About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Texting before "Faded" (65,362) (65,364) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The mystery of the thief who pissed Mariah off intrigues me to this very day. I really want to do who did it and what the idea was and if they got a lot of success from it, like in the case of JLo. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 23:36)

Re: Texting before "Faded" (65,344) (65,351) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter But Taylor's 1989 was released way after Mariah's. It couldn't have been Taylor. Then why would it be a problem for Mariah if Mariah's album came first? (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 21:09)

Re: Billboard photo (65,343) (65,349) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What in the chocolate fudge? We can post photos too? How? Haha and about the photo, this is just so unnecessary for a Vegas show promo. I mean if it was a magazine spread, a tour book or a album booklet, it was fine, but this is ridiculous for her Vegas show. Why couldn't she go for something like this or even this (if she wanted something more revealing) or something like this (which has the nostalgia factor and that's what her Vegas show is about). I don't understand her choices really. It's like she is almost demanding to be ridiculed by the public at this point. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 20:52)

Roc Look alike (65,335) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Check out these twins who look so much like Roc. So cute. And RibbonB thanks for the link. Mariah's kids are really adorable. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 16:29)

Eric (65,332) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Eric what was the maximum size of a gif that we can post? I'm sorry I can't find the post you mentioned it in. Thanks. [Webmaster: 250 pixels.] (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 13:33)

Re: Style (65,325) (65,327) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Dahlin', Stella realizes that all too well. But the point is she doesn't know any better, probably doesn't even care to know better because her main aim is to reduce the unemployment in America by getting jobs for her entire family, which she has accomplished. The woman's knowledge on style and music is non-existent. (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 9:53)

Re: Texting before "Faded" (65,306) (65,321) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I did not. Do you have a link? (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 1:57)

Hope for the next album's theme (65,320) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope the next album is more uplifting and flirty/sexy. MIAM basically was the diary of a woman with a broken heart. That was probably one of the ways she healed herself, by pouring her heart in an album, letting her feelings out and getting done with it. Kind of like therapy. The whole vibe on MIAM was gloomy and dark and sad, something which reflects the phase she was going through at that time. So now that she seems to be in a better place (or so I hope), I hope the next album is more colorful, with different flavors, more uplifting songs, sexy numbers, some nice ballads and fingers crossed for a song that turns out into a women empowerment anthem with another major female artist. But I am probably pushing it with the last one. So yes, basically I would like a happier album overall, but I wouldn't mind a song which can serve like a BGK part 2 as well. That song was a gem.

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,305) (65,313) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Who did you think Ol' Dirty Bastard was? (Haha good Lord, Tony Bennett does not deserve this kind of treatment.) (Tuesday 16 August 2016; 0:38)

Re: The Mimi/Riri race (65,300) (65,303) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter By all means start one and I will sign. (Monday 15 August 2016; 20:52)

Re: 90's music videos (65,293) (65,298) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hell to the yes we did. I'm still Agent M in the pool. And that over the pop corn counter move of "HeartBreaker" has been tried and tested. No, it doesn't look remotely as good as Mariah's but I don't care. Plus we are also "Fantasy" Mariah on the roller coaster, let's be real. (Monday 15 August 2016; 17:37)

Texting before "Faded" (65,297) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So the texting side by side with the scribbling noise before "Faded" wasn't random, it was part of MIAM's theme. Not exactly a theme but let me explain. So you know how Mariah sometimes writes lyrics down on her iPhone? So the scribbling and texting was her just noting down the lyrics "It was overcast that day, I was feeling some kind of way". You can also hear her whisper that over the texting/scribbling. I am calling this a theme because you can hear her light a match right before the start of "You're Mine". She really did light a match for effect while recording this, as she also put this up on her instagram with a caption that went something like "I promise I'm not burning down the studio". At that point we didn't know why she was using it but it was used right at the beginning of YME. The right before "Money" she says "I can't leave it like this", it's apparently what she said once she heard the full album before "Money" was recorded, and she decided something was missing. She also kept the drunk banter before "Dedicated" for effect. She probably wanted to include her writing process somehow in the album or something. I don't know but ya these are some examples of small add-ons she included before the songs. (Monday 15 August 2016; 17:34)

Re: Me I Am Mariah (65,287) (65,296) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Um clearly the person rapping on "Honey" is not Tony Bennett, Tony was the rapper featured on "Fantasy". How can you mix up the iconic "Me and Mariah, go back like babies and pacifier" with Honey's rap? Haha. (Monday 15 August 2016; 17:25)

Tmz (65,292) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So now Cali airport is also done with the boob out era. But what poster are they talking about? Did she shoot a new ad for Vegas? (Monday 15 August 2016; 16:35)

