About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Friday feeling (108,606) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Same. I really became a lamb around TEOM but then of course discovered her previous discography and the music that interests me or resonates with me is Butterfly onwards. Maybe some Daydream too. I hardly ever listen to the pre 1997 albums. (Wednesday 23 April 2025; 15:21) this is a reply to message 108,601

Friday feeling (108,601) by Zachariah from Croatia I am more a fan of after 1997 and until now. I never liked "pop goody two shoes" Mariah. (Tuesday 22 April 2025; 09:31)

MiMi20 CD (108,573) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was going by the vinyl tracklisting. (Monday 14 April 2025; 02:25) this is a reply to message 108,568

MiMi20 CD (108,568) by John from USA Same here. I'm hoping for a few unreleased tracks. Why do people here seem certain there aren't any? Have track listings been leaked somewhere? (Sunday 13 April 2025; 18:15)

MIMI 20 incomplete (108,553) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes I was hoping for fresh/unheard material and not remixes we've already listened to. I was also thinking she'll have new visuals but they are all recycled. Lastly it would have been cool to have like a coffee table book or a mini book of stories behind the songs, videos etc, unreleased or BTS photos. She could have detailed out how she landed on doing a 2 part MV for WBt and ILT, the Easter eggs in SIO and DFAU, her collaborations with Louis Vuitton and Nokia for SS. She could have also included recreations of her iconic TEOM album images. This album redefined Mariah Carey, resuscitated her career and introduced her to a new generation, the celebration for this album should have been way more elevated.

MIMI 20 incomplete (108,552) by Tevin from USA Let me start off on a positive note, I'm glad Mariah is doing something to celebrate the anniversary of this amazing album. As much as I loved Mariah growing up, this album truly made me a huge fan of hers. Now with that being said, I'm going to need Mariah to reach into that vault and find a hidden demo or track from that album. Lol. I'm excited to hear the a capella version of Circles, but other than that, everything else is just remixes. Many of them have been released or leaked years ago. I was really hoping for something new. But who knows, maybe she'll have more surprises coming. Anyone know the code for Pepsi Headquarters vault? We need those ringtones released. (Friday 11 April 2025; 16:39)

TEOM Aus (108,542) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Any Aussie lambs can report? Apparently the number of tracks are now visible to Australian fans. From what I'm hearing there's around 21 bonus tracks but most seem to remixes we already got as part of the EP releases or have already heard somewhere or the other. I'm hoping she has surprises. (Thursday 10 April 2025; 19:39)

TEOM announcement (108,541) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Don't play with my heart. What would be some dream collaborations for y'all. I really wish she does something with SIO, GYO and One and Only/So Lonely. No point in pushing WBT and DFAU when they already were #1s. (Thursday 10 April 2025; 19:30) this is a reply to message 108,539

TEOM announcement (108,539) by TJ from Norway What if she re-releases the album as a duet album? That would have been a lot of fun. (Thursday 10 April 2025; 06:23)

TEOM (108,522) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Woohoo. I hope we get some great stuff for the anniversary, after all it was the ultimate comeback of comebacks and iconic on so many levels. It's also the album I became a full fledged lamb with. I wonder if she'll remix some songs with new artists. Also I think she'll have new visuals because wasn't she doing a photoshoot with the same photographer a while back and then didn't use it for anything? (Sunday 6 April 2025; 15:35)

B'Day (108,472) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Your lamb card is revoked for using the B word. Happy anniversary Mimi. Please feed us some new music. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 19:29) this is a reply to message 108,465

B'Day (108,465) by Edward from USA Happy birthday, Mariah. Long live the queen. (Thursday 27 March 2025; 12:44)

Loverboy (108,224) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm cackling because what a thought hahah. Mariah was wildin' out on some of her lyrics. People think Ariana was wild with 34+35, they need to look into Mariah' s Thirst Catalogue of Spicy Jams. (Monday 17 February 2025; 15:25) this is a reply to message 108,218

Loverboy (108,218) by BFF from United States I have always wondered something about one of the lines in "Loverboy". When Mariah sings "When he invites me over, I come every time," did she mean she goes over to hang with him every time she is invited or does she mean that he brings her to orgasm every time? She was dating Luis at the time the song was recorded, so if it's the latter, he must have been loving her down. The songs lyrics give me the same vibe as the "Honey" lyrics where I am unsure if Mariah's being intentionally provocative or doing her coquettish "I'm Mary Poppins" shtick and playing dumb about the double entendres lol. (Sunday 16 February 2025; 15:22)

Tanaka and our other Mimi (108,205) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You're too sweet, I'm doing good just traveling so unable to keep up too much. I will be back soon. (Thursday 13 February 2025; 03:55) this is a reply to message 108,200

