Re: Article: Mariah to executive produce tv drama based on her life story (77,271) (77,275) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah may demand to play Mariah, starting from her teenage days because she is eternally 12. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 20:32)

Article: Diva Mariah Carey can barely muster energy to move (77,270) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was hoping it's going to stay in "The Shade Room" because not many people are subscribed to that, as in not many people I personally know. But it has made it's way into "9Gag" and everyone I know is subscribed to that page so now there's no stopping this video. On "9Gag" it's labelled "me doing the absolute bare minimum at work". I'm done. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 18:57)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,265) (77,268) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha when I read the title of the article on insta, my first thought was "here we go again". Because I thought this will be another cheesy, heavily scripted mess. But then I saw the people involved and it gives me hope. Stella of course has to get her untalented self in it somehow, but I can tolerate that as long as she keeps her opinions and ideas to herself. I don't really know what to think of a "scripted drama loosely based on Mariah's real life" will be. Is it like a "Glitter" moment or what? I guess we'll have to wait and see. For now, I'll stay hopeful and wish she makes it a good quality show, something that is not only targeted towards ratchet teens. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 17:21)

Re: Game of Thrones (77,263) (77,267) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wish I could say you are wrong, but your post is spot on (as always) and I guess when the time comes, after rambling for a few days (years) I will accept it, but for now I'll enjoy Mariah's reign. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 17:16)

Re: Despacito (77,262) (77,266) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I'm a selfish brat when it comes to Mariah so here's what would be the ideal scenario for me. I'll let "Despacito" stay on top for 4 more weeks, letting it tie with WBT and some other songs that are stuck in 14 weeks (I say that as if being on top for 14 weeks consecutively is a small thing, haha Mariah spoiled me too much). Anyways so ya let Bieber stay there for 4 more weeks, by that time I hope WT loses it's momentum and bam on the 15th week "Despacito" is replaced by another song. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 17:14)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,246) (77,253) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am going to watch this too (heck I watched MW and gave lengthy weekly summaries so I'm not the most credible one around here), but I hope they keep it real and Mariah doesn't try to make herself look as a victim throughout. She has had her hurdles, more than her share, so just stick to that instead of added drama. The fact that it has people involved who were previously involved in reputable projects (everyone except Stella), is kind of a relief and gives me hope that this won't be a mess like MW. I wonder who'll play Mariah. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 13:14)

Re: Despacito (77,249) (77,252) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I heard this week "Wild Thoughts" is at #2, so that's scary, I was hoping Justin would keep the top 2 spots for a bit longer. Rihanna can never be Mariah, but that is more the reason why I don't want her to be the one to break Mariah's record. Like I would be fine if someone who can actually sing well do that. So I'm cool with Beyonce, or Adele or anyone with a singing talent that breaks the record (although selfish me would hope Mariah keeps it always), but yes, I really don't want it to be Rihanna. No hate to Rihanna, I think she's a fashion icon, I love her devil may care attitude, I think she's a beautiful woman, but I'm not here for her dethroning Mariah's record.

Re: Stop the negativity (77,128) (77,133) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh snap, the shade, I cannot deal haha. (Friday 14 July 2017; 21:18)

Article: Braless Mariah Carey unloads mega cleavage (77,103) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Top notch article about exactly what a legend needs to be written about. (Friday 14 July 2017; 02:14)

Re: Why you mad at Mariah? (77,081) (77,087) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I understand your views and I respect them, but saying this board is negative, you should visit some of the other ones. UKMix for example had to be blocked 4-5 times just because of all the mess that went down with people fat shaming her, picking apart her videos by critiquing every note she hits (or misses), then the whole Celine drama. Then other boards, which I have not visited but heard they go really in on Mariah like lipstick alley and this other one that starts with an "A" I forgot. I'd say comparatively this board in particular is more tame since Eric screens the messages and then posts them. There have been many times when he out right didn't approve posts because they have been very disrespectful towards Mariah. Here on this board people may say a little "oh Mariah didn't sound good last night" or "oh she really needs to be more serious" whereas on other boards they'll rip apart every note she missed, then they'll start sharing photos comparing how her body is different from what it was 6 months back, 10 months back and so on. Basically my point it I find it a little surprising when people (and I don't mean you in particular) say that this particular board is rude/ disrespectful/ insensitive/ depressing. We are all concerned because the Mariah we see now is not what she said she is. It's a legitimate reason to worry because we've already seen way too many artist face bad consequences after some concerning situations in their lives. Anyways, I hope you understand my post was meant to defend the board and not attack you. Sorry for the rambling mess, I was just writing on a whim. (Thursday 13 July 2017; 12:32)

Re: Biggest concern (77,061) (77,067) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oops my last reply was to Bill's message, I think I accidentally used the reply on Andrew's message. Sorry. (Wednesday 12 July 2017; 12:14)

Re: Biggest concern (77,059) (77,066) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yup I agree, she should have been rehearsing enough so that her voice stays consistent from the first show. I keep hearing this "oh don't worry her voice will improve after the third or fourth show", especially on UKMix, and I'm like how is that fair to the people on the first few shows? It's not like they are getting a discount for being the trial audience. From what it looks like, before every leg, Mariah is on vacation right up until the date of the first show. Now her being on vacation is fine but she should at least start rehearsing a few days ahead of time. (Wednesday 12 July 2017; 12:12)

