Listen!!!! New Mariah

Filed under: Mariah Carey

mcobs1.jpg

Mariah Carey''s new single, Obsessed, which she reportedly wrote about Eminem, premiered on Tuesday.

The verdict?

We don't hate it.

We don't LOVE it.

The lyrics are sharp but the music is boring, definitely unexceptional.

The song is definitely urban, and we miss old-school Mimi.

She needs to go back to making POP music!!!!!!!!! Or even a great dance song!

Lady GaGa is the hottest female on radio right now. Take note, Carey.

Try again, Mimi! Try again! We know you have it in you! You've been doing the urban thing for far too long now! Going back to pop would be something different, fresh. A change would do you REAL GOOD!!!!!!!

Listen to Obsessed below.

What do U think of the song????

P.S. The way she copies the Blame It On The Alcohol stutter is way lame.

Is Jamie Foxx getting royalties?

  4. 104

    What are you talking about Perez, this song is so good its different than anything else she has done since when has she been Urban??? this is the only song that could qualify as Urban so shut up stop hating on mariah. You cant compare mariah and lady gaga. Mariah Carey is an actual singer lady gaga is a performer. LOVE OBSESSED!!!!



  5. 105

    I like it, but I don't LOVE it like I did with "Touch My Body" on the last album. It's a hot song though…



  6. 106

    BOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG….Wait till Madonna's new single drops. That shit is FIRE!!!!

    I Love this song :) its Cool n Fresh,and You Perez are an IDIOT :) how can u compare Mariah to this Cheap No Talent Bitch Gaga.lol

    its a good choice for mariah as first single relese=and the second release should be a Ballad song,like she did with the Emancipation album 1



  11. 111

    Sounds like the same Bullshit she always puts out….



  12. 112

    I actually kinda like this..true it doesn't show anywhere near what she can do with that voice…but it's catchy =]



  13. 113

    I freakin love this song:)
    Ya damn skippy eminem got MERKED… Like BAM!!!
    :)
    SGSHW!!!!!!



  14. 114

    WELLL i LOVE iT!!
    it has a nice summer vibe to it
    woooohoo mariahh ma babess ;p



  15. 115

    Perez, you suck vagina! This is killer Mariah! It's got the hook, the bassline and its going to be her 19th number one. And you? I don't see you toppin' the charts on any list. Now I agree that Lady Gaga is the best but Mariah never gets anything from you except the usual hating. That's why I love it when you have to eat hairy vagina and eat your words. You said you don't hate and you said you don't like it. You're fucked! You can't even make a decision. Mariah is doing what has been successful since Butterfly. Let any of your other flash in the pans - Katy Perry - have a career as strong as Mariah's and then let's talk. ROCK ON WITH OBSESSED! Mariah is da princess….



  16. 116

    Its ok She needs to go back to old school Mariah like during her Fantasy days.



  17. 117

    totally sucks never liked mariah…. ever shes ugly



  18. 118

    well i like it…



  19. 119

    Hott work it out hussie!



  20. 120

    I love it. GaGa can't touch Mariah. I am feeling this song but she is doing something I never do and that's feed the lames. No one believed that fool anyway. :)



  21. 121

    horrible:/



  22. 122

    This is such a great chorus! Oh Oh Oh Ohhhhho! Can't wait to hear the remix she just finished. LOVE IT!

  23. exBFF says – reply to this


    123

    yawn.



  24. 124

    Umm I didn't hear any JAIMIE FOX but, I heard some AUTOTUNE!! QUE LASTIMA!! She can't sing no mo or what?

  25. AG420 says – reply to this


    125

    wow, did not expect to like this, but i actually do!



  26. 126

    Im a huge Mariah fan but this fucking song SUCKS!!! and Perez we all know your sucking Lady Gaga's dick and you feel the need to compare every female artist with Gaga but its getting old. Mariah needs to be Mariah but she really needs to step out the urban shit she keeps putting out. Im so sick of that fucking white trash Eminem why would she have to waste our time making a song about him I FUCKING HATE THIS SONG!!! I love you Mariah but please step out the box



  27. 127

    I love it!!



