About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

That black dress (53,416) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The black dress she wore in the picture with Rita, wow. She should have worn that to the BBMAs. I know I said I'd like her to wear some other color but that dress is perfection, sexy and classy at the same time with a little bit of edge because of the material around her chest. It fits her perfectly and she looks really good in it. I hope she has some good outfits picked for tomorrow. Her appearance will be as important as her singing because she's going to be the focus tomorrow (with all the talk about the 15 minutes being dedicated to her). (Sunday 17 May 2015; 14:18)

Rita Ora (53,415) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I see Rita Ora went to watch Mariah perform. (Sunday 17 May 2015; 13:54)

Defending Mariah (53,414) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree with Licia that we don't have to defend our choice of loving Mariah to anyone. I come from a country where many people don't even know Mariah. The very few that know her either don't like her (because what they read and also they think she is only about cheesy ballads) or are casual listeners. They don't realize that she has an extensive catalog touching on almost every genre of music possible and that her ballads are anything but cheesy. There are very few who actually like her and few of them are my recruits too haha. (I made them listen to her songs and only then did they realize that her voice is phenomenal.) Anyways I have never felt the need to justify my love and devotion towards Mariah. Same with MJ. I used to be bullied for being an MJ fan but not once did I pretend to not be a fan to please people. MC and MJ are the only artists I am this dedicated too and I don't care if others cringe at me when I say this. I am a lamb and I am proud. I will not give explanations to anyone who thinks less of these two legends. Yes Mariah had many bad live moments, but she is still much better on her worst day than most singers in their best days.

Ethan (53,408) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do you have a link? If you do, can you please share? (Sunday 17 May 2015; 3:30)

Love for MC (53,402) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah, if you are reading this, blow me a kiss while you are performing at the BBMAs. Haha no, I just want you to really give it your best, get up on the stage and act like the legend that you are, sing your heart out and blow the audience away and remind them that half of them are in that room because once upon a time they happened to hear VOL which gave birth to a passion inside them to pursue the dream of becoming a singer. Don't get nervous, don't weird out because the cameras will be on you. Just slay them all, put the sword back in the holster (is that what they call the leather thingy that they put the sword in?) and stand there and watch people clap until their hands hurt. You can do it, we believe in you, it's time that you start believing in yourself. Sending love, hugs, and a bag of throat candies your way. (Sunday 17 May 2015; 1:58)

Luke / Lee TS (53,401) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Luke, ya you have a good point there. I also vented in one of my post months back that I don't blame Mariah for dismissing Ariana and some others because I would be pissed too if people keep saying that someone will replace me especially when that person can just hit the whistle note and that's it, there is no more similarities between the too. Mariah is not only a singer, she is an established songwriter and producer and her voice is not only about the whistle, she had a gorgeous voice with such unparalleled versatility. Whereas Ariana squeaks her way through all her songs. Anyways, yes in that perspective "Emotions" is a better choice, I just thought "Someday" and "Infinity" have such a similar theme, it would be fun. But I don't mind her choice at all. Lee, I just went to the link again and now there are no songs listed besides Mariah. If she sings "Someday" tomorrow, I am taking full credit for it haha, no just joking. I don't care what she sings, I just want her to blow the audience away. (Sunday 17 May 2015; 1:48)

BBMAs (53,395) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Although it has probably already been decided that she'll sing "Emotions" and I am fine with that, but I think it would be awesome if she sang "Someday" instead. It goes with the theme of "Infinity". Plus that note at the end always gives me life. I would also love her doing the whistles over the ending chorus of "Heartbreaker" like the album version of "Heatbreaker". I absolutely love the ending chorus of "Heartbreaker". But that's asking for too much haha, so ya anyways, "Someday" and "Infinity" would have been perfect. Her introduction could be - Mariah: best selling female artist, more #1's than any solo artist and dissing ex-lovers since 1990s all the way to infinity. Haha. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 23:07)

Celebs in Vegas (53,391) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter With so many celebs already flooding Vegas I hope some of them take the time out to see Mariah's show. Taylor is already there and so many will be going there for tomorrow's event. Make my wish come true. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 21:31)

Show MC some love (53,389) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So there is yet another of those voting things going on. It's pretty pointless but I like voting for MC any chance I get. Plus looks like people want to see Mariah in Vegas more Britney, JLo and Cher. While Shania and Celine have more votes. So you give some love to MC. Link is here. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 21:03)

