A Dangerous New Precedent Has Been Set

Posted: April 13th, 2005 | Author: | Filed under: music | 4 Comments »

I have steadily avoided giving my personal info to the iTunes Music Store, in hopes of not starting a music-buying avalanche. Well, until tonight. They finally broke me.

The Emancipation of Mimi

That’s right. My first ITMS purchase was “The Emancipation of Mimi” by my girl Mariah. They were offering the whole album plus two bonus tracks for $9.99. What am I gonna do? I’m not made of stone!

Dan called me from New York a few days ago to tell me that he had just seen a promo poster for Mariah’s new album. His exact words were “She looks exactly like Beyonce.” I think Beyonce be tryin’ to look like Mariah.

    thanks to Molly, we have this clarification:

    the literal translation is “little mama, how hot you are” the general sentiment is “baby, you’re so hot”

    walo, I couldn’t agree more!

    It’s only on the cover art of the album that mariah has those beyonce-like images, so we can easily overlook the similarities.

    DAMN RIGHT!!! Mariah is the ULTIMATE! And how dare the media think she’s copying Beyonce! I read an article in a magazine about the two of them, and they said Mariah was copying Beyonce with the wind machine!!! THE WIND MACHINE IS MARIAH’S THANG!!! HER THANG!! Stupid media! get your facts right before you discriminate!
