About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,177) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love this and this is what I was hoping for. Shedding light and bringing attention to her newer material. She relies too heavily on her old music and while I get that some people are there for the more known songs, why not incorporate some new ones too so that people can discover those records?

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,168) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I get the intention being how she got from the debut to TEOM, that makes sense. I personally would have preferred a setlist that starts with It's Like That, and then shows how TEOM influenced all her albums post TEOM. Really focusing on her recent catalog, she doesn't incorporate her new music nearly enough. This would be my dream set list for this residency: ILT SIO Say Somethin' Mine again One and Only/So Lonely I Wish you Knew Get Your Number DFAU I'm That Chick Touch my Body Stay in Love Dance Remix Side Effects Love U long time Obsessed Candy Bling H.A.T.E.U #Beautiful Dedicated You're Mine (Eternal) You Don't Know what to Do Caution GTFO (edited version) The Distance A No No WBT FLAB as the closer (Sunday 14 April 2024; 22:11)

Las Vegas (106,176) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol at least Mariah is singing on her own backing track. JLo doesn't even sing on her own songs. Haha jokes aside I understand what you're saying. I wish she'd be more comfortable using her current voice but I think she's scared people will dissect it to no end.

Las Vegas (106,172) by Bill from the UK I'll always love Mariah, but a grand total of 2 minutes of actual live vocals from a 2 hour show is appalling. Mariah fans love to mock J. Lo, but Mariah herself is no better. I think I'm finally done with her now. There's nothing more to say. Good luck y'all. (Monday 15 April 2024; 09:03)

Las Vegas (106,175) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wouldn't say her popularity declined during MIAM. In fact #Beautiful could easily have been her next top 10 hit but after the accident she dropped all promo. Same with the rest of the roll out. Her delaying it due to the title being leaked, then releasing random singles with no proper treatments and no promo. People were still interested in her during this era, she just vanished.

Las Vegas (106,173) by Robert-Anthony from United States I was scratching my head after watching Xavier's video. The facade of a total package artist is front and center now. Maybe we will never see MC16 released. This is what MC used to be through the eras 1-7 1. Debut - mesmerising 2. Emotions - insane vocals 3. Music Box - mature artist 4. Daydream - confident artist 5. Butterfly - transformation 6. Rainbow - versatile artist 7. Glitter - trendsetter 8. Charmbracelet - lackluster album, vocally on point world tour 9. TEOM - the return of the voice 10. E=MC2 - still on top 11. Memoirs - sales decline 12. MIAM - popularity decline on the charts 13. Caution - critically exclaimed album and tour, high Spotify numbers, vocal decline 14. 2019-2024 - queen of Christmas, MC16 delayed constantly (Monday 15 April 2024; 10:41)

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,169) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thanks for sharing. I think I read she plays music to I Didn't mean to turn you on and Boy when she's changing. Set list looks good. I would like her to add GYN on some dates. She looks great and I know she will get more comfortable with more dates.

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,167) by Will from England The theme of the show is how she got to TEOM, from her debut and through he career to show why TEOM was and is an important album. From what I've seen there are spoken parts that are played between songs, almost like the audio book. Speaking of the show, I've been highly impressed by the presentation of the set, and how it's all put together. Her voice is supremely better than when we all saw that clip of VOL from a while back. The discussion of what is pre-recorded or lipped is tired and old - she is singing live what she can throughout the show and it sounds great. We just have to adjust to the new singing style that she is adopting and it's working from what I can see and hear. As for deep cuts, plenty of deep cuts from what I've seen. Set list is roughly and order may not be correct: VOL Emotions Make it happen Can't let go I'll be there Dreamlover/remix Hero Without you Fantasy Butterfly Babydoll The toof My all Breakdown Close my eyes Looking in (there have been some reports of a Glitter/Charmbracelet medley but I suspect that's when she is off stage) I wish you knew It's like that Shake it off Your girl Circles Say something We belong together Fly like a bird That's quite a good set list, I can only dream she decides to take this internationally.

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,166) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya I was like wow that's so random that she stops at TEOM but what you said makes sense although I think this would have been a good opportunity for her to promote some of her relatively newer albums like singing The Distance, #Beautiful, A No No etc. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 19:07) this is a reply to message 106,160

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,160) by Shezz from Pk Mimi L. from the setlist I saw (not sure how accurate it was), it seemed like she was doing an "eras" show - going along chronologically, closing with TEOM. In some ways that does seem odd that she's leaving out some great stuff from later but then that was last great "era". E=MC2 fizzled out too soon after TMB. (Sunday 14 April 2024; 05:40)

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,161) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes? (Sunday 14 April 2024; 06:13) this is a reply to message 106,159

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,159) by C from United States Huh? (Sunday 14 April 2024; 01:10)

