About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Shaderoom Ig meme of Honey causes drama (77,338) (77,339) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I saw another one, here is the link. It's "when you're at work and the manager is watching you vs when he walks away" meme comparing her previous "Honey" routine and the failed one. (Friday 21 July 2017; 01:48)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey performs in final Las Vegas residency show (77,322) (77,330) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Terna, I appreciate that you see the good in bad situations but seriously? You really believe this is a plan? Come on now. It's very likely a "new" Mariah will indeed emerge in a few months, but that won't be because "this was planned to stage a comeback". It will probably (and Lord I pray it happens) because the bubble she's put herself in has burst, she finally realized what a mess her career has been for a while now and finally decided to take the right steps (hire a professional team, a good PR personnel, a smart manager, a vocal coach, a stylist). As for her weight, either ways, if she has a album coming out, she'll lose her weight before that because she does it before big promotions, it's nothing new. So no, while it is very likely possible that she'll have a career comeback, she'll drop weight and she'll slay her performances, it won't be because all these (the mess and the fails) have been due to some master plan, it will only be because Mariah will finally wake up.

Re: I don't have a subject (77,323) (77,329) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That photo is probably from her last run at Vegas, not this one. Because the hair and all is different. I mean it is likely from one of the shows from 2016. I think another version of the photo minus Bryan was used for one of her concert promos. (Thursday 20 July 2017; 22:12)

Re: All part of a big comeback? (77,308) (77,319) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Nah team Mariah has never been one to have a major strategy in place in years now. And now especially with Stella running the show, it's even more messy. Mariah is probably just tired of doing shows and tired in general but they already booked her into these so she's going through it. If anything ever since NYE fail (and no I'm not blaming her completely, I'm just saying it was a disaster), all her focus should have been on highlighting her vocals, showing people she can still sing. And it's not like she didn't have good performances since then, but they weren't always steady. So on top of that, if she continues putting in lack lustre performances, it will damage her image further. (Thursday 20 July 2017; 14:51)

I don't have a subject (77,318) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I know this photo is already attached to the article Eric posted but I just wanted to say that she looks so beautiful here. Every bit the diva and superstar that she is. Her hair looks gorgeous as well. She looks like she's the same age as Bryan here. I honestly would have been cool with Bryan and Mariah actually dating had I not had to endure the mess that was Mariah's World and not known what a leech Bryan is. I mean the guy is cute and I can understand that they might flirt and have feelings for each other but since this whole "relationship" was launched as a publicity tool for MW and then when you thought it couldn't get worse, you actually were show terribly scripted scenes on MW, one can't stop but cringe. Anyways, just wanted to say Mariah looks like a Barbie in this particular photo. (Thursday 20 July 2017; 14:30)

Stop singing my part now baby (77,317) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha so this dude was on stage for TMB and he pulled the iconic "stop singing my part now baby". Don't know if even Mariah remembers saying this, it was hilarious. (Thursday 20 July 2017; 14:25)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey performs in final Las Vegas residency show (77,306) (77,310) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya I don't care what size Mariah is, the only issue is she doesn't dress right. Also I don't really get why she always wears bodysuits nowadays since it's not like she's breaking into an intense choreography. I get wearing one for "Honey" because that's paying homage to the video. I also loved her first SSFT bodysuit (not the second one which looked like a bejeweled swimsuit) but nowadays it's like all her stage clothes are bodysuits. In this Vegas leg alone I think she had 4 bodysuits (the "Honey" pink one, the nude gold, the bejeweled one with the skirt and the red on with those long string like things). She can wear cute flirty mini dresses, or pant suits or anything but I honestly don't get the point of bodysuits anymore especially now that she doesn't even move much. Get a stylist Mariah. Stop letting Mishka dress you. (Thursday 20 July 2017; 12:33)

