Re: Re: MC praises (56,764) (56,789) (56,794) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is the interview where he mentions Mariah. (Monday 21 September 2015; 10:40)

Re: That booty though (56,773) (56,790) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol. Lee your post "Mariah serving some delicious cake" reminded me of Van from TMZ. She does have a bigger booty now, but Mariah's booty was always on point. That "Honey" video closeup when she is pulled on the helicopter is everything. She never got enough credit for her hot body and booty like many other things she doesn't get credit for. This woman also basically has flawless skin. Did her T-shirt at 6 flags have "I love my boyfriend" written on it? That's so cute. (Monday 21 September 2015; 4:13)

Re: Article: What it's like to get a selfie with Mariah Carey (56,780) (56,781) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It might just be like a code word or sign between her and her entourage. She has the same security for years now so they might have secret signs so that Mariah doesn't need to yell out orders in public. I doubt she would smoke knowing what it did to her previously plus didn't she stop mid concert to ask them to stop blowing smoke? So yes my bet is on it being a secret sign code.

Re: MC praises (56,777) (56,778) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I also heard that Tori Kelly is a huge fan, I didn't get to check out her songs yet. Out of all the people citing Mariah as their favorite, Justin's surprised me the most. I hope more people come out and talk about Mariah's influence. The fact that people like Beyonce and Christina said that VOL and Mariah made them decide they want to be a singer shows how much Mariah has impacted the lives of the industry's best.

Bone Thugs N Harmony (56,766) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I absolutely love Mariah's collaborations with Bone Thugs N Harmony. They just go so well together. "Breakdown" is one of my favorite MC songs of all time and I absolutely adore "Li'l L.O.V.E.". That's why I was excited to hear the new collaboration that was supposedly happening between the two. Does anyone know what happened to that? The song was supposed to be on BTNH's album which was supposed to be their last album ever (?) I think. (Sunday 20 September 2015; 1:35)

MC praises (56,764) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's nice to see current hot artists giving shout outs to Mariah or acknowledging her influence. Within this week Katy Perry gave a very public shout out to Mariah (which was well documented) and acknowledged her influence. Then we have Justin Bieber who was asked during a radio interview about who his favourite female artist is and he said Mariah Carey (which I will admit was a bit surprising for me because I did not expect it, but I was pleasantly surprised and happy). He did say even before that growing up, Mariah's music has been a big influence. I see a lot of people take Katy's comment of "sit back and enjoy" (or something like that) as a shade and honestly I don't think it's shady at all, sometimes fans just stir up rumors. Plus I find it funny that people are pissed that Katy talked about Mariah's influence. Like why? If she felt that she needed to give a shout out to Mariah it is completely her prerogative, it doesn't matter if people think some other artist had a bigger influence, Katy isn't speaking for everyone, she is speaking for herself. Same with Justin. I saw a lot of comments about why the hell did he say Mariah and not Beyonce or Ariana and I am like what is this even about? His influence, his favorite, his choice, he can name whoever the heck he wants. I swear if these shout out were to Beyonce or Taylor or anyone apart for Mariah, they wouldn't get such hate. Anyways people can stay pissed, Mariah's impact is undeniable and she is, I think the most copied artist of all time. From the use of melisma, whistle register, cut out jeans to them blinged out microphones, MC has been an influence in everything. Haters gonna hate, but Mariah's gonna get paid.

Re: Mimi L (56,744) (56,745) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thank you for your response Andrew and I appreciate it. I think I hardly ever call you out but I did feel like writing to ask if that is really the way you wanted to question her. I might have misunderstood your post and for that I apologize. I usually try not to tell people how to behave around or feel about Mariah (I do have opinions, but those are just that). Lord knows I have been called "delusional lamb" and "hater goat" on this same board. I am definitely not one to think Mariah is flawless or blameless in everything. She is human and like everyone else she has her flaws and I call her out when I think she is at fault and then face a lot of hate too lol. I would like to explain that when I wrote "used to" it wasn't to insult you or question your devotion, I just sometimes write like that to cover both sides so that I don't have to write another post in case the person I am writing to gives the "other scenario". I know I am probably not making sense, but everything aside. I didn't mean to insult you or anyone by that post. I also didn't mean to come off like I am questioning your love for Mariah's music, because I did tell you before that I believe you do love her contrary to what people may think by your posts. I feel bad after reading the post you wrote and how you feel about her so yet again, I am sorry. Your posts directed at me has always been respectable and for that I am grateful, and so I have always tried to be respectable towards you. So yes, no hard feelings I hope.

Re: Mariah's impact (56,741) (56,743) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter LC I agree with your post, Mariah never was and still isn't given enough credit. I would like to add to the part about the Christmas album, you might already know this but still I wanted to add that at the time Mariah made that album, she said she didn't want to do it. That is because she thought it was something people do around the end of their careers not 3 years into their career. But she later agreed and now it has become a staple, so that adds to your post about how people just assume that young artists making a Christmas album is common whereas the queen of Christmas herself was hesitant when making hers because before her, it wasn't such a common practice. She made it popular, she made it look like a profitable venture that if one manages to nail a good holiday anthem, they can live off its royalty for years (unfortunately people were not successful in replicating the success). Now everyone seems to have a Christmas album or EP even before they make it big like Ariana has one, Justin Bieber, Demi, and a lot more I don't even know the names of. It does sadden me that no matter what Mariah does, people always dutifully forget to give her any credit or praise her for it. They just think of her as the big voiced diva when she is so much more than that. Her voice is only one of her many talents/contributions. (Friday 18 September 2015; 20:59)

