Re: Mariah separates with manager Melissa (97,250) (97,252) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
The thing is Mariah is signed with RocNation as her management. She got Melissa assigned because Melissa was a RocNation employee. Now that Melissa left but Mariah is still with RocNation, they'll be separated. Mariah didn't sign Melissa herself, RocNation did.

TEOM appreciation post (97,243) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Can we take a moment to appreciate the force (I would write in all caps but Eric would despise that) that is TEOM. This era was everything. I'm not just talking about the amazing songs it gave us but what it symbolizes for Mariah. This album was truly an "emancipation" for her, and what a comeback. People had written her off, she was almost being turned into a legacy artist. And she comes rising like a Phoenix. Everything about this era was just so fabulous and powerful. The title, the powerful stance on the cover, the videos, the fire starter single that's ILT. "I came to have a party"- and she wasn't lying. The world was dancing to Mariah's tunes. She looked fierce, you could just tell she was feeling herself from her attitude. Such a contrast from "Charmbracelet" where she looked timid and shy. I'm trying to imagine the feeling she felt proving everyone who had written her off wrong. Every time I revisit that era be it through rewatching the videos or live performances or interviews, I just feel so proud of her all over again. Also huge shout out to the music videos, each and everyone single video was top notch, perfectly executed and still look fresh to this day. I'm so glad for TEOM, Mariah needed it, the lambs needed it. When Mariah sang "it's my, it's my night" she meant it. It was her time to shine, and that part always puts a smile on my face.

Mariah’s interaction with Shawn Mendes (97,237) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Mariah had a cute interaction with Shawn over social media. Shawn posted this mentioning Mariah in the caption and Mariah "liked" it and commented on it asking what song he's listening to, then she went on to post her own version which Shawn shared on his timeline. It's cute and Shawn is officially someone Mariah "knows" now.

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,235) (97,236) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
It wasn't directed at you, to be honest it was a general statement because every now and then there are people who'll fight tooth and nails saying Mariah doesn't care about the charts, she has nothing to prove and that she's just releasing songs for fun, when in truth she probably does care about it more than we do. She craves that validation.

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,229) (97,231) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Honestly people who think Mariah doesn't care for charts and numbers are people who really don't know Mariah at all. She's always talking about her #1's and her accomplishments (and yes she deserves it, she has the right to brag, she accomplished it on her own, even sometimes against all odds). If people think Mariah doesn't want another #1, look no further than her own actions. Every time a single underperforms in the recent years (pre-caution) it was dubbed a "teaser" and not the main lead (case in point "Triumphant") and then she released another song to see if that would perform better. I don't blame her, she's used to be the queen of Billboard so obviously she likes seeing her name next to #1. But you need the budget and the promo push for that, and the only two ways to do it is self invest or get a collaboration which gets a budget. And like RJ112 said, she's on a label, it's a business contract, she will want her to churn out more money than they invest on her. If they see only her Christmas ventures are being profitable, they'll just invest in that and not bother with pushing new releases.

MC30 TEOM remixes (97,230) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I'm excited that according to the list not are we getting all the remixes of the main singles (including all the re-sung ILT remixes and the SIO remix with Jay-Z) we're also getting the two "You're Girl" remixes and "Secret Love" and "Sprung" is also being added. Although to be honest I don't really care much for the last two songs. From the platinum version my favorite is "So Lonely" which is pure fire. But it's always nice to have her whole discography available for worldwide listeners, and "Secret Love" and "Sprung" were just Japan and UK exclusives if I'm not mistaken.