Ok what the heck? (53,374) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Someone please tell me this isn't true. I just checked out the wikipedia page for BBMAs 2015 (yes I am aware that anyone can change anything on it) but it has Mariah and Ariana's name in the same box with the songs "Infinity and Emotions" written beside them. Here is the link. Go to the table listing the performers. Look I'm all for people giving tributes to Mariah but they should be people who are "inspired" by her not try to straight up steal her sound and then not even cite her name when asked about her inspirations. Plus most importantly, I want this to be all Mariah. I hope this is some one joking around with the page. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 15:17)

Nick (53,373) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter How about you shut up and stop talking about her in every darn interview and chance you get, then you won't have to do interviews to say that you are not doing these for attention. Also take note from Mariah, she gets asked about you too, but I don't see her even getting into that topic, she'll just skate over it and it's done. Your big mouth is what made the marriage rocky in the first place. So just find someone else to talk about. How about Amber Rose? Or why not Kim Kardashian again? (Saturday 16 May 2015; 14:29)

BBMAs (53,372) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope MC goes for a killer outfit. She is in good shape and I hope she wears something that compliments her shape. Please let it be some sexy color like a red, plum, purple, gorgeous green (I haven't seen her wear a bright dark green gown in forever) or even a bight royal blue or go for the glamorous golds/champagnes or silvers. No blacks please, she wears way to many blacks and it is too safe, but I guess if she still wears one I will survive as long as it is glamorous. She is a legend and she should look every bit of a legend when she stands on that carpet. I think she will be the biggest star in the entire audience. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 14:25)

Tourbook (53,371) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That tourbook is so gorgeous, I can't even deal with it. All new (and oh-so-beautiful) pictures except for one picture from the Chanteuse tour book. Mariah you sneaky little sex bomb, when did you have this photo shoot? (Saturday 16 May 2015; 11:01)

Infinity remix (53,365) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Is it true that Mariah will perform a remix of "Infinity" on the BBMAs? Someone kill me right now. Even if she doesn't I am still super excited about the BBMAs. I will be yelling at everyone to give a standing ovation and maybe a slight bow? Too much? Ok standing ovation it is. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 1:41)

Ellen (53,361) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah is going to make a surprise appearance on Ellen this Monday. Can we just declare next week Mariah week already? I mean starting from Sunday, she has the BB performance and hopefully will be adding more awards to her collection. Monday, the surprise Ellen appearance and Jimmy Kimmel, it is also the release date of the album. Friday she's be on Kelly and Michael and I have a feeling she'll also release the video this week. Not to mention she has 3 scheduled Vegas shows. I hope she gets enough rest, it'll be a tough week for Mimi. But all the exposure is really good for her. Sending love and positivity her way. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 0:48)

Jono (53,359) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I laughed out so hard at "they better be forced to perform". So far I can see that Mariah is in the front row along with Britney and Nicki (I think). They moved Nick Jonas somewhere else. I, however, am still not liking it that the Kardashians are right behind Mariah. I mean what contribution to the music industry do they even have? Why are they even invited to these. And even if they are, you better go sit at the back. 1D, who are labelled one of the biggest bands in the world (I don't know how true that is but I keep hearing it and they are pretty good) are seated behind the Kardashians, like what the heck. I wonder where Beyonce will be seated. Oh as for Nicki, I think Mariah will be fine, she has history of handling these situations well. Remember when she ran into Thalia and Tommy at an event during TEOM? She was being civil with them but from the pictures it is so obvious that she is looking down on them, from the body language. I hope MC and Britney hits it off at Vegas. Britney doesn't have singing talent, but I like her, she's a good performer. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 0:43)

WBT (53,358) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Found this article in Vogue. Everyone involved in the making of WBT (Carey, Reid, Dupri, Austin, Ratner) weigh in on WBT being such a great song, a great video and how it was the beginning of a new chapter in Mariah's career. Ever since it was released, I have been hearing about how it was the last song to be written and recorded and to this day it feels so unreal that this song almost didn't make it into the album. I love almost all the songs on TEOM, but WBT will always be my favorite for various reasons. The song has a special place in my heart. It has a lot of memories attached to it. I can't believe it's over a decade old. Anyways they also talk about Infinity in it. I wonder what MC is doing to celebrate her 25 years milestone. She should celebrate it, she deserves it. (Friday 15 May 2015; 23:47)

