Signed copies (105,521) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

JLo is out at the Bronx singing CDs at target. Bless her heart her 300m followers weren’t enough, but lol MC and Ariana should totally start selling signed copies to maximize the sales. Side note Taylor Swift has been revealing new bonus tracks here and there and her fans are kinda tired at this point of her capitalizing of them. She sold atleast 3 different versions of Midnights, then all the rereleases and now the new album looks like will have different versions too.

Sorry guys. Bad fan. Impostor syndrome (105,520) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Hahah I get your feelings and I too will be happy with a top 5 top 10 so that it positions Mariah really well for her next release but if it goes to #1, that'll be icing on the cake. I know it's a polarizing song, but a #1 is a #1 haha. I mean 4 of Mariah's #1s have been about her wanting to have sex lol (Honey, Fantasy, My All and TMB), 5th too if you count Emotions. The last collab she had was literally about having Big D Energy. Lol so I'll take whatever win we can have.

Let's get it to number one (105,519) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Yus US Lambs please push this song hard. Arianators are apparently going hard with promo calling the biggest radio stations to play the song. It was played on Z100 which is huge. The Arianators want it to hit #1 so Ariana can have the gift of going #1 side by side with her idol. There have been people who listened to it the first time and didn't like it only to later like it upon further listens, so if it's played on radio and all it'll reach masses.

"Mariah sounds too loud on the remix" (105,517) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

People are so dumb they literally said Mariah was showing off her vocals on purpose to sabotage Ariana. As if it's not Ariana's song and I'm sure Ariana discussed with Mariah what she wanted and Mariah delivered accordingly. This isn't like it was a Mariah song and Ariana had no say in it. Apparently Mariah's "loud" vocals sound really great when played in clubs because someone mentioned the remix was played in a club they went to. So Mariah knew exactly what she's was doing. Others saying Mariah sounds AI generated, like ok so she sounds great? People hate it when she whispers, people hate it when she's belting. People hate it when she doesn't sound great, people hate it when she does sound great.

MV (105,505) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Yall so looks like a MV isn't ready. Kris replied to a fan saying he isn't aware of any MV made. Which if true makes me sad. I was hoping they had one to promote. If there isn't I don't think they'd make one now because either ways Ariana's album comes in weeks.

Billboard (105,502) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Is it true? That fans got a billboard to promote YAR?

Yes, and? (105,497) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Eric, what's your thought on the song?

MV Snippet (105,496) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Alright y'all check out this new promo snippet. Thank me later.

New short clip (105,488) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

MCXAR shared this little video to promote the single. They look super cute together. No one can tell me Mariah isn't genuinely affectionate towards Ariana after seeing this. Not to mention MC thanked Ari for having her on the remix. Such a gracious queen.

New photos (105,485) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Did y'all see these new photos? Mariah looks stunning. Especially the second one where she's looking straight at the camera.

Time of release UK (105,484) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Hahah, I don't know, I'm honestly baffled, because I'm like what does this even mean? It sounds good, but I never had trouble understanding what she's meaning to say haha. But honestly, I'm glad Mariah went full voice instead of whispering with Ariana, because it gives a good contrast. I really hope they have a MV ready. I think Taylor is about to announce her first single, ugh, can she stop for a bit to let others shine haha? And Beyoncé is holding strong with Texas Hold 'Em. So it's gonna be a tough battle.

Time of release UK (105,481) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

First of all I nearly passed out when Mariah sang on the part where the lyrics are "why do you care whose D I ride" lmao. I think she definitely adds to the songs contrasting Ariana's breathy vocals, with her chesty vocals, she really is saying it with her chest. Also her whistle intro is so powerful and strong. But yes on first listen am I blown away? No unfortunately probably because I wasn't instantly taken by the original either haha but I think it'll take a few listens. Mariah's singing reminded me of her Morales remixes. I hope to see some great promo for this I know Ariana's team will do that but Mariah's team also needs to be proactive and not reactive. We should keep supporting because this could be the easiest way to get a top 10. Side not, is it just me or does Mariah's verse doesn't make much sense to my, like the lyrics? First time it ever happened to me on a Mariah song haha. Or maybe I'm just not understanding how it fits?

