Genius! But has it gotten so bad that my idol has gotten to the point that she needs to find somethin to write about & base her first single upon?? I’m a borderline fan now (I absolutely !HATE! Eminem) cuz she’s seem to hav lost her inspiration & had to write about a tiny situation. Good Luck 2 Her & Her Musical Pursuit!

Your name alone is a read. lol @ u sayin a million girls look way better than mariah.. umm, nobody is disputing that. she’s damn 40 years old. What u know about a real woman tho?

And at 17, I doubt you have worked with anyone as talented as Ms. Carey. And as ignorant as you are, “I highly doubt you ever will” in the words of mariah.

This is so GOOD! I love it Mariah. That is exactly what Eminem gets, finally a POP star who is not afraid to go back at him. He has clowned Nsync, Backstreet, Britney, Christina, Miley, Moby, all these POP stars. He thought he was gonna clown Mariah, but she came back on his ass. Good Job Mariah!!!!! now he can sit down with that WEAK ass album.

This reminds me of the 50 Cent/ Lil’ Kim beef. How 50 started to diss Lil’ Kim, then Kim laid his ass out on her Naked Truth album. Lil’ Kim murdered him on that album, now 50 start showin her Respect. Now hopefully Mariah can do that with Eminem, give him a dose of his own medicine.

I used to like her music around her 4th album but then she just lost it
and i said i was a upcoming producer that is working with girls that will grow up to be way better than her beacuse im trying to get signed to T.I. Grand Hustle label i alredy met young Dro and are working out a deal. and I met ciara and she gave me a deal to produce 1 of her songs. Their is a million people in the world that deserrve to be in mariah carey position that are way more talented than her

i have been making songs when my parents first bought me a flute and a toy piano at age 5. i been attraced to music since then. when i was like 10 my parents stated buying me all these musical instruments drums trombone guitar anything you can thinck of. (they invested over (15,000 $ in me) and we were a poor familly) at age 13 my parents bought me a laptop with a ton of music programs and send me to music shool so dont try to question me I been around music since 5. . and im still learning new skills everyday I producer i study music everyday. The fact that mariah carey is swithing things up thats what upsets me and what i meant to say. her music started getting my attention around her 4th album then she just lost it in my terms it means she was really good she seemed unstapable untill the last 2 albums she released like she used her celeberty status for other stuff intead of focusing on good music and know she thinck she is the best thats what upsets me abbout artist. and with this album coming out its official Im not a fan anyomre and yes i have to tell you one more time I know talent. know mariah is talented but i seen artist not just girls but also boys that are super talented. and i wish i can help them out thats why im trying to get signed to a good label not to help myself out but all these talented artist that have you to be discovered. and I know I will make it im alredy their i just need to be aproved by the manegment of Grand Hustle. with this said i have nothing else to tell you. know i dont hate mariah carey i just dont relly respect her anymore i used to look up to her but not no more.

@ C!DABEST!, I agree. This situation with eminem shouldve been considered nothing & ima big fan but she seems 2 hav lost her inspiration for music to even waste her time making a song about him. She shouldve considered him nothing @ all & @ MACH I understand she’s very talented & I agree the video will no doubt be the best BUT! Its kinda of ridiculous how she took a little incident & blew it up 2 base her 1st single on it. Plz don’t hate but I could care less, its my opinion just like its ur own so don’t attack me like you did all the others or imma gonna hav 2 write a song how ur attackin me, LOL!! Love ya Mariah 4ever but wished you had better fans 2 take criticism good!!

@ LaLa Love – First off I’m not attacking you or anyone just giving my take on this. I really don’t get what you mean!?! You can’t possibly think that Mariah is trippin off this lil dude. If she was, she would’ve been said something publicly about it and not just in a song. I mean she already addressed him on 2002’s “Clown” that one wasn’t even a single, so I really doubt she’s doing this to boost sales or because she’s soooo distraught by what he says. He’s the one who keeps bringing it up year after year bashing people. Mariah is happily married, off living her life and still doing the music thing. I’m laughin cause I know that Mariah ain’t even giving that dude the time of day. This is just for fun. Why the hell is it ok for a man to dogg every human being on earth and it’s funny and cool and no hard feelings. Then a woman does it and she’s being immature or childish and she should just let go. lol Crazy. I love woman that have the confidence to say what they feel even if people think they shouldn’t because their a chick.

and what are yaw talkin about MC losing her inspiration. Ha that’s so crazy! Artist always write about what they feel or what they are going through. If you’re inspired by a situation that someone else brought up and just so happened to write a hit song, YOU WRITE IT! duh! Why not, because people might think you’re just doing it for sales? That’s sound so stupid. At least Mariah is real wit it. If she were trying to boost sales by the whole situation, why didn’t she do it years ago on previous albums. Or even when the whole situation was boomin?!? BECAUSE she could care less about that kid! She been out since like 1991 and has been through a lot in her life even before fame. MC can handle anything, especially some lame rumor. Come on!

Just because yaw want her to be singing about heartbreak and slowed down ballads don’t mean she should. The 90’s was a totally different time. None of the artist from that time’s music sound the same, not just Mariah. Boyz II Men, Brandy, Monica, Usher etc They’ve all grown since then and so have most of their fans…I know I have. If Mariah wants to have fun, let her. With this song, Obsessed, I picture Mariah has having fun and laughing at the whole situation. Does she sound angry in this song? NO! To me she sounds calm and collected stating facts and just wondering and asking, Why are you so obsessed with me? ha, I love it! I would ask the same question if I had a stalker.

I love everything from Mariah’s debut album to now. She will always be #1. And MC has had #1 hits since that dude started talkin ish and there was no controversy surrounding any of those songs and they went NUMBER ONE! :)

Love you MC!

I guess that’s why I was on the debate team in school :)

Btw I, for one, am not a big Em fan, in fact his latest album was not really good at all. But c’mon, him vs. Mariah? No chance, Em wins
