About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Bryan's World season two (71,659) (71,662) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It will never be "Bryan's World", it will always be "Stella's World". Bryan was just the "flavor of the season (1)". A side piece (in all senses). (Friday 27 January 2017; 1:50)

Re: Everyone asking: why open for Lionel? (71,655) (71,657) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha our friend here has some serious high quality, designer rose colored glasses on. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 22:02)

Re: New song: Side Effects comparison / The Weekend (71,652) (71,656) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The SE comparisons came from a fan on UKMix, not Mariah's team so we can't be sure. Also as far as we know Mariah never mentioned (nor was she spotted) being in the studio with The Weeknd. The only time we saw them together was when she attended Leo DiCaprio's fund raiser. The track that will be released soon is a collaboration with YG and JD. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 21:56)

Re: Everyone asking: why open for Lionel? (71,649) (71,651) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'll drink what this dude's drinking. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 17:53)

Song spoilers (71,640) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter According to this one person on UKMix who has heard the song, it's apparently like "Side Effects" but a little more "songy" (their words, not mine), so maybe they mean instead of the rap-sing, it's more of a "sing-sing"? Also the beat is supposedly more "ratchet" than SE, like something you'd hear on "Power" (the TV show). "The lyrics will get some hashtag", this was pretty much exactly the line used by the person, assuming it's be something like how Bruno says "hashtag blessed" in "24K Magic", but I really can live without a hashtag being involved. I love SE personally and I love the dark, haunting music it comes with, same with BGK, I would love for her to go in that direction but then again we've heard "Infamous" being compared to her old songs and "Infinity" being touted as the same level as WBT, so I'll wait and see what the song sounds like. Hopefully it will be good. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 10:15)

MW sneak peaks (71,636) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This video of Mariah and Tanaka is just so cringe worthy, like why should she even approve these? Mariah clearly can't even keep a straight face with the ridiculous script and Tanaka should just stick to his day job of dancing and not even try with acting. The script looks like it's written by an 8 year old. So corny and cheesy and using one of Mariah's most personal and beautiful songs for this mess? The level of disrespect. Ok so this second clip pretty much confirms Bryan has this one very specific face that he makes when he is on a script, with his jaws clenched and a slightly visible pout. Also Bryan, do you really want the reputation of being the dude who sleeps his way to the top? I guess it doesn't matter, any publicity works. Finally some studio related talk in the third clip, this must eventually lead to the new single. (Thursday 26 January 2017; 2:38)

Re: Mariah Wonderwall (71,629) (71,633) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Isn't that from Wale's verse in YDWTD? (Thursday 26 January 2017; 1:46)

Re: Video preview (71,611) (71,620) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh Lord, the level of creativity, I just can't. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 22:09)

Re: Article: Singer Mariah Carey's net worth seems like a fantasy (71,612) (71,619) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Her finances were taken over by a member of the Bulochnikov family. Both her accounts and legal sides. I do hope though that she personally keeps an eye on her finances. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 22:07)

Re: New music video (71,614) (71,618) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This will probably be a "in studio" video like OSD or "Angels Cry". Also #Beautiful was almost completely shot in front of a green screen so that explains the long post production process. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 22:04)

Re: I think you're a [censored] (71,602) (71,605) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think we can safely assume she's be wearing a fishnet and corset in the video because she was seen only wearing a corset and fishnet under her trench coat when she stepped out for dinner with YG, which apparently happened right after they recorded the song and shot the video haha. Also did you notice the ring is back? As in the Packer ring. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 14:37)

Break up anthem (71,601) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'd like this to be more like BGK, "Side Effecs", "Thanx 4 Nothin" than "Infinity" or "Thirsty". Heck, I'd love another song like SIO too, with a catchy chorus that you can sing along too. As much as I love TAOLG, I don't think it'll work for her right now. I hope they make an effort to give this a proper roll out and release the video soon after or with the audio, unlike "Infinity". During "Infinity" both MC and Brett gushed about how they have an epic music video and there were all these leaked stories about it having actions sequences and involving helicopters and what not, then it turned into a messy video. In fact they said they had the video ready and would release it with the audio but then after the audio release they said the video was not even filmed and the rest is history. Try and make and effort to have this song have some impact and get some recognition, don't just leave it mid way and then later chalk it up as a song "just for the lambs" or a song "just for MW".

Re: I think you're a [censored] (71,593) (71,598) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Also, it's not like Mariah just sits there and drinks without sharing, she's generous with the bubbly. And don't pretend like this shot isn't the most anticipated mystery reveal of 2017. Call me when your favorite has the guts to turn a "tour documentary" into an "unscripted" real life drama. Freaking innovator right there. Until then lose my number, y'all are haters, Mariah is on fire and ever since Queen Stella came in the picture, Mariah has been more relevant than ever. The cash keeps flowing in, the haters keep hating on. [censored] If you're not 12 years old, we don't need you in our lambily. (Wednesday 25 January 2017; 11:40)

Re: New single in 5 days (71,577) (71,585) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ribbon B you are on fire with the title and chorus lyric already in place. Are you co-writing this song or what? Will the video have substance or will it be another vanity shots moment? (Tuesday 24 January 2017; 20:16)

