Hall of Fame (105,557) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

So I hear the result is not based on fan votes at all but instead by a panel from the industry. Apparently the last time the top 3 fan voted ones were not the ones that were inducted.

Promo (105,533) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Y'all think there's going to be more promo for the song? It looks like Ariana's new post is all her upcoming album. The director of the OG YA video is teasing the video for her next single.

Signed copies (105,531) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I hope soon lol just because it's just too much. Between 2021-2024 she's released like what 5 albums? 4 of them re-records. She's always getting her fan base to hate on her partners but can't take the same heat when she's remotely criticized. She's also milking the Eras tour for all it's worth and I think she will release all her re-records while she has the Era's tour spotlight on her. The whole Travis Kelce thing is 100% manufactured in my opinion to keep her in the spotlight. Her fan base argues "she doesn't need more money, she's already a billionaire or she doesn't need more fame she's already famous", but if there's one thing we know about rich and famous it's that nothing is ever enough. Yes she's a billionaire, but she definitely will do anything to earn more money because she has to support the lifestyle she has. Yes she is uber famous but she knows she has to keep being in the spotlight because out of sight out of mind. After 1989 she vanished and no one even thought about her until she came back, then again she had a down phase, to the point for one of her songs I forget if it was Willow or Cardigan she had to release like 20 versions to compete with AIW, and that too fell off after 1 week. Now again we're over saturated.

Signed copies (105,530) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

To be honest I appreciate Taylor's artistry and her songwriting, it has a mass appeal. What I don't like is her money grabs and over commercialized behaviors. She's literally using her fan base as a cash cow releasing 2 albums per year (sometimes both re-records, sometimes 1 re-record and 1 new) and then she releases multiple versions of the same.

Choreo (105,522) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

All we need is Mariah on a video recreating this, confirmed #1.

JLo is out at the Bronx singing CDs at target. Bless her heart her 300m followers weren’t enough, but lol MC and Ariana should totally start selling signed copies to maximize the sales. Side note Taylor Swift has been revealing new bonus tracks here and there and her fans are kinda tired at this point of her capitalizing of them. She sold atleast 3 different versions of Midnights, then all the rereleases and now the new album looks like will have different versions too.

Sorry guys. Bad fan. Impostor syndrome (105,520) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Hahah I get your feelings and I too will be happy with a top 5 top 10 so that it positions Mariah really well for her next release but if it goes to #1, that'll be icing on the cake. I know it's a polarizing song, but a #1 is a #1 haha. I mean 4 of Mariah's #1s have been about her wanting to have sex lol (Honey, Fantasy, My All and TMB), 5th too if you count Emotions. The last collab she had was literally about having Big D Energy. Lol so I'll take whatever win we can have.

Let's get it to number one (105,519) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Yus US Lambs please push this song hard. Arianators are apparently going hard with promo calling the biggest radio stations to play the song. It was played on Z100 which is huge. The Arianators want it to hit #1 so Ariana can have the gift of going #1 side by side with her idol. There have been people who listened to it the first time and didn't like it only to later like it upon further listens, so if it's played on radio and all it'll reach masses.

"Mariah sounds too loud on the remix" (105,517) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

People are so dumb they literally said Mariah was showing off her vocals on purpose to sabotage Ariana. As if it's not Ariana's song and I'm sure Ariana discussed with Mariah what she wanted and Mariah delivered accordingly. This isn't like it was a Mariah song and Ariana had no say in it. Apparently Mariah's "loud" vocals sound really great when played in clubs because someone mentioned the remix was played in a club they went to. So Mariah knew exactly what she's was doing. Others saying Mariah sounds AI generated, like ok so she sounds great? People hate it when she whispers, people hate it when she's belting. People hate it when she doesn't sound great, people hate it when she does sound great.

MV (105,505) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Yall so looks like a MV isn't ready. Kris replied to a fan saying he isn't aware of any MV made. Which if true makes me sad. I was hoping they had one to promote. If there isn't I don't think they'd make one now because either ways Ariana's album comes in weeks.