Gow (56,739) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter New picture for the ad. I love it. I like that they kept her body fairly close to her current body so we won't get the photoshop backlash and they kept her face the way it was during the time the photo was taken. It has become smaller now but heck she looks great in any shape. Warrior-Riah is coming for you. (Friday 18 September 2015; 17:21)

Re: My 5 questions (56,720) (56,722) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha Lee you might also want to add: "And also no 'I don't know her' because I have her CD right here and I will play it for you." Lol because you know if you tell her not to say "we love everybody" she will go for the legendary "I don't know her". (Thursday 17 September 2015; 16:51)

Harper's Bazaar (56,716) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Mariah went to the HB event and she looked so good. I can't decide on whether I like the dress or not, but I have to say that she looks flawless in the pictures. Them boobies are out but it does not look bad here and look at that million dollar face. Mariah shining brighter than the diamonds around her neck. She looks so beautiful, I can't even. (Thursday 17 September 2015; 10:37)

Re: If you could interview MC and only ask 5 questions (56,697) (56,715) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Andrew, you get the chance of a lifetime to interview an artist you admire (or used to) and you will ask her questions that insult her or make fun of her? That's a little sad. I'd think that even if Mariah currently is not making the type of music you want, I would like to believe there was a time when she did, and given the chance to interview this person, is insulting her really the way to go? (Thursday 17 September 2015; 9:55)

Re: If you could interview MC and only ask 5 questions (56,692) (56,696) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow B your set of questions are fire. I want to know the answers to those definitely. Especially the tea on who stole the ideas and what the idea was. And oh my gosh do I want to know what she thought of L.A.'s comments. It must have stung at least a little since the comment was outright rude. (Wednesday 16 September 2015; 20:20)

Picture (56,681) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If I didn't know better, I would totally think this is from 2005. (Wednesday 16 September 2015; 12:19)

Re: B / Empire pic (56,672) (56,680) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree that she is looking slimmer and if you see her pictures from the side also, her stomach is now flatter than it was a few weeks back. It's better that she loses the weight slowly because that would mean she is taking the healthy route. She can drop the kilos quick with crash diets and all but that is neither healthy, nor good since she will gain back more really fast. At this point in her life, I want Mariah to chose to be healthy and happy. She also seems to have changed the hair color to a lighter blonde. Still hoping for a black/brown moment but I can live with this too. Whatever makes her feel good. Also you have 2, not 1 trademarks to register. "Slowly but surely" and "the vindication of B".

GoW (56,666) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The GoW ad is bringing out some negative press but to hell with that. The main idea with these advertisements is to get people talking and good or bad press, Mariah's name is getting them headlines all over so it's a win win for both parties. The gaming company is getting the publicity, Mariah is getting the cash and royalties. Haters are going to hate. I think the ad was cute and I liked the humor element to it. That's very Mariah. I'd rather have this than the Kate Upton versions of her in the bath tub and all. It's good that the focus is kept on the theme of the game and Mariah is their "aid" in the battle. Anyways, counting down to when JLo or someone else will be pulling the same move and be praised and admired while Mariah gets ridiculed. "Trendsetter-Riah" does not need anybody's approval. She's been setting trends (and being ridiculed for it) since she stepped into the limelight and them other irregularities come in and copy it and people think it's awesome. Bye Felicia.

Re: Empire pic (56,658) (56,661) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That and also this one. (Tuesday 15 September 2015; 16:43)

Re: Empire pic (56,653) (56,656) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol B, you should trademark that line now that it has reached legendary status. But in all seriousness, Mariah does look slimmer now. Doesn't she look very TEOM era right now? (Tuesday 15 September 2015; 15:23)

Re: Mimi L. / Empire (56,652) (56,655) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah I am super glad to hear that. Catch up on Season 1. Season 2 starts soon. Empire Season 2 starting September 23. Wednesdays, only on Fox. Haha. (Tuesday 15 September 2015; 15:21)

Re: Mimi L. / Empire (56,650) (56,651) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah yay. Hold on a second. *collecting checks from Lee* Haha. I am so glad you liked it though. I think the show is written really well and the characters are played to perfection. Everything from the visuals, to the story, to the character story lines and music are all done so nicely and tastefully. I love how over the top Cookie is. (Tuesday 15 September 2015; 12:02)

Gif (56,632) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha the run has already been turned into a gif. Aaww Mariah is so cute. I love me some Mimi. I hope we see more ads. (Monday 14 September 2015; 20:27)

Game of War (56,631) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is the new GoW ad. Mariah looks stunning, very TEOM era glam meets warrior. I love her in the armor. But why is she running in such a weird manner haha? But I wish there was more of her. She is there like for just a few seconds. (Monday 14 September 2015; 19:02)

Glitter (56,606) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Happy birthday Glitter. You didn't get a chance to shine the way you deserved. Glitter (the soundtrack) was ahead of it's time. I will probably go watch the movie now. (Friday 11 September 2015; 22:43)

Re: This is QHM, Warrior, Deedra, Mimi L (56,557) (56,559) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha you are right, it didn't match. I think the only time it matched was when she wore the same necklace (or a similar one) for her vow renewals in Paris, where she wore the white fishtail gown. Oh wait, it also looked good at the Rockefeller event. Although that night she had another major fashion faux pas with her fake tan (notice the glove region, tan mishap). I also agree that the choker she wore with the pink dress went with the dress. I liked the pink dress, the waterfall slit gave it a fun meets formal look. Sometimes she goes overboard with the accessories. Like big chunky diamond pieces with very casual attire (like the tank top moment this time). (Thursday 10 September 2015; 1:48)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shows off the family jewels (56,554) (56,556) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes you are right, that necklace is not new. Nowadays these news outlets just make up stuff and pass them off as stories. However fashion advice for Mariah, that necklace does not go with that tank top. But I like her tank top though.