Tanaka and our other Mimi (108,200) by Bobby A from United States Tanaka did provide a sense of guidance for her performances and personal life. It was like he was the rock she could lean on to guide her on a daily basis and tell her no to some business ventures or performances. Also, Mimi we miss your sound and beautifully written analysis on the board. Where are you? I pray all is well in your world. We would love to read your comments about MC's Vegas shows and MC16. (Wednesday 12 February 2025; 19:17)

Sabrina Carpenter (108,052) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter One of my collab wish would be SC. I know Mariah loves Olivia Rodrigo (I don't follow her music much) but SC is more like Mariah, image and personality wise. Hyper feminine, cheeky, sensual but not tacky, great sense of humor etc. A fun, catchy summer or spring pop song with them on it would be fun and SC has great visuals. (Saturday 25 January 2025; 06:05)

Manifestation (108,048) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya I know GML is a fan favorite, unpopular open but I don't really listen to it haha. But I'm good with a mix of songs but I do feel at least her 1st and 2nd single should be upbeat and more catchy. And a good investment on the visuals. Bring in them celeb connections. (Friday 24 January 2025; 18:36) this is a reply to message 108,047

Manifestation (108,047) by BFF from United States I want to manifest Mariah working more with Blood Orange (Devote Hynes). I loved "Giving Me Life" on "Caution", and I loved his work with Solange Knowles on the "True" EP. I think the production on his songs (I guess you'd call his style alt-R&B/chill wave) and a more detached vocal would work well with Mariah's current voice. (Friday 24 January 2025; 16:50)

Manifestation (108,034) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm going to pull an RA and put it out there that I'm manifesting a March release or announcement in March from MC. Her new post kinda seems like she's ready to kick off a new era, she's also receiving an iHeartRadio Icon award in March. I had given up hope on a new album so I'm being cautiously optimistic. Also I hope whoever presents the award (and if there's a tribute) it's someone relevant. (Thursday 23 January 2025; 14:51)

Missing studio pics solved (107,998) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You're spot on, also why would Mariah join RocNation if she had problems with Beyoncé? We know people are put in tje "I don't know her" bowl as soon as Mariah doesn't like them. (Saturday 18 January 2025; 16:04) this is a reply to message 107,993

Missing studio pics solved (107,993) by Shezz from Pk What could Beyonce have possibly stolen from Mariah though? Doing a visual album? 15 music videos? She was already in her "mediocre and barely any videos" era she sure as hell did not have 15 planned for Miamtec (hopefully). Something doesn't add up there. Plus we know if you do Mariah wrong you don't exist for her. And Beyonce and her kids came to Mariah's Christmas concert, took pictures backstage, they hung out at the Grammy party with videos of them meeting each other very warmly. The only thing could have been the idea for a surprise release. Which would never have worked for her. (Saturday 18 January 2025; 04:38)

Missing studio pics solved (107,997) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter See this is more of what I can believe more than the post that came after you regarding a full on T Swift theft moment. I don't think Taylor Swift had any plans of stealing song concepts from Mariah. If it's similar visual I get it but I don't think Mariah would ever use MC 1989 like TS used TS 1989 on her cover since MC doesn't acknowledge time hahah but it could be she just wrote "MC Demo" and used Polaroids and has nothing to do with actual musical direction of the song. I also remember the vault controversy that came up so your theory kinda lines up. Also stated in the other post is SIO being a similar song to Mariah's song - they couldn't be farther apart - MC is a beat heavy RnB song about a cheating lover, T Swift's is a full pop song talking about what people think she's like. I am no Swiftie but in 2014 Mariah would be the farthest thing from a completion to Mariah for her to try to create comparisons, they don't even have a single song that sounds alike but there are other common titles that weren't single just like many other artists might have common singles.

Missing studio pics solved (107,992) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia The album concept that was stolen was for the "The Demo" album. Look it up on Google. The album cover would be a polaroid photo of early Mariah in the 80's. Curly hair. The writing on the album cover and back would just using black pen. All the songs would be Mariah's songs from the demo. Mariah claimed that one singer stole the visual concept using polaroid photos and using the 80's year on the album title too and that album was released at the end of 2014. Not Beyonce. So Mariah scrapped the demo album and decided to release No 1's to Infinity in early 2015. (Saturday 18 January 2025; 04:22)

Missing studio pics solved (107,964) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah I wonder if ISIL video was an attempt to make a [Breakdown] sequel. It has the similar story setting in Vegas, Mariah's a show girl, she's heartbroken, it's a beat ballad and so on. Although Breakdown song and video remains one of her best to date. I also didn't get the point of her blowing up the car haha. It's all too much. Mariah is an arsonist on the low with setting her car on fire and then her dress in "I Don't". (Saturday 11 January 2025; 06:04) this is a reply to message 107,959

