I'm baaaack. Why is Obsessed flopping ? :sofunny: ... I just saw the video and it really is her worst video with Brett.

 

Obsessed is flopping because of lack of promo. She'll be on BET on the 23rd so maybe that'll help. And yes finally somebody agrees with me on the video! :clap:

It's not because of Whitney, get over it. Her competition on Sept. 15 will be bigger anyway (Jay-Z and 50 Cent). She is just still writing and recording new songs. Same thing happened with The Emancipation Of Mimi and if it wasn't pushed for 3 weeks we wouldn't have gotten We Belong Together.

CHART BITS

• Billboard Hot 100: Another week at No. 1 places the Black Eyed Peas in elite company. Until this week, only two acts have spent 16 consecutive weeks at No. 1: Boyz II Men (twice) and Mariah Carey. As of last week, the Peas' streak stood at 15 weeks, with 12 for "Boom Boom Pow" and three for "I Gotta Feeling."

 

• Revisiting Billboard's July 21, 1990 issue.

'LOVE' AT FIRST 'VISION': While the Billboard Hot 100 this week nineteen years ago sported a new No. 1, the leap of another song marked the landmark first top five for a rookie who would go on to become music royalty.

 

Few could've foreseen the significance of the move of the song at No. 5. On July 21, 1990, Mariah Carey inked her first top five with the 14-5 vault of "Vision of Love." The song became her first of 26 career top five titles to date.

Mariah Carey Delays New Album Release

Alas, there will be no major Diva Face Off at the next Grammy Awards.

 

That's because Mariah Carey has decided that the unusually early August 31st deadline is not giving her enough time finish her new CD properly. "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" was supposed to be released by Island/Def Jam on August 25th. But now Carey has asked the label to give her at least three more weeks. The new date is September 15th, although even that could change.

 

Carey does have her hat in the ring, though, with the witty and catchy single "Obsessed" already getting lots of airplay. The song is a neat dig at Eminem, who ceaselessly needles Carey in song and and interviews. The "Obsessed" video, directed by Brett Ratner, is also a hit and should only help the single up the charts.

Superstar Mariah Carey Talks Anonymity, 'Obsessed'

 

 

There aren't too many artists in music who can be called legends, but Mariah Carey is definitely one of them.

 

I haven't had many opportunities in my career to interview her, but when the opportunity arises to chop it up with an artist who has sold over 175 million records worldwide, then it's my pleasure.

 

With her new album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel almost complete, it's an interesting time to catch up with MC.

 

Uptown at BET's "106 & Park," Mariah was premiering her new video for her remix of "Obsessed," featuring Gucci Mane, one of the hottest MCs in the game. Not enough is said about Carey's ear for hip-hop. Don't forget that she was the artist who collaborated with rappers like Jay-Z, ODB, Nas and the Lox early on in their careers. Gucci Mane is another great choice.

 

It's not difficult to know when Mariah is in the building. You may not see her at first, but you'll definitely see her entourage. The girl doesn't roll light, but that's just another reason to love her. After all, she is Mariah Carey.

 

As we walked in, Mariah was looking glam, surrounded by a team of stylists and make up artists getting her ready for the interview. Nick, my producer, set up the shot and we were away. We spoke in detail about the new album, her musical direction and progression from the last album.

 

For Memoirs MC worked with several producers for the first time (including Timbaland and The-Dream) and old friends like Jermaine Dupri.

 

We got to the bottom of the big question: Is the video for "Obsessed" directed at anyone in particular? Turns out she was more inspired by a family member than anybody else.

 

But perhaps the most insightful moment of the entire interview came when we were speaking about how Mariah dressed up in disguise on the shoot for "Obsessed." With her hair tied back and wearing a hoodie and a fake beard, the unrecognizable Mariah actually braved it alone for the first time in years as she walked around New York sans bodyguard. So when I asked her what she would do if she could be totally anonymous for a day, I was genuinely taken aback by her answer. She said "I'd like to make friends." It might sound strange but if you think about it, Mariah has been a star since her teens. Ever since she first broke into the scene, Mariah has been Mariah Carey: Superstar. With that immense talent comes the fact that she will never know if people speak to her because she's a nice girl or because she's a star. I didn't feel sorry for her when she said it, but I did acknowledge that it was an incredibly honest answer from a woman who just happens to be one of the biggest stars in the world.

No clip is worse then than those two messes Alone and EOM :sofunny:. But yes that remix video is awful, as is the regular video. :sick:

 

And the whistle note triumphs over all. :innocent:

hmm well yeah that is sad, but I also think she could easily scare people off with her attitude! even if it's to protect herself! I dunno about Mariahs family, but Cëline was very lucky to relay on such a strong basis and even though she didn't have many friends growing up, she managed to make some later in life.

You don't count that lovely little chopped up live clip of EOM as a video? :P And yes that remix of EOM is awful. :sick:

 

And as for her making friends, it was a lot harder for her to do that growing up. Celine had a stable family and environment, Mariah didn't really have that. Her parents were divorced, her sister was a prostitute on the street, she, her sister and her brother were mocked and had horrible things done to them because they were mixed face. She has some close friends now but I think she'd like to just be able to walk down to the bar and chat it up with some people, but because she's a big star and she gives off a different vibe than Celine, it might be harder.

If she pays for them herself (which I think she sometimes does) then sure...

Mariah clearly admits that IDJ didn't have enough money to pay for the Obsessed video the way she wanted it to be here:

 

http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/421215/mari...html#id=1616922

 

What a f***** up company... If they don't have money for a music video, how will they pay for the promo? Mariah should leave them for the next album...

 

If she leaves IDJ it's gonna be a tough choice for a new record company. I would've said do a LiveNation deal, but that'd mean she would have to tour for every album and I doubt she is up for that. But yeah I don't think IDJ cares about her much anymore.