Eyes (105,457) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Is the "eye" thing a clue for something? The cover of the single only has their eyes. And the photo of Ariana and Mariah together looks like Mariah is deliberately angled so that one of her eyes and one of Ariana's are almost joined together haha. Side note, their makeup too is pretty synchronized with the bronzed skin, big lashes and it looks like they're wearing the exact same lipstick. Their hair too looks the exact same shade haha.

Yus always happy to have a partner to be giddy over MC. None of my friends or family are "lambs", they like her songs here and there but not a lamb so that's why MCA is my outlet haha. I am seeing posts about how Mariah's team is super into pushing this song and Ariana's team on board. With their combined budget I do hope they give it their all. Ariana posted a photo wearing a dress with the Butterfly cover photo, and MC retweeted it with a "she ate". 4 more hours. I have work tomorrow so I probably won't be able to hear it tonight but first thing tomorrow morning I'm excited to see the reactions.

Ok we must be brain twins because that's literally what I posted a few posts down. I have a feeling it's WBT included somehow because of that leaked snippet of Ariana singing the lyrics to WBT over a different beat, then the rumors about Mariah reworking one of her famous #1's and then finally Mariah posting on TikTok singing WBT just a few hours after Ariana announced the remix.

Yus. Also all things aside this will be one of her more significant collaborations. Most of her collaborations in recent times are with artists who are new or up and coming. This is with someone who is well established. I hope both their teams push it and give it a fair chance. The fact that a video is likely already made is promising enough. Ariana has great video concepts (aka Thank You, Next) and great visuals too so I'm excited to see what they came up with.

True, musically it's more Gaga and Madonna, but I think we'll be surprised. Mariah doesn't commit to projects she's not feeling. She must have seen potential in order to do it. And like you said we forget Mariah has been doing dance remixes with Morales and others since the 90s. While I understand some Ariantors may have wanted others, I think a lot of them will support because Ariana is so inspired by Mariah and this is her dream come true.

Not happy (105,437) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I'm with you on that boat, it says "Ariana Grande with Mariah Carey", not Ariana Grande featuring Mariah Carey. So the credit will be 50-50, also I saw this morning that people are saying the remix will be an old fashioned remix which is completely reworked and that Mariah will have writing and producing credits and a verse of her own. Last but not the least guys this might be one of our last chances to get that #1 or at least get a successful song that leads to great promo for her next album, let's support our girl. The Arianators are gearing up so we should do the same. We've been asking Mariah to step out of her comfort zone and to give us something upbeat, and she's finally doing it.

I am also not a huge fan of the song really but chances are it'll be a reworked remix. Now about Mariah and Ariana not liking each other, my opinion is it's not true. Ariana clearly idolizes Mariah and this isn't new. Even in her documentary she gets emotional when Mariah's team contacts her to be on her video. And as for Mariah, I feel like she doesn't really bother to mingle with people she doesn't care for. In the beginning she probably wasn't pleased because of the blatant "next Mariah" label that was pushed for Ariana's launch. But over the years I think that changed. Lastly in my opinion at this point everything is fair game, the music industry is no longer the same, you gotta play the game so if Mariah is using her connections to gain newer audience, then why not? In fact it's smart right before the next album. It's smart business move. Also I don't know how true this is but I saw somewhere that it's actually the opposite and because Ariana got a lot of recent backlash for getting with Ethan Slater she lost goodwill and her single didn't do well (despite being #1) so they're bringing on Mariah to boost Ariana too. Mariah still has a lot of pull whenever Ariana and Mariah are mentioned together it does lead to a lot of publicity so I think it is benefitting them both. Why else would Ariana push this so hard with the physical CDs, the coordinated profile picture change, a rumored live performance?

Ariana Instagram (105,419) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

We must be clowning haha. I mean that's the album cover. Ariana said there'll be many album covers but would she really put Mariah on the cover of her album? I don't think so but I really can't get over how it does feel like Mariah eventhough it's just the back of the head and she hardly ever does that hair haha.

AG + MC = remix #1 (105,416) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I heard the rumor of that photo being Mariah after the announcement and now I can't unsee it. When I saw it before I didn't think much of it I just thought it's Ariana leaning on herself as a metaphor of her just relying on herself.
