About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Mimi L / Stella / NYE performance (70,560) (70,579) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha, dahlin' Stella can take her middle finger and shove it up her behind. I'm so sick of her and her childish antics. Did you see the recent quotes she's sending TMZ and Us Weekly? I just can't. (Monday 2 January 2017; 0:33)

Stella blaming ABC and Dick Clark's Production (70,577) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella (and we know it's her because she used TMZ) claims that DC Production and ABC wanted to sabotage Mariah for ratings. Woman clearly doesn't know how to handle a mega star because now she will be burning a lot of bridges. Mariah's team back in Rockefeller was clever enough not make such claims with NBC, even though clearly someone from there leaked it. Stella is claiming there were a lot of red flags and how they complained before the show that the ear monitor wasn't working but they avoided her. Since then DC Production has given a statement saying that Team Mariah is being silly with the sabotage claims especially since Mariah never came in for the sound check and used a stand in instead and that apparently there were 8 active on stage monitors amplifying the sound so Mariah could hear the music regardless of the ear monitor. Now I don't know if Stella is being paranoid or there really was some problem but rule of the business is that you don't just start a fight with a major television network. The fact that they exposed that there were 8 monitors on stage so Mariah could hear fine is bad for Mariah. Keep in mind Mariah complained the monitors were off and they also played the album version of WBT which Mariah wouldn't have used even if she planned to lip sync. So something is definitely amiss. Since DC is claiming that Mariah's team provided the track list, it might also happen that her team messed up the track list (and will anyone really be surprised at that considering they didn't know there are time differences between countries?). Anyways somebody messed up but instead of playing the blame games by directly firing at a big production house/network, the more ideal thing to do was for her to just say she had technical issues (without saying whose fault it is) and then going on an unplugged show or sing a few A Capella songs, book a major TV appearance, even if she has to pay for it, like the Grammy's and just prove her voice and her ability. Stella you are so dense. This is why a reality show producer can't be a manager. Go take some management courses at least. Going to TMZ crying wolf every time won't work. You are ruining Mariah dumb head. Who is writing these statements? Mishka? I'm so sick of the childish crybaby moves her team plays every time. Nick Cannon. Sabotage (won't let Mariah get married). James Packer, sabotage (trying to tarnish Mariah's image post break up). ABC. Sabotage. Calm down, no one will buy this. You have only made things worse. First ABC will now have bad blood with MC and second they'll make their own statements and that obviously won't put Mariah in a good light. I hope this stops right here and does not drag on for months like the Carey Packer one sided feud. Stella is such an immature crybaby. Look in instead of blaming people outside. If you all have the least bit of self respect, step down and allow Mariah to get a team she deserves. (Sunday 1 January 2017; 21:58)

Stella (70,550) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella is probably out there telling Mariah "No they are not tearing your image to shreds, no they are not, no they are not. Listen Mariah, my sister wife, we are two strong independent women, we go hard. We need to empower each other and empower our daughters (the deal with you launching Mishka is still on right?) Those people out there are haters, we don't know them. We are real friends. You're on fire. Don't change a thing about yourself (and more important don't change your team). We work hard, we play hard. Shout out to all the single moms out there. Let's talk about love, laughter and light and get ready to kick some f****** ass. You're the best, you're perfect, you're so beautiful, no one understands you. Let's go to Paris and enjoy some time off, and wait let me ask my whole family to join in." Also Stella will probably be contacted by tabloids/news outlets for quotes about what happened to Mariah on stage and she'll give the usual "Lose my number, eff off, Mariah's on fire." (Sunday 1 January 2017; 14:58)

Re: NYE performance (70,541) (70,544) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Does that ear piece in Stella's ear even work or is it her jst playing music and pretending to talk. Anyways Stella can't fire anyone because she won't fire family. Why on earth was Mishka on stage with Mariah during the countdown with all the celebs? Why was she there even after Mariah left? Fame hungry leeches. (Sunday 1 January 2017; 14:44)