Re: Barbie maker Stan Bobby scared Mariah (71,568) (71,584) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It wasn't a scary doll to be honest, in fact it was quite nice and detailed. Let me attach the pictures of the 2 dolls, like Lila said, apparently Mariah wanted the first doll, and I would believe that since it's a nice Barbie and something Mariah would like, but he refused to give it. The dolls are painted by this talented guy with the instagram by the name "cyguy83". I also saw the video of Mariah taking the crown from Bobby and putting it on her head while wishing him on his birthday. Plus there are several photos of him of at different meet and greets with Mariah and in all of them they are in playful poses, holding hands (unlike the usual ones we see of her and the fan just standing) and there is one of Mariah actually letting him kiss her on the cheeks, which to be honest I haven't seen her allow anyone else during M&G to kiss her. He was also featured in MW, so if they had a problem with him, I don't think they would show him. Mariah can be seen saying "I love you too Bobby". He was brought up on stage during TMB at Vegas. Now I don't know what went down but if her security team did say that (and Sheila isn't the only one who gave this account, I think I read somewhere else too that her security said M just tolerates him) then there must be more to the story. Here are the photos of the doll, This is the original one I believe, this is version 1 of the Beacon doll and this is version 2. (Tuesday 24 January 2017; 20:14)

Re: Tanaka will be the new "Honey"? (71,573) (71,574) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The video that is usually shown after the MW episodes as a "still to come" sequence, is more flattering, she has her hair open and all and there is a kissing moment but anyways in that part she looks better than the leaked pictures. She seems to be wearing the same outfit too. (Tuesday 24 January 2017; 17:03)

Re: Tanaka will be the new "Honey"? (71,565) (71,570) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter True but I was hoping that a lot of people didn't see the embarrassment that is MW so they wouldn't know what went on there however everyone saw those embarrassing beach photos so at least that can cover it up. But ya basically nothing can really make up for all the missteps and stunts they pulled recently. Also, this whole new music thing should have been announced via Billboard and not TMZ but then again Stella will probably announce everything through TMZ. (Tuesday 24 January 2017; 15:59)

Tanaka will be the new "Honey"? (71,561) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I was thinking since they'll preview this music next week, it's possible they preview the video next week on MW and the beach photos that leaked were actually her and Tanaka shooting the music video for this new song and paying homage to the "Honey" music video beach scene? Lord please let that be true because then I'll at least have the peace of knowing MC didn't just stage a cringe worthy photo shoot just for the sake of publicity since we saw her checking out the photos with the photographer. (Tuesday 24 January 2017; 13:22)

Re: New single in 5 days (71,557) (71,559) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I was thinking whether that would be enough to make you watch at least one episode. Stella basically sent me here to get you on board the MW train. Darn it Licia, you're blocking my income. (Tuesday 24 January 2017; 12:59)

New single in 5 days (71,555) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Apparently (according to TMZ) Mariah, YG and JD have come up with a mid tempo break up anthem. They recorded it on Saturday and have already shot a music video for it. It'll be previewed on MW's next episode. (Tuesday 24 January 2017; 11:59)

Re: Barbie fan is who caused meet and greet drama (71,542) (71,543) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh darn, I'm off social media until I'm done with exams. But if anyone does DM Bobby then please do share the message here (with his permission of course), because I'd really like to know what happened. I remember seeing the pictures of the doll's "in the making" process and I thought it was beautiful. But then when I heard something went wrong during the meet and greet I was a little surprised. By the way, were you by any chance also the person who made merchandise with the "I don't know her" tag line and Stella said she'll pay for it but when you delivered it she didn't pay up? Or was that someone else? (Monday 23 January 2017; 21:53)

Re: New music (71,537) (71,541) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I personally really love "Triumphant", but I get why it was failure. People were waiting for years for a Mariah comeback single and she ended up being a hook girl on her own song, so fans were turned off. This time she should keep that in mind. Also I'm hearing this "new music will be out soon" since March 2015 and I honestly don't want another MIAM situation where fans were worn down by all the studio pictures and gearing up for the album release in 2012, then 2013 and then 2014 and then again it being delayed for months and by that time every one lost interest.

Re: Vision Of Love or We Belong Together (71,528) (71,540) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Definitely WBT for me. I really never really loved or reached for VOL. (Monday 23 January 2017; 20:51)

Re: Barbie fan is who caused meet and greet drama (71,532) (71,539) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey, was it you who made the Barbie for Mariah? I'd really like to know what went so wrong for them to have to involve the security. Do you mind telling your side of the story? (Monday 23 January 2017; 20:50)

Re: Mariah's world (71,529) (71,530) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter When announcing the show, they made it sound like they'll show a different side of Mariah, the side the lambs knew but the GP don't. Like how Mariah isn't really a big diva and that's an act and behind the scenes she's actually a brilliant songwriter and extraordinary singer and that she's not a ditzy diva who's only materialistic but then they waste it by pouring fuel over what the public already thinks about Mariah. I get that since the show is on E. they might have to add some scripted stuff for fun, but that shouldn't have covered 98% of the whole show with only 2% real stuff. First of all this should have been on HBO and it should have been a proper documentary but Stella doesn't have the reach or the brains. Also they are trying to cater to her so called core audience which is supposedly 12 year olds according to what Stella said multiple times. All in all with some of the stuff that we've already seen in the past few years, I wouldn't be surprised if she goes down Madonna route soon. It's sad that such a classy and mysterious super star has become this over exposed celebrity with so many cringe worth moments that seem to show that she is almost sabotaging her own career and image at this point.
