Mariah Carey: Obsessed (song premiere)

We’re slightly underwhelmed by Mariah Carey’s brand new single, the supposedly Eminem-bashing ‘Obsessed‘.

The song is decent enough – and good on her for playing Em at his own game, if indeed that’s what she’s doing – but we were hoping for a rather more daring sound from Mariah. However, ‘Obsessed’ essentially follows the same urban template showcased on ‘E=MC2′’s ‘Migrate’.

What do you think of Mariah Carey’s new single? Are you looking forward to her forthcoming album ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’?

  3. Adem With An E Says:

    I actually really like it. Not amazing or anything, but it’s fairly harmless/bit of a trainwreck.

  4. Latisya Says:

    I am not feeling this at all simple because I hate mid-tempo R&B and auto tune. I do love Mariah but this surely not her best work in this decade.

    Obsessed is strictly for avid fans! :(

  5. Dj Bibo Says:

  9. Ms Dee Says:

    Question: Do I have to waste my time listening to this Eminem make-believe drama for this Summer?

    Answer: No…I dont think so. Sorry, I have better things to do!

  11. fiercermc Says:

    This is my shit!!!
    MC is always on FAIAH

  12. Flop Says:

    looks like 99% Mooriah’a are stoned here.

    This is so exceptionally forgetable and awful. She should be lukcy if this song would even enter Top 40 across the Europe.

  13. Pre-determined Says:

    Obsessed Mariah’s new single: I think it’s obvious Eminem and Mariah are making up a fake conflict to save their dwindling careers.

  14. twink winks Says:

    Hellooo… whoever says that MC’s career is dwinlding is… a confused loser!
    This song is hot!!! Auto tune is hot!!!
    MC is Hot!!

  15. Shenna Says:

    As much as I hate Eminem, this song sucks. She should should either retire or take a break. Her creativity is running dry!!

    Hoochie mama, dresses like a stripper with the t–s sagging and hanging out.

    Someone needs to tell her how bad she looks because she apparently can’t see it.

  18. Many Vinas Says:

    I dont understand most of it because she uses african american english in most of her songs. Why are her songs specifically made for the african american community and not to a general audience. The song is poorly written. Mariah should get back to her roots and do a Jazz album or something. She always does the same thing over and over. I think after the daydream album, she lost creativity. Everything is the same. Uptempo songs and a few ballads. She needs to create an album with no rap in it. Why is it that her first albums were more successful than her latest. I wonder why. She is not even black to have such a strong inclination to this type of music which I like BTW but it’s not suited for her voice and personality. She is half irish, 25% black and 25% latino. Why does she use a language that only black people can understand? That’s why her music has lost some credibility. Her last album did not even get any grammy nods for being the same type of crap. Mariah reinvent yourself and do something that focuses on vocals, piano, jazz, soul. And change for your own sake.

  19. Geraint Says:

    When was Mariah jazz?

  20. Papichulo Says:

    Thats because she sings with checkbook not her heart like Whitney…

  21. Nana B Says:

    What a desperate cow!! She has become such a joke!

    Seriously! The whole music industry is laughing at her and at her tactics to get the fake no Is. No wonder why she doesn’t have any hits outside the US /worldwide where she cannot manipulate her tactics with hype and payola :(

  22. chris Says:

    its another flop single from mariah. what is that now 6 flop singles in a row? she needs to just go ahead and retire. shes too old and e LAME these days.

  23. Gina G Says:

    .over exposed and boring. Time to popping out babies.

  24. DJ Mentalbeats Says:

    Simply put, it blows. Mariah, grow up and stop sounding like a child. You’re almost 40 years old. By the way, put some clothes on and have some class.

  25. DJ Mentalbeats Says:

    Mariah, give Walter Afanasieff a call. He made your career… and it’s apparent he needs to save it.

  26. zeba Says:

    the songs gud but she has done better. the vid is a bit shit but overall it isnt that bad. and for the people hu dont like da song are exaggerating a bit to much dont u think??

  27. sarah Says:
