She’s a man, baby! We knew Mariah had a killer hair and makeup crew — when does she not look flawless? — but extra accolades for turning the curvilicious diva into her nemesis, Eminem, for her upcoming “Obsessed” video. I like Mariah with a sense of humor, and I love the idea of her turning the tables on the king of celebrity-mocking videos. Here’s to hoping Bruno shows up …
What do you think, Music Mixers? Are you excited to see Mariah in her most challenging role since Glitter?

Mariah is one, if not the, greatest female singer of all time. I love Mariah’s sense of humor and we got to see that in the “Touch My Body” video. Here is to her reaching her 19th number one single.
She loves eminem
I love love it, This woman has a sense of humor! Can’t wait to see the video.
It’s important to remember that, unlike Mr. Mathers, Mariah has a sense of humor, hence the lyric in ‘Obsessed’ “‘You’re a mom and pop/I’m a corporation.’ As always, Mariah rules! I agree, Jennifer, nice to see her firing back at Slim(which she also did on ‘Clown’ from 2002′s ‘Charmbraclet’) but in her own unique way! Go Mimi! Can’t wait for ‘Memoirs’ to come out August 25th!
Also looks like Fred Durst circa 1999
Yeah, she does look more like Fred Durst than Eminem. But I personally think it’s lame that she’s stooping to his level. Em is someone you ignore, someone that you don’t allow to get to you. Because that’s EXACTLY what he wants, for you to react and respond to him so he can get more press and sell more records. Hasn’t anyone figured out his game by now? Cause I sure have.
I thought it was some male model when I saw a picture yesterday. Mariah is even cute as a guy! Note to all you miserable so called writers. You guys need to seriously get over Glitter. It was a loooong time ago and she has proven she can act with Wisegirls, Tennessee and Precious which won as best film at Sundance! Let it go already. Talk about being obsessed! I can understand why she wrote this song because the press is obsessed with trying to make her look bad and always bringing up the past. I love that she is hitting back at that white trash loser Eminem. Way to go Mimi!
I just wanted to point out Mariah has never came out and said who the song is about. Plus like the other poster said she looks nothing like Eminem in this picture. People and the press just assumed it’s about him.
She shouldn’t have even bothered with a response. It’s completely beneath her.
wow, this is really making me laugh. love mariah for this. who says she can’t make ppl laugh? haha. cant wait for the video
Brilliant that she has the guts and humor to do that.
She hopefully realizes that she is opening a Pandora’s box.
OH YEAH CUZ EMINEM HAS A BEARD RIGHT?!!!?
oh yeah, c’mon man, Em. really has a beard! yeah. LMFAO! man she is just jelous couse she cant have him back!
Mom and Pop??? In the Last 10 Years no one Has sold More Records Than Eminem..Nobodey..Lets Compare Movies 8 Mile Made Millions, Glitter was one of The Worst Movies of All Time..
Eminem is 1000000 More Talented Than Maria she Dosent even Write her own Music
