So did I, but everything on that album felt like a lame retread of stuff that had come before.

VoicesCarry said:

Oh, I do agree on that

PricelessHo said:

She loses points for that but dammit, it's growing on me already. She's queen of the growers.

Why the hell I don't hear her actual vocals clearly, is that because of the autotune.... , even her adlibs are not clear too, an Overproduced Mess.

I thougth it was the quality of the station which by the way, plays some of the worst music I've ever heard.

For me, her first singles need to grow on me a bit. I'd say of the last few years.

Ooh boy why you so obsessed with me
Boy I want to know- lyin' that you're sexin me
when everybody knows it's clear that you're upset with me
Ohh finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth- still couldn't get this

You're delusional, you're delusional
Boy you're losing your mind

Graspin' for air I'm vantilation
You out of breath, hope you ain't waitin

Ooh boy why you so obsessed with me?
Boy I want to know- lyin' that you're sexin me
when everybody knows it's clear that you're upset with me
Ohh finally found a girl that you couldn't impress
Last man on the earth- still couldn't get this

You're delusional, you're delusional

Love the lyrics...but the music..could have been uptempo like she SAID it was..this is mid/slow tempo..Vainandy would be trippin right now. It's not a club summer dance tune as I was expecting.

paisleypark4 said:

I'm expecting to hear more of these types of singles in general right about now.

paisleypark4 said:

Ding!

Has the definition of uptempo changed? Can we all get on the same page, please? Fast lively, or increasing tempo; generally aggressive.

She said she wasn't releasing a ballad first but it's damn near close.

JackieBlue said:

There is something wrong with the sound, so random, not greatly arranged if you get what I mean, her voice is not clear at all, her adlibs sucked, I hope I find better songs on her new album.

I'm not that opposed against the song itself as much I'm opposed against that ugly autotune, UGH

It was all the RAGE back in 1999-2000, and I was so glad she didn't fall for the hype,,,,,why oh WHY did she have to pull this shit now?

Aside from all that, I'm still pretty sicked about Mimi's return.

JackieBlue said:

This is NOT lively This would be a nice mid album tune...but as a first single it sounds like its in the same vein as It's Like That, Migrate...somebody said it's the best single since "Honey"






IS U CRAAYZEHY!

So cheesy and generic!

midiscover said:

thats the word...anyone can do this.

I know right!

WTF happened to her voice?
Wasn't she "the voice"

*sigh* I can't wait for Diva Whitney to come back like NOW!

very nice Rolling Stone review:

Mariah Carey Fires Back at Eminem in New Single "Obsessed" - Rolling Stone

"Obsessed," the first single from Mariah Carey's upcoming album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, debuted on Chicago's B96 radio today, and - surprise - it seems like the song is targeting Eminem, who recently started a beef with Carey and her husband Nick Cannon with the Relapse song "Bagpipes From Baghdad. "I was like, why are you so obsessed with me?" Carey asks before the song even begins.

In "Bagpipes," Eminem rapped, "Mariah, what ever happened to us, why did we have to break up… Nick Cannon better back the f**k up. I'm not playing, I want her back, you punk." Mariah's response? "You're delusional, boy, you're losing your mind," Carey sings over choppy synths, with a dash of Auto-Tune dabbed on her voice. "It must be weed, it must be the E… Why are you so obsessed with me? Lying that you're sexing me." Carey adds some more barbs, like "Telling the world how much you miss me, but we never were so why you trippin' " and provoking the rapper with "You're a mom & pop, I'm a corporation. I'm a press conference, you're a conversation." The biting mid-tempo track is already more musically and lyrically engrossing than E=MC2's singles.

In case you missed the radio debut, the diva's own official Website promises to post the song at 4 p.m. ET today. The news comes straight from Carey's updated Twitter, which not only revealed the "Obsessed" single cover art, which features a drenched Mariah, but also announced that Memoirs will hit stores on August 25th. As for the "Obsessed" video, Rush Hour's Brett Ratner will once again direct Carey, having already made the "We Belong Together" and "Touch My Body" clips. The video is expected out soon.

"Obsessed" was produced by the duo of The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, who also produced the majority of Memoir according to Carey's official site. "Seriously, this is one of my favorite songs ever. I love the whole album. I'm completely immersed in it. I can't wait for you to hear it," Carey previously wrote on her Twitter about "Obsessed," adding that the song already has a remix all ready to go.

I'm still listening to the song.

I know the entertainment industry is its own thing, but I just don't understand the lack of maturity on MC records. She's grown. I don't know anyone over 30, heck probably out of college who would speak in the way she does in these songs. Its really hard to take her music seriously. But maybe she is writing for the 20 year olds, not her own peers in years.

PricelessHo said:

This is trash. When is Mariah gonna grow up? Isn't she gonna be 40 next year?

"You're a mom & pop, I'm a corporation. I'm a press conference, you're a conversation." Eminem gets seriously bitchslapped--again!
