What were the issues Whitney Houston faced?

It is difficult to say she encountered any unusual obstacles: any young person who decides to be a performer, as Whitney did (following in her mother's footsteps), has to accept the challenge of trying to break through and become famous. Whitney's fame did not occur immediately, but she persisted until she was successful. However, her obstacles came later, when she endured an abusive marriage and struggled with drug and alcohol addiction. Sadly, she was not able to overcome addiction, and it led to her death at the age of 48.

What is the first line of Hoobastank's song The Reason?

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

[Chorus]

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

That's why i need you to hear

[Chorus x4]

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

[Chorus]

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

Is Mariah Carey the guy in obsessed?

Ok here's the truth. Mariah claims that she was referring to the movie "Mean Girls" (which she is a huge fan of) the part where one of the girls say "Why are you so obsessed with me". That's where Mariah got the part in the beginning of her song where she goes "And I was like, why are you obsessed with me?" If you think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense. In case you haven't noticed, Mariah Carey is a superstar. Many people are truly obsessed with Mariah which could be another possible reason why she wrote Obsessed. The media however is saying the song is in response to Eminem's song "Bagpipes from Baghdad". The director of the video Obsessed probably should've realized that the video looked as if it were aiming Eminem.


Was is a coincidence? or was the song aimed at Eminem? There are many coincidences in this unforgiving world of ours. Perhaps this may be one of them. Or not?
