About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Article: Mariah Carey's reality show was re-edited (70,022) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Called it the moment I saw that lame scene. So I want to know how this is still considered a "docu-series" and not straight up scripted reality show with down right pathetic disregard for timeline. (Saturday 17 December 2016; 4:43)

Carpool Karaoke (70,003) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was so pleasantly surprised that James planned on this for so long. Getting almost all big names from Adele to Sir Elton John to dance and groove to this song, brilliant. I was so proud of Mariah's songwriting that it transcends generation and there is hardly anyone who doesn't know the song or doesn't like it. I hope this goes viral (and there is a good chance it will because it has everyone from the youngsters - Selena, Demi, Nick to the established artists - Gaga, Stefani, to straight up legends - Sir Elton John). I wish Justin Bieber was also included but hey, the line up was already awesome. Seems like Madonna and JLo decided to sit this one out, especially JLo, because Madonna's one was shot after Mariah's so obviously she wasn't in it, but JLo probably said no, or maybe Corden didn't even bother asking. Anyways I hope this also helps AIWFCIY to reach a new peak, in addition to it already doing so well in airplay and streaming. I will however have to agree that Mariah was super stiff and it was weird because everyone (even Elton John, who is much older) was dancing and grooving away. I mean come on now how can you not groove to that song Mariah? I don't know why Mariah sometimes has that posture where she seems like there is an invisible neck brace on her, that keeps her neck stiff. Also dahlin' even though we knew that she has a bra underneath, it almost looked like she was naked under the jacket haha. The left boob was almost aiming for emancipation.

Stellar (69,951) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Major eyeroll. (Wednesday 14 December 2016; 19:09)

Stupidity (69,948) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Seriously Stella, how can you arrange a whole world tour and then not know that there will be time differences? This is what happens when you take up a management gig just to get the lifestyle. So darn thirsty. (Wednesday 14 December 2016; 17:03)

Re: 1969 or 1970? (69,931) (69,934) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter But it is in Lamb-land. Get with it. (Wednesday 14 December 2016; 9:59)

Re: Serious question (69,925) (69,932) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh good Lord, psycopathic mess haha. I can't. (Wednesday 14 December 2016; 9:57)

Re: Moroccan and Monroe (69,915) (69,930) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha, so it's not just me who thought that she seemed to prefer Moroccan when they were younger haha. (Wednesday 14 December 2016; 8:49)

Re: Serious question (69,917) (69,929) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wonder if she'll launch her own MAC line and have that blush out for us peasants. I'd buy one. Need that in my makeup collection. (Wednesday 14 December 2016; 8:48)

Re: 1969 or 1970? (69,890) (69,903) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter In all honesty, even though it's believable that she might have altered her age on paper, I don't think it's her doing. Maybe it was just Sony's decision to do it. After all back then she was really young and really didn't have much idea about how show business worked. (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 19:36)

Re: 1969 or 1970? (69,888) (69,902) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Correction, I meant: "The question is not that 'it's just one year'." (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 19:34)

Re: 1969 or 1970? (69,882) (69,888) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Personally, the age doesn't bother me, however Eric's explanation seems to make sense. You know how in stores they price things 19.99$ because in consumers' minds that somehow seems to be lower than having to pay $20, when really the difference is just 0.01, almost negligible. It's psychological pricing. So in show business, where age is everything, the question is that "it's just one year". It's more like "Oh she was from the 60's" instead of "she's from the 70's". So saying "from 60's" makes her sound older. Whereas the gap is just 1 year. (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 17:00)

Re: All The Hits North American tour (69,886) (69,887) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think the reason for her not co-headlining the tour is that maybe until she isn't done with her Caesar's contract, she might not be able to headline a show in the States during. There might be a clause or something. (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 16:54)

Re: 12 year olds or middle aged group? (69,873) (69,879) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If anything, she sounded stupid by making that statement. Even people like Selena Gomez and Miley and Ariana and Justin are trying to steer away from 12 year old fans who want them to be Disney like and instead focus on a little older audience. Like late teens to mid 20s. Saying that a 47 year old woman is trying to appeal to 12 year old kids as her main audience and that's why Mishka is perfect is her just trying (and failing) to cover her behind up.

Re: Lionel (69,875) (69,877) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya Randy Jackson. Maybe she wasn't asking for advice, Randy probably just told her what he felt. She decided she doesn't wanna hear it. Good thing though, people (fans and casuals) are so busy getting annoyed at Stella that Mariah is really being the least of the divas on the show. 2 parts down 8 more to go. I'll have to agree with Special K and say that although the show isn't bad (and no I didn't expect it to be a train wreck because I knew Mariah was too self conscious to be completely real on camera), I did find myself getting bored mid way between both the shows. Maybe because there is so little about Mariah and so much about Molly, Mary Anne and Stella. Last episode had like 4-5 long scenes of Molly, I'd instead much prefer longer footage from the show. Or Mariah's rehearsals or even her just laying on her chaise long that have to watch Stella play games with Molly, Molly giving stupid interviews and Stella acting like she's the boss. Side Note: The Randy Jackson conversation wasn't an interview. Wendy brought it up during the Hot Topics section while talking about Mariah's World. She met him backstage at some event apparently.

