Mariah Carey's "Obsessed" is already floundering in its second week on the Hot 100, dipping to No. 20 this week after debuting at a not-great-for-her No. 11 seven days ago. Which is why I guess the Gucci Mane remix and a new cut of the track's Brett Ratner-directed video have been rush-released.
The new clip ditches much of the "Mariah as a man stalking Mariah as a pop star" plot in favor of Mimi reclining awkwardly on a table and lip-syncing; Gucci Mane was apparently just told to stand around and contribute the ability to wave a champagne bottle around, a kinda-awful verse, and a lot of "hooo"-ing while Mariah is trying to sing. I didn't so much mind "Obsessed" in its original form, but this remix was making me check the "time elapsed" counter on the embedded video from about the :53 point on.
So, uh... odds on when the next release-delay announcement will happen? My guess is today at around 5 p.m., just to bury the bad news.