  28. 128

    Ewwww whatsup with her stomach? Anyway the song sux and man what happened to her voice?



  29. 129

    i thought pop stood for popular music. besides aren't all the singers that popular right doing the "urban/dance" thing right now.



  30. 130

    I'm not a big Mariah fan by any means…I thought "Touch My Body," and "It's Like That" were really fluffy and silly…sure, catchy, but easily forgettable.

    I was immediately floored by this. I'd be shocked if this isn't the song of the summer. It's going to rip radio a new asshole.

    I've been waiting for her to make another UPTEMPO track that people can actually bump to in their cars and dance to in the (non-gay) clubs, and she's finally done it!

    Not to mention, it's nice to hear her finally have some confidence..and I think her vocals are fine. At least there's none of that whispery shit, and the adlibs at the end are still better than anything any other artist on the radio could produce.

    Mostly, it's catchy as sin.



  31. 131

    Another genius pile of sh*t from Mariah. Well I suppose she didnt have further to fall after the fiasco that was "Touch My Body." Pretty much everything since Butterfly has been desperate and crap really! Next!!!

  32. J2thb says – reply to this


    132

    I love it!! Perez your obsession with Gaga is getting pathetic!!



  33. 133

    blah blah blah…this song isnt all that….

    black eyed peas-imma be cool song



  34. 134

    I LOVE IT!
    and i agree with others that it doesn't show of her vocal range like a good ballad would! but the lyrics are catchy.
    and perez to quote the song "you're delusional."
    we can all tell that you are just trying to help lady gaga!



  35. 135

    her new stuff sucks! she was way better back in the 'day' if she still sang like that people would love her but pfft to her new stuff!



  36. 136

    Just for the record…..Jamie Foxx copied Three Six Mafia's Stay Fly with the stutter……DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  37. 137

    I LOVE IT! sucks it's about eminem, though… seriously? Is she in highschool?



  38. 138

    She used to be so talented..now her stuff is so generic and manufactured. What a shame and a waste of a beautiful voice.



  39. 139

    URGH! no offense but i dont particuarlylike many of Mariahs more recent stuff, but this is horrible! Plus, sounds horribly editted :( Come on Mariah you can do better than this (:



  40. 140

    You forgot to mention how HOT She looks!!!!! Miss GAG GAG will never look this Sexy!!
    She copied nothing Ass!!
    Mariah is an R&B Singer. not a pop singer so stop comparing her to your Gag Gag.
    She teamed up with "The Dream" for this song and the so called "copied sounds" fit right in with The Dreams sound. Perez, why ya always gotta be such a shit!!!!!!!



  41. 141

    What are you talking about Perez? I LOVE this song, sounds great, a new sound for Mariah :D x



  42. 142

    it's not that bad… I just wish I could write a song like that…Eminem wanted to have sex with me, but in my version, i'd be obsessed with him! I love him so much!



  43. 143

    Her stomach looks disgusting. I guess she's trying to appeal to ghetto trash



  44. 144

    i think the songs hot.
    BTW Perez if u did Ur homework u would have known The Dream & Tricky were behind Blame it on the Alcohol. Anyway Lady Ga Ga is only marketed to a certain section of radio listeners. basically only dance station. urban based radio don't care about Ga Ga I think she's highly overrated & will nothing more than a novelty within a yr or 2. Mariah's been out 4 nearly 20 damn yrs. time 2 show some respect & bow down.



  45. 145

    I love how she quotes the movie " Mean Girls"
    We already have old school Mariah albums. Why can't we just appreciate her releasing something new. GEEZ what A fucking tough Crowd!! The song is good and we haven't even listened to the rest of the album yet. She always has something to please all.
    Mariah is the best.
    So since your Madge doesn't have a new album, now you must start comparing her to GAG GAG!!! Ugh!!



  46. 146

    BTW!! Mariah Looks HOT in this cover and always!!!
    GAG GAG, NOT SO MUCH!!



  47. 147

    Snoozefest. Yawn.



  48. 148

    Re: RAdamsIsAGod
    You're Crazy!!
    Get your eye's checked.
    Only Ghetto trash would write such a ghetto comment!!!



