About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

TheOne (52,926) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No problem at all. Like I said, I get where your initial perspective came from and also sometimes we see things differently and only after hearing someone else's perspective do we give it a second thought. Plus I can see you are clearly a devoted MC fan and want nothing but the best for her. I am so excited about this era. She seems to be getting good press, people are back to acknowledging her legendary status and look beyond the ditzy diva image. Her interviews are on point. She is finally gracing the BBMA stage after 17 years (the last time she was also promoting her first #1's album with the lead single). TMZ, who was responsible for publicizing her isolated vocals being faulty is the same show now singing her praises. Everyone seems to be back on Team Mariah. I am getting hopeful. Nothing would please me more than for Mariah to once again rise to the top against all odds. Just one more time (sung a la My All dance remix where the part "just one more night" plays on and on).

Childish/immature lyrics? (52,922) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am actually a fan of Mariah because she has such diversity in her lyrics. She can pen a emotionally heavy number like "Twister" a thought provoking realization number like "Outside", a woman in pain at the loss of her lover like "Mine again" and yet at the same time make you put on your sunglasses and do a diva power walk through the clubs (pretending you are the ish) like "Migrate", give you the perfect song to do your make up to for a night out "It's like that" and give you witty lyrics to flirt up and yet be mysterious with a guy "Touch my body". Come on, you know MC can still pen the emotional numbers, did you all miss out on Camouflage and Cry just last year? She can still give you those moments, but what makes her so unique is she can also give you the fun, summery, flirty, totally "what the f did she just say" lyrics and I love, love, love that. I love it when MC gets witty with her lyrics as much as I love it when MC can make be bawl listening to one of her songs and connecting it with my own pain. Sometimes I need a to get up from bawling my eyes out and getting my crap together while feeling fabulous and I am grateful that in such scenarios I don't need to go find another artist to write me a sexy fun song with the "did she just say that" lyrics, I can get all these from Mariah. She's literally the whole package. She can make you cry, she can give you hope, she can be your friend, then she can be the person who gives you a diva makeover. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 12:28)

TheOne (52,920) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I also heard it and you are so right, she sounds like 90's Mariah. I now can't wait to hear the reviews from opening day. If MC nail's the first show, it'll be huge news. I couldn't be happier for her. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 12:02)

Kill me right now (52,919) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh my gosh everyone, you have to listen to this. Just found this on TMZ's website. The moment the Love Takes Time whistle hit, I got goosebumps all over. They have snippets of her high notes from LTT, Someday, Emotions, along with her singing Hero flawlessly. I was almost dancing around to the whistles at the end of Emotions. She is back everyone. You might want to sit first before hearing these. By the way, MC's team must have really gotten in touch with TMZ. They are being very nice with her ever since her move to Sony. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 11:57)

Mara (52,917) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thank you sweetheart. I have always loved your posts. How are you doing? (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 11:47)

B (52,916) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter B, you are absolutely right and I am with you on this one. Recognize the woman who has been holding the most prestigious records on your charts. I would love for them to highlight MC's legendary career so that people who think she is a ditzy diva take a moment and think "How did this woman get two back to back song of the decades, still hot #18's and managed to keep her position as the longest running #1 single of all time for 20 darn yearns. All this with songs penned by herself. Wasn't she supposed to be a ditzy has been diva?. Return to form darlings. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 11:45)

Jon / TheOne / Ethan (52,915) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Jon: Hey, for some reason I am not being able to copy the link, so if you go to this page and scroll down a little you'll find the snippet. I didn't get the full version, just the ending. TheOne, there is no need to feel stupid, maybe you didn't see it the way I (and some of the others) saw it. So now you have a different perspective. I get where your initial perspective came from, I too have wanted Mariah to dress more appropriately and clothes that fit her properly, but that's in the case of gowns and dresses and all. This bodysuit is an homage to herself, a costume, and for that I don't mind it. I love it and I am happy to see her having the guts to wear it. Ethan, I think the bodysuit is a better idea. The nude two piece might look a little out of place on a stage, I don't know, just a thought. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 11:39)

