About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Insta (74,311) (74,316) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahaha Busta especially looks completely out of it. (Monday 10 April 2017; 14:28)

Insta (74,309) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love Mariah and Busta but this video caption on insta gets me laughing everytime. (Monday 10 April 2017; 13:02)

Bryan drama (74,308) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This time when Mariah went to Cabo for her birthday, even though Stella and her whole extended family were there too, there wasn't a single picture of them together, however we did get some snaps of Mariah and Bryan. Maybe Stella couldn't digest that, after all she's used to sitting right next to Mariah at all times. (Monday 10 April 2017; 12:42)

Re: Busta collab (74,276) (74,296) (74,305) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter All of Mariah's recent work has been uninspired really. It's like they suddenly decide to release a song, it'll be hyped up to the lords and then we get a half baked song which sounds like Mishka produced it on a free software on the net (last time I called a song "half baked" a real lamb attacked me saying Mariah should be allowed to release half baked songs if she wants to, yes that's how far the excuses have sunk).

Article: Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka break up (74,304) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lord I don't know whether to laugh or cringe at this story. This story, whether true or not was given by Stella. How am I sure? Because of the use of the word "unbridled" and also because TMZ is Stella's go to place. Stella has probably picked up this word from Mariah and now she uses it everywhere "unbridled success", "unbridled cash flow", "unbridled leeching", ok so the last one wasn't by her haha. Anyways if this is "true" and by true I mean, they have indeed decided to stop this dating act (because this was never really a true relationship) then I'm glad. They probably waited until the MW DVD release. However if it's not true and instead a story Stella planted, so that she can later "debunk" it then it's more pathetic. Anyways, apparently tomorrow is Bryan's birthday so we'll know for sure. If his anger over Kid's Choice Award was the "last straw" then why stick around until the Cabo trip? Also guess Mariah was being a little to flirtatious with Bryan and Stella got angry since Stella's end game is to have Mariah all to herself so it was time to give him the heave ho. Why can't it ever be a "mutual decision" break up and always has to be "Mariah got played, Mariah was used" break up? I mean even if it's true why can't they just say they mutually decided to end it instead of having to make it nasty and hence paving the way for more drama? (Monday 10 April 2017; 12:12)

Re: YG speaks positively of Mariah (74,293) (74,301) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So far anyone who has collaborated with Mariah and/or saw her in action has always praised her. They are always surprised by how hands on she is with the whole songwriting and production aspect and not just singing. The fact that she is one of the best vocalist is well known but people always get surprised when they see that she has more than that to offer. A lot of people see the diva persona and forget that this woman penned all her songs including 17 of her 18 #1s. I always love hearing what other artists in the industry say about Mariah because it just shows she is that much of a musical genius. Everyone from P Diddy to Miguel has talked about her magical ability to create masterpieces. While the ones she has been releasing recently are not up to her standard, no one can deny her impact on the music industry and her ability to not only write songs that'll make you cry but also dance the night away.

Busta collab (74,272) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wonder when it will be dropping. Mariah was under the impression it will drop late March, but since it's not her single, she probably doesn't know the details. They shot the video too, I hope it's coming soon. I love Busta, although I don't know how he's doing commercially at the moment, but I just want a hot song, that can be the summer anthem. They are playing it out to be IKWYW part 2 and I'm here for it, after all it kick started the return of the voice. (Saturday 8 April 2017; 18:30)

Re: Lets lay off Bryan haha (74,268) (74,270) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope you get the courage someday to come back with your original screen name. (Saturday 8 April 2017; 18:22)

Re: Lets lay off Bryan haha (74,257) (74,264) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm having an "on the bathroom floor moment" Lila, preach girl, preach. I am surprised at how naive some people are or how they will do anything to make sense of something that doesn't make sense. I was actually going to write a similar post with similar points but you nailed it and came with the receipts. (Saturday 8 April 2017; 16:20)

Re: Benny Medina (74,253) (74,260) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Your last sentence must have caused a "clutching pearls" moment among the "real lambs". Edward is a G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time). (Saturday 8 April 2017; 14:34)

Re: Ridiculously bad videos (74,207) (74,216) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter YME was such a missed opportunity, both the song and the video. The video has some of the most beautiful shots ever, with the gorgeous rain forest and the underwater scene and the possible "Little Mermaid" homage, but they kinda messed it up. The story line ultimately didn't end up making sense, also it was uncomfortable to watch Mariah cradling her breasts and looking uncomfortably at the camera haha. I wish they had some flashback scenes with Trey to show their romance. (Thursday 6 April 2017; 22:04)

Re: Ridiculously bad videos (74,214) (74,215) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think the person meant that her "sexiness" is only acceptable when she is portraying a vulnerable person, in fact I don't know how you even came to that logic. The person clearly meant that when put in a proper story line, sexy scenes can be more tasteful, instead of doing straight up "Touching myself" vanity shots with no apparent story line. Case in point, Mariah was quite sexy in the ILT video yet it didn't look tacky because it was part of a story line, same for "Honey" (where she basically strips down to her undergarments) and yet it doesn't look tacky. DFAU is another video of her laying down in her undergarments, swimming naked in a pool, making out, yet it doesn't look tacky because it's part of a story line, the visuals add to the story the song is talking about. A more recent example may even be TMB. She doesn't have to appear "vulnerable" for it to be acceptable for her to do sexy scenes, like bliss said, it doesn't look as bad when the sexiness is balanced out with a proper story line instead of it being the only plot of the video.