Re: This is what you came for (65,261) (65,271) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was hoping Justin Bieber would step in again and help Mariah haha. He has 2 new songs out so I was hoping one of them would just go to #1. Or at least for Sia to stay there long enough for Rihanna to drop. What's scary is though this song by Rihanna and Calvin is actually quite catchy and may be on the charts for a while. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 23:50)

Re: Money (65,260) (65,270) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It is also one of my favorites from the album. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 23:48)

Re: Mariah's funny side / Josephine (65,257) (65,269) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She is, she met up with her during her Sweden stop and then Josefin went along with Mariah for a few stops after that during the SSFT. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 23:47)

Re: 2013 (65,253) (65,255) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Rachel would be perfect. Mariah just needs to let Rachel have 100% control and then no one can stop her from being a fashionista. I know some people here will now cringe or remark saying "Why is it important to be a fashionista, Mariah is a singer not a model" but we live in a time where visuals are very important. Kylie Jenner with zero talent is getting millions simply because people are obsessed with her fashion, same with Kim. Yes it might not always translate into album sales (like it didn't for JLo) but this is a better way of staying relevant than by drinking and exposing oneself. Plus JLo with her below average songs managed to chart over Mariah's high quality songs. I just can't deal with this. Forget the age factor or that she is a mother, the outfits Mariah mostly wears (leaving aside the exceptions) won't be chic or flattering on anyone. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 16:45)

Re: Intervention (65,244) (65,249) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Actually it's her team that's needs to stop enabling her, because how much can the fans really stop her when she doesn't even know what we are talking about? She may have gotten rid of her previous team but she is still surrounded only by "yes men" who are there to benefit themselves by sucking up to Mariah. Not that Mariah isn't responsible for her actions but enabling her is encouraging her to do this more. Her team won't tell her to stop because they love partying and then posting drunk videos on social media thinking it's the best thing to do. Only thing it is doing is damaging Mariah and her reputation further because people already think she is all about splashes and boobs. So ya if she has no access to what the fans are saying, the fans are not responsible for this, it's her team and Mariah herself. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 14:33)

This is what you came for (65,243) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Does anyone know if there is any chance this song will go to #1 next week? It dropped to #5 last week but it got to #3 this week. (Sunday 14 August 2016; 12:56)

Re: 2013 (65,222) (65,233) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter A stylist won't do much if Mariah is not ready to "collaborate". Mariah's rigidity about her fashion choices is the same as her being rigid about not venturing outside R n' B. Her fashion during AI was on point because she was obligated to dress a certain way by the producers and possibly sponsored by labels to wear their outfits every night. She was not happy about it because she said many times that she didn't like it. She was dressed by Wilfredo then, she was dressed by Wilfredo after that too. The moment AI ended, Mariah had full control over what she wears so she goes back to what she thinks is sexy and glamorous. She really needs to let go and just let someone dress her. The woman is beautiful, she has a great physique, she's so tall and statuesque, she can be a fashion queen. But for that she needs to let go of her rigidity and just give someone else the freedom.

Re: The emancipation of boobies (65,231) (65,232) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol I find it funny that people are suggesting that Mariah should be given a pass because she isn't doing the "absolute worst" thing possible. That means all the other crazy things she is doing should be excused solely because we have yet to see her be in the worst scenario. Well if she isn't advised on it early on, she'll be pushing the limits more and more dahlin'. While Mariah's boob display and tacky outfit choices (Lord bless her soul, she is the most talented musician alive, no doubt, but her fashion choices are horrible) for years, even decades now, but we didn't have this whole period where all we got to see was her forgetting to zip up or button up her top and hence exposing her lace bra to the world. It has always been balanced before. She'd wear extremely plunging necklines, the next day she'd be out in a normal t-shirt. Nowadays all I see is her lace bra and boobs. So it's no wonder everyone is suddenly talking about it. We keep going like this, Miss Carey will be joining the "free the nipple" campaign soon too. With a "Yas Queen" from Stella too.

Re: Insider info (65,211) (65,216) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Um Edward was clearly joking. He was continuing with the bra era jokes we were all making. (Saturday 13 August 2016; 12:51)

Re: UN (65,207) (65,215) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The House of Carey and Bulochnikov. (Saturday 13 August 2016; 12:49)

Re: Insider info (65,201) (65,209) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Your info is true, there will also be some club remixes called "Lace Bra Diva Remixes". At this point I hope she has a solid promo plan, by which I mean I hope she has a steady collection of new, as of yet unseen, bra collection to wear to the promo rounds.