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,205) (97,208) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I like Drake so I would enjoy them collaborating regardless if it goes to #1. Same with what I felt when she collaborated with Ariana. I didn't expect it to go to #1 and I enjoy them both. But would I want her to have another #1 in general because I believe she can? For sure. I have in a previous post of mine said that Mariah has continued to write great songs but those don't chart for variety of reasons and 2 of them is budget and exposure. Collaborating with a new artist would get her both and there is nothing wrong with that. Your response is aggressive for sure. "Buy it or don't, stream it or don't, promote it or shut up" - that's aggressive and unnecessary. It's a public message board, I can say whatever as long as I'm not insulting anyone and the webmaster thinks it's fine, you don't get to tell me to shut up. I understand you find it upsetting that people keep hoping that she gets another #1 but you don't need to resort to name calling like "inexperienced coat tail riders" for that. Nothing can diminish Mariah's legacy and in my follow up post prior to me seeing your post I did say the reason Mariah probably doesn't collaborate much is because she wants to be known for getting her own #1s.

Re: I don't care if Mariah gets another #1 record (97,200) (97,204) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Child you need to calm down. It's a wish, not a command. If you don't agree with it just say so, there's no need to get aggressive. Also just because you don't care if she has a #1 or not, doesn't mean everyone has to feel that way. Jeez. I see we have another Dandelion here, the oldies on this forum will remember that individual.

Wish for MC30 (97,203) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I don't about you all but I used to thoroughly enjoy (and still do) watching behind the scenes of MV. I wish Mariah would've released some BTS if some of her videos along with the MC30 releases. Example for TEOM I know for sure she has BTS footage for ILT, GYN and SS (as either VH-1) aired it. I read somewhere BTS of WBT was also shot but I don't think it was ever released. So it would've been nice to see some of those.

Re: Drake and Ariana (97,199) (97,202) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
True, it's just sad that there's so much potential and I'm sure many artists would love to collaborate with Mariah if only she'd give them the green signal but she just chooses to not collaborate with bigger artist because maybe she doesn't want to get a #1 because of a hot collaboration and just wants it on her own merit but times have changed, and I wish Mariah would for once give it a try.

Drake and Ariana (97,198) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Rumor has it that Drake and Ariana are collaborating on a song. That will be a sure fire #1, no stopping that since they're both huge on streaming. I don't get why Mariah still doesn't collaborate with Drake. He's clearly a fan because he used her sample of Emotions, then he randomly posts her in his stories and posted a photo of her with his dad. She I guess likes him too since she allowed him to use her song. Just get on with it Mariah. Let's get that 20th #1.

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,187) (97,188) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
If you're talking about the BOTH "live" version that was actually a part of the original EP back in the day. It's a little pointless I agree but she probably just included it because she's just releasing what was on the original EP.

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,185) (97,186) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
True, I think she thought that Glitter anniversary is just a few months away so she can release all the Glitter related stuff at that point. For her future releases for the next few eras I do hope she releases some unreleased stuff. It's more than likely she won't because in the past eras for MC30 she didn't. But I really would like to hear the Angels Advocate Remixes. I especially hope she releases the H.A.T.E.U. So So Def remix that leaked during the era. It's such a bop, I love it. Then the unreleased #Beautiful remix and the video for the remix (the one where she broke her arm). If I'm not mistaken she said she went back from the hospital to finish filming it.

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,183) (97,184) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I mean what else would she have done? Ignore the fact that her fans care to get her decades old soundtrack (that almost ended her career) charting to give it the glory it deserves? Wouldn't people then call her out for being ungrateful? Wouldn't her fans feel let down for their efforts? Also Mariah from what I gather seems to be quite insecure (despite being a superstar) and constantly craves validation, so I'm sure this gesture by the fans lead her to feel important and loved. I don't think her joy/surprise was disingenuous. It wasn't a ploy in my opinion for the press. It was just fan devotion that went viral. And since Glitter was a source of many Mariah spoofs and disses, when it started going viral, it got everyone talking about it.

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,180) (97,182) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Maybe she's saving Glitter releases for the 20th anniversary of Glitter this September.

Also Justice For Glitter was started by the Lambily not Mariah. She was surprised by it and that's when she started acknowledging Glitter again after so many years. She realized that fans still love it even though she hates it (because obviously it was a dark and tragic era for her both professionally and personally).