Billboard (105,502) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Is it true? That fans got a billboard to promote YAR?

Yes, and? (105,497) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Eric, what's your thought on the song?

MV Snippet (105,496) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Alright y'all check out this new promo snippet. Thank me later.

New short clip (105,488) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

MCXAR shared this little video to promote the single. They look super cute together. No one can tell me Mariah isn't genuinely affectionate towards Ariana after seeing this. Not to mention MC thanked Ari for having her on the remix. Such a gracious queen.

New photos (105,485) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Did y'all see these new photos? Mariah looks stunning. Especially the second one where she's looking straight at the camera.

Time of release UK (105,484) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Hahah, I don't know, I'm honestly baffled, because I'm like what does this even mean? It sounds good, but I never had trouble understanding what she's meaning to say haha. But honestly, I'm glad Mariah went full voice instead of whispering with Ariana, because it gives a good contrast. I really hope they have a MV ready. I think Taylor is about to announce her first single, ugh, can she stop for a bit to let others shine haha? And Beyoncé is holding strong with Texas Hold 'Em. So it's gonna be a tough battle.

Time of release UK (105,481) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

First of all I nearly passed out when Mariah sang on the part where the lyrics are "why do you care whose D I ride" lmao. I think she definitely adds to the songs contrasting Ariana's breathy vocals, with her chesty vocals, she really is saying it with her chest. Also her whistle intro is so powerful and strong. But yes on first listen am I blown away? No unfortunately probably because I wasn't instantly taken by the original either haha but I think it'll take a few listens. Mariah's singing reminded me of her Morales remixes. I hope to see some great promo for this I know Ariana's team will do that but Mariah's team also needs to be proactive and not reactive. We should keep supporting because this could be the easiest way to get a top 10. Side not, is it just me or does Mariah's verse doesn't make much sense to my, like the lyrics? First time it ever happened to me on a Mariah song haha. Or maybe I'm just not understanding how it fits?

Eyes (105,457) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Is the "eye" thing a clue for something? The cover of the single only has their eyes. And the photo of Ariana and Mariah together looks like Mariah is deliberately angled so that one of her eyes and one of Ariana's are almost joined together haha. Side note, their makeup too is pretty synchronized with the bronzed skin, big lashes and it looks like they're wearing the exact same lipstick. Their hair too looks the exact same shade haha.

Yus always happy to have a partner to be giddy over MC. None of my friends or family are "lambs", they like her songs here and there but not a lamb so that's why MCA is my outlet haha. I am seeing posts about how Mariah's team is super into pushing this song and Ariana's team on board. With their combined budget I do hope they give it their all. Ariana posted a photo wearing a dress with the Butterfly cover photo, and MC retweeted it with a "she ate". 4 more hours. I have work tomorrow so I probably won't be able to hear it tonight but first thing tomorrow morning I'm excited to see the reactions.

Ok we must be brain twins because that's literally what I posted a few posts down. I have a feeling it's WBT included somehow because of that leaked snippet of Ariana singing the lyrics to WBT over a different beat, then the rumors about Mariah reworking one of her famous #1's and then finally Mariah posting on TikTok singing WBT just a few hours after Ariana announced the remix.

Yus. Also all things aside this will be one of her more significant collaborations. Most of her collaborations in recent times are with artists who are new or up and coming. This is with someone who is well established. I hope both their teams push it and give it a fair chance. The fact that a video is likely already made is promising enough. Ariana has great video concepts (aka Thank You, Next) and great visuals too so I'm excited to see what they came up with.

True, musically it's more Gaga and Madonna, but I think we'll be surprised. Mariah doesn't commit to projects she's not feeling. She must have seen potential in order to do it. And like you said we forget Mariah has been doing dance remixes with Morales and others since the 90s. While I understand some Ariantors may have wanted others, I think a lot of them will support because Ariana is so inspired by Mariah and this is her dream come true.
