Nick Cannon: “‘Obsessed’ is about ME!”

Wednesday night’s episode of “America’s Got Talent” hosted by Nick Cannon featured his wife, Mariah Carey performing her new single “Obsessed.” Nick made it a point to claim that the song was written about him, and not anyone else who may feel salty about the track.

“I don’t care what nobody say, that song is about me, because I am obsessed with this beautiful girl right here,” Cannon said on the show after Carey performed. He went on to say, “This beautiful woman next to me has more #1 hit singles than any single artist in the world.”

Clearly it was an attempt to diffuse some of the tension surrounding the couple since the release of Eminem’s diss track, “The Warning.” We’ll see how it goes over with the general public soon enough.

Death of Auto-Tune Continues…

Live from the Death of Auto-Tune Warfront…

It seems Trey Songz was right when he said Jay-Z started something; Trey did his own version to the song with his Death of Kellz, a diss track to R. Kelly after hearing Kellz auto-tuned track. Other artists have also voiced their displeasure:

On the Wyclef ft Nick Cannon parody song, Mr. Autotune, Wyclef sings “I’m Mister Auto-Tune/if you sing off key/for a small fee I can make you a celebrity.” Listen to Mr. Autotune

Fans of music have also joined the war, with The DOA Team and PAAT (People Against Auto-Tune) Coalition creating a website to fight the cause. They state they have nothing against the actual Auto-Tune technology but would like the sound in Hip-Hop and R&B to go away. here’s the DOA website

Let’s see if their demands are meant.

We will continue to follow developments on the War on Auto-Tune.