Re: JLo on Catfish (77,057) (77,065) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha yes and the Kardashian spoofs are so accurate. (Wednesday 12 July 2017; 12:08)

JLo on Catfish (77,046) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You all really need to watch this. I was laughing away. (Tuesday 11 July 2017; 19:54)

Biggest concern (77,027) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So my biggest concern from the latest photos is, what is up with Mariah's mic? Why is she using a basic person generic black mic? Where the hell is the gold mic? When was the last time Mariah used a mic that wasn't either gold or sparkly? She's going broke, they can't afford a gold mic, I cannot deal. Haha I'm kidding. Not a fan of the stage ensembles. But I'm trying to keep quiet about it because next thing I know she'll start wearing them out to dinner and grocery shopping again and I'm just thankful that she's limiting it to the stage. However I do agree that the whole "oh her voice will get better as the shows go on", that's no excuse because the people attending on the first night are paying the same amount of money to buy the tickets.

Re: All The Hits / Bill from UK (77,017) (77,020) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wishy Washy back at it again. (Monday 10 July 2017; 16:21)

Same post (77,011) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so this is maybe the fourth time I'm saying this but Mariah needs to cover MJ's "Speechless". The song is perfect and suits Mariah's style. I would love to hear her take on it. Other alternative as usual would be "You're are not alone" and "Butterflies". I think I vaguely remember Mariah once talking about liking "Butterflies" (the song haha, we all know for a fact that she loves the insect). But please Mariah, cover "Speechless". That song needs some recognition. It is so beautiful yet so simple, the lyrics are amazing, it's haunting yet soothing at the same time. (Monday 10 July 2017; 02:54)

Re: Wrapping up Vegas / Anthony for manager (76,972) (76,978) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think JD and Randy left instead of them being fired. I mean they stepped down from their roles and were not fired. Stella is still around because she would never willingly step down. Anthony should never have been fired. He should have been kept as her creative director for her live shows. He kept things real and didn't mind showing his annoyance when Mariah wouldn't cooperate. Anthony was the only professional one too, look at what a great job he did with Beyonce's performance right after he left Mariah's team. This will be Mariah's first Vegas leg without Anthony. Wonder what changes they made. (Sunday 9 July 2017; 01:05)

Re: The Emancipation of Mimi / photoshoot / LA Reid (76,970) (76,977) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter TEOM cover was so legendary, I'm glad LA pushed her in that direction if it was his idea. The cover just exuded confidence and sex appeal. Perfect cover for an album that went on to become iconic. I remember Mariah talking about how she almost changed the cover because people were saying that she looks like Beyonce on the cover and so Mariah wanted to change it (not because she doesn't like Beyonce) because she didn't want people to think that she was ripping off someone's style but then she decided to keep it. I'm glad she did because I love that cover and the platinum edition one. (Sunday 9 July 2017; 01:00)

Re: Wrapping up Vegas (76,968) (76,971) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was always team JD though. At most I said that hiring JD was a bad idea because Mariah would not listen to JD as a manager. I've been dragged for being team JD even before (especially during the time when Mariah wasn't hanging out with him and also after he did the interview where he said some stuff that pissed fans off) so ya I am not changing stories here, and I will certainly never be team Stella. (Saturday 8 July 2017; 23:05)

Re: Wrapping up Vegas (76,966) (76,967) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While it's true that MIAM era was a mess but it's absolutely true that JD is a million times better as a manager than Stella. It's not hidden anymore that Mariah was going through personal problems which may have kept JD from really doing much with the era and use his full potential. At the very least JD is from the industry and has connections within the industry, something Stella clearly doesn't. Also JD had the decency to step down from his managerial role when he figured it wouldn't work, something Stella would never do. Two and a half years in and I am still baffled as to how Mariah even thought this was a good idea to take on Stella and the clan especially since Stella has messed up a lot.

Re: New music (76,948) (76,953) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did she really record it? Any sources? I hope it's an upbeat one. (Friday 7 July 2017; 18:06)

Re: On a positive note (76,943) (76,945) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The makeup less photo of her got me shook. She was giving me 2003 and 2010 Mariah vibes. Mariah's skin is flawless. (Friday 7 July 2017; 13:38)

Re: Wrapping up Vegas (76,941) (76,942) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am hoping that they actually will and that they couldn't release one yet because it's probably in the contract that she can release it after her shows are over. I would love to watch the show and behind the scenes preparations. (Friday 7 July 2017; 11:38)

Re: Mathew "the truth of this rumor" (76,934) (76,938) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya no one is buying that story, but the whole "Mariah is sitting on a bottomless jar of money" is a stretch. Don't forget Michael Jackson went broke even after owning his own catalogue and the Beatles. Johnny Depp is in a financial crisis and there are countless other celebs like that. I don't think Mariah is broke but she certainly isn't financially invincible otherwise she wouldn't be picking up these random advertisements of dating apps and dog walking services among other things.
