About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Grammy's (72,566) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah should have been there praying tribute to either Prince or George Michael. Her team is so incompetent they don't realize if needed they need to pay big shows to allot time for Mariah if they want to prove that she still is "The Voice", but of course Stella's reach is up until TMZ and Gossip Cop.

Mariah on the record (72,549) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is an old interview of Mariah with Fuse. 1) I like how the interviewer really knows her catalogue. Usually people just know the hits. He also asks good questions with a good balance between personal and professional stuff. 2) I miss interviews were Mariah properly answers questions and takes the interviews seriously and where we'd actually know what she's actually on the show for. Nowadays it's all diva act, dodging questions, going off tangent and rambling on, or looking bored and annoyed. I like how she talks about her songwriting process and how she came up with some of her songs and who inspired her. She is so articulate and humble here. 3) She actually says "I'm a grown up" haha, this is so rare. 4) One thing she mentions here possibly explains Mariah's situation. She says she "hates being the boss" and how she hates telling people what to do. She does say she is very hands on about making decision despite hating it. I think over the years she stopped that too and since she hates being the boss, she possibly finds it difficult to get rid of the leeches that seem to always find her.

Re: Just a thought (72,532) (72,546) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Another blatant copy is the "Oh Baby, oh baby" part from Mariah's "Secret Love". Ariana's song "Baby I" basically took that part and made it the chorus. But no that's probably not the reason. Mariah's hate from Ariana comes from the "Ariana is the new Mariah", "Ariana is a younger Mariah" comparisons and how Ariana and her team basically lifted Mariah's style for Ariana's first album. They even pushed the "new Mariah" thing as a promo tool. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 13:43)

Another party with radio people (72,534) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Mimi hosted another party this time at her place where a lot of radio people were invited. I love the jacket she's wearing and hoping for some better quality pictures. This is a full length shot of the ensemble. She looks great. The dress is nice. A close up moment. So this is the second party (as far as we know) like this within a few days where she's hanging out with radio personalities. However the promo for ID has almost died down, so I'm thinking this may be advance promo lined up for the single she said is coming this March? (Sunday 12 February 2017; 10:11)

Re: New radio call in (72,517) (72,526) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Somehow while I was writing that post I just knew you'd write something like this. You must be the type who say girls deserve to be (or asking to be) sexually assaulted because they dress a certain way. I am the first to voice my opinions about all the crap Mariah does but that comment the radio guy made was through and through inappropriate. (Sunday 12 February 2017; 2:06)

New radio call in (72,501) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is the link to the audio. It's good that she got word of people being pissed about her supposedly burning her $250k Valentino wedding dress. She finally said that it's not her real wedding dress and that she got it from a bridal store but it's not an expensive one. Then she said she is making a promise that she'll buy someone the wedding dress she wore for their wedding. She as usual dodges questions about Bryan. She mentions some cute stuff about the twins especially Roc. Mariah was sweet throughout the interview and she sounded humble especially in the end where she was thanking anyone who heard any of her songs. But what the hell is wrong with the interviewer at the end? He says "Say hi to the twins from me, and I'm not talking about the kids." So inappropriate. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 14:44)

Re: They do, but "I Don't" (72,473) (72,493) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya well according to Mariah's team, a viral moment is everything and the only thing required. Who cares about sales and charts? Mariah is on fire. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 2:22)

Re: Bad ticket sales (72,474) (72,491) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The SSFT was already in talks before Stella came into the picture. However the SSFT South America and Hawaii happened under Stella's management and look at what happened to that. I don't understand how Mariah doesn't see that Stella just isn't right for this. She has no background in this. Stella can be chalked up as selfish but what on earth happened to Mariah's judgement? It really bothers me that 27 years into her career she's making mistakes even a new comer won't make. (Saturday 11 February 2017; 2:21)

Re: Mariah's World (72,470) (72,471) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It will be a while before she realizes that because as of now she's still thinking her image is in perfect condition and she has unbridled success with everything Stella got her. I at least hope that it's a misconception she's under and not something she is doing intentionally. (Friday 10 February 2017; 16:33)

Re: I don't see nothin' wrong (72,441) (72,461) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha let's not forget wearing this for a Christmas special and a body suit for OHN. The 2 photos you posted of her showing skin but getting it right are perfect examples. She looks sexy without looking like she's trying. In the silver dress with sheer panels you can see a lot of skin yet it looks classy and nice. The photo I posted here, neck up she's flawless from the hair to the makeup, but I don't get the outfit and how on Earth is this appropriate for Christmas. I don't get how she wears these and thinks "oh wow this is a great idea" . (Friday 10 February 2017; 10:54)

Re-brand (72,460) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They really need to work on Mariah's brand. It has never been this bad even during "Glitter". Her image is a mess, the diva antics are going through the roof, most of her recent projects have been half baked and abandoned mid way, she seems to not acknowledge that she needs to work on her voice more (and no I'm not saying she can't sing but her voice is her instrument, she's not a dancer or full on entertainer so that's her sole selling point), she can't seem to stay away from fabricated drama. And this isn't like it's happening once in a while, it's like a regular day now. Only lambs will bother trying to dig through and see the "real Mariah", but even we are finding it increasingly harder to recognize the star we love and admire. Her team has been treating her like a B-list celebrity, getting her B-list deals, and they don't seem to have the reach to get her booked in high profile shows and events, which shouldn't be hard since she's one of the biggest stars. But either they are lazy or they have no clue how to handle her. They don't bother doing anything unless they see a quick way to get cash. They burn down bridges with big shots by crying sabotage when there are better and more diplomatic ways to handle things. No one in her team seems to be competent enough to do the job they are hired to do. Stella talks big but the only high profile deals Mariah got were people who came to her, not people Stella got for Mariah, and even then they find ways to mess things up. Mariah really needs to take off those Cavalli shades because they are clearly clouding her judgement and vision. Side note: why on earth did they use that picture for the Lionel tour? How does this even make sense? I am not against skin show at all but is that all there is to Mariah nowadays? (Friday 10 February 2017; 10:15)

