Re: Mariah Carey "Obsessed" - June 16th
I wish Mariah would go back to music like this:

Unfortunately, that track was just a b-side from years ago, and yet it's a hell of a lot better than "Obsessed".
YESS! You have good taste

I can't believe that it seems like she had so many great songs that she could have released that may have given her a few more 1#'s. It's hard to believe a song as good as
Slipping Away didn't even make it on her album & it's hard to believe songs like
Never Forget You was never released as its own single, i think that song is one of her best vocals. It's funny how most of her older stuff is 10x better than anything she's had recently and yet we see songs like this go top 10, def shows not only how good music was back in the day, but how shitty it is now!
As far as
Obsessed goes, to me, it's not Mariah & its just awkward! A pretty bad vocal and the
worst lyrics ever (bathing in windex??????????), makes me think damn her bicth ass should hire me to write! However, i think she looks great in the video (as herself) and she hasn't looked as good since
Don't Forget About Us. From reviews, i heard the album will be similar to her Butterfly days, but i dont see that at all with based on Obsessed, so i dont know what she has in store. The only thing that i am really looking forward to is her cover of
I Want to Know What Love Is. She always had great covers such as
Without You,
Against All Odds,
I'll be There,
I Still Believe, and
Open Arms.
As far as Whitney Houston's "comeback", i love how she is trying to stay "true" to her style of music, but i dont think that
I Look to You will make an impact. Whitney is kinda at the stage in her career where she is just one of those artists that will sell just because of the name or someone that your mom will buy. I can't see kids these days being into her at all for two reasons, 1) they arent into 80's/90's style ballads and 2) they only know her from being a crackhead and pulling shit outta bobby browns ass. Mariah will probably be at that point in a few albums too.
