About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,781) (71,788) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter For sure there will be more of those awkward dance steps that they do everytime they see each other, whether it's at the bar, in the house, at the gazebo or on the beach. Stella will be lurking in the shadows like she does everytime M and Tanaka are alone and eventually come out when things turn a little too much, because she needs to ensure her position isn't taken by anyone.

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,783) (71,787) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha absolutely. Ain't no way Stella will allow anyone to have Mariah but herself. In season 2 we'll see how Tanaka was only using Mariah and Stella is the only one who loved Mariah unconditionally and with all her heart. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:32)

Re: Nevermind, it's a bop (71,782) (71,786) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The longer version does make the song sound more promising. I just wish the lyrics were a bit better though. I have always been a fan of Mariah's lyrics because they are always so unique and poetic. Anyways I might change my mind when I hear the full song. However I don't think that at some point in the song she'll say it's partly her fault, especially after the latest episode where she basically talked about how "he's put her through hell" and how horrible the relationship was. They are trying to turn it around by saying M was the one who got hurt because James was bad and so M dumped him. Throughout the season there wasn't even 1 scene where James and Mariah were alone talking, it was always her arriving at a public place/party with her entourage and then basically "socializing" with James for a few hours and going back home. Whereas there are so many scenes of her alone with Tanaka and flirting. How can a relationship survive like that? We don't get this feeling just from MW though, remember we were all talking about how M is never alone on dates with Packer because her entourage is always there in paparazzi shots? So weird. In the scene where they were trying to figure out (or Stella basically rejecting) the wedding date, Mariah was like "oh well what about the 16th?" And Stella is like "no you're not available". I'm like what? She can't take a date off for her wedding? Even regular people get days off. Funny to say "oh we can't be together, our schedules don't match". (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:31)

MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,773) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) M and Co. are having a good time at the zoo. It's their last stop for the tour. 2) Unnecessary scene between Bryan and Tanaka (basically talking about how they're both excited about him being the co-creative director). 3) Haha M is wearing the most ridiculously impractical high heels (stilettos, no less, not even wedged heels) to a safari park. Can relate 100%. 4) She's putting on her last show. Stella is crying watching M as she performs. Post show celebrations. Drama-naka is already complaining about how Anthony is not down with Bryan's new promotion and he's complaining about it to Stella. 5) Nick is here. They are celebrating Dembabies birthday together. It's a cute scene. M says they have a cool and great relationship and they always have each others backs. M and Nick's mom also seem to have a good relationship. They are laughing with each other over Nick's turban. Roc said Nick looks like Aladdin, haha. 6) Stella comes in talking about how James' people have sent 3 dates none of which works for M's schedule and makes a remark about how those people sit around and play with their balls all day while M is actually busy because she's a superstar. Now it's true M is a superstar but she just mentioned 2 scenes back that she has some time off now that her tour is over, so why not make an effort? Stella is being a diva and talking about how M doesn't have time, jeez, like this wedding was apparently supposed to happen before the tour started, you already postponed it so now that the tour is over they can't spare one date? M asks Stella what will she do, like M, it's your life girl. 7) Mishka's Bat Mitzvah scene. Honestly it looks like she doesn't even though the people at the party, since she is just standing around with M and her other cousin. Stella talks about how Mishka and M have become best friend. Totally normal. 8) Tanaka introduces M to his mom. Ok now we're at the gazebo scene with M and Tanaka, get this, it's even cheesier than the preview. He's actually dancing with her in the gazebo alone and fixing her hair and holding her hands, kissing her hand and all. They talk about whether M will marry Packer or not, blah blah. 9) Anthony just gets to know about the co-creative director situation. Tony is not happy, but he accepts it. 10) Studio/preview moment. 11) Mariah tells Stella she can't go through with the wedding. They discuss about how people thought it was a perfect relationship but apparently James put her through hell, Stella says something like "the minute he pushed back the first wedding date". I'm a little confused, at the beginning of the show didn't they show that Stella asks M if she wants to postpone the wedding and M agrees and she calls James and it looks like James was upset about it. Anyways they talk about how horrible the relationship was. 12) Hawaii. There's a very short scene of M singing 2 lines from VOL while she's playing the piano and I wish there was more of it. 13) Back to the Hawaii beach scene, we again have a moment of Tanaka and Mariah dancing, her tipping back and him pulling her towards him. How many times do we need to see this? Haha, it's so corny and weird. Just 5 seconds ago she's talking about taking some time and loving herself and she's already jumped into a "new relationship". So they are really going forward with this. There is a huge montage of scenes from the beginning of Tanaka and MC moments. He's talking over it about how he'll now go after her with all he's got because she's the girl of his dreams and he's definitely sure that they'll be together now. Ok kissing scene. Haha they show the same kissing scene 3 times for impact. That's a wrap folks. (Monday 30 January 2017; 6:14)

