Mariah Carey slammed for heavily photoshopped album art

Spot the difference! While she undoubtedly still looks fantastic after two children, Mariah Carey was a far cry from the heavily airbrushed image portrayed on her new album cover, in which she has not an inch to pinch in her revealing gold one-piece crocheted swimsuit
Mariah Carey was roaring and ready to go early Friday morning.
The songstress, known for her smooth ballad-belting vocals and curvaceous figure,appearedon stage at The Today Showin dramatic duds that could have been worn at an exclusive awards show.
The 44-year-old singer donned a glittering black gown with a plunging neckline, a single long black glove, diamond jewelry and black high heels for the live performance.
Her golden blonde hair was kept relatively simple with loose wind-blown waves and her make-up included brown smoky eyes paired with a neutral pink lip.
The singer performedclassic hit Touch My Body as well as new song You Don't Know What To Do.With 10 American Music Awards and five Grammys under her belt, Mariah's new album is likely to be a big success.
Fans of the songstress can look forward tofeatured collaborations with other R'n'B artists including R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige, and Nas.
However, fans and critics alike can't help but notice just how different Mariah looks in real life compared to the heavily airbrushed image she's portraying on the cover of her upcoming 14th album, which debuts on May 27th and is titled Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse.
Heavy-handed approach: The artwork for the single shows Carey looking noticeably slimmer as she dons a bronze-hued bandeau-style bikini top with a matching sarong and featuring long blonde mermaid-inspired locks, her face also strongly retouched, shaving years off her
The cover shot sees the star standing in a gold one-piece crocheted swimsuit, looking some 20 years younger both in the body and the face, while the first song off the album, titled Thirsty, also sees the star in a state of undress, with the same heavy-handed measures taken to ensure she's looking her best no matter how unrealistic.
The singer has said of the album,'I've kept this story private for so long, but because this album is a reflection of some of the peaks and valleys that have made me who I am today, I've decided to share it with those of you who actually care and have been there for me through it all.
She adds, 'I've been through a lot, but I've always known me. I am Mariah'.