Re: Searching for Neverland (77,285) (77,286) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Everytime I hear that Michael was killed (which we always knew) so these fools could cash in on it, it just hurts and angers me more and more. I mean this was always suspected but with the evidence, it just makes it more real and it pisses me off so much because this man did not deserve this. He deserved to live a long happy life, with his beautiful children and possibly away from the spotlight, if that's even possible for a man at the level of fame that he was on. Such a kind, generous man, who gave his all to bring entertainment in to the lives of millions around the world, for multiple decades. This is why I get frustrated with Mariah too because I see parallels, I feel like she trusts the wrong people like Michael did. She has isolated herself like Michael did and she only has her babies, who are too young to know better. She also seems over worked now (people can laugh all they want at the "Honey" video that went viral recently but she just looks resigned and tired to me). She has been booked on stuff below her status. I just hope she gets out of this, takes some time off with her babies and if she feels later that she wants to continue with show business then do so, or just live your life away from the spotlight, no need to please anyone.

Re: Despacito (77,280) (77,282) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Features or not if an artist is credited on a song, and the song goes to #1, it will be counted as their #1. So Rihanna for now has a total of 14 #1's. Like in Mariah's case, "Heartbreaker" counts as a #1 for both Mariah and Jay-Z, "OSD" will count for both Mariah and Boyz II Men. (Wednesday 19 July 2017; 10:28)

Re: Searching for Neverland (77,279) (77,281) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Searching For Neverland" was pretty good and I agree, they kept the shock factor completely away and instead focused on showing the real Michael, something his friends and family always describe him as but the GP didn't know. They show the real person that Michael was instead of the larger than life persona, which was nice. (Wednesday 19 July 2017; 10:24)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,277) (77,278) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Even though Brett is responsible for bringing 2 different dramas (Stella and Packer) in Mariah's life, he still has experience in his field and has a decent repuatation doing A list movies and work. The same can't be said about Stella but I'm guessing Stella won't really have much of role except to get her name in for no reason. At least that's what I'm hoping because if left to her, Mishka will play a young Mimi. And Sasha a younger Mimi. I'm not too worried about Brett, he is experienced. Also I hear "Starz" is a very reputable network and wouldn't approve any messy projects. Now I just need Mariah to try not to be too dramatic with the story. What I'm pretty sure of is though that this probably won't be an autobiographical series. It'll probably just be loosely based, but I hope the cheesiness is kept to a minimum and same for the added drama. (Wednesday 19 July 2017; 00:27)

Re: Article: Mariah to executive produce tv drama based on her life story (77,271) (77,275) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah may demand to play Mariah, starting from her teenage days because she is eternally 12. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 20:32)

Article: Diva Mariah Carey can barely muster energy to move (77,270) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was hoping it's going to stay in "The Shade Room" because not many people are subscribed to that, as in not many people I personally know. But it has made it's way into "9Gag" and everyone I know is subscribed to that page so now there's no stopping this video. On "9Gag" it's labelled "me doing the absolute bare minimum at work". I'm done. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 18:57)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,265) (77,268) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha when I read the title of the article on insta, my first thought was "here we go again". Because I thought this will be another cheesy, heavily scripted mess. But then I saw the people involved and it gives me hope. Stella of course has to get her untalented self in it somehow, but I can tolerate that as long as she keeps her opinions and ideas to herself. I don't really know what to think of a "scripted drama loosely based on Mariah's real life" will be. Is it like a "Glitter" moment or what? I guess we'll have to wait and see. For now, I'll stay hopeful and wish she makes it a good quality show, something that is not only targeted towards ratchet teens. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 17:21)

Re: Game of Thrones (77,263) (77,267) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wish I could say you are wrong, but your post is spot on (as always) and I guess when the time comes, after rambling for a few days (years) I will accept it, but for now I'll enjoy Mariah's reign. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 17:16)

