Warning: This video contains anxiety-inducing flashing lights. Just check out the look on Mariah Carey's face throughout the first half.

That said, no one is doubting the singer's impressive set of pipes, but—frighteningly jarring lighting and quick edits aside—did she actually utilize them on America's Got Talent last night?

Well, that's debatable.

Clearly appearing on the reality show as a favor to the host—her hubby, Nick Cannon—the songbird robotically rendered her new single, "Obsessed," better known as that track about Eminem. We would have expected her to belt out her best on his behalf. Instead, she seemed tentative and stiff, to say the least.

Eminem's Diss Has Mariah's Hubby All Atwitter

As far as Nick Cannon is concerned, Eminem is crying out for his own broken soul.

At least that's one of the proverb-invoking sentiments Mariah Carey's hubby twittered today in response to Slim Shady's latest dig at him and the missus.

"Quote of the day: 'Never argue with fools because from a distance people cant tell who is who,' " went the first tweet from Cannon, posted early Friday afternoon.

Good point, especially considering Eminem's latest diss track, "The Warning," was a response to Carey donning a hoodie and goatee to slam him in her video for the single "Obsessed."

But gentleman that he is, Cannon wasn't going to sit idly by while Eminem rapped about doin' the nasty with his wife—albeit back in the day, but still pretty graphic stuff—and then threatened to unleash nudie pics on the world (presumably starting with the poor, unsuspecting blogosphere).

Cannon's not going to kick Eminem's ass or anything, though. That's what the wrath of God is for.

Eminem Sends Mariah and Nick a Nasty, Nude-Pic-Threatening "Warning"

Maybe Mariah Carey should've just let sleeping dawgs lie.

Because Eminem has once again reached into his seemingly bottomless bag of rhyming celebrity disses and pulled out a new diatribe directed at Mr. and Mrs. Nick Cannon. And though he's never needed a good reason to drop names, this time he's firing back at Carey's Slim Shady-channeling video for her single "Obsession."

"I got the exact same tattoo that's on Nick's back, I'm obsessed now, oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee," raps Eminem on his new track "The Warning."

He goes on to gloat about the time Mariah "was wild 'n' out before Nick" and when he himself gave Carey "somethin' to smile about." And it gets grosser from there.

So why again is Eminem trying to shove his alleged sexual history down Cannon's throat?

America's Got...No Susan Boyle

America's Got Talent was pretty big last night. And if the show scores five more audiences just that same size...well, then it still won't be as big as the biggest Susan Boyle YouTube clip.

Boyle, the Britain's Got Talent runner-up who is expected to pop up sometime this summer on NBC's America's Got Talent counterpart, was only glimpsed—provided you didn't blink—in Tuesday's season premiere.

The show could've used a bit more Boyle. While it averaged a summer-best 11.3 million viewers, per preliminary Nielsen estimates, it fell 1.5 million viewers shy of last summer's opener.

Meanwhile, on YouTube, the top Boyle clip stood at 69.2 million views—and counting.

Rise 'n' Shine: Eminem & Nick Cannon Feud Gets Nasty...Literally

• The fun never stops. First, Eminem calls out Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey in a song, then the Nickelodeon dude gets all long-winded and threatening about it. Now, urine luck! The rapper has retaliated in the best way possible—with pee.

• Forget people (or bodyguards) wanting her body! Kate Gosselin thinks everyone wants her kooky haircut!

• Apparently, Jim Cramer didn't enjoy the friendly competition with Jon Stewart as much as it seemed when he appeared on his Comedy Central show. Unfortunately for him, telling us about it two months later makes him look like a pushover, no?

• Jay-Z asks for the moon and gets a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

• The world needs more pictures of Jason Bateman with his daughter. Seriously.

• Dear Michael Emerson: It's only been a few hours and our souls are already half-eaten. Could you please pass the salt? Love, Rise 'n' Shine
