Rap-Up.com || Mariah Carey’s ‘Butterfly’: Then & Now

Twelve years after releasing her classic Butterfly album, Mariah Carey spreads her wings and flies again in this new photo for her 12th studio album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. The packaging will feature Mariah recreating artwork from her past 11 albums. Which do you prefer, Mariah circa 1997 or 2009?

I will never for the life of me be able to understand why she dresses so provocatively all the time. You can be classy and sexy at the same time without lookin like a slut smdh.

She looks great. I wish people with negative comments would NOT comment. If you don’t like her or her body why do you feel the need to comment? dumb fucks.

ok she does look like she’s wearing the same thing with twice the cup size. sure she looks a little more plastique than before. Tanning IS NOT you friend if you know anything about skin cancer not that you can tell in this lighting. but flabby? where does that come from? old or new, hot or not flabby is not something I could use to describe MC.
I do think MC is incredibly hot always have but I’ve never thought of her as slutty much less ‘typically slutty’. This outfit isn’t that bad. Sure it looked better when she was small enough to fit inside of it properly but still it’s not that slutty.

I am loving the concept of the album artwork. Believe it or not, I think her face looks prettier in the newer rendition of the Butterfly promo. But I know her boobs aren’t THAT BIG.