  49. 149

    its a good song to listen to in the radio while driving

  50. dark1 says – reply to this


    150

    IT BLOWS, JUST LIKE ANYTHING THIS WHALE PUTS OUT.

    ALL YOU IDIOTS THAT ARE SHOUTING THAT THIS HER NEXT #1 SINGLE,

    DIDN'T YOU ALL SAY THAT ABOUT HER LAST 3 FLOPS, OOPS, I MEAN SINGLES?



  51. 151

    I really like it! It doesn't make me think of glitter or butterflies so that's a good thing, right?



  52. 152

    MARIAH CAREY has sold more than 200million Copies/Sales Worldwide and she's the World Ultimate Pop/R&B Queen Of OUR Time… But If she's gona try to do anotha AUTO TUNE Crap-Rappers Ghetto style album just like Rappers LIL WAYNE, TPAIN, CHRIS BROWN or JAMIE FOXX… then I duno what else to say or expect anymore from Her!?! Seriously!!!

    MARIAH does NOT need any of these AUTO TUNE Crap Style on Her FIERCE Powerhouse Vocals, period… She NEEDS to STOP being "Too ghetto" or "Too Desperate DIVA" like BEYONCE!?! And then, MARY J BLIGE, TONI BRAXTON and WHITNEY coming up with another AUTO TUNE Crap ALBUMS as well… Really Now… Seriously… These DIVAS need to SNAPP OUT OF IT, SING their Hearts N Soul N Pipes Out again… NO MORE Auto Tune BS Lame Crap!?!



  53. 153

    THIS SONG SUCKSSSS!!!!
    EMINEM DOESN'T GIVE A SH*T WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY!



  54. 154

    THIS IS DIFFERENT ! I love that sound, she never did something like this, it's hot & gangsta, she killed Eminem on that one !
    ugh Lady GaGa who cares right now ? Mimi eats her up, she's a diva



  55. 155

    Sucks!



  56. 156

    This song is an answer to Eminem's "Bagpipes from Baghdad" on his Relapse album.

    Once you hear it, it gives this song new life. GO MC!!!



  57. 157

    LjsBossLady you can go and suck dick! This is MC's version of a taster, the material is gunna be even better on her album, i know it, she is gunna surpass the Beatles with the most number ones :D show your support lambs and buy her singles and her album! We can make our favourite artist bigger than she has ever been if we keep supporting her :d x



  58. 158

    i love it. perez is correct that's its urban. don't try and make mimi into madge!
    i am going to work out to this song!!



  59. 159

    AND its not coppying jamie foxx, its calling him out. you have no miami in you with these type of comments.



  60. 160

    Perez, stop saying "we" like the rest of the Internet community agrees with whatever you say! Obviously, you don't have aything to say about this song, and your attempt to make a stab at the way she copies BOTA, is just not a clearly defined opinion. Who ru afraid of?

    ALSO. MARIAH, not Mimi, has always had R&B ROOTS. Pop was never how she started out. Get ur facts straight. This is obviously a chill song, and not meant to be a club banger or truly inspirational song. Just because you are BfFF (best FAKE friends forever) w/ Lady Gaga, whom I also love, doesn't mean you have to stomp all over Mariah's new song.



  61. 161

    totally sucks



  62. 162

    I agree that the music of the song is way boring. I don't hate the song either but just not as hot as I thought it would be…. Yep, but that just be me being biased since I am all TONI BRAXTON….



  63. 163

    Obsessed sounds like the poor little cousin of Migrate, but it's ok, it's catchy, and I think it's gonna do very good on radios in USA. But, MC, honey, FORGET IT! It's gonna flop in the rest of the world. And take care honey, as Perez said: GaGa and the dance music are just RULING the airwaves in USA, so, if you're not lucky enough, you're gonna see that veeeery soon.



  64. 164

    horrible.whoriah is over.



  65. 165

    DO NOT EVER, EVER compare mariah carey to freakin lady gaga. i like gagas music, but she doesnt have real skill and mariah carey's a living legend. shes up there with real artists who have been around 4 forever and gaga and dancepop in general is just a phase in music that will most likely die in the future. mariah carey's R&B will never die…. thats right, i said R&B…..



