About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

A little Q&A (52,967) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Don't know if you all have seen this. So leaving it here. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 1:19)

Orkun (52,965) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha Orkun dahlin' you are such a sweetheart, you made me chuckle out loud at the fashion advice-vocal coach trade. And you know I am all up for it. I am officially taking you on as my vocal coach and I will try to give a run through of the fashion to the best of my ability. Now about her dresses. I'd say overall she is doing great. I absolutely loved the black dress fishtail dress she is wearing in all the interview clips surfacing at Vegas. No one can pull off a fish tail dress (especially with a wider frame) like Miss Carey does. She just looks beautiful in them. The dress along with that hair is perfection. I also loved the little number she wore for the Michael Strahan interview. Fits her really well. Now for her stage costumes, I love this number here because it looks super flattering on her. What I am not sure about yet is the pink number she wore. The photos are hazy, so I'll have to wait until more HQ photos comes out after the show today. I'd really like her to wear less of the full length gowns though, because that is so 2013-14 Mariah. She has great legs so she should show them off more. I also love how in the GMA interview and in the Funny or Die sketch, her boobs are more covered and so we can all focus on her other gorgeous features. That gazillion dollar face and them billion dollar legs. The wetsuit throwback for Honey, now no matter how much I tell MC to dress her age (and size), I am loving the wetsuit and her bringing the jet ski on the stage. Anyways it's like 5 am (5 am and I still can't sleep) so forgive me for my messy answer, I promise to give a better run through once we see clear pictures. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 1:13)

Inifnity BB (52,961) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Infinity is debuting at 82 on BB Hot 100 tomorrow. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 0:01)

TheOne (52,939) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Always a pleasure making new friends, especially ones who love Mariah. I have been a MC fan for a long time now and yet everyday I find new performances or interviews or appearances of her that gets me fan girling all over again. I never got to see her, yet I take everything MC and MJ related personally and I am defensive about them. I can say whatever I want about MC or complain (and so can all the lambs who want the best for her) but if a non-lamb tries to poke fun at her in a bad way or insult her, I will hunt them down (sung a la TMB) and give them some well deserved sass.

Pretty Girls (52,933) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Last time "Booty" charted above "YME". If this time "Pretty Girls" chart above "Infinity" I'm gonna crack someone right in their forehead. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 14:34)

Love Takes Time (52,927) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love this song. I was listening to some of the live performances of this song from the early 1990s just a few days back. This song is perfection. It has always been a favorite of mine. Hearing her sing it now again has been an "oh my gosh" moment for me. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 13:21)

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. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 18:21)

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.
