Sup folks?!? Alright I have one question for you, just one....why are you....all up....in my George Foreman? LOL!!! No, let me get to my review.
Upon first listen, I knew it was a hot record. I was in a rush to get to work, so it really didn't marinate in good. I synced the rip to my mp3 player and ran to work. I listened to the song for two hours straight and I could tell it was catchy and a club-banger. Soon after that it started to hit me how hot the song was. At first, I was thrown off because it's so different for Mariah. The auto-tune and subdued vocals took a bit of getting used to, but NOT much.
The Lyrics are the best part of the song, the clever, genius and wittyness kills Candy dead in his tracks. She cut this dude up and down, left and right, and it was a long time coming. Well deserved. The "napoleon complex" and "bathing in windex" lines take the cake for me. Not to mention the spoken line that starts the song off from the movie - Mean Girls - "And I was like, why are you so Obsessed with me?" That took the song to the next level.
The melody is dark and anthemy, the bass booms and Mariah's vocals ride it all quite well. After hearing the song in high quality, it was taken to the next level where I knew this is most likely Mariah's 19th #1 hit.
Finally, my favorite part of the song at the very end, when Mariah belts, "He's all up in my George Foreman!", it's all about that line. I laughed so hard the first time I released she said that. Overall, everything comes together quite well in this new formula and I'm left satisfied. MC, Dream, and Tricky did their thing. She came hard, don't mess with MC.
I give this song a 9.5/10.

Press Release: New Album Memoirs Drops August 25th
Mariah Carey Puts Finishing Touches on Her New Album, MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, for August 25th Release
"OBSESSED," FIRST NEW SINGLE PICK - GOES TO RADIO ON JUNE 16th - WRITTEN & PRODUCED BY MARIAH, THE-DREAM AND TRICKY STEWART
"The 1st single from my new album MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL is called 'Obsessed' and will be at radio next Tuesday. I'm a lil' exc ... Seriously, this is one of my favorite songs ever. I love the whole album. I'm completely immersed in it. I can't wait for you to hear it. LY"
- Mariah Carey, on Twitter
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.
MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, the 12th studio album of Mariah's career, is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her RIAA platinum-selling album E=MC² (released April 15, 2008), and her worldwide 10 million selling The Emancipation Of Mimi (released April 12, 2005). Both were Soundscan #1 debut albums that made chart history for Mariah in the U.S. and numerous territories around the globe.
The Emancipation Of Mimi generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), two #1 singles, and countless more honors during its 18-month chart stay. The album debuted at #1 on first week sales of 404,000 copies, Mariah's highest first week sales total (until E=MC²). Soundscan's biggest-selling album of 2005, Mimi featured "We Belong Together" (Grammy winner for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song) and "Don't Forget About Us," Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's.
Three years later, E=MC² debuted at #1 on first week sales of 463,000 copies, which now stands as the highest first week sales total of Mariah's career. The album's success brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to more than 160 million worldwide, distancing her even further from the pack as the top-selling female recording artist in history.
E=MC² spun off four singles: "Touch My Body," "Bye Bye," "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time," and "I Stay In Love." Of these, "Touch My Body" made history when it became Mariah's 18th #1 Hot 100 hit, thus surpassing Elvis Presley. "Touch My Body"'s two weeks at the top also marked Mariah's 78th and 79th cumulative career weeks at #1, which tied Elvis' long-standing all-time high of 79 weeks at #1, as calculated in Billboard.com. At the same time, Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 50 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits.
