June 18, 200916 yr Obsessed. EASILY. Migrate is way overrated and the autotune/vocoder really doesn't add to the song like it does on Obsessed.
June 18, 200916 yr Thought I'd add a poll. For me, it's EASILY "Migrate". I know she's had a long career and I've only properly been through the last era, but I think "Migrate" is my favourite Mariah song. :wub: I think "Obsessed" has the better lyrics but overall "Migrate" is the better package. I can't help but feel "Obsessed" is lacking a rap or something like a middle 8 to replace the second "Napoleon Complex" bit.
June 19, 200916 yr Hmmm, I don't think it's a fair question really! Firstly, because only Obsessed will have a "full package" so to speak, i.e it'll have a video, live performances gallore, potential chance at #1, loads of publicity, potential award nominations etc. Whereas Migrate has none of the above and is only an album track. Also, because we've had Migrate a lot longer so it's had more of an opportunity to become a 'fan favourite', likewise some may say Obsessed because it's got the novelty of being a brand new Mariah single. Although, right now I would say Obsessed. I love Migrate (obviously!) but it's a pretty run-of-the-mill clubbing track, and whilst that's great and all, I like the lyrics to be a little more relateable and to mean a bit more. ^_^
July 27, 200915 yr Glad to see Obsessed has taken this. Listening to Migrate again now and it really is a little too messy to be a great song.
August 27, 200915 yr I'm really surprised at Obsessed doing so well :o It's such a lacklusture song imo, it has the potential to be good, but just falls flat and is unremarkable. "Migrate", on the other hand, is pretty epic. Has all the necessary factors to elevate it from standard club-esque track to total club banger. Plus T-Pain is on it, which automatically makes it awesome :wub: Edited August 27, 200915 yr by Kiseki
August 27, 200915 yr It's not a banger though, it's midtempo, and the fact that she whispers like it was still 2003 prevents it from being hard hitting.