I Don't (71,772) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is a longer version of the preview than the one on Mariah's twitter. It sounds much better than the previous song we heard, so I'm waiting on the full track, which will be released this Friday. I haven't watched the episode yet, but from this clip, is Mariah trying to say she left James? Wasn't it pretty much confirmed that he left her and she was surprised? (Monday 30 January 2017; 4:52)

Re: Will the real clown please stand up? (71,744) (71,758) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha, nailed it. Genius. (Sunday 29 January 2017; 16:47)

Re: The name of the song (71,741) (71,757) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You all need to pay more attention to the clues they dropped over the weeks, the obvious name of the song is "Fudge You, Pay Me (Inconvenience Fee Anthem)". This will be followed by the re-sung "Empower Women remix" and the "live laugh light remix". The actual word won't be fudge, it with be something that rhymes with luck but since Eric won't allow curse words so ya. Stella basicallly spelled it out for all of you in her photo caption. Thank me later. (Sunday 29 January 2017; 16:46)

Re: Here's the clip (71,705) (71,708) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I didn't particularly enjoy the snippet, but according to some people who heard the final version, there are major differences, so maybe the snippet doesn't actually represent the final product, but just her laying down her vocals in the studio. Here's to hoping the final version will be better. I do not hear the resemblance to "Side Effects" (that song is perfection), but yes I guess we'll have to wait and hear the final version. (Saturday 28 January 2017; 15:28)

Re: This is new (71,691) (71,697) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha. (Saturday 28 January 2017; 6:44)

Song snippet (71,693) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The video here shows snippets of the new song. Since it's a snippet, I can't really judge how the full song will be. But it shows at one point while recording, Mariah takes the ring off and looks at it and puts it down. I can't with the drama. She has written songs about exes before, a lot of them yet never really named them or mentioned how this song is particularly about them. Even with her songs about the separation from NIck. So I don't get the need for this, especially since she's wearing the ring again. To add more cringe to that, the series will end (spoiler alert) with her frolicking on the beach with Tanaka. I can't believe how Mariah has changed so much haha. She is nothing like what she used to be even as recent as 2014. I hope the song is good though. Anyways Gilles said that although the song will be previewed on MW, it will probably not be released on the same day. (Saturday 28 January 2017; 4:00)

This is new (71,690) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I didn't know JLo was Mariah's back up dancer at one point. So gracious of M to employ this woman after she stole from her. (Saturday 28 January 2017; 1:37)

Re: Funny review of MW (71,676) (71,683) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha the studio lights, I can't. When this scene was shown a few episodes back in the "coming next" section, I thought the scene was in daylight because the lights are so bright but then when I saw the proper sneak peak I realized there are huge studio lights behind Mariah and probably in front of her too. So ridiculous. If you thought the scene couldn't get cheesier, the sprinklers coming on just turned it into a full blown cheese feast. (Friday 27 January 2017; 19:27)

Re: Bryan's World season two (71,666) (71,669) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Honestly, if Mariah felt awkward doing the scenes, she should have just said she won't do it. It's as simple as that. But she did it and then knowing that it's 95% scripted and re-written with only 5% reality, she still went on defending how it's a "docu-series" and then got pissed at anyone calling it a reality show. It's really sad that it has come to this. Also I've noticed that whenever Mariah and Bryan are pictured, it's always like he's her bodyguard or employee. We never see them hold hands or smile at each other or whatever. Even in the "relationship" with Packer, they'd hold hands and he'd put his hand around her back and all, this time no such thing. Why even bother faking a relationship? You're a music legend, why are you lowering yourself to cheap reality show stunts. I can't even say "Kardashian stunts" because the Kardashians have more well thought out and better quality storylines. They'd never be caught dead with messy episodes like the ones Stella is making. (Friday 27 January 2017; 12:16)