Re: MW episode 2: Mimi L review (69,859) (69,871) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's a review/thoughts post. I wrote it for people who don't watch the show but maybe want to get and idea about what is being shown. It's not like all the points were negative. Infact most of the stuff I said about Mariah were positive, with the exception of the Bryan rendezvous which was extremely odd. The only negative points were about Stella, especially her talking about Mariah appealing to 12 year old kids and hogging the camera time. Maybe you should read it properly instead of thinking I wrote 10 points criticizing Mariah and the show. I have mentioned in my previous post too that the show isn't bad. Some of y'all just get too butt hurt everytime there is the slightest criticism. (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 11:54)

Re: Mariah please no body suits (69,860) (69,870) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is the same woman singing about the birth of Jesus in a body suit, lower your expectations dahlin'. Pray that it doesn't have high thigh slits like the black SSFT bodysuit which almost exposed her "hoo haa". (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 11:49)

12 year olds or middle aged group? (69,865) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella claiming 12 year old kids are Mariah's prime target group (she must have misunderstood what "eternally 12" meant to Mariah) while announcing the show with Lionel in a matter of hours, I'm like (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 9:59)

Re: MW episode 2: Mimi L review (69,848) (69,863) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You are welcome dahlin'. (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 9:58)

Re: Lionel (69,852) (69,862) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wendy was talking about Mariah's World episode 2 and she said she asked Randy why Mariah is doing it, and Randy was like he has no clue. He also said he talked to her (I don't remember if he said few days before the show or he just meant he talked to her a couple of days back) and apparently told her that he didn't think it's a good look for her. I think a lot of her old friends must have said the same. (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 9:53)

Bruno and Mariah (69,861) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'd love for Bruno and Mariah to team up for a upbeat fun song. Is that too much to ask for? (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 9:51)

MW episode 2: Mimi L review (69,833) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter (1) Again, Mariah looks flawless in every shot. (2) That Bryan-Mariah dressing room rendezvous is as fake as it can get. Mariah didn't wear that outfit on the SSFT tour as far as I can remember. I think she first wore it at the Essence Music Festival. I almost want to bet it was shot during her time in Hawaii. I don't see the point. You can see they are flirting with each, is Mariah trying to imply she was emotionally unfaithful to James? How is that a good look? (3) I'm still in the scene with Bryan and it's such an awkward scene. Plus if they met after so long where did the secret elaborate handshake come from? Did they invent it during TAOM and still remember it? Haha just an observation. (4) Do they really have no content to keep running with a Molly Apple TV story line? Jeez. Let it go. (5) Loved the dress rehearsal moment. Wish it was longer. (6) Ugh Stella is back at the screen time hogging. (7) Ok hold my orange juice, did Stella just say "a 12 year old is the best social media manager, because a 12 year old is who we're appealing too"? Really? Mariah freaking Carey's main fan base is 12 year old kids and she is trying to appeal to them? Fire this woman right now. I see it only took the second episode to introduce Mishka. Jeez Stella, this show is really about introducing yourself and your family to the audience isn't it? (8) Another scene with Molly, now with Kris. How is this related to the docu-series. Is anyone really that silly to not figure out that Molly is just a hired actress? (9) I know that the Tommy story and her "bad side" story might annoy some fans because they heard it before but I think it's good that they included it because the casual audience don't know much about her and this well probably help them understand her eccentric behavior a little more. For example how she probably struggles with trust issues and always be a diva so that no one can control her anymore and also why she refuses to be photographed from a particular side. (10) "He's thirsty and I'mma quench his thirst." Haha Mary Anne I just can't. Seriously though someone should use this on Stella. Maybe Molly should attempt that. (11) "I love Mariah almost more than Oxygen." Haha, I'm living for this dude's lines. "I hope she is late tonight." (12) Loved the tour montage but I wish they used more footage. (13) "All of this could have been avoided if someone would have thought about all of this before the tour started." You tell her Anthony. (14) Stella sucking up to Mariah again. Empower your suck ups. (15) Loved the scene with Roc and Roe and how Mariah explained that her childhood was rocky and that she will always be there for her babies. (16) It's funny to see Stella talking about how people need to stop thinking they are the stars because only Mariah is the star, Stella girl, take your own advice. Zarina is sitting there like "Stella who are you kidding, girl?" (Monday 12 December 2016; 18:23)

Re: Mariah going on tour with Lionel Ritchie (69,819) (69,821) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I do. Plus apparently it's a 35 show thing with Mariah as a special guest, I don't know what that means for Mariah. Is she opening for him or what? Come on now Mimi, why waste so much time on the road when you can work on that new album? Stella stop turning Mariah completely into a touring artist. She is touring so much she barely had time to do anything else, including getting married. (Monday 12 December 2016; 16:41)

Re: Variety and lawyers (69,788) (69,798) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The funny part is majority of the people watching the show, fans, non fans, reviewers, immediately state how they dislike Stella yet Mariah doesn't see it. (Monday 12 December 2016; 4:17)

What on earth (69,779) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah out there wearing next to nothing, when it's clearly cold outside and even Stella is wearing a heavy shawl. No wonder she caught cold. What on earth is this bodysuit obsession really? It's just so bizarre. Who wears bodysuits off stage? Let's not name Lady Gaga and Madonna, because if y'all can't group her in the same category as Mariah as an artist, then y'all shouldn't group her in the same category ensemble wise. (Sunday 11 December 2016; 16:03)

Re: Bodysuit (69,710) (69,715) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The video really did melt my heart, so cute to see her just up and run suddenly to her fans. Her security clearly didn't expect it haha. I'm glad the fans waiting outside got their moment. (Friday 9 December 2016; 17:45)
