Memoirs of an Imperfect God

Filed under Music on September 22nd, 2009

We’ve been told that “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” is Mariah Carey’s attempt to deliver an album that brings back her 90s sound. The comparisons between her presence at the start of her career and the current-day personality she has become have even surpassed the music alone—her appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show took everyone [...]

Back in the day, when she was “rising to fame,” I thought she looked way too much like Britney in some of her videos, and since I am [...]
