You'll have to leave it on and paint a primer over it. If the wallpaper seams are showing thru then put a light coating of mud over just the seams sand and reapply another coat of primer. Then paint tile or whatever you want to do.
U can use hot water in a spray bottle
I agree with Sharon. I normally don't advise painting wallpaper, but in your case I say to clean it prime it with Kilz primer then paint.
Hi Garynsharon,
It sounds like you need a "tiger" or scoring tool to make lines in the wallpaper so that the steamer can get underneath the paper. Click on the link below to see if these steps help you. Wishing you the best.

Where you have tried to remove the paper you will need to skim coat with thin plaster ... it is not hard to do and will dry fast ... sand, prime all, including any remaining wallpaper then paint.
Use a wallpaper steamer. It is natural (no gross chemicals) and doesn't hurt your walls. The wallpaper will come right off than.
Scraping will probably mar your sheetrock. If it is that tight you can just lightly sand the edges of the old paper and paint over it, hang new paper, or finish it however you want.
