About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Physic (64,060) (64,071) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "I think people just don't want to accept that Mariah may actually be enjoying this cheaper form of attention which is celebrity over her craft." As harsh as it sounds, it looks like this is exactly what's happening. I don't know if she is doing it because she enjoys it or that she thinks it makes her cool (which it really doesn't) or that she thinks this is what it feels to be free (possibly influenced by Stella) but this isn't a flattering look.

Re: Mariah's World on hold at E (64,069) (64,070) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope this isn't true. It better not be, if it is, I'll be majorly pissed at Team Mariah. Their roll outs are extremely bad. Tickets for Mariah's new leg of SSFT were put on sale and Mariah didn't even make an announcement yet. Same goes for the SSFT in Europe and South Africa. There was little to no promo and people only bought tickets because of Mariah's brand and because she was visiting Europe after years and people didn't want to miss the chance. The roll out for #1 To Infinity was also bad, save for the cover reveal. They hyped out the music video with how epic it will be and how it is all ready and the rumors about the action sequence and then announced the video will be released with the single, instead we got a lame amateurish lyric video with clips from "Honey". What's the connection of "Infinity" with "Honey"? So lame. Then came the projects which were talked about and then forgotten. The RatPac movie, the "Infinity Remix" (whether you like it or not is besides the point, they hyped it up with Justin Bieber dropping in and then bam no sign of it), then the single that was supposed to be "coming soon" which we heard about months back and yet no news. Her latest talk show appearances have been majorly wasted with no real content. Why did she go to promote MW when the show didn't even have an air date or a tentative air date? Why does she never go into details about the show? It's always "dahlin' there are moments", "dahlin' the abuse I endured". Her social medias are a mess, her clothes have gone from bad to cringe worthy. Her new team gets way too much credit for stuff they didn't even do. Mariah needs a music manager if she wants to pursue music projects. She also needs a professional stylist and a professional social media personnel. (Thursday 7 July 2016; 14:55)

Re: DJ Snufalufagus (63,998) (64,000) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter DJ Snufalufagus? Why does he sound like something you would want to snuggle with? Like a teddy bear? "I want to be you, Snufalufagus. Wrap me up nice and tight. Hold me all through the night." (Sunday 3 July 2016; 1:50)

Essence Fest (63,999) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter According to Mariah Network, Mariah and her band are rehearsing "Make It Happen". I think I will lose my chill. I have been wanting this so much. I can't believe she is including it, that song is everything. It will translate so well into the live audience. So uplifting. Also guys this is a huge platform for Mariah, and all eyes will be on her. People will try to rip her apart the first time something goes wrong. I encourage the lambs to stand beside Mariah and avoid posting comments about possible lip syncing and other problems especially under articles and in forums and message boards. A lot of times the articles go through popular Mariah fan boards to collect info. So please let's support her this time. It's a big opportunity. We can maybe discuss the problems at a later date but not right away. This assuming there will be problems. Just a suggestion. With her current voice and confidence Mariah will be on fire I am sure. I hope she gets up there and gives it her all. Best of luck Mariah, just hold on to your faith and you will do great. (Sunday 3 July 2016; 1:14)

The bra era (63,987) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It seems like after the glove era, we are now in the bra era. Everywhere Mariah goes, she is being spotted with her bra out. Trips to Nobu, bra out. Sitting in her glam room, bra out. Attending a 10 year old's (Stella' younger daughter) birthday party, bra out. Recording in a studio with JD, bra out. I just can't. (Friday 1 July 2016; 22:47)

Stella's post (63,983) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella wrote on her instagram "18 #1s about to be 19". That's quite a bold statement coming from an artist's manager. I guess it's nice she thinks so (and let this also be a reminder to all those who say Mariah doesn't care about #1s, because you can all bet your fine backsides that she sure does). Anyways nice as it is, I would rather Stella not post such big claims. The fans will label the song her 19th #1, as soon as we so much as hear the title. But that just hypes up a song and then it all crashes down. I'd rather they focus on the promo and getting everything out on time and get the appearances booked. This will be a big test for Stella too because she will be eaten alive if the album flops, like all of the other managers. The last single we got on her watch was "Infinity" and while I place the blame on LA and Mariah for that below average effort at a comeback single, I hope Stella doesn't go "yas queen" on anything Mariah spits out because Stella has zero music knowledge.

