About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Mariah and rappers (59,738) (59,745) (59,748) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Next will be Tupac's hologram talking about how he got it on with Mariah's hologram. (Remember the Mariah holographic concerts? In case you forgot, this is what I meant.) (Friday 12 February 2016; 1:31)

Random (59,729) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Miss Carey what is this lipstick/gloss color? Pray tell. Why was this not the MAC lipstick instead of that glittery frost mess? Can we please get this for the main icons collection? And with gold packaging? Thank you. Much love. (Thursday 11 February 2016; 1:57)

Re: Mariah's personal friend Beyonce (59,725) (59,728) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Definitely wasn't Taylor. She released her album a good 5 months after Mariah released MIAM. Also weren't Mariah's demos leaked after the release of MIAM and fans thought it would be on her new #1's album? I could be mistaken but I don't think she intended to put them in her album, it wouldn't make sense to put it in a studio album rather than a compilation album. (Thursday 11 February 2016; 1:50)

Re: MTV Cribs ranked (59,714) (59,720) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They better double up the security then, because I would be right there next to you holding on that door knob for dear life. (Wednesday 10 February 2016; 12:22)

Re: Wendy Williams / Dr Phil (59,699) (59,707) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha so Wendy is now taking Mariah talk to other shows and not just her own? And we are still going to have to buy that she is not jealous of her? Or wants her life? I have got to watch this episode of Dr Phil. Ok wait, I wrote this in a rush and thought she went to Dr Phil's show. She still needs to calm down. (Tuesday 9 February 2016; 12:19)

Re: Sweet Sweet Fantasy (59,701) (59,706) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think it'll be the Vegas show set list. Mariah is not a fan of the set list. Plus do you think she will ever part with ILT and SIO if she had any control over the content? (Noo, never, no baby, no baby oohh. *never forget you style*) Haha. While I don't think it will be the Vegas set list, I think we can be pretty sure it'll be close to her other usual set lists. She really doesn't change up much. I hope we have a ANYNAF performance. Also "The Roof" and "Breakdown". Mariah isn't big on changes though. (Tuesday 9 February 2016; 12:16)

Re: MTV Cribs ranked (59,702) (59,705) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Man I know that house so well. I can navigate through it pretty easily. It's such an amazing place. Done so tastefully. (Tuesday 9 February 2016; 12:09)

Re: Superbowl halftime (59,693) (59,704) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha trust me Marissa, I too don't think it's a possibility but a fan can dream eh? You are right about the Superbowl performer, that the person has to put up a show, which includes dancing and pulling big performance. Sigh. The Honey-Heartbreaker remix would be great though, even if she uses it in some other show. (Tuesday 9 February 2016; 8:03)

Superbowl ideas (59,692) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I was thinking if Mariah was to headline the Superbowl, who would you want her to bring out and what songs would you like her to perform? I think as much as we love her ballads, making the whole show a ballad moment would bore people so we need some upbeat songs too. I don't know what I want yet (hence I want to hear other people's thoughts). But for now I guess I would love for her to bring out Jay-Z and Puffy and do a Heartbreaker-Honey remix mashup. And then bring out the Bieber and maybe do a WBT and "Sorry" mashup (since they are of the same theme). Or do a "Shake It off" and "Love Yourself" mashup (with a bit off, "My mama don't like you but she likes everyone, shake shake shake it off" haha, too much?). It would also be great for her to bring out a current female artist. Also spare me the "Mariah should never perform at the superbowl" or "Mariah is not super bowl's type" posts. It's just for fun darlings. (Monday 8 February 2016; 20:01)

Lord have mercy (59,684) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter My eyes. I can't. Is it even fair to be this beautiful? Like seriously leave something for the rest of us MC. Feeding in to my complex. (Monday 8 February 2016; 11:02)

Re: The gold dress (59,676) (59,683) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Does Stella do Mariah's make up?" Haha the shade (all caps), I can't. Stella is getting a beauty blender as a gift from me if she continues to remain non-blended in the contour department. I agree by the way, about the eye makeup. She looks way better with lesser makeup. (Monday 8 February 2016; 10:58)

