Mariah disses Eminem on "Clown"

mariah carey's song about eminem...
OT - Mariah's song about Eminem (lyrics)
CLOWN

I should've left it at, how ya doin'
I should've left it at
I like your music too, and
I should've never called you back
When you pursued me
I should've never given you
My ***ing N two way
I should've never listened
To your woeful stories
The ones I'm sure you
Told a thousand times before me
You should've never intimated
We were lovers
When you know very well
We never even touched each other

Who's gonna love you when
It all falls down, and
Who's gonna love you when
Your bankroll runs out
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
When the star of the
Show isn't you anymore
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
Fall down...
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
Fall down

I gotta break it to ya delicately, dunny
Takin' my g5 twenty minutes wasn't nothin'
But I guess you wouldn't know
That's the way I roll
Consequently now your ego's fully
Overblown
You don't want the world to know
That you're just a puppet show
And the little boy inside
Often sits at home alone
And cries, cries, cries, cries
(Boo hoo. Who?)

Who's gonna love you
When it all falls down, and
Who's gonna love you
When your bankroll runs out
(When your bankroll runs out)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
When the star of the
Show isn't you anymore
Nobody (Nobody)

Your pain is so deep rooted
What will your life become
Sure you hide it
But you're lost and lonesome
Still just a frail shook one

Who's gonna love you
When it all falls down, and
(Tell me who's gonna love you? Who? I'd like to know)
Who's gonna love you when
Your bankroll runs out
(If you didn't have nothing)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
(Who, who'd still be there)
When the star of the show isn't you anymore
(Nobody, nobody, nobody, oh)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(There ain't nobody baby)
Fall down...
(Bullies in the schoolyard)
(When they fall they fall hard)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(Yeah... so you)
Fall down
(Better think twice, better play nice)
('Cause who's gonna be there)

Who's gonna love you when it all falls down, and
(When the jokes on you)
Who's gonna love you when your bankroll runs out
(A marionette show)
Who's gonna care when the novelty's over
(Who's makin' you move though)
When the star of the show isn't you anymore
(I know what kills you slow)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(I'm gonna keep your little)
Fall down
(Secret though, mmm, hmmm)
(And you know that I know)
Nobody cares when the tears of a clown
(You're no superhero)
Fall down...
(I guess your mamma never told you that what goes around comes around. Pow)

Em has admitted to dating Mariah. He said it in his interview with Rolling Stone. And he said he stopped dating her because she wasn't 'all there' mentally.

Read the interview over. He didn't say anything about her not being all there. He said he respected her as a singer. He also said that not everything you see is real and she does have her problems.

Lyrically, I think 'Clown' is on point. It completely slaughters Eminiem.

What it sounds like is another question. Mariah has a great voice, but her production has been somewhat dire of late.

All those hip-hop lite collaborations have reduced her credibility rather than adding to it.

People assume it's about Eminem because,according to the grapevine,HE was her most recent lover.In a recent Rolling Stone interview,he claims that he slept with her last year (just right before her breakdown).So,she was pissed to see him telling the press all about their affair.Luis Miguel,on the other hand,has been noticeably tight-lipped about their relationship,so I doubt that "Clown" is directed at him.

Ha! Time for Em to get a taste of his own medicine! I just think he may come back a little harder...he's not one to take these things lightly.

Then why would these lines be in the song when everone knows full well she was dating Luis Miguel?

If Mariah were anywhere near to being normal and on the same planet.. she would see that her lyrics could apply to her too...

celebrities are insipid.

I think Mariah still cares about him and Eminem still cares
about her.

Why? For her to put all this effort into making a song about him shows that there's still feelings there.Em mentioned her on his album so same goes for him too,I know he liked hooking up with the Mariah Carey.

I respect both artists and I hope they can grow up and focus
on what's important in their lives and stop bickering like
teenagers.