Videos (63,977) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love how she says "very late, very late" here. Video of her recording something but being the tease that she is, there is no audio, either they are basically doing voice overs for The Rap Game or Mariah doesn't want anyone to hear the song until she releases it. I hope it's the latter. Haha what is going on in here? MC looking like 1999 meets 2005 Mariah. (Friday 1 July 2016; 13:24)

Re: 2005 (63,975) (63,976) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I beg to differ. Jermaine has been bringing fresh sound too. While I agree that Mariah needs to work with producers/collaborators other than Jermaine, but it's no harm having Jermaine on 1 or 2 songs on the album. He does bring fresh materials, MILG and YDKWTD are songs unlike any song Mariah did before. MILG in particular was amazing. They get each other musically. Plus he is the only one who really pushes Mariah vocally in the studio (like he did for WBT). So yes 1-2 songs from Jermaine wouldn't be a problem. She should work with others too. (Friday 1 July 2016; 13:19)

MC-JD (63,969) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah with Jermaine, recording stuff for The Rap Game. (Friday 1 July 2016; 8:43)

Team and image (63,944) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I seriously think Mariah needs a strong team. Not telling her to fire Stella, Stella can either handle selective things or stay as friends with Mariah but for in order revamp her image and focus of her music, Mariah needs a well established team. Someone with experience in the music industry and someone who can clean up her image and take the focus off her personal life and on her voice and professional life. Mariah has been giving consistent good performances all this time since last year, yet the focus is on her swearing at the paps, showing up almost naked to her party and all the negative things. Stella unfortunately gives more fire to this by posting these on her instagram and clapping back at small tabloids. We don't need the drama. What Mariah does in her private life is surely just her business and I have no problem with that. But all the recent public attention grabbing antics are going to eventually ruin her status. So it's best to get a good publicist and management. Who is her publicist at the moment? Does she even have one? (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 13:08)

Re: Wow (63,938) (63,941) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Damn Marissa, your posts are fire. Seriously, I agree with all the things you are posting. I too scoffed at the "Mariah doesn't care about you" argument like it's something Mariah or the "real lambs" should be proud of. (Wednesday 29 June 2016; 11:48)

Re: Mimi L (63,914) (63,917) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha, that's hilarious. Dahlin' this house caters exclusively to Miss Mariah Carey and has no trace online. Haha kidding. (Tuesday 28 June 2016; 19:39)

Re: That ensemble (63,886) (63,898) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahahah B you are killing me. Candy Cane made me chuckle out loud which got me a few looks from the people around me. (Tuesday 28 June 2016; 9:55)

Re: Oh Mariah (63,884) (63,897) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I would have given her team the benefit of doubt that maybe they told her not to wear it but Mariah said no, but I am now sure they didn't stop her after seeing Stella's Instagram post of Mariah in her lingerie on the red carpet. She uploaded a video of Mariah posing on the red carpet wearing lingerie and captioned it "slay Mimi". If she didn't support Mariah's decision to wear that, the post wouldn't have been up on her Instagram. And I know what you mean about the blank look. Plus in the footage I posted, you can see Mariah instructing Suss One to pick up his phone camera and point it at her, so maybe she is the one asking for the snap chats. It's sad really that she feels the need to do these to get attention. When in reality she can get all the attention just by being a classy woman and releasing a great new song.

1OAK (63,878) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Footage of Mariah in 1OAK. (Tuesday 28 June 2016; 0:34)

Re: Are you freaking kidding me? (63,871) (63,877) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Really nicely stated Marissa. I couldn't agree more. I am completely fine with Mariah dressing sexy, but this is straight up trashy and makes one cringe. The supporters of such behavior are coming up with twisted versions of women empowerment and body positive arguments when they know darn well that this was just too much. Does she even think what will her kids think when they hear about it in school or when they google it? Was she thinking straight when she wore that to the red carpet because she seemed completely out of it. If you see the pictures and videos from the carpet, she is constantly moving, raising her leg, covering her face with hair, and it just looks like she is drunk even before she got inside. I would also like to add what was Mariah's team doing when she decided to pull this stunt? I mean no I am not taking the blame away from Mariah, but her team should have stopped her too. If they can't do that then why shadow her 24/7? If all they will take responsibility for is keeping her booked then they really don't need to stick with her 24/7. If Mariah wants to have a decent era of music again and be respected for her work, she needs to become someone who can be taken seriously and respected. And no that doesn't mean she needs to cover herself completely. The look she went for was not that of a sophisticated sexy woman who has 2 kids and is engaged, it was of a stripper going to work.