Re: New look (59,673) (59,682) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes I feel like the brown hair would just change up her look a lot without having to make a major change. I also agree about the eyebrows. Sometimes they don't get it right. (Monday 8 February 2016; 10:56)

Article: What wedding dress will Mariah Carey wear? (59,674) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh Lord, the second and third dresses are divine. I can picture Mariah looking like a goddess that she is in both of them. She can go for the Acra one for the main ceremony and then change into the Lhuillier one for the reception. Plus no straight hair, we want big voluminous curls dahlin'. (Monday 8 February 2016; 6:06)

Re: New look (59,650) (59,654) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I say go for the Daydream warm brown hair with the softest highlights. It looks gorgeous on her. I feel darker hair makes her look more youthful and makes her skin pop more. It'll be a good refreshing change. (Sunday 7 February 2016; 5:43)

New wig (59,645) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lord yes. This new wig is so much better than the old one which was really bad. This looks closer to her real hair and this dress is also better than the previous opening number. (Saturday 6 February 2016; 21:09)

The pink dress (59,633) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So turns out Mariah/Stella wasn't trolling us when they wrote they are waiting for the pink dress. They probably meant this pink dress. It's a beautiful dress and Mariah again looks like the TEOM era, but I wish she'd keep this for a red carpet event. It's a little too simple to be a concert costume, especially a Vegas concert costume, where things are supposed to glitter and shine and be over the top. If Mariah would wear this to a red carpet, man she'd look gorgeous. (Saturday 6 February 2016; 11:24)

Re: This (59,621) (59,627) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I would also like this sailor outfit to make a return when she performs "Honey". It's cute as fudge. (Saturday 6 February 2016; 4:12)

Re: Article: Wendy Williams: Mariah won't make it down the aisle (59,618) (59,626) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter For Wendy's sake I hope she doesn't go ahead and make a bet that she will eat crow like she did with Kim and Kanye haha. I think the bet was something like she will eat crow if Kim and Kanye actually walk down the aisle or if their marriage lasts longer than a certain period she mentioned (I forgot which it was, Lee TS would you help me out?). And then when she lost the bet she had to actually eat crow on her show which was hilarious. So yes, she is very close to betting the same for Mariah and I'll basically have a "on the bathroom floor" moment if Ms Williams is left to devour another crow. (Saturday 6 February 2016; 4:02)

Re: Jermaine (59,619) (59,625) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lee dahlin' I wasn't going off at your post, in fact I found yours to be quite well balanced, logical and neutral. My post was more of a defense for JD because I think a lot of time we forget that he was out in the front, shielding Mariah when fans were basically throwing tomatoes at him and dragging him through mud for the delays. I too am not a fan of Mariah hiring close friends as managers (that includes Randy Jackson) and while JD is a great producer, he was not cut out to manage someone as big as Mariah. Haha the poor guy basically broke down and said "go ask Mariah why the album is being delayed" after being verbally abused and bruised by everyone calling him a leech. But he always told it how it is to Mariah and even Mariah admitted that. So yes definitely a bad decision to hire him as a manager but losing him as a friend and collaborator is quite a sad loss. He pushed Mariah to belt her heart out in WBT when she wanted to sing-rap the whole thing. I feel like he was one of the last people to genuinely care about her and not like the other who just took and took from her. He seemed to care and he gave back to her too in the form of beautiful collaborations between eh too. I am not saying Mariah "needs" him because no she doesn't. She can get others to write with but I just feel that they understand each other so well musically, and both of them admits it. Why I am still defending JD even though I went off on L A for chalking Mariah up as a legacy artist is because I feel like he might be upset that he was basically thrown out of her inner circle after having to take hits for his friend but L A on the other hand had Mariah running back to him and trusting him with her career and the first interview he gives after getting her back he blatantly talks about how she is past her sell date and should resort to singing her back catalog and covers only. Haha me defending JD is probably how people defending Walter feel. With JD, it's just that she was making the type of music she loved. But oh well, like you mentioned he now seems to be in the same deep well with Walter, Randy Jackson. If JD meant Mariah is done then I am sad that it has come to that but like I said Mariah's win or defeat depends solely on Mariah. A lot of people might now call me out as being a "goat" (not you Lee) but I am just saying what I think. I am and will always be a lamb but this is one of Mariah's lost friendships that I will genuinely feel bad about. (Saturday 6 February 2016; 3:53)