Bad ticket sales (72,453) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Watch Stella come out and say "Lionel is a relic who is unable to sell tickets. Mimi is on fire but she's being sabotaged by Lionel's age." (Friday 10 February 2017; 0:43)

Re: Stella shot down allegations (72,432) (72,436) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That's because unlike Packer, Nick will go on Howard Stern and hit right back all the while wearing a custom turban. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 17:15)

Re: Nick Cannon (72,423) (72,428) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If anything he's probably a little pissed because the kids are being mixed into this drama what with Tanaka being photographed taking them out, carrying them around and so on. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 15:15)

Re: Stella shot down allegations (72,420) (72,424) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I really hope she claps back to this. Dig her hole even deeper. Because Nick will clap right back. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 14:48)

Re: Stella shot down allegations (72,416) (72,417) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She's as dense as it gets. If Mariah wasn't involved in this, I would laugh at Stella's crappy move, but since M is involved, it's sad. It's so weird the stuff Stella picks to "defend" or "shoot down". They never make any sense to me. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 12:44)

Re: Refinery 29 article (72,411) (72,415) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I still wonder why Trey, someone Mariah has known longer than anyone else in her current team, didn't allow his face to be shown in MW. I mean hats off to him for not being an attention seeker but it's a mystery. I would love to have series where she's all about the music, no crappy story lines at all, just genuine authentic Mariah, but I feel like the moment she sees the cameras rolling she can't help but become really aware, especially recently (because in the previous documentaries like the one for TEOM and Charmbracelet she didn't seem as concerned about the camera). So yes it's better she drops the idea as a whole, but I get your point, I too would love to see the song writing, recording and producing process with Mariah and her collaborators. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 12:12)

Re: Refinery 29 article (72,408) (72,409) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Let's just hope there is no season 2. With season 1 she was adamant it's about the tour and look what we got. Plus she's not even working on a new album, how will she have enough footage of her in the studio? Stella will fill it with more dramatics. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 10:16)

Article: Mariah's ex-husband slams new "love" (72,406) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "I mean... I think the whole reality show is fake. You can't have a well-lit private conversation, it doesn't happen." And "When you start trying to pull a fast one on people, that s**t is silly. They wrote the story. That s**t is like a soap opera: 'The billionaire doesn't know, and here's the handsome young dancer'," said Cannon is basically what I feel about this whole thing too. Good on Nick to actually say this. Maybe this will finally get to Mariah since all of us collectively yelling won't ever reach her ears. He also seems a little pissed because usually doesn't he say something like "never say never" when asked about getting back with Mariah? Now he's straight up saying he's not into that anymore. Honestly can't blame the dude for this. Mariah is turning herself into a joke day by day. It's so sad to see her be reduced to this mess. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 6:21)

How to be the Mariah of your office (72,405) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here's a cute video, check it out. (Thursday 9 February 2017; 6:17)

Rat-Pac (72,388) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter When Rat-Pac has more chemistry than Packer-Carey. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 19:43)

Re: Weird era (72,375) (72,386) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is my concern as well, that this whole "I Don't" went to #1 thing will be inflated and presented to Mariah. Stella will use these to justify what an amazing work she has done so we can expect them to be around for longer than we thought. It's a shame, by the time they leave (if they do) Mariah's image will be torn apart and any attempt at salvaging it will be extremely difficult if not impossible. I wish Mariah opens her eyes, there is time still. Don't let this woman ruin you. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 19:04)

Re: Morgan (72,370) (72,371) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Licia if you do happen to go forward with that karate chop situation, can we please get a video? Haha, kidding kidding. But yes, I'm also curious how things went so sour. I always thought Mariah and Morgan were really close and she used to talk about him a lot in her previous interviews. It's a shame things went bad. Mariah seems to be alone in a crowd. She's constantly surrounded by people and think that's her security blanket but none of them are really helping her. Her mom is mostly out of the picture so she is basically a member of the Bulochnikov family. I try not to talk about how she should bring her kids up because that's none of my business but I wish she'd not have them around a 12 year old who drinks and swears and acts like an entitled brat and a 10 year old who will soon do the same. (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 13:22)

Re: Weird era (72,360) (72,366) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Honestly, everything has been so bizarre in Mariah's life the past 2 years, we should change the question to "what's the least weird thing according to you in Mariah's life in the past 2 years". (Wednesday 8 February 2017; 11:24)

Re: Morgan (72,353) (72,365) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I too think that Mariah doesn't owe Morgan or Alison anything. Morgan did help her out in the beginning and I'm sure he has been financially compensated for that. I don't blame Mariah for cutting them off after they'd repeatedly tried to come for her publicly.
