Mariah Carey discusses "Obsessed" video
Mariah Carey has been known for her many chart topping hits that she seems to have on a somewhat regular basis. Every single time she releases an album, that first single is always a hit. Between the beat, the lyrics, and the catchy hook that always grabs her fans attention, the record eventually becomes a certified hit in a very short period of time. Her newest song entitled, "Obsessed", off her forthcoming twelfth studio has already been receiving critical acclaim and top spins.
We have all been aware of the lyrical content being allegedly aimed at Eminem, content that MC and Nick Cannon still claim was not aimed at anyone in particular and that it was just a coincidence, all in response to a track he recorded directly targeting MC. Either way, the recently released track is still climbing the charts at a rapid rate with the video released sometime last week. The video was directed by Brett Ratner and has MC featured throughout the video as two separate characters, herself and a male stalker. She recently spoke to MTV News about the recently released video of her latest single and spoke on the ideas and concepts that was put into the segments, especially her playing a male stalker.
These were her comments: "Everybody started having their own speculations about who the stalker was. I'm like, look, when I look at that stalker and me with the beard and the whole 9 yards, I look like my cousin Chris. I do. I look like my brother and my cousin Chris. So basically, you know, all the speculation about who I'm playing in the video, it's not accurate."
When MTV News inquired about whose idea it was for her to portray her male stalker, Ratner gave the credit all to MC, while she bestowed the idea upon her husband Nick Cannon: "Well, I live for a disguise, but ... I love the anonymity of it, but actually it was Nick's idea, 'cause we were going after different comedians, comediennes. The thing is that Nick was like, 'Why don't you just play the stalker?' and I'm like, 'I could do that 'cause I've been acting lately,' I've done a lot of different things and I'm very proud of the work that I've done lately, but the thing is that this was the chance to work with Brett Ratner."
MC's new album is officially entitled "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" set to be released on September 15, 2009.
Who are they fooling? The whole damn song is about Slim Shady, everything from the pill-popping to the sex claims. Either way, there is no reason for Shady to be lying anyway, I think he did smash MC and decided to talk about it in his songs. She's probably in denial and refuses to admit she did do something with Em. The song is going to do what it do and make it to that level where it will top the charts, Eminem or not, The Dream and Tricky Stewart gave MC a banging track. (24hourhiphop)
