Ok let’s face it, pretty much all the hype about Mariah (as mentioned in the previous post) is centered on her “dramatic” weight loss. “Oh yea and she released an album..but what about her weight loss how did she do it?” The same things goes for Madonna. I feel like it always has to be mentioned how “great” Madonna looks for her age. Obviously when people say great they really mean skinny…I mean, let’s just call it what it is. Truth is, Mariah’s publicist was smart… and so was Madonna’s. America LOVES a good weight loss story. And they really LOVE it when “fat” celebrities get skinny or when the normal ones get a little bit skinnier. Mariah’s sexy new bod is a perfect match for her new album and Madonna’s hot youthful physical helps maintain the illusion that anyone can be skinny and “hot” at any age. Don’t be fooled by the hype, the media knows what sells-thin. And the more you keep buying the more broke you may start to feel. If you like the music, great! But don’t for a second be fooled into thinking that your money gets you only a CD it’s also paying for your desire to be thin.
Great blog! I was actually going to post on this exact same idea–I can’t believe all we’re talking about is her weight. Plus, how many times does she have to lose the same 20 lbs before ppl stop trying her diets?!
I was confused about all of mariah’s weight loss hype. I don’t think it was needed. I bought the cd not cuz she lost weight, but because she is the most amazing singer ever!!! Props to Mariah! Its a great album and i think everyone should buy it.
I agree with the whole Mariah thing but I have to admit it’s a lil reach to assume people think “thin” when they say madonna looks good for her age. Despite how much photo shop and digital manipulation is done, when I say that I mean she doesn’t look like what a lot of 50 year olds do. Have you seen her video? I’m thinking she looks great because who dances with JT at 50 years old. She looks like she’s in her 30’s. So in conclusion i think thats a bit of a stretch sounds like your trying to fill up space.
