News Mariah Carey dresses like Eminem for "Obsessed" video

BornIntoThis · 07-01-2009, 03:47 PM

The three-way tussle pitting Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon against Eminem took another turn on Monday when Carey shot a video for her new single "Obsessed" — and dressed up like Em.

Carey filmed scenes for the clip at the Plaza Hotel in New York, where she plays a man in two different costumes: One finds her in a bellhop uniform, while the other has her in a giant gray hoodie, a doo-rag and a thick goatee — apart from the beard, she's dressed exactly like Eminem (and looks very bizarre).

Carey tweeted on Tuesday (June 30), "Check out my website to see a photo of the star of my new 'Obsessed' video! LYM!!" and In addition to the photo she posted, several other pictures from the shoot have emerged.

The video is directed by "Rush Hour" helmer Brett Ratner, who has also worked with Carey on her clips for "Touch My Body" and "Heartbreaker."

Mariah Carey's 'Obsessed' Video Shoot

"Obsessed" is the first single from Carey's upcoming album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which is set to hit stores on August 25. Though Carey doesn't mention Eminem's name specifically, there are a handful of lyrics that suggest that the song is a response to Em's Relapse track "Bagpipes From Baghdad," on which he raps about taking Carey back from her husband: "Nick Cannon better back the f--- up," Em warns the actor/musician on the track. "I'm not playing/ I want her back, you punk." (Carey has denied Eminem's claims that they dated for six months.)

On "Obsessed," Carey sings, "Why are you so obsessed with me/ Boy I wanna know/ Lying that you're sexing me/ When everybody knows/ It's clear that you're upset with me ... Why are you so obsessed with me? You're delusional/ Boy, you're losing your mind ... It must be the weed, it must be the E/ 'Cause you be poppin', you get it poppin'," which may be about Slim Shady's struggle with drugs.

When "Bagpipes" first leaked last month, Cannon fired back at Eminem in an angry blog post, before the rapper softened his disin a later interview with the BBC, defusing the tension. After admitting his lyrics were "harsh," Eminem said of Cannon, "I had no idea he was gonna take it like he took it. ... What I actually meant to say is, I wish them the best. That's what I meant to say. That's the whole message of the record."

Singer/songwriter The-Dream confirmed in a previous interview that the song is definitely directed at someone — but the "Dancing on the Moon" singer who, along with producing partner Tricky Stewart, helmed most of Carey's next project, would not confirm exactly who.

naw, Ems not gonna respond to this. he's getting all he wants from it right now. he never got to someone like this before... Christina Augilera made some songs to diss him, but she never put them on an album, let alone dedicated her first single to it.

they flipped out when one of Em's songs on his album leaked, and she responds by dedicating a first single to him? pretty sad... then in the video she's dressing like him and stuff?

Its all the free promotion he could want. When you're an asshole like Em, you make fun of people and laugh when they take it seriously. This is about as big as its ever gotten... just makes Mariah look like she's taking an L. If this is a hit, Em is just "controversial" again

Shit is pretty stupid, clearly the song is about Em, she dressed up like him, but whats with the beard? Maybe I'm lost but Em dont have a beard right? Did he ever? So first doing a single, your first single about him is lame, secondly the song and shit is weak, you know it was Nicks idea, do this, Em just came out, it creates a beef, buzz, hype around the song and her album by doing this, but if your gonna do it, do it, the whole beard shit makes it like wtf, its supposed to be Em, but whats with the beard? And does she ever say his name in the song? To me it seems like its a way to diss him, without officially dissing him, she can say its not him, he dont have a beard, but we all know its about him.

How many times do you gotta mention the beard?

g_u_s1 · 07-02-2009, 02:23 AM

^ lol
but i gotta wonder how would Em respond? Mariah fans would think he is obsessed with her if he responded, Em couldn't respond with a serious track because his fans would think he's wasting his time and energy plus he'd look kinda wack for responding in the first place

GMNRecordsCT3 · 07-02-2009, 09:10 AM

actually em can say a lot - his ALBUM was a hit and the song that he dissed mariah in was too controversial for the radio and wasnt intended to be a 'hit.'
she didnt kill anyone and didn't say anything new