What happened? (70,543) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't understand how this could happen. For those asking why she couldn't sing even with the ear piece malfunctioning (even though she did it many times before), I don't know much about live settings but from what I've gathered, both her ear piece and the on stage monitor was off. So basically she couldn't hear anything except for the audience yelling. Had her ear piece malfunctioned but the onstage monitor still on she could have pulled it through. The few words she sang were probably from cues she picked up from the dancers around her. However, now the question is why did this happen? Did she not rehearse? Didn't she post a picture a while before the show about her rehearsals? How did they not realize it then? Also it just breaks my heart that every time Mariah is on live TV, something big goes wrong, whereas she keeps slaying at events and concerts no one knows about. Also, let's suppose that they realized the mistake through Emotions, could someone not have switched the ear phone back on by the time WBT rolled around? I almost had a heart attack when they started playing the album version of WBT for her to lip sync to, I was like . Even Mariah was like "that's the album version". She completely gave up on stage. At this point Mariah should really considering starting afresh with a new team. Mariah there has been way too many mishaps these last 2 years for you to ignore. Let the DC mishap be the last disaster and leave it behind in 2016, with 2017, please get more professional, with yourself and your team. (Sunday 1 January 2017; 14:38)

NYE disaster (70,519) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I woke up to the picture of Mariah looking great in that black outfit on her instagram, I don't know if it was Balmain, but it was exactly the type of Balmain dresses I have been wanting her to wear (I mean the style) so I then went to UKMix and saw fans having meltdown after meltdowns, With one party saying how they are crying and upset about what happened while the other party is going in on Mariah bashing her. I read those and it got me scared to watch the video but then I was like, wait a minute, Mariah fans always have meltdowns whenever Mariah makes the slightest mistakes on stage so I'm sure it's not that bad, I mean they must be exaggerating when they said she was just standing there and talking while her songs were playing. So I opened the video and throughout the video I was sitting there staring, jaw almost hitting the floor, this can't be true. Until finally I came to the end where Mariah says "It don't get any better" and I ended up crying. It looked like she was about to cry too, it was clear she was just holding it in because her years of media training didn't let her lose it on stage but I guess she should have just let it out because people are really coming for her now. This is even worse that the Rockefeller performance. I don't know who to blame at this point, I'm just so upset. I was praying this wouldn't be a Rockefeller moment and this turned out worse. It's just such a tragic way to end 2016 especially considering that between 2015 and 2015 she has been touring/singing live more than she possibly did in her entire career, so you'd expect she would be confident to go at it live during a public appearance. I was then hoping she would release a public apology statement, instead she posted this. This will further show people that she doesn't give a damn. But on stage we could clearly see she was on the verge of tears. This is clearly Stella's post and yes Mariah probably signed off on it to appear bad ass but Mariah open your eyes. I will always love you and I don't have any doubts about your talent but your image is being torn to shreds. I hope Stella does something to fix this instead of sweeping it under the rug. And lame ass hash tags won't cut it. (Sunday 1 January 2017; 10:40)

Re: Mariah and Lionel duet cd? (70,477) (70,480) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope not. (Saturday 31 December 2016; 15:43)

Re: Yeah positive fans (70,463) (70,474) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter TJ, you slay. (Saturday 31 December 2016; 12:31)

Re: Baby (70,432) (70,436) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I completely agree about the boob situation haha. It does her no favors and thing is she accentuates it more with push up bras and contours and all other tricks when she exposes them whereas they appear way smaller when it's covered. But yes the 1998-1999 was a good boob moment. And dahlin' I adore ya and enjoy ya too, you already know that. Haha. I hope you enjoy the show and I would love to hear your feedback. Sending you love and hugs. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 23:26)

Re: Mariah's impact (70,427) (70,435) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes, like Eric mentioned, he got upset when he didn't hear from her team but in Mariah's defense she doesn't owe him anything. It can be seen from the scene (and either I'm imagining it or the guy said it himself) that she didn't just grab the pendant right away. She was trying to decline it but he insisted and she probably took it to make him happy. Now that doesn't obviously entitle him or anyone to anything. He made a choice of giving the gift to her. But regardless, skipping the nasty situation that it later turned into, I'm focusing on what most Mariah fans can relate to and that's the fact that her lyrics and music has touched us all and has helped us cope with stuff in life. That's one thing every Mariah fan probably has in common regardless of what they think of her current choices. That's one thing that will always make me respect her and give her the adoration she deserves. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 23:18)