Re: Want to miss her (97,165) (97,170) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Strongly angry with this. We live in a time now when you gotta get as much exposure as you can get because once you're in the shadows you might not be out of it again. Today's audience has a nano second memory span. If you're out of sight you're truly out of mind. Also agree we need a E=MC2 type album, basically an album which is a compilation of single material songs, if she is to get some success again. Like Beyoncé once said, no one really listens to a full album anymore. It's all about that right single right now. #JusticeForMigrate

Re: Ryan and Kelly show, thank you, next (97,037) (97,043) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
While I agree that there isn't in fact any "forces" trying to prevent her from getting another #1 (come on y'all she got a #1 last year with an old song) the thing I disagree with is when you say she isn't releasing anything worth charting. And yes of course different people like different kinds of songs so I'm not saying my opinion is the ultimate opinion, just saying I personally feel she did release a lot of really great songs in the middle but what's stopping her from burning up the charts are a mixture of a label push/backup (I'm talking deals and monetary support as in a strong budget), really poor promotion strategies (some of her songs had delayed video/remix releases and then after a soft "download my new tune" we hear nothing of it), really poor single choices and videos with no replay value (among other things). A good budget combined with a video with good replay value would do wonders (look at the AIWFCIY 2019 and OS videos). A good choice of singles and strategical promotions is mandatory. We live in a world where everyone has a nano-second memory, you have to keep reminding them (example engage tiktok influencers for the song to go viral). There's just so much she can do. And an easy one would be just to get Drake haha. I mean she definitely got Ariana for some buzz, just get Drake and seal the deal.

Re: Taylor Swift Willow (96,967) (96,975) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
My two cents about all this is that yes it would be amazing if Mariah stays at #1 because what an accomplishment that would be, but if she drops to #2, Mariah is still technically a winner. She managed to give Willow such a huge fight and competition despite AIWFCIY being a 26 year old holiday song. Like imagine a huge artist like Taylor having to discount her lead single (of her surprise album, on her birthday month) and release so many discounted remixes and videos just to compete with a 26 year holiday song that has not been discounted and is standing strong on its own merit. People are actually choosing to buy Mariah's song at full price while Taylor is having to discount hers. That being sad, I wish Taylor would have released her song in January because she is a talented hard working girl but December is Mariah's month.

Re: MC, Ari and J Hud (96,805) (96,813) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
While they don't have any photos together there is one scene where Mariah puts her hand on Jennifer's shoulder and then where Mariah and Ariana is harmonising they are looking directly at each other and Ariana is proper beaming at her with pride. These scenes make it look like they atleast shot those together for sure. Either that or that's some real good editing

Re: Oh Santa 2020 (96,807) (96,812) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I feel like she looked absolutely stunning in that outfit. How many times has she been dragged for wearing the same long gown because she always does it. Mariah is 50 but looking 35, she's feeling herself and her body, I love it. That dress is snatched, perfect amount of legs, cleavage and hugging her curves perfectly. Also this is a fun sing and dance upbeat song, a gown would absolutely not go with the vibe. I loved the version (I enjoy the original version too) but this one has the dimensions of having 3 different vocal styles on it.

Re: Bill / Migrate (92,297) (92,325) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
There was an interview (I do not remember which one) where she was asked about Migrate being a follow up second single after TMB and Mariah clearly says something along the lines of "of course not, it is definitely not going to be a single". She was confident about it and from her tone in agreement with the decision of not releasing it. When Mariah wants something to be a single and doesn't get it her way she usually makes it a point to show she wasn't in agreement with the snub, for example her complaining about not being able to release "The One" instead of "Boy".

Congrats (91,703) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Congratulations to Mariah and the lambily. AIWFCIY truly stood the test of time and this accolade came late but atleast it got the respect it deserves. I’m so happy for Mariah and for the lambily. This is truly a big win. I’m so happy and emotional at the same time, my love for this woman just grows every day.
