alicia Keys a Future Legend

    @Barbie you’re not oly a Beyonce ass kisser you’re also other singers kissers too since you stay on other females post talking trash and I must have hit a nerve because you got so emotional over me saying Beyonce screams too much hey it’s true the girl screams are annoying!!!!

  29. DaVetta

    why does she continue to dress like a whore?

  30. Girl

    @Barbie sorry,but Mariah is still the Queen being a Queen does not just fade out here is how it goes!!!

    The Kings in the history of music- Michael Jackson, James Brown, Prince, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Elvis Pressley, Al Green etc

    The Queens in the history of music- Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Brandy, Patti, Tina, Diana, Cher, Madonna, Celion, Aretha, Monica, etc

  31. Oh Okay lol

LOL WHEN BEYONCE WAS TRYING 2 GET OUT THERE MARIAH WAS GRABBING GRAMMYS. SHOOT BEYONCE LISTENED TO MARIAH ON HER “RADIO” LOL MARIAH WAS COMPETING WITH WHITNEY AND STILL MAKING HITS 2 THIS DAY. BEYONCE HAS NO COMPETITION AND THATS WHY SHE STILL ABLE TO SELL RECORDS. SHE WOULDN’T HAVE LASTED IN THE 90s. SHE WOULDA BEEN ANOTHER SHANICE!

  32. oh okay lol

    @217.

    SORRY BUT BRANDY AND MONICA ARE NOT QUEENS. ALL OF THOSE OTHER LADIES HIT THEIR PEAK AND WERE STILL ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL YEARS LATER. BRANDY AND MONICA HIT THEIR PEAKS IN THE 90s AND WERE NOT ABLE TO GAIN MAJOR SUCCESS AFTER WARDS.

  33. Thandie

    @219 Brandy and Monica are Queens so many young artist look up to them who cares if they aren’t as big anymore doesn’t mean they are not legends!!!! Aretha and Patti aren’t doing anything anymore and neither is Whitney does that meant they are no longer Queens or legends no!!!!!

  34. My - P.O.V. - is....

    Barbie (Dreamdoll) sit cho wanna be plastic white ass down. Or is it Dreamdoll I’m dealing with??? Lawd knows I ain’t good with Bi-Polar Bee-ah-chez. Humpf.!!!.. Naming yo self after Baby Dolls. GROW the hell up already. Because it’s about time you deal with women…NOT little girls. And …Oh yes indeed… I’m that Woman fa sho. So you need to stop effin with Alicia Keys a Future Legend and deal with me. Okay?? I don’t hear you, dammit!!! Speak up heffa. You’re probably more fake and full of plastic than Barbie is, and your Dreamdoll probably looks more like Ragedy Ann, Minus Andy because he got tired of competing with Beyonce’. Lol
    Anyway heffa…What was it that made you totally ignore my suggestions? Was it because you can’t elevate yourself to a higher level and only can relate on Beyonce’s level?

  35. Macy

    @BARBIE YEAH MARIAH IS NO BEYONCE… BECAUSE SHE IS 100x’s BETTER WHILE BEYONCE IS STRIVING TO BE A LEGEND AND ICON MARIAH HAS ALREADY BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT SHOOT SHE DON’T EVEN NEED TO BE STILL MAKING MUSIC BECAUSE SHE HAS ALREADY PROVEN HERSELF SHE IS BASICALLY JUST RELEASING MUSIC FOR THE FUN OF IT BEYONCE RELEASING MUSIC SO SHE CAN GET WHERE MARIAH IS AND BECAUSE SHE IS AFRAID SHE IS GOING TO LOSE THE LIMELIGHT!!!!!

  36. My - P.O.V. - is....

    Oh Miss Barbie or Miss Dreamdoll…..Ahem…Y’all come over here . There’s room for both of you. Now…Cont.
    Anyway like I was saying… I heard of this Star who became rich and famous and did quite well for herself, But Hunnie everytime that heffa opens her mouf she sounded like a run away slave……I just can’t think of her name right now…But this should be encouraging to you and give you hope. You know how much I care about you. **Rolls Eyes** I mean it’s people like you that make a difference in the world and make it a better place. So when you throw out all those facts. This cures hunger. And when you name each and every last song. This cures homelessness. And when you constantly remind people she is the Queen and she is killin that person’s favorite artist. This is a biggie now….Is everybdy ready???? This heffa protects us from Valcones, Hurricanes, Global warming, tsunami(sp), Cures AIDS and ends all wars around the world. Bringing brotha and sistas together. You and Dreamdoll work well together on and off ya meds.

  37. Macy

    @216 I’m confused are you being sarcastic to them?

  38. My - P.O.V. - is....

    Hey Barbie (Tee Hee Hee-Hee Hee Hee)

    This is the last one for tonight….Now was #202 directed to moi??? Cause Mama didn’t understand one damn thing…..Nada!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ya see, I tried to tell you that your relationship with Bey was/is unhealthy. Got your Bobble head so full of stats, facts, and numbers concerning Bey that you lost yo mind(s). And can’t write out a complete sentence or thought. SMDH. What grade are you in? I don’t mess with children. That was worst than, ‘See Sam Run’. I guess ‘Cat in a Hat’ is just too advanced for you.

    Oh I know….it was Dreamdoll effin with your mind(s). Y’all both wanted to tell me off at the same time and so that’s what I get. A bunch of shyt thrown together.

    Okay….I think you two have won this round. Waving my white flag. I don’t mess around with crazy folks either………………….PEACE!!!

  39. Focused1

    I didn’t like this on song the first few listens, but I love it now. The beat really compliments the song. If she had sung in a more agressive tone it would’ve been even better. Eminem is such a loser. He picks on pop stars for attention even after all these years. He’ll never call out a rapper like Young Jeezy. He knows he’ll get his ass whooped.

  40. WOW

    the song is alright nothing to get excited over. Mariah has lost it, and her vocals are lacking as usual

  41. Eliza

    @220 Mariah is still the Queen!!!!

  42. daniel

    omg mariah the song on fireeeeeeeeeee

  43. Eliza

    Oops I meant @227 Mariah is still the Queen!!!

  44. mimilamb

    to #199 Mariah has been in the game for a little over two decades and still crank out hits. And Mariah is a corporation compared to Eminem. She has a jewelry line and a perfume that sold out within the first hour at Macys. She is considered a legend while he is known for taking potshots at anyone more relevant than he is. His career was built on him making fun of himself and other artists. What exactly has he contributed to music. Kanye West in on his way to replacing him that’s why he decided to put out another album.

  45. CODYFOXX

    I am a DJ of many years AND this song is f**king HOT !! The remixes are going to be awsome !!! Get use to this song !!! Mariah Carey proves she is a DIVA at anything she does. What a true …. pure voice … and talent!!

  46. The Hater

    Grandma Carey really needs to stop

  47. Ahhh

    Some dudes can really get a dedication from me with this one lol
    Super hot!

  48. Agentm

    ALli got to say this is fire !!! MC has brought us that heat!!! and she did it with class!!! go mariah!!!

  49. Not Buying It

    Obsessed probably the worst song in 2009. Eminem wrote a few lines about her and now she is dedicating a whole lot to him.