B / rumors (52,892) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I found some bleak tweets on Twitter. I don't really believe them of course, but just saying, they better not do that. I know she's in Vegas, but I think the rumor started because she has a residency show on the same day. So yeah. Anyways, I am not paying it much heed. I would love her performance at the BBMAs to include her previous hits. I was getting frustrated that none of the major awards shows are celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of the most influential artists of all time and a living legend. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 23:12)

B (52,884) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Is Justin's attendance confirmed? You are right about Britney and Mayweather too. I haven't heard any other singer being named an "inspiration" for the current lot of A list singers than the number of people who cite MC as their musical inspiration. So they better go and give the queen a visit. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 22:11)

Please no (52,878) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I heard some not-so-pip rumors that the MC BBMAs performance may be a hologram performance or satellite performance (which I am assuming means she won't be present in the flesh). Dear Lord I hope it stays a rumor and nothing more. I want MC to get that sexy body on that huge stage and break a few eyeglasses with her high notes. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 21:37)

Vegas (52,876) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope some major A list stars go and see Mariah perform at Vegas. It'll add tot he publicity. So many major celebs went to see Britney perform and that too on the same night, it got a lot of press coverage. MC has influenced so many artists in her 25 years in the business, I hope they have the courtesy to show their support towards her by going to Vegas. I'm looking at you Beyonce, Rihanna, Sam Smith and what have you. So many of them will already be there for the BBMAs and all. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 21:31)

BBMA (52,871) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Excited. *high pitched squeal* I wonder what she'll perform. A medley of the 1's to promote Vegas or Infinity to promote her latest single. I can't decide which will be better. Singing the #1's may introduce her to more people who are not aware of her catalogue while at the same time celebrate her 25th year in the business, after all she is holding 2 major records on the BB charts. But at the same time Infinity needs to be promoted until it's dry and it's a song that can easily catch the attention of the younger music lovers. What do you guys think? (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 18:29)

The "Honey" bodysuit (52,870) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I, for one, don't mind the black bodysuit she wore for Honey (I am assuming that's the one since the outfit is taken from the video). I have been rooting for her to wear some of her iconic outfits and the black bodysuit (along with the nude two piece) is as iconic as it gets. Her legs might look thicker because the shot was take from way above. Possibly one of the higher views. Because she is pretty thin now. Even if her legs are like that for real, I'm glad she's confident enough to wear that outfit. It's a performance. It's Vegas. It has to be over the top. I'm rooting for more throwback iconic outfits.

We belong together (52,869) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Umm so Mariah just sang her heart out at the preview for the Las Vegas show and yes, she sang WBT ending live. I'm gonna go lie down and try to recover from being slayed. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 18:16)

One direction (52,846) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was listening to some 1D tracks and I loved how they sound. They write their own material and they have really mature voices. I would love it if MC at some point collaborates with them or gets them to perform one of her duets (maybe TGIFY or OSD) at Vegas or a major awards show with her. They are a talented group of boys and I bet they can come up with great material collaborating with MC. It might sound a little weird to imagine them collaborating but I think it would be great and something new. Just an idea. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 3:19)

Vegas preview performance? (52,836) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh my gosh. Apparently there is a Vegas preview performance tonight? Good luck Mariah. Slay them Mimi. (Monday 4 May 2015; 22:12)

Las Vegas / B (52,831) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter People going to Las Vegas can you please give us detailed (as much as possible) descriptions about the show and the alleged surprises. I saw the completed set for VOL today. I think there is one set with a huge butterfly. Can't be sure but I saw the sketch of a butterfly and on the picture of MC and Michael, I think you can see a little bit of the butterfly. B, I saw the MV clip you are talking about, but turns out it was just a snippet and Mariah herself later said that they had just finished shooting the beginning of the video during her interviews on the night of her Vegas arrival. She mentioned they didn't finish the video yet. Anyways I hope it's done soon. I really love the song and have given it multiple spins everyday. I hope it charts really well. I just listened to Britney's "Pretty Girls" today, horrible. Thank the good Lord for Mariah. (Monday 4 May 2015; 21:54)