Re: Baby (70,415) (70,421) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Butterfly was Mariah's overall beauty peak. I mean don't get me wrong, she still remains one of the most beautiful and gorgeous woman alive, but there was something about 1997 (whether it was her newfound freedom and confidence or something else, I don't know) but she was so ethereally beautiful, it was almost too good to handle. She was sensual and sexy without it being too harsh and in your face. Her make up and that amazing honey blonde-brown hair. She somehow managed to look sexy, innocent and classy all at the same time. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 18:35)

Mariah's impact (70,414) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Am I wrong or was the fan from this sneak peak of MW on this board a while back? Anyways the scene got me emotional and I can relate (not to the English learning thing because we learn it here either ways) because Mariah's music is just powerful it really speaks to your soul and helps you in many ways. I'm sure all of us here can relate. Things like these make me love her even more. She is just so talented not only vocally but as a writer and an artist, this is why I get a little annoyed when I see what her image has become now because I respect her artistry so much I feel some of her recent moves have cheapened her image somewhat. She was such a mysterious, brilliant artist. The talent is still there undoubtedly and I just pray her team gets more professional. Honestly Mariah is one of the last living legends, she should be presented as the music royalty that she is, not a reality show newbie, and not the over exposed (both clothes wise and her being seen everywhere nowadays) persona. I hope to see more fan interactions in MW, people should see how this woman has touched the lives of so many people around the world, even places she has never been to.

Re: Leave Mariah alone (70,409) (70,413) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah seems to enjoy the dysfunctional mess that the Bulochnikovs bring with them. Stella will never demand holidays or days off because (a) that means she'll have to pay her way through those days and miss out on Mariah's lifestyle (b) why would she need a day off or take time off for holidays when she is always bringing her whole entire family (extended family and friends, yes friends as well) to these elaborate vacations with Mariah on Mariah's dime. I don't understand why Mariah would allow her to bring all these people. I get the fear of being alone may drive Mariah to surround herself with people but really she is never alone because she has her kids and her real family as in Patricia and Shawn. Why not take some time off and hang out with just them? Of course that poses the potential threat of Mariah realizing she doesn't need the Bulochnikovs to be happy and Crustella will not be down with that. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 12:04)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka are heating up (70,410) (70,411) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah dead. Straight to the point, I just can't. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 11:55)

Little sister Mimi (70,319) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I'm laughing at Mishka calling Mariah her little sister in this post. Technically she's right since Mishka is now 13 while Mimi is eternally 12. (Monday 26 December 2016; 15:21)

New website (70,262) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can someone please explain to me why Mariah has this new "life and style" type website now? I'm so sick of seeing stupid links on her Facebook page from her website about weird baby gifts, stuff to avoid talking about during the holidays and what not. It's all so cheap and doesn't go with her brand. Are they on a mission to involve her brand with everything she doesn't match with and then cheapen it some more? I just don't get it. Yes she needed her website to be more active and up to date but what's with these stupid posts? (Saturday 24 December 2016; 6:49)

Funny or Die videos (70,239) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This video of Mariah reading a Christmas story to kids is hilarious. Loved it. Here's the Katie Couric interview sketch. This is another video, it's a sketch about Mariah judging a Santa audition. This video is kinda a continuation of the last one. Another sketch from the Funny or Die series from last year. This is the "Cooking with Mariah" sketch in case you missed it last year. Oh I forgot to add this video in my last post. (Friday 23 December 2016; 20:16)

Re: What the fudge (70,150) (70,164) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That's her Aspen tradition. There will be one more of her in a bikini in a hot tub in the middle of the snow. Side note: funny thing is now Mishka writes "Aspen Tradition" in her insta post, like girl you've just been going to Aspen since last year, calm it down. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 11:11)