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,156) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did we get the full set list? I'm surprised there's no DFAU. She could have done a medley of One and Only and So Lonely. I saw she started with VOL. That's odd since the show is supposed to be a celebration of TEOM and she had ILT, SIO as perfect openers. Was there a reason behind her doing older songs for a majority of the show and then TEOM later? If so why no songs from albums after TEOM? All things aside she looks stunning, the gold dress she wears at the beginning of the TEOM set was beautiful and very TEOM coded. What I loved about some of the videos are that she was walking around by herself and even did a mini almost sprint. All these visually creates a more engaging show rather than using dancers as crutches. So she'll only get better. I hope with each show she also stops relying too much on the teleprompter but as always her shows getting better with more dates. The stage looks nice and moody very TEOM coded. All things asides I think in person the show was a lot better than whatever we can see from low res videos. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 22:57) this is a reply to message 106,151

Uhmmm Mimi's deep cuts are MIA (106,151) by "MariahHater" from Hell I was hoping she will perform Mine Again, GYN, One and Only, DFAU and ILT. Orrrr she is doing some reimagined versions of these songs. Idk. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 13:52)

Article: Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey are dating? (106,155) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Friends become lovers all the time. Although I'm not saying it's 100% true but they would make quite a power couple. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 22:38) this is a reply to message 106,149

Article: Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey are dating? (106,149) by Jamie from UK Mariah and Lenny have been friends for years. I highly doubt they are in a relationship. Rather just media speculation. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 13:09)

Article: Mariah Carey adds dates to her Las Vegas' residency run (106,145) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm honestly secretly happy JLo is finally exposed by masses because she was always known to steal songs and not sing on her own records and be very rude but her team always manages to sweep it under the rug and make her out to be a big deal shifting the focus on her glam looks and fashion moments. Now it's all over how she's so shady. It's satisfying that it's also happening when she has so much hanging on her relevance (since she spent 20 million of her own money on the new projects). Karma is real because she was instrumental in bringing dragging Mariah when Mariah was at her lowest and then claim she had no idea and paints Mariah to be the stuck up one.

Article: Mariah Carey adds dates to her Las Vegas' residency run (106,139) by Zachariah from Croatia This is so satisfying to read. While J.Lo is cancelling dates, Mariah adds them. (Friday 12 April 2024; 08:15)

No new music until 2030 (106,144) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Personally if she's still working out things on the business side I'd rather her not make promises of new music because then it could be anywhere between months to years that we'd hear of new music. I want her to figure stuff out behind the scenes before she gets our hopes up. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 03:55) this is a reply to message 106,140

No new music until 2030 (106,140) by Robert-Anthony from United States You may be right, but I hope not until 2030. If she would just say new music is on the way when I work through some things on the business side, then it would ease our minds. (Friday 12 April 2024; 11:31)

Article: Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey are dating? (106,143) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Woah finally a high profile relationship and someone who'd understand a star of her calibre. (Saturday 13 April 2024; 03:53)

The Emancipation of Mimi (106,124) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ahh yus TEOM, the era I became a full lamb. What a legendary moment in history. (Sunday 7 April 2024; 21:57) this is a reply to message 106,122

The Emancipation of Mimi (106,122) by Robert-Anthony from United States This week we will celebrate the best album rollout of MC's career 19 years ago. I have so many memories of TEOM leading up to the release day. It will always be MC's most celebrated album release that makes other album releases today seem small in comparison. How many streaming records would TEOM have broken that first week? Will MC ever release another album like TEOM again? (Sunday 7 April 2024; 14:43)

Mariah and Janet (106,119) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "The One" would have been a better choice. And it was the original choice. The video for Boy was for "The One" but I think the label made her change it because I remember a video where someone asks her about The One and she says something like you should ask the label I want it to be a single. I also love the remix of The One. (Saturday 6 April 2024; 15:20) this is a reply to message 106,118

Mariah and Janet (106,118) by Jamie from UK Janet's song is far superior than Boy, it's upbeat and catchy. Whilst I like Boy, it lacks something and wasn't radio friendly. (Saturday 6 April 2024; 11:05)

Happy forever 12 Edward (106,113) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Happy anniversary Edward. I hope you have the best day. (Friday 5 April 2024; 22:36) this is a reply to message 106,112

Happy forever 12 Edward (106,112) by Edward from USA Thank you, TJ. I appreciate it. (Friday 5 April 2024; 18:54)

Mariah and Janet (106,102) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow have you guys seen this? The video concept is so similar, Japanese futuristic styles, robots, driving in a futuristic city etc. The songs have similar vibes too. (Thursday 4 April 2024; 16:53)

New single (106,098) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I'm dead. I agree. Like if Mariah would have flat out said that she's not working on any new material right now I would have accepted, but she went on multiple interviews promising various projects coming out "soon" over the last 2-3 years so that makes it annoying. Like from her own words we heard about TBL, concept album, gospel album, some jazz stuff, new album almost ready and so much more, yet we get random announcements like a residency.

