Hi All, What do you guys think about Mariah Carey's new song titled Obsessed? I think it has a pretty tune to it but do you guys believe the controversy surrounding the song or is it just purely another great song from Mariah?

I wasn't aware of it until I read your post so I went and found the video and oh boyyyyyyy! Who wouldn't be obsessed if they got that close to her - or is she obsessed with herself? She has a great voice and I really enjoy what she does but this does seem particularly comercialised and oh well... she's got it so why not use it?

I like her voice and in my opinion she had no reason to make this last video Maybe not even that type of song.

LOL, D.. Come to think of it, I enjoy her Madison Square Garden days. I mean, I prefer the songs from those albums than now. Matter of preference for me...

I am a fan of Mariah Carey but sad to say i have not listen to her latest single entitled "Obsession". I will check her song on youtube. Please enlighten me why this song is controversial? Thanks!

I don't know if it's true or not, but if you read the comments on youtube, you will know the controversy surrounding it. I don't believe anything; unless there's a direct statement from the celebs themselves. I think those are just songs. I am more interested in the beat than the lyrics. So, have you listened to the song? Did you like it?

WEll welll well... It's been a long time since i last heard any pop songs, or english songs.. lol =D I do know that mariah has got a new song, but i dunno what song is that.. hehe ^_^ MAybe i should do a search on it, listen, before commenting more on that song.. haha =D All i know is that, she used to be a very good and powerful singer, but in the recent years, her singing power has weakened by alot, to the extend she's no longer singing with 'vibrance' and 'echo' in her voice.. hehe

Well, whitney houston is almost gone.. lol =D Her powerful voice in the past, will never be the same again.. And nobody has that kind of voice like her, even leona lewis is not as powerful.. haha I have not listen to this song yet, but i dun think mariah will go back to those songs again, as her vocal is not quite there.. hehe ^_^ The very last song i hear from mariah is, We belong together, and though it's nice, but the feel is different.. lol =D

Try and listen... it's nice.. I think her voice has perhaps mellowed with age.. but she's one of the longest standing singers ever. I think Whitney Houston's also awesome, but she's also toned down a bit... I think age is catching up with them. That, or either they have been 'resting' for quite awhile, so coming back to sing, makes the songs they seem really different.

It does have a very catchy melody. The kind that could possibly get stuck in your head at times right?^_^ It is indeed another great song from Mariah, but one that is not just unfounded. I mean, there is truth to the meaning of the song. There are just some people who have this intense admiration for celebrities that they would do anything to just be close to them as possible. Some might even wanna be them or replace the real ones. Kinda like the movie "Single White Female". Though there are those good kinds of obsession. The ones that understand that they could be obsessed with a certain celebrity but still knows their boundaries about being an obsessive fan and would never try anything crazy just to get closer.

Very well said there, Bj.. you are right. This stalking thingy happens a lot to celebrities and that's something they have to deal with when deciding to become an artiste..

LOL... I wouldn't call that a stalk, though... It's not damaging at all, so stalk all you want..

Yep, one of the prices of fame. That doesn't happen to famous people though. Like you, I 'stalk' you at times.

I’ve just seen the video; she plays the male part too, right? I did hear that this song is a dig at Eminem. The man in it sure could be him. I don’t know if it’s true but the video is interesting and the song is good. I find Mariah Carey a bit too self absorbed but she is gifted, can’t deny that!

You are right, Paula.. she is exceptionally talented and gifted, her octave level of voice is just awesome.. Yup, that's the rumor. I wonder if it's true or not as well; or it might just be a coincidence. Who knows.. the mystery surrounding it will make the song popular, I'm sure..

Yup2x.. with the goatee and all, she looks 'handsome', But she got this rapper image in it, so it will be awhile before you realize it's Mariah..

I have no idea what to believe in the world of show biz. And looking at that song, it's hard to tell who is obsessed with whom. If she has gone ahead and made a song about him, then I would say she is obsessed with him..LOL.. But she does have an awesome voice!

Hahaaa.. your answer is cute. Agrees with you, Cb that her voice is awesome... I watched the video on I didn't realize it was her being the 'guy' in it.

Yup I guess its is another great song by Mariah Carey. Well about controversies? No1 knows what's true and what isn't, controversies can be pretty true and completely false too. So, lets just enjoy the music.

I think that might just be a rumor after all .. The song's beat is so nice, right.. ? I love it too... but I don't know what the lyrics is all about. Mariah has always been a unique singer, but I miss her songs in the album. She should do a remake or something; of the old songs... that would be so cool..

Hi, zed_k4. I like it because it shows Mariah in a whole different light. She looks more sexier and prettier. The guy in the video actually is Mariah herself. She makes a cute looking dude though. I love this video, Mariah has really out done herself this time! It is not controversy. Just another great song from Mariah herself!

That's cute, isn't it.. I watched the video the other day and I thought Mariah's rendition of being a guy was just awesome. And I love her voice too. I don't think it's controversy as well; just another fabulous song from her. Thanks for dropping by, cream..

[b]Hello my friend I love Mariah, I am sure i heard this song the tittle does not ring a bell, I will listen to it after I respond, what are they saying about it? Mariah has so many good hits, it don't matter what people say she has a gift and no one can take that away from her, I hate when people talk just to hear themselves its really sad, please share what is being said I have not heard anything thus far, just curious, although nothing anyone say will ever change my opinion of her. Thanks for sharing my friend.[/b]

Hiya Kitty, hope you are doing great. I liike Mariah's voice too, she's always super good with it and the tone of her voice is definitely rhythmic. There have been rumors or speculation saying that she aims this song at someone. But I don't know whether that is true or false. No names mentioned in the song anyway. But the beat is just so awesome. Have you listened to it?

[b]Hello my friend I was not sure of the tittle but I listened to it after responding to you, I heard it before, I like that song, I would not be surprised if she has a stalker or two so many celebs have this problem, as long as they keep their distance and don't cause her any harm all is well, I also like the song called I give my all or my all, thats a beautiful song, you like that one? I must say I like most of her music she has a beautiful voice and her songs are really great and the words are special as well. Thanks again my friend.[/b]