Jono / seating (53,351) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Well I heard they changed the seating and now Mariah and Nicki will probably be on the same row. Plus now Britney is on Mariah's right. While I think Nicki will be on her left. Haha someone is having a blast with the seating arrangements. It might very well just be that MC and Nicki are no longer feuding. I am sure their team would interfere if they had problems. What's worse though is that the Kardashians are right behind Mariah. What the heck? They deserve to be way back. I demand that they switch places with 1D. (Friday 15 May 2015; 21:31)

25th Year festivities (53,348) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I better see some of those people citing Mariah as the reason they started singing to wish her on her achieving 25 years milestone. I also agree with Baby about Billboard giving Mariah a new award. (Friday 15 May 2015; 17:29)

Wendy's influence over the "lambs" (53,347) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I see a lot of people saw the new episode of Wendy's show and now they are flooding Mariah and her team's pages with ideas that Wendy put in their head. Real stupid. Wendy suggested that Mariah should have lip-synced instead of cancelled. Ya right. The moment she would to that, Wendy would be the first to jump on the "oh Mariah is at it (lip-synching) again, the voice is no longer there" bandwagon. Plus the fans now demanding that she lip-sync would be the same ones to go on and write about how they didn't pay so much money to hear her lip-sync. Really anything Mariah would do would backfire. The great Wendy also suggested Mariah to host a meet and greet, as if that's the best thing to do while she is on vocal rest. Wendy stop trying to give out advice like you know everything. This woman thinks she's the best adviser in the world. She suggested Britney should come out in a wheelchair and perform when she hurt her ankle. I get that fans may be upset to have their plans spoiled but really some situations are hard to control. On another note, I was a little surprised to hear Wendy call herself a lamb multiple times today. She always maintained she is a fan not a lamb, but today she called herself a lamb many times. Also no so unexpectedly, Norman the fake lamb was making fun of Mariah. (Friday 15 May 2015; 17:23)

25 years of Mariah (53,338) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's already the 15th here, so I just want to say, happy 25th anniversary of your career Mimi. "Thank God I Found You" and your music, you have struggled and you made it and no matter how much people shade you and "H.A.T.E.U", you are a living legend and they "Can't Take That Away". Your voice is a sweet sweet "Fantasy" of thousands of wannabes around the world and dahlin' you are a "Vision of Love". "I Still Believe" in you and always will. I know you will rise again "Against All Odds". You are my "Hero" and "Someday" I will be able to tell that to you in person. Mariah, "Honey" you are "Beautiful" inside and out. The music industry would be nothing "Without You". I love you with "My All" and you will "Always Be My Baby". Mariah Carey, you will stay "Triumphant" from now to "infinity". (Friday 15 May 2015; 6:59)

Continuation to last post (53,337) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ohh. BBMA rehearsals. I can't deal with the excitement. (Friday 15 May 2015; 6:45)

Mariah let the ma finish lol (53,336) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This was up on instagram. Thank the good Lord, maybe she is fine now. Go MC. (Friday 15 May 2015; 6:43)

The BBMA seating (53,335) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They must have some humor, because Nicki Minaj has been seated right behind Mariah. Like the very seat behind Mariah. I'd like to see how that plays out. I mean I don't really want them fighting, but if the AI feud was still on, someone or the other will roll eyes or change seats. Anyways so the Kardashians are right next to Nicki, while Nick Jonas is beside MC. You can see it here. (Friday 15 May 2015; 6:40)

Deedre (53,321) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I respect your opinions too and I like your posts. I must not have been clear in my last post, I have absolutely no problem with the song. In fact I really like it and I love the humor in her lyrics. Do I think the production was rushed? Yes. But I still love the song. I have said this many times, content-wise Mariah hardly disappoints. I don't care if people think it's a dig at Nick. Mariah has many diss records. Anyways, basically I love the song. That's not the problem, the problem is with it not even getting to chart properly. One week on the charts? Is that what it has come to? Mariah's career won't end until she decides to stop making music, but one flop single after another will somehow create deep and maybe even permanent dents in her track record. I probably sound like I am pushing Mariah or whatever, but it's only because I know she still has it in her to get as many hits as she wants. I thought this song would chart much higher because of the summery vibe to it and the light and fun, even youthful lyrics to it. That's my complaint. That she keeps making good songs and they keep vanishing like they don't exist. I hope it's clearer now. Anyways I won't lie, yes I want chart success. This is Mariah, she deserves to be at the top. I am sick of people writing her off as a ditzy diva. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 22:52)
