Fans Can’t Get Enough of Guillermo Rodriguez & Witney Carson’s Samba to Mariah Carey’s ‘Obsessed’ on ‘Dancing With the Stars’

Fans are drawn to Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson's samba performance to Mariah Carey's "Obsessed" on Dancing With the Stars. The duo competed in Dancing With the Stars season 35, with Guillermo becoming one of the show's shining stars. The performance took place during Mariah Carey night, with Carey sending a video message to the contestants and cheering them on from afar.

Guillermo and Witney dazzled the audience with their performance, which featured a samba routine set to Mariah's 2009 hit "Obsessed." The video of the performance garnered praise from fans, with many commenting on YouTube about the duo's vulnerability and enjoyment. However, the judges had a different opinion of the performance, with Carrie Inaba questioning the duo's joy and Bruno Tonioli criticizing Guillermo's technique.

Despite the low score of 13 out of 30, the team did not get eliminated and will return to the show the following week. "Obsessed" was part of Mariah's 2009 album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which saw her portray a male alter ego in the music video. The single peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Eminem responded to the song with his own track, "The Warning."
