OBSESSED: Mariah's new song

First came the emancipation, then came energy and power, and now comes MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, the new album by international superstar Mariah Carey, scheduled to arrive on August 25th. The first new single pick from MEMOIRS is "Obsessed," which blasts out to radio today, Tuesday, June 16th. The video for "Obsessed" will be directed by Brett Ratner. "Obsessed" was written and produced by Mariah, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, who are responsible for the majority of tracks on the new album. MEMOIRS was executive-produced by Antonio "L.A." Reid.

The song, Obsessed is targeting Eminem, who recently started a beef with Carey and her husband Nick Cannon with the Relapse song "Bagpipes From Baghdad. "I was like, why are you so obsessed with me?" Carey asks before the song even begins.In "Bagpipes," Eminem rapped, "Mariah, what ever happened to us, why did we have to break up… Nick Cannon better back the f**k up. I'm not playing, I want her back, you punk." Mariah's response? "You're delusional, boy, you're losing your mind," Carey sings over choppy synths, with a dash of Auto-Tune dabbed on her voice. "It must be weed, it must be the E… Why are you so obsessed with me? Lying that you're sexing me." Carey adds some more barbs, like "Telling the world how much you miss me, but we never were so why you trippin' " and provoking the rapper with "You're a mom & pop, I'm a corporation. I'm a press conference, you're a conversation." The biting mid-tempo track is already more musically and lyrically engrossing than E=MC2's singles.

Get ready for the summer of MC!

Are you a Gold Digger?

Yesterday I read an interesting article on The Star paper about Gold Diggers. It raises a lot thoughts and tips too. Does love still matter in the 21st century? After all, marrying rich is perhaps the best way to beat recession.

There's even a song called Gold Digger by Kanye West.

How to spot a Gold Digger?

1. She wants to marry. Now. A gold digger will push for marriage fast so that she won't lose out on the opportunity with Mr. Rich.

2. She gives love. Quickly.

3. She plays the good role of a good wife. Too soon. She cooks, cleans and washes. She doesn't nag him when he goes out with the guys. Why? So she can show him exactly what a great partner she will be.

4. She makes him pay for everything. ALWAYS. Pay for her dinner. Buy her the latest designer bag. Help out with her credit card bill, her daily needs and even accommodation rental. A gold digger will have no qualms asking him for financial favours. That's what he is for anyway, right?

Can money really buy love? And what happens when Mr. Rich decides to go for a younger and more attractive gold digger?


So, are you a gold digger? How good are you? Can you spot the correct Mr. Rich?


Or else, you will end up like in the movie Priceless whereby a young gold digger (Audrey Tautou) mistakenly woos a mild-mannered bartender (Elmaleh) thinking he's a wealthy man.






Haha...so gold diggers stay away from me... I'm not your Mr. Rich.


Go and target someone else.