Re: MC sings with the interviewer (59,612) (59,616) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Reluctant or not, the woman sang. She let him have his moment, which for a fan is a dream come true. She let him lead the song and then joined in parts. If Mariah would sing one line to me personally, I would faint right there or get a serious case of shivers. Can we blame her for being reluctant? This woman is written off every time she misses one note (and that too when even her misses are better that most peoples best). She can give days of great vocals and we won't get one article but the day she has a bad moment, headlines spring out like mushrooms. So no I don't blame her for usually being reluctant to sing on spot because people have hammered her so much about her voice that she seems to doubt it herself when she is put on spot. The only complain I have of her interviews is that she gets quite stiff, as in her body gets stiff during interviews. I wish she was more relaxed like she was just a few years back.

Jermaine (59,611) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What's with all the meltdown over Jermaine. I didn't hear the podcast but judging from the gist, I am assuming he was annoyed about the question or he just didn't want to make a comment about her. As for her making new music, isn't it true that Mariah's kids now are her primary focus, and now more than ever because she is divorced and probably has to put in twice the effort to cushion the blow for Roc and Roe? At least he isn't going around painting Mariah as a legacy artist like L A Reid did even recently on the Wendy show. When asked about how he feels when older artists wants to put out new music and say "let me play my new song for you guys", "that's the time to go get the popcorn". This is the man Mariah went to in hopes of getting her career back on track. If Jermaine is a little salty, it's slightly understandable because after basically being given up as the sacrificial lamb during the MIAM era (where the delays were not his fault yet the lambs tore him down for it bringing up stuff like how he is bankrupt and leeching off Mariah and saying a lot of crap) he was subsequently dropped from Mariah's team. Then Mariah went to L A and I think it's known that L A and Jermaine don't gel well together. The songs he were responsible for on that album was great and I don't think they sound dated. If MILG was sung by Beyonce or Adele, it would be on the top of the charts by now, sitting there for weeks straight. YDKWTD would have been a huge summer song if it was given the right treatment. "Supernatural" is probably the only song that sounds a bit dated but Mariah wrote it for her twins. Even his last song with MC before MIAM, the H.A.T.E.U remix was fire. I don't regret saying that I do want her to work with Jermaine in addition to her working with new fresh producers. Because they understand each other musically. As for whether Mariah can make a big comeback or not, that won't depend on what anyone says. That will only depend on Mariah herself. When she gets her fire back and when she is inspired to write again, and then back up that body of work by going all out with promotions, then no one can stop her. (Friday 5 February 2016; 20:52)

Re: "The white billionaire who can't dance" (59,575) (59,579) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Aww that video of James dancing to "Heartbreaker" is just so adorable. It's the cutest thing I saw today. I don't care if he can't dance, the fact that he is right there supporting her and busting a move to his fiance's song is everything. (Thursday 4 February 2016; 20:52)

Re: MC sending us a message (59,548) (59,550) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha oh Lord, I saw that picture but I didn't think of it like that. Stella why you mad dahlin'? We love you dahlin' but that contour needs to be blended. I am literally sitting here with a beauty blender, trying to blend that thing on my laptop screen. (Wednesday 3 February 2016; 23:46)

MC sending us a message (59,547) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha so Mariah put this up on instagram. Check out the hashtag. She knows we all hate the pink dress haha. (Wednesday 3 February 2016; 20:32)

New dresses (59,528) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Absolutely love this golden dress. She looks straight out of 2005 here. This other glittering dress she wore, I am not a big fan of it, but I guess for a Vegas show it might have looked great on stage and again she just looks so TEOM era here. This is her other new dress. So far no news on the "the fish ate Mariah" dress so I am guessing it has been banished. (Wednesday 3 February 2016; 10:32)