  66. 166

    Great!!! I'm obsessed with it ;D Go Mariah, all through to the #1 where you belong! Rooting 4 U girl!



  67. 167

    its catchy

  68. pmfj says – reply to this


    168

    boringggggg why did i even click to listen to it .
    this song wont last very long



  69. 169

    burned out of ideas i guess i dont like it.



  70. 170

    Meh, this single is OK. But Whitney Houston is going to wipe up the floor with Mariah in September. I so agree with Kola Boof's assessment of Mariah vs. Whitney. MC is tacky to put her release date only ONE WEEK before Whitney's. I can't wait to see Whitney trounce Mariah in Sales and at the GRAMMYS next year!



  71. 171

    this song is super cute .
    it will be the next # 1 single on the radio garunteed !
    i love this song
    its going on my myspace : ]



  72. 172

    Perez is such a MIMI hater. I LOVE it. SO different. Can't wait to hear what else she gots up her sleeve.



  73. 173

    I loved it! Mariah, has always been R&B pop NOT pop like Lady Gaga! I freaKIN love this song!!!



  74. 174

    Well well,…. is Mariah that so phenomenal for you to compare her with everyone?….
    before madonna, then Leona ( where is she now again?) now Gaga?…
    she is still so relevant… hahahaha who's next Miley Cyrus? Give your self a break Perez



  75. 175

    Mimi and Lil' Kim look so fierce with their tummy tucks!



  76. 176

    This song is hott! This isnt your "typical" mariah.On a bad day she can still sing others off the charts. And i guarantee the ones hating on this board including you PEREZ! will be using either the song or lyrics from this song at a boy they are mad at!!!!!!!

    P.S=DOESNT GAGA USE THE ALTERING VOICE MACHINE ON CERTAIN PARTS OF HER SONGS? HAS SHE CUT TPAIN A CHECK? :)



  77. 177

    Mariah…take note on Gaga? Are you on crack, Perez? Mariah doesn't need to conform to ANYBODY'S idea of what is hot and her 18 number 1 hits and 19 years in the music business proves it. How long has Gaga beena round? A year. And how many hits has she had? 2. This whole electro sound is getting really old. There's electro-pop, now electro-hop. How can you say this is nothing new when it absolutely is! Gaga is a phase and her so called reign will end because nothing is original with her; everything is generic, uninspiring, and uncreative. Mariah's new tune is fresh and funny…perfect for the summer and even though it's a different sound for her, it fits her so well!!!

    #1 hit for sure!!!!!



  78. 178

    I like the song. Although I do agree it would so awesome and great if Mariah came out with another pop album. Oh my god It would be so good!



  79. 179

    Yikes. Pretty disappointing for Mariah. Very forgettable.

  80. MP says – reply to this


    180

    Not good!!! I agree, bring back old school Mimi! Her Right to Dream song from her Tennessee movie was great!



  81. 181

    Loves it. Mariah is perfection 100% of the time. Go MIMI!



  82. 182

    It's okay. Give me 2 weeks and I'll be sayin i'm lovin it!! lol



  83. 183

    And Gaga is a novelty right now. Unlike Mariah, none of her songs will be remembered in the next 10 or 20 years.

    Mariah is still relevant and her old songs bring back good memories of the 90's. Her songs like Fantasy and Honey are still played in the clubs (well they are in Sydney) and so is her new stuff. But it's all the same, because when people hear a Mariah track in the club… they go off.

    Gaga will be virtually non existent in 5 years.

    Mariah is a diva, and she will be remember as one of the best singers of this generation. To even compare these two is like comparing chalk and cheese!



  84. 184

    "Obsessed" is windows banging..a smack you in the face new single! This HOT! Please get with it Perez. Just like you did with "Touch My Body"! I love me some Gaga, but you just cannot compare Mariah with her. Mariah is the best!



  85. 185

    Not too shabby. Miss her pop though. And am way sick of this fucking voice synthesizer bullshit.