Re: AI producers (74,186) (74,188) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Why not give a straight answer? Who in Mariah's current state is someone that is not to be messed with? Also no, you can't count Mariah herself here. But I understand if you need to do that because you basically have no other answer. (Wednesday 5 April 2017; 23:30)

Re: AI producers (74,176) (74,183) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Preach Edward, preach. Just talking about "empowering women" and posting "strong" quotes that you think makes you look like a "bad ass" doesn't make anyone "a not to be messed with" person. Because show me 1, yes 1 good thing that Stella has done for Mariah or gotten for Mariah that has helped breathe new life in her musical career, and I emphasize on musical career because that's what Mariah Carey is, a musician, a singer-songwriter. What honestly pisses me off is that not only did they not do anything to rejuvenate her career (something they are being paid for, with monetary and other fringe benefits), instead they are tearing down what was once the rightful image of a legend, a musical superstar, and a celebrity who kept her private life private. Now we get the new image of an overexposed diva, who is having staged nip slips left and right, faking 2 relationships back to back, leaking the most ridiculous rumors and just all in all being the complete opposite of who she said she is. Yet some delusional people will come here and say "maybe there is a master plan" like girl where? Where is this darn plan you speak of? (Wednesday 5 April 2017; 20:49)

Re: I'm surprised that... (74,168) (74,171) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They were too busy wasting Mariah's money at Cabo, pretending Mariah's cars and jets are their own. (Wednesday 5 April 2017; 17:09)

Re: AI producers (74,161) (74,166) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya it's a question Edouard from France. Who are these "not to be messed with people" around Mariah? Because these are the only ones around her. (Wednesday 5 April 2017; 14:13)

Re: AI producers (74,152) (74,159) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah surrounds herself with people not to be toyed with? Do tell, who are these people? Stella? Tanaka? Mishka? You must be freaking kidding me. (Wednesday 5 April 2017; 08:54)

Re: AI producers (74,141) (74,142) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter To be fair, they also had had Ellen on the show as a judge before and she is in no way related the music industry. Mariah shouldn't have gone on the show, she was above it and also she isn't the type to criticize aspiring artists. But I guess she thought her role would be different. Oh well, whatever done is done, all parties should move on. This is ridiculous to be bringing this up now and stirring new drama because now everyone will be like "What did Mariah do?" (Tuesday 4 April 2017; 18:08)

Re: American Idol producers attack Mariah (74,136) (74,139) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter True, all parties were at fault, AI should have been more clear about their panel selection decisions and also they can complain all they want about Mariah or Nicki but truth remains that they leaked the footage and they used it for promotions to get ratings. This isn't new, most reality shows feed off drama, so now for them to pretend that they are innocent and didn't use it to their advantage (or that they played no part in starting it) is a blatant lie. Second, Mariah's part. I've said this before, but the first dig at Nicki was thrown by Mariah on the first episode. I don't know if they had fights prior to that, but on the first episode, Mariah walks in an throws shade at Nicki's head piece. Mariah also could have used this AI opportunity to just simply teaming up with Nicki and making a statement that she doesn't feel threatened by anyone, you know, throw in a little woman empowerment moment. Lastly Nicki, now we know Nicki is this bratty loud mouth, and I think it was very inappropriate for her to talk about shooting Mariah or hitting Mariah, it's not cool. All in all they could have just resolved this by now, by just chatting up. But oh well, but ya AI needs to focus on putting a quality show up instead of trying to drag up a 4 year old feud. Lame move. I hope the reboot doesn't happen. (Tuesday 4 April 2017; 10:06)

Re: Source criticism (74,134) (74,138) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's a bad word when you use it as a bad word, same way if you call a heavy person a "cow" or a silly person a "donkey" or call someone a pig. This is assuming the word was a farm animal which someone we know is notorious for using. Context dahlin, context. (Tuesday 4 April 2017; 09:56)

Re: Source criticism (74,124) (74,130) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Then I think we all know who it is haha. (Monday 3 April 2017; 22:02)

Re: Source criticism (74,121) (74,124) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just curious if the word started with a "G"? [Webmaster: Yes.] (Monday 3 April 2017; 17:51)

Re: American Idol producers attack Mariah (74,115) (74,119) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They're probably making these statements now because they are trying to reboot AI according to the rumors. They should just let it be. Just let it die, with no goodbyes, details don't matter. (Monday 3 April 2017; 16:05)

Re: Mariah's money (74,098) (74,099) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter People do like her, any one who has ever met her always go on and on about how she's such a sweetheart (strangers and fans, interviewers and all). Her friends, people who really care about her talk about how she's such a great friend and would do anything for her friends, so yes Mariah can have many friends without having to buy them like you said, I think the main problem here is that she needs "constant companionship" and she needs a "24/7 Yass Queen" entourage who'll praise her. It possibly comes from her childhood feelings of abandonment and not feeling special. So that's a big commitment and most people can't be expected to always surround her and shadow her everywhere, like Lee or JD or whatever, they have their own lives and careers and families and all. Heck even I don't meet my friends every day even though we live pretty close. So that's where these paid leeches get the entry. Anyways Mariah can do what she wants with her money but down the line if I hear a "The Bulochnikovs took advantage of me" interview, I'll be like "Girl, you brought it on yourself. Basically invited them to come leech off you." Haha. (Saturday 1 April 2017; 23:03)

Re: Mariah and Stella part ways? (74,074) (74,080) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is accurate, it has also been reported that Tanaka is out of the picture as he said Stella is his ride or die homie. Information is weak at this point but rumor has it that Mariah threw a fit when she discovered Stella mixing stuff in her drink *cough love potion cough* and discovered her elaborate scheme to isolate Mariah so that Stella can then step in as Mariah's new life partner.