Re: That ensemble (63,869) (63,875) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The current stylists of Mariah comes from the "House of Carey & Bulochnikov". Mariah had a long history of bad fashion choices (at least they were tolerable) and this takes the cake. She probably chose it herself followed by a "Yaas Queen" from Stella, who would obviously approve of a trashy outfit since that's her style too. I can't wrap my head around the fact that she actually wore it and thought to herself that this is totally appropriate and her team agreed with it. It's ridiculous that she is in public wearing her underwear. It's cringe worthy every time I come across the photos on my instagram feed. (Tuesday 28 June 2016; 0:17)

Re: Um what? (63,839) (63,850) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol Licia, Mariah's set-list may never be unpredictable/revamped, but her clothes are always unpredictable. I wish she'd put this much effort in shocking us with a totally unpredictable set-list. (Monday 27 June 2016; 10:02)

Re: Um what? (63,838) (63,840) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha it's almost like Mariah was getting late and had to rush out, half way through she realized she forgot to put her dress on and she took off Stella's jacket and wore it over her lingerie. When she finally got inside the club, and the shots started flowing, she threw the jacket. (Monday 27 June 2016; 1:08)

Re: Um what? (63,836) (63,837) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Where did I say she has to be a nun or cover herself up completely? There is dressing sexy if she wants, and then there is not dressing at all. If the Kardashians is the route she wants to take, then well I don't really have much to say. But are you suggesting Mariah needs to take off her clothes to get shows and TV offers? You don't think her talent is enough? Also how did this whole taking off clothes for attention work out for Madonna after she crossed her mid 40s? Not too well, since she became a joke. You enjoyed it, good for you. I didn't, that's my opinion. (Monday 27 June 2016; 0:37)

Um what? (63,827) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I honestly don't know what Mariah was thinking when she decided to wear this for her 1OAK appearance. Moreover, once inside the club she opened up her jacket to reveal her full lingerie moment. I'm sorry but this is a little excess and unnecessary. I get it, she's feeling her body and she worked hard for it, but this is worse than tacky. I also get it's a club, but it's not a strip club. Wear a freaking micro mini if you want, but why show up in your lingerie? I guess now I can't make fun of Madonna showing up in places half naked and call her desperate. (Sunday 26 June 2016; 18:20)

JLo - Mariah (63,815) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So remember how after Perez watched Mairah and JLo's show back to back on consecutive nights, he said he liked Mariah's show better overall? He said it looked more personal because of all the nostalgic videos, that it looked more big budget than JLo's and that Mariah really made it seem like she was really happy to be there, and even though Mariah can't dance, she is an amazing singer and she delivered a strong show. He said the JLo one was good too and he didn't leave unhappy but it looked small budget and not as detailed as Mariah's. So apparently JLo's team was not happy about it. They sent a stern message to Perez where they made it clear they were not happy with their comments. Probably fearing that Perez with his many listeners may influence people who would otherwise think that JLo's show would be more entertaining (with all the unnecessary bum shaking) to actually go to Mariah's show instead of JLo's. So now her team is pissed and apparently he was told JLo is not happy with it. Perez was even asked if it's because the venue of Jennifer's show that could have been a possible limitation but he said clearly that he watched Britney in the same venue and even Britney's one looked more big budget.

Re: Hey Mimi L (63,776) (63,787) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Travon congratulations dahlin'. I am so glad to hear that you re-enrolled. And thank you for the shout out, you already know I am a fan of your posts too. Wishing you all the best for your college experience and I'm sure you'll do great. (Saturday 25 June 2016; 12:33)

Re: Ty, B, Andrew and My All (63,772) (63,786) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Bad Video"? Dear Lord please take that line back. I checked your message from my phone and then had to open it from my laptop to see if I read your message correctly haha. "My All" is one of the greatest Mariah Carey videos ever. The visuals, the expressions, the vibe, the color scheme and lighting. It was perfect. I thought the video brilliantly captured the mood, depth and emotion of the song. The video managed to capture the deep dark emotional aspect of the song with it's gorgeous visuals. Every frame was perfect. Mariah looked absolutely beautiful and sexy (without even trying) and at the same time she looked so vulnerable throughout the song, especially on to the water. "My All" is hands down one of the best Mariah videos ever. (Saturday 25 June 2016; 12:31)

Re: Chuck D. (63,767) (63,775) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter People stay pressed for no good reason. It's a celebratory party to celebrate another successful round of her Vegas show. It's not like Mariah is suddenly using her star power to become a full time DJ and kick out the real DJs. People need to chill. (Saturday 25 June 2016; 0:20)