MayPac (52,791) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I thought MC went to the event but why is there absolutely no pictures of her? I've seen pictures of every other celebrity at the match, where's my Mimi at? (Sunday 3 May 2015; 22:58)

Video (52,790) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Absolutely no word on the video yet. I'm a little anxious. I hope Brett isn't busy doing other projects. This song needs to be promoted while it's still hot. It has a mass appeal. The GP is liking it. A hot video is something it needs to push it to the next phase. Brett don't be playing with me now. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 22:57)

Everyone calm down (52,767) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can we all please calm down? Guys it's just a song. It's fine if someone loves it or someone hates it. Whatever we post should only be our opinions (and people should also take it as opinions) and not be portrayed as facts. Let's not try to force our opinions down each others throat and call out people for their opinions. It's hard when we all feel so passionately about MC but we should try. And please no more of the "fair weather fans versus true lamb" bull crap. That topic has been milked dry by now. We all are here because at some level we feel connected to Mariah and we love her. Let everyone voice their opinions and if you don't agree just state why your opinions differ but don't try to make others agree with you. Let's all just be respectful to each other and towards Mariah and try to engage in a healthy discussion or debate. No need to bring on the abuse. I don't think anyone who doesn't love Mariah atleast on some level has the time or need to post on this board so from that I'll assume everyone here is a fan whether they like something she puts out or not. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:28)

RJJ12 (52,766) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Seems like your wish has been granted. MC tweeted a picture getting read to go to the MayPac fight. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:21)

New pic (52,765) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Umm how gorgeous is this woman? Seriously, does she even age? (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:19)

Interviews (52,620) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I said it a few posts back but I just had to say it again, MC is just doing so good on these interviews. She is owning up to her status as a legend, she seems to have left no questions barred. I mean they are asking her about her vocal issues, lip syncs, Nick Cannon and body and she is answering them all so calmly yet in an unapologetic manner. No more of the hair flips, using hair as a curtain, mumbling random things. Now she seriously comes across as a serious person, who knows her sh*t. She's confident and straight forward, composed and above all she is doing all these without making it look like she is trying too hard. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 17:28)

Ryan from Canada / Wendy (52,611) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't know if people viewed the video "because" of Wendy, but here's what happened. In Wendy's recent episode, she talks about MC and Infinity and she reads out a few quotes from the song and says "she wins" (as in MC wins the fight between her and Nick). She also laughs at how Nick promoted the song not knowing its about him. So she goes on to state something like well if MC nails Vegas and all then she can make a comeback. So she looks at the audience and goes "Right?" The audience look a little apprehensive and they don't "clap loud" (clapping would indicate they agree that MC can make a comeback). So Wendy tries to be condescending towards MC and say ok I'll take this poll again and asks the audience if they think she can make a comeback. This time the audience claps like crazy and Wendy starts yelling that "You guys are two faced, you just said no. Tell me your real opinion." Then she asks them for the third time and they all say "no", which obviously delights Wendy to no end. Oh and MC's so called "in show" lamb at Wendy's, that guy Norman, again agrees with Wendy that he doesn't like the new song. Now I don't have a problem with people not feeling the song, but I feel like Norman just pretends to be a lamb so that Wendy can show people that even MC's fans don't like her. Anyways Wendy does add that this song proves MC doesn't want anything to do with Nick whereas previously one would feel sorry for MC that she desperately wants Nick back. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 15:00)

Infinity (52,605) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wonder if it's worrisome that Infinity is falling down the charts in its debut week. The video needed to be released yesterday and I am wondering which shows MC will make appearances on to promote it. This can't be another song she abandons. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 10:52)