Missing studio pics solved (107,959) by Bobby A from United States I don't think I Don't is MC's worst video as you are eluding to it being. Imagine 13 videos of I Stay In Love directed by Nick. I hate that video. I have only seen Daisy Duke travels to Las Vegas, but her car breaks down in the desert one time. Lol. I was not impressed with that video treatment. What were MC and Nick thinking? (Saturday 11 January 2025; 02:20)

Missing studio pics solved (107,963) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Refresh my memory please, did Taylor ever drop a demo version for that first? I can't remember, I didn't use to keep up with TS back then. But I remember her name being in the mix along with Beyoncé about who Mariah could be referring to. I know even later down the line people said she copied Mariah's "from the vault" visual. Where originally Mariah did some "from the vault" release and then Taylor used a similar visual for her re-record series? But Covid wiped out my memory so clearly I am missing chunks. (Saturday 11 January 2025; 06:00) this is a reply to message 107,958

Missing studio pics solved (107,958) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I always thought it was going to be a 1989 concept and Mariah was going to drop her demo, with the original version and then a newly recorded version exactly how she wishes her debut was produced. (Saturday 11 January 2025; 01:33)

Missing studio pics solved (107,962) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I think even as a lamb that would have been too much for me. It baffles me why a story teller like Mariah has such weak videos. Speaking of JD, I am reminded of the Facebook TAOLG release and how it ended up being the wrong version and Mariah wrote her iconic "I'm on the bathroom floor" meltdown post. (Saturday 11 January 2025; 05:56) this is a reply to message 107,957

Missing studio pics solved (107,957) by Edward from USA Are you sure you're not secretly related to Celine Dion? I agree, Mariah couldn't have pulled off something like that. Imagine 13 "I Don't" type of videos and then, for the grand finale, a half-naked mermaid moment. That would've been career suicide. Thank God she had JD to guider her. (Saturday 11 January 2025; 01:15)

Missing studio pics solved (107,956) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh my gosh yes you're right "it's all coming back to me now" hahah. I remember that, and I was thinking wait was MC really going to drop a surprise album like that's ambitious because look I love Mariah and she'll always be my #1 but she didn't have the pull to do a drop like that. Also if it was the other point of a "visual album", did we need 10-15 videos of Mariah looking beautiful and caressing herself hahah. it just didn't make sense to me at that time or even now. Beyonce's project was extremely ambitious and each of her videos were really well thought out (I may not love all of them but they were quite impressive nonetheless). So ya Mariah needs to spill the tea. (Friday 10 January 2025; 22:47) this is a reply to message 107,955

Missing studio pics solved (107,955) by Edward from USA At that time, the rumors were heavily hinting at Beyonce. She did two things no mainstream artist had done before: 1. She released an overnight, critically acclaimed, very successful surprise concept album and 2. Every track on that album came with its own video. Nothing else happening in music during that period was significant or relevant enough for Mariah to go on panic mode, confiscating portable electronic devices and putting blinders in the studio. I was just 10 back then though, so maybe I missed some major events, so don't quote me on it. (Friday 10 January 2025; 19:05)

Missing studio pics solved (107,951) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh yes the greatest mystery that was never solved. I remember Taylor Swift and Beyoncé's name coming up as the people who stole the concept but I can't remember what the theories were. One I think had to do with T Swift's 1989 having the retro polaroids promo strategy (I honestly can't remember what the theory was because I don't remember MIAM having similar strategy). If anyone remembers do share. (Friday 10 January 2025; 16:20) this is a reply to message 107,948

Missing studio pics solved (107,948) by Shezz from Pk I last remember seeing studio pics for MIAMTEC. Did she have any for Caution? I think Caution didn't have any studio pics posted. I think she stopped for two main reasons - first being around MIAM when she claimed her entire concept was stolen/lifted by another artist (who was that?). And secondly because she really doesn't want to get the lambs all worked up about an album that's been delayed over and over for whatever reason. Robert Anthony, when do you think she will drop a single (and when do you think she should)? I love hearing your theories and manifestations. (Friday 10 January 2025; 15:25)

Missing studio pics solved (107,949) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree with Edward on the two points. - I think we are seeing no photos because she hasn't been in the studio much or at all really. We've been hearing the same "I have 10 songs but I haven't recorded the vocals yet" for like 2 years now. - I don't know what she is waiting for. Any idea she has now may not be relevant in a few years time because the music industry is constantly evolving and music trends change. Plus unfortunate as it is, age is a factor and the longer she waits the smaller her target audience becomes. We don't need another "starting from scratch after scrapping all ideas" which will mean we'll get an album in 2030 haha. (Friday 10 January 2025; 16:10) this is a reply to message 107,947

