Album

Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is the twelfth studio album by American pop/R&B singer Mariah Carey. It will be released on August 25, 2009.

Background

On June 9, 2009, Carey announced via Twitter that the first single from Memoirs would be "Obsessed" and that it would be released to radio the following Tuesday, June 16; she also stated that "this is one of [her] favorite songs ever." The singer also stated that the song was an "uptempo fun summer record", and even though she wanted to release a Butterfly-era ballad, "Obsessed" had to come out first. She wrote on Twitter, "It's different for me, but clearly, it's SO me!"

I agree, the song is SO her. She So obsessed with herself.

Reviews

Rolling Stone stated that "the biting mid-tempo track is already more musically and lyrically engrossing than E=MC�’s singles"

Hitfix stated that she "pulls it off".

Newsday writer Glenn Gamboa wrote on the paper's music blog that Carey "coos confidently, riding the laid-back beat, probably holding back the laughs as she insults again."

The song received a mixed review from the Los Angeles Times, with a writer stating that although this was "a feistier Mimi than [they]'re used to", she ultimately "has been molded to fit current trends" and that the single "again sells out the songbird to her producers".




Song is good, but nothing special. Sounds like all those lady-gaga, electronic/generic, whateversound you hear on the radio.

[jayneefahxD]

[0oyokisuo0]

her chest looks abnormally big on the cover. the song is aiite, typical.

[「 ENN 」]

Song's okay...

------------------ME?

[babiloveyoo]

Nope, just that they photoshopped her and made her breasts bigger.

[jiwoneex3]

^ MORE than her breasts.

and the songs is aighhhhh.
through the rain will always be my favorite.

I love her new single! Although autotune was used in Obsessed, you still hear Mariah's voice. The autotune doesn't really hide her natural voice. It's nothing major like T-Pain.

[Ichiaru]

WAH is that her?!

Hahahaha no kidding.

To be honest, she can't really outdo her classics like 'My All', 'Hero', or 'Without You' (to name a few). Good for her for adapting to the new trend and trying out new styles ?

[dolcedor.]

I liked the song upon listening to it for about 2 minutes or so, then the song burned out on me.

DAMN YOU, AUTOTUNE. I seriously can't stand it! I can't wait till this whole autotune phase passes, seriously.

[strawberrynkiwi]

It doesn't even sound like her. Her voice is terrible in here. This new style thing is totally not working for her.

Hero is a great song, it's too bad she doesn't like it. She said in an interview she considers it her signature song or whatever because her fans like it. There was a reason why she didn't like it, if I find the interview I'll post it here.

Was this a bash on Eminem? Because she should just take what he says with a grain of sale. Why be bothered to hit back because Eminem will always be Eminem....and lyrically, he'll probably be able to hit back much harder. Just let it go. Let the boy be haha

Catchy song....but i agree ' t....she won't be able to outdo her past ballads...they were classics....these are the 'listen once while it's fresh then forget in the coming months' kind of song. Very forgettable. I've forgotten the tune already...and i heard it 2 minutes ago. O.o

For ballads, the closest hing she made and was really successful was We Beling Together.
