I think it is about individuality so I don't have a sense to tell someone they need a makeover. One example I would give is Mariah Carey. She has been the same for so long but I bet she is thinking, "If it ain't broke then don't fix it." She is dated but I love Mariah for that. -- Michelle Visage
I have a love/hate relationship with Amy Grant, but I do go back to her Christmas albums once in a while.

I would take her Christmas albums over Mariah Carey's or Destiny's Child's any day. -- Sufjan Stevens