Missing studio pics solved (107,947) by Bobby A from United States Edward, do you really think it's deeper than Poo Bear having a big mouth? I just can't believe MC is just writing songs in her journal and not going into the studio to lay down vocals. Maybe you are right, MC hasn't posted any studio pics because she just hasn't been inspired by anyone or even her own vocal capacities now. I hope everyday that she would post a studio pic in the booth with any producer. I would even a take a JD studio pic at this point. My original post was prompted by watching some studio videos of Robin Thicke finishing up his new album coming out in February or March. (Friday 10 January 2025; 01:02)

Article: Mariah and Anderson .Paak seen holding hands in Aspen (107,853) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do we really want Mariah X Bruno though? I mean don't get me wrong, I think Bruno is very talented and they'd complement each other vocally, but Mariah literally publicly shouted out Bruno and asked for a collab and he never responded. Leaving our queen on seen. (Wednesday 25 December 2024; 17:51) this is a reply to message 107,852

Article: Mariah and Anderson .Paak seen holding hands in Aspen (107,852) by Bobby A from United States First, I would like wish everyone a Merry Christmas today. I hope your day is filled with joy and love. Love is what we need more in this world. Second, I think Mariah and Anderson make a cute couple. Maybe Anderson is the type of man MC needs in her life. Any male who can write and sing a song like Leave The Door Open understands how to get a woman's attention. Plus, I wouldn't be suprised if Anderson is helping MC create a new sound for her next album. AP has won 5 Grammys. He is a well sought out songwriter and producer. Let's hope he is the one who can finally get MC and Bruno Mars in the studio in 2025. (Wednesday 25 December 2024; 14:29)

Passion (107,835) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh I can't even know what to say. Remember when Cardi B and another high profile person was rumored to be on that track? I think it would have absolutely slapped if she had Ariana or Rihanna on it. Like can you imagine the bad bitch energy? And then have a video with all her bad bitch girl boss friends featured in it for replay value like Rihanna, Ariana, Kim K, Naomi, Donatella Versace (ahaha if that's not the most random group of people but imagine the potential). ANN was a huge missed opportunity. The kids would have eaten it up. It's got such fun one liners and it's catchy. The "parlez vous Francaise I sad no" bit could have been viral also "snakes on the grass it's time to cut the lawn, Ed scissorhands aka I cut you off".

Passion (107,831) by Shezz from Pk Steflon Don has been like a thorn in Mimi L.'s paw since 2019 and I love her for it. It's hard to get over what the remix of A No No with the rumoured high profile features could have been. Instead we were given Teflon Pan. (Monday 23 December 2024; 16:28)

Passion (107,834) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter We love everybody hahah but we love relevant/established artists more. Don't even get me started on how I am forced to listen to the Shawni remix because that's the version that has the whistle outros that I love. Like MC would say "Why are they torturing me?"

AIWFCIY (107,828) by Pedro from Brazil According to early predictions, AIWFCIY is expected to hit #1 for an 18th week, leading Brenda by nearly 20 points. (Monday 23 December 2024; 13:21)

Passion (107,822) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm dead, not an another cookie and beverage. Hahaha. Ya I really love that her recent collabs have been with young female artists. Especially her accepting Ariana (who has always fangirled over her). Previously Mariah had an image that she's jealous of younger female artists (which I'm sure is annoying for her because she really lives in her own world and has only ever reacted because people keep trying to compare everyone to her or as her new replacement). So I'm glad she's now confident enough to embrace her role as "mother" (the gen z version for icon, not a real mother haha) and has harmonized in whistles twice with Ariana, worked with Latto (even after Latto originally said she didn't know about Fantasy) and so on. I love her in women empowerment or bad bitch type songs (yall know what I mean) so I would love some more of those with female collabs and ofcourse some fresh male collabs too. And when I saw collabs I mean relevant people not Steflon Don and all the other people she collaborated with that adds no value to me. (Sunday 22 December 2024; 19:41) this is a reply to message 107,820

Passion (107,820) by Shezz from Pk I love that her last 3 collaborations have been with female artists. That was always rare for her, it was always mostly male rappers if anyone was on a track with her. I would love to know what is going on. Why does she have so many plans simultaneously with not much coming to fruition. I am sure it is a lot more complicated than we know. Legal issues, label issues, health issues, vocal issues - we are being forced to speculate. I'm almost to the point where I wouldn't mind another cookie or beverage. Almost.