Re: Mimi L (70,134) (70,139) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Of course Stella and Co would think that people who call things out for what it is are goats. Because they themselves would never do it in fear of losing the ability to enjoy MC's lifestyle and money. If Stella was less of a leech and more of a competent manager she could actually use her stalking skills to get a lot of great ideas for Mariah's career. Some fans here and on UKMix have a lot of ideas that would have helped Mariah but nope, she won't let any outsiders get any credit, keep it all in the family. Anyways thanks for the info Giselle, good to know that we are such a popular board. (Tuesday 20 December 2016; 14:51)

Re: Mariah's World / WWHL (70,128) (70,131) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can you elaborate on the whole "they read MCA" part please? I'm interested because I had a feeling for a long time that they do, and they might even be posting here. I got the feeling they read this board because some of the stuff Stella did were suggested on this board, of course Stella would never credit us for the ideas. Anyways I wanted to know how the topic came about and what Stella and her Co leeches said about us. (Tuesday 20 December 2016; 10:35)

Re: Stella fired Danielle Priano again (70,129) (70,130) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Unfortunately Stella doesn't give too hoots about what Mariah's fans think. Remember this is the same woman who has disrespected her fans many times on social media and went on about how they can't even afford her shoes. Mariah's hair is the least important thing right now (and no don't get me wrong, I know exactly what your point is and I agree with you), what I'm more concerned about is Mariah's image. It has been a hot mess. She has gone from classy to trashy. No matter how much we protest, Stella doesn't let Mariah see the real truth, only the rose colored ones. (If you need a visual of what goes on, go and check the scene where Mariah is getting booed and Stella goes "no they're not booing".) Also there's a point where we gotta stop 100% blaming Stella and shift some on Mariah. Why will Mariah allow this crap? I mean sure Stella's the manager but Mariah's the boss, if she wants Priano then who on earth is Stella to remove her? The fact that Mariah gives so much power to Stella is Mariah's shortcoming and obviously leeches will suck blood. But Mariah should have stepped in and just shut the crap down. I don't know why Mariah doesn't see through Stella's fake "empower women" crap, when clearly Stella can't stand another woman unless they bow down to her and Danielle isn't one to bow down. I hope when Danielle finally comes back, it's after Stella gets fired, out of respect for Danielle. If Mariah keeps getting swayed by the opinions of a woman who couldn't get her tour right, her promotions right, her image right then I really don't see how anyone can help her. (Tuesday 20 December 2016; 10:29)

Re: The Mariah - Stella relationship (70,109) (70,115) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Leave it to Mariah to clean house by throwing out old leeches then bringing in a fresh batch of new leeches to replace them. (Monday 19 December 2016; 23:02)

Re: MW episode 3 : Mimi L review (70,110) (70,113) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Seriously though who are they married to? Brett? Haha, Stella is such a creep. Sometimes she even looks at Mariah like a creep. (Monday 19 December 2016; 22:31)

Re: Power Le : Mimi L review (70,101) (70,106) (70,112) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter To paraphrase Stella (mainly to edit out the curse words) "Lose my number, you're a dummy. Mariah's on fire." (Monday 19 December 2016; 22:30)

Article: Mariah Carey is a hands-on boss (70,111) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Despite Bryan asking Mariah if she remembered him in the first episode, Bryan says that Mariah has been one of the most supportive people in his career. He also makes a point to detail just how single he is and how much fun he's having on his own - he's ready, though, to settle down with one woman." This show is so full of inaccuracies, that too in the same episode, I wonder who the heck actually approved it. They keep contradicting themselves on the show. Also Bryan continuously talking about wanting some alone time with Mariah, even if he has to "steal her away" is just plain disturbing and weird. I mean first of all Bryan, that's your boss, why are you so interested in getting alone time with her? Second, no one cares about your relationship status, although if I'm not mistaken he was in a relationship around the time the tour started and I know this because I saw a picture on insta and I was wondering what his girlfriend thinks about this. (Ok don't quote me on this though, I could be wrong.) Also the fact that they have had this story line seed planted from the very first episode just makes me cringe even more, like Mariah, girl, what went wrong? Side note, adults sending a 12 year old to a boy's locker room to ask him to come out of a cake naked is so inappropriate. (Monday 19 December 2016; 22:23)