Re: Bryan's World season two (71,659) (71,662) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It will never be "Bryan's World", it will always be "Stella's World". Bryan was just the "flavor of the season (1)". A side piece (in all senses). (Friday 27 January 2017; 1:50)

Re: Everyone asking: why open for Lionel? (71,655) (71,657) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha our friend here has some serious high quality, designer rose colored glasses on. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 22:02)

Re: New song: Side Effects comparison / The Weekend (71,652) (71,656) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The SE comparisons came from a fan on UKMix, not Mariah's team so we can't be sure. Also as far as we know Mariah never mentioned (nor was she spotted) being in the studio with The Weeknd. The only time we saw them together was when she attended Leo DiCaprio's fund raiser. The track that will be released soon is a collaboration with YG and JD. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 21:56)

Re: Everyone asking: why open for Lionel? (71,649) (71,651) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'll drink what this dude's drinking. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 17:53)

Song spoilers (71,640) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter According to this one person on UKMix who has heard the song, it's apparently like "Side Effects" but a little more "songy" (their words, not mine), so maybe they mean instead of the rap-sing, it's more of a "sing-sing"? Also the beat is supposedly more "ratchet" than SE, like something you'd hear on "Power" (the TV show). "The lyrics will get some hashtag", this was pretty much exactly the line used by the person, assuming it's be something like how Bruno says "hashtag blessed" in "24K Magic", but I really can live without a hashtag being involved. I love SE personally and I love the dark, haunting music it comes with, same with BGK, I would love for her to go in that direction but then again we've heard "Infamous" being compared to her old songs and "Infinity" being touted as the same level as WBT, so I'll wait and see what the song sounds like. Hopefully it will be good. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 10:15)

MW sneak peaks (71,636) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This video of Mariah and Tanaka is just so cringe worthy, like why should she even approve these? Mariah clearly can't even keep a straight face with the ridiculous script and Tanaka should just stick to his day job of dancing and not even try with acting. The script looks like it's written by an 8 year old. So corny and cheesy and using one of Mariah's most personal and beautiful songs for this mess? The level of disrespect. Ok so this second clip pretty much confirms Bryan has this one very specific face that he makes when he is on a script, with his jaws clenched and a slightly visible pout. Also Bryan, do you really want the reputation of being the dude who sleeps his way to the top? I guess it doesn't matter, any publicity works. Finally some studio related talk in the third clip, this must eventually lead to the new single. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 2:38)

Re: Mariah Wonderwall (71,629) (71,633) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Isn't that from Wale's verse in YDWTD? (Thursday 26 January 2017; 1:46)

Re: Video preview (71,611) (71,620) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh Lord, the level of creativity, I just can't. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 22:09)

Re: Article: Singer Mariah Carey's net worth seems like a fantasy (71,612) (71,619) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Her finances were taken over by a member of the Bulochnikov family. Both her accounts and legal sides. I do hope though that she personally keeps an eye on her finances. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 22:07)

Re: New music video (71,614) (71,618) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This will probably be a "in studio" video like OSD or "Angels Cry". Also #Beautiful was almost completely shot in front of a green screen so that explains the long post production process. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 22:04)

Re: I think you're a [censored] (71,602) (71,605) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think we can safely assume she's be wearing a fishnet and corset in the video because she was seen only wearing a corset and fishnet under her trench coat when she stepped out for dinner with YG, which apparently happened right after they recorded the song and shot the video haha. Also did you notice the ring is back? As in the Packer ring. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 14:37)

Break up anthem (71,601) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'd like this to be more like BGK, "Side Effecs", "Thanx 4 Nothin" than "Infinity" or "Thirsty". Heck, I'd love another song like SIO too, with a catchy chorus that you can sing along too. As much as I love TAOLG, I don't think it'll work for her right now. I hope they make an effort to give this a proper roll out and release the video soon after or with the audio, unlike "Infinity". During "Infinity" both MC and Brett gushed about how they have an epic music video and there were all these leaked stories about it having actions sequences and involving helicopters and what not, then it turned into a messy video. In fact they said they had the video ready and would release it with the audio but then after the audio release they said the video was not even filmed and the rest is history. Try and make and effort to have this song have some impact and get some recognition, don't just leave it mid way and then later chalk it up as a song "just for the lambs" or a song "just for MW".