New single (106,097) by Shezz from Pk I saw the insider's post about it but I didn't quite see what Mariah had liked. Now it makes sense. If Mariah doesn't want us to follow these people for the crumbs we get from them she better come out and release something soon. I'm starting to feel like old Rose from Titanic. Soon it'll be 84 years and the insider's grand daughter who will have taken over the account will be promising this summer it is coming for real. (Wednesday 3 April 2024; 10:29)

New single (106,095) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Shezz did you see Mariah recently threw "shade" the insider account? Someone subtweeted the insiders post talking about how Mariah's music is coming soon and she has a video ready with big stars and hasn't rested at all. The subtweet had the caption "source: voices in my head" and Mariah "liked" that tweet. So I wonder if that means she's dismissing the account's claims.

New single (106,092) by Shezz from Pk The fan account did say the next day it was an April Fools thing. The insider account says she is set to make her long awaited come back this month. I hope that means a single, not her Vegas residency because she has been performing. Also, the insider says MC16 is a return to pop for MC with a lot of uptempo, disco and euro dance numbers. I hope that's true. She's not gotten anywhere with her midtempo RnB for a while now. Butterfly Lounge on the other hand is a total jazz project. How exciting is that? I have a feeling she will drop something soon either right before or right after Vegas. (Tuesday 2 April 2024; 17:01)

New single (106,091) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I saw it on Instagram but I'm sure it was an April Fools post. (Tuesday 2 April 2024; 13:27) this is a reply to message 106,087

New single (106,087) by Terna from Nigeria So I saw this post on Twitter saying her new single is gonna drop on Friday entitled "Panic The City". Any of you guys see something similar to this? It was by one of her "Lambies" accounts that may have insider information. (Tuesday 2 April 2024; 09:18)

Taking risks (106,082) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love that Mariah is feeling herself. She is taking small risks personally that she said she would never do. Like being photographed from her "bad side", jumping on Ariana's remix and now sporting a red lip. I remember her saying multiple times she doesn't wear red lipstick because it doesn't suit her yet here we have her this year posting 2 photos wearing it. Glad to see she's taking over her insecurities one small thing at a time. (Monday 1 April 2024; 04:35)

Academy recognising Glitter (106,076) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Glitter is getting the recognition it deserves hahah, the Academy's page posted this clip from Glitter. (Sunday 31 March 2024; 17:13)

Is Mariah Carey popular? (106,073) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes it's not completely surprising that Mariah is ranked above Taylor. Taylor is current news, Mariah is eternal news. Since her debut she's been relevant and in headlines whether it's because of her voice, her changing musical genre, her changing looks, her up and down with Tommy, her breakdown, her shades, her #1s and her Christmas dominance. Mariah may not sell as much nowadays but her accumulated relevance is major and of course she's had more years than Taylor. Let's not forget that even though Taylor is untouchable now this wasn't the case before. So spent a majority of her career being considered a "teen icon" and then with the Kanye and Famous drama everyone dropped her. It took her years to build up to the fame she has now and finally now she's broken out of the "teen market" too mass market. Let's also not forget that just a few years back Taylor had to release 100 versions of 1 single to compete with a 20 year old Christmas song only to be dropped after 1 week. Even now she is setting up the release of her next album with 4-5 different versions and no this isn't a "deluxe" or "extended" version like every artist does. She is putting 1 exclusive song in each album to nudge her fans to buy all to "complete their collection". Taylor undoubtedly is a massive player in the music industry and thank God she's talented but Mariah is in a legends zone. (Sunday 31 March 2024; 03:07) this is a reply to message 106,071

Is Mariah Carey popular? (106,071) by Libra Lamb from USA Mariah Carey was working hard to get her debut album out when Taylor Swift was in infant diapers, I'd say she's got a lot more years on her and more people know her impressive body of work than Taylor Swift's. I'm not denying the star power of Taylor at all, I think she's phenomenal even though I personally don't care for her music. And also I don't know how they measured the popularity contest. I'm just saying that I bet the article is right to place MC ahead of her. We love everybody. (Saturday 30 March 2024; 21:16)

"Of course" trend (106,055) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This "I'm a Mariah Carey fan" version of the "Of course" trend is so iconic I love it. The Mariah-isms are iconic. I'm dying at the "of course I run out of the frame at the end of the video" with her signature hand under chin wave and running out of frame in her social media videos and also the "of course I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so" and leaning against the wall with arms stretched haha. So iconic. (Thursday 28 March 2024; 14:01)

New photos (106,053) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The new photo and video she dropped wearing the sparkly dress. Wow just stunning. She looks incredible. She looks so young and fresh like a cross between Rainbow and Einstein Mariah. (Thursday 28 March 2024; 03:14)

Photoshoot (106,050) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah is out here looking like a mermaid. First of all I don't think I've ever seen her in this shade of blue. She looks great. But I wonder if she's doing a professional shoot. Because she's fully done up. Like usually in Mariah's vacation photos she has her natural girls and no makeup. Here she's full done hair and makeup and not only that she's wearing darker eye makeup. Plus she's in a gown. (Wednesday 27 March 2024; 23:09)

Happy anniversary (106,041) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Happy Anniversary Mariah dahlin'. Hope you have the most fabulous day. Thank you for being the soundtrack to our lives (Wednesday 27 March 2024; 03:02) this is a reply to message 106,039