Re: Despacito (77,262) (77,266) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I'm a selfish brat when it comes to Mariah so here's what would be the ideal scenario for me. I'll let "Despacito" stay on top for 4 more weeks, letting it tie with WBT and some other songs that are stuck in 14 weeks (I say that as if being on top for 14 weeks consecutively is a small thing, haha Mariah spoiled me too much). Anyways so ya let Bieber stay there for 4 more weeks, by that time I hope WT loses it's momentum and bam on the 15th week "Despacito" is replaced by another song. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 17:14)

Re: Mariah Carey drama series based on her life (77,246) (77,253) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am going to watch this too (heck I watched MW and gave lengthy weekly summaries so I'm not the most credible one around here), but I hope they keep it real and Mariah doesn't try to make herself look as a victim throughout. She has had her hurdles, more than her share, so just stick to that instead of added drama. The fact that it has people involved who were previously involved in reputable projects (everyone except Stella), is kind of a relief and gives me hope that this won't be a mess like MW. I wonder who'll play Mariah. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 13:14)

Re: Despacito (77,249) (77,252) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I heard this week "Wild Thoughts" is at #2, so that's scary, I was hoping Justin would keep the top 2 spots for a bit longer. Rihanna can never be Mariah, but that is more the reason why I don't want her to be the one to break Mariah's record. Like I would be fine if someone who can actually sing well do that. So I'm cool with Beyonce, or Adele or anyone with a singing talent that breaks the record (although selfish me would hope Mariah keeps it always), but yes, I really don't want it to be Rihanna. No hate to Rihanna, I think she's a fashion icon, I love her devil may care attitude, I think she's a beautiful woman, but I'm not here for her dethroning Mariah's record.

Article: Braless Mariah Carey unloads mega cleavage (77,103) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Top notch article about exactly what a legend needs to be written about. (Friday 14 July 2017; 02:14)

Re: Why you mad at Mariah? (77,081) (77,087) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I understand your views and I respect them, but saying this board is negative, you should visit some of the other ones. UKMix for example had to be blocked 4-5 times just because of all the mess that went down with people fat shaming her, picking apart her videos by critiquing every note she hits (or misses), then the whole Celine drama. Then other boards, which I have not visited but heard they go really in on Mariah like lipstick alley and this other one that starts with an "A" I forgot. I'd say comparatively this board in particular is more tame since Eric screens the messages and then posts them. There have been many times when he out right didn't approve posts because they have been very disrespectful towards Mariah. Here on this board people may say a little "oh Mariah didn't sound good last night" or "oh she really needs to be more serious" whereas on other boards they'll rip apart every note she missed, then they'll start sharing photos comparing how her body is different from what it was 6 months back, 10 months back and so on. Basically my point it I find it a little surprising when people (and I don't mean you in particular) say that this particular board is rude/ disrespectful/ insensitive/ depressing. We are all concerned because the Mariah we see now is not what she said she is. It's a legitimate reason to worry because we've already seen way too many artist face bad consequences after some concerning situations in their lives. Anyways, I hope you understand my post was meant to defend the board and not attack you. Sorry for the rambling mess, I was just writing on a whim. (Thursday 13 July 2017; 12:32)

Re: Biggest concern (77,061) (77,067) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oops my last reply was to Bill's message, I think I accidentally used the reply on Andrew's message. Sorry. (Wednesday 12 July 2017; 12:14)

Re: Biggest concern (77,059) (77,066) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yup I agree, she should have been rehearsing enough so that her voice stays consistent from the first show. I keep hearing this "oh don't worry her voice will improve after the third or fourth show", especially on UKMix, and I'm like how is that fair to the people on the first few shows? It's not like they are getting a discount for being the trial audience. From what it looks like, before every leg, Mariah is on vacation right up until the date of the first show. Now her being on vacation is fine but she should at least start rehearsing a few days ahead of time. (Wednesday 12 July 2017; 12:12)

Re: JLo on Catfish (77,057) (77,065) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha yes and the Kardashian spoofs are so accurate. (Wednesday 12 July 2017; 12:08)

JLo on Catfish (77,046) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You all really need to watch this. I was laughing away. (Tuesday 11 July 2017; 19:54)