  86. 186

    It's alright…I can't hate on this or the cover of her single…I kinda agree that she ought to try adding a bit more pop back into the mix–and I HAVE been loving Gaga lately– :)



  87. 187

    I fucking love that song.. It seriously kicks some ass! Wow.. great job Mariah! She's still got it!



  88. 188

    good god perez. get over your obsessions. gaga is fugly, no matter how much you claim her fame. her music all sounds the same & mariah's used to the girls that come & go in the music biz, yet she's still here but wait…. i can't find madge anywhere, where'd she go?? whitney's comeback??? still waiting,,, celine?? done w/vegas & still nowhere??? britney?? well, you know… she tried.



  89. 189

    I think its fly as hell! At the end of the song does she actually say "he's all up in my george foreman."



  90. 190

    its good!



  91. 191

    It sounds good. Not her best work but good. It still might be another #1 for her.



  92. 192

    After MADONNA, comes MARIAH CAREY, then CELINE DION who happens to be the 3rd POP Artist to have sold more than 200million sales Worldwide.

    MARIAH CAREY with 200million copies/sales sold Worldwide has an Overall 34 worldwide #1 Hits, a whopping 19 #1 US TOP 100 HOT Singles, and 15 multi platinum BEST SELLER Albums to date… MARIAH CAREY is the World's Top Best Selling Female POP/ROCK/R&B Artist Of All Time and Ultimate Pop/R&B Queen!!! NO ONE can Top or Beat MARIAH on that…

    MARIAH does NOT need any of these AUTO TUNE Crap Style on Her FIERCE Power Vocals, period… She NEEDS to STOP being "Too Desperate DIVA" like BEYONCE… or like MARY J BLIGE, TONI BRAXTON and WHITNEY HOUSTON all are Coming up with an AUTO TUNE ALBUMS as well this FALL 2009… Really Now… Seriously… WTF!!! Whats WRONG with these HUGE ICONIC DIVAS??? They all need to SNAPP OUT OF IT and just SANG their Hearts + Soul + Pipes Out again, and NO MORE to AUTO TUNE Lame BS Crap!?! Really!!!



  93. 193

    But After a few listen to this song… its a HOT VIBIN GROOVE NEW SONG from MARIAH CAREY… She could have done a whole lot better… This is NOT her FINEST BEST work/single/song, but its definitely gona hit the Clubs bangin and for sure, its gona score MARIAH with her 20th #1 Hit for 1-2wks!?!

    NOT unless She put out a New HOT killah REMIX or Part II REMIX version with LIL WAYNE and JAMIE FOXX on Collaboration to her "OBSESSION II" Remix… then that would be EVEN Fierce HOTTER than ever!!! And I think it might happen if WE all FANS Unite and Support MARIAH…

    Lets all BUY and SUPPORT this NEW SINGLE… Make this MARIAH's 20th official US #1 TOP 100 HOT HIT SINGLE!!!



  94. 194

    Sorry P, we usually see eye 2 eye, but I REALLY like the song. A summer ladies' anthem. I bet she gets another #1. GO MIMI!!!!!



  95. 195

    I think it's fantastic. Is it my favorite M tune? No…but I love hearing new music from her!



  96. 196

    I thought it started real well..but then just lost my interest.



  97. 197

    DREADFUL !!!! It's neither catchy nor soulful…sounds like a rehash of touch my body in terms of its beat. i hope she comes up with a new sound for her new single.



  98. 198

    Mariah is 100x's more talented than Gaga. Especially old Mariah. I love how someone who has two hits is suddenly a legend. Moron.



  99. 199

    Quite better than Lady Ca Ca millions times. Stop comparisions between Bently and a bike. Carey is a Bently and Ca Ca could be Madonna or Carey maybe
    next life.



  100. 200

    PerezHilton@MariahCarey Are there Somedays? Emotions? Always Be My Babies? Dreamlovers? Fantasies? Heartbreakers? THAT is what you need again!!!! ————— WRONG. this is what she needs, i'm afraid she knows better than you which is why you're blogging and she's the artist. this diva doesn't need a wanna be diva w/no musical ability to give her direction, talk about an ego. get over yourself.
