A 2am surprise (106,232) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Taylor's marketing is undoubtedly genius. The way she created engagement and mystery around her release. Her Easter eggs, the QR code hunt. Her album releases are almost an event in itself. She really knows how to promote her stuff and promote her artistic abilities. Taylor, like Mariah, is not a dancer but still manages to create a strong stage presence.

Las Vegas (106,211) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Are we really using words like "whoring" just cause you're frustrated? After being a Mariah fan for so long, lambs should have better vocab. Also have you actually been to a show or are you just riled up for nothing? Lastly Mariah's Christmas albums and songs are like tradition now, even if she doesn't push it, it still sells. Only thing she's doing is touring Christmas which people have been asking her to do.

Las Vegas (106,200) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Honestly I don't know, could be a lot of things. One could be just out of fear, my aunt had an accident where her shoulder got dislocated, it fully healed but some trauma or something led her to never raise her hand any more above a certain limit. Let's not forget she fell multiple times. One was when she was pregnant with the twins and just flat fell on stage, then the #Beautiful incident. She probably is just scared of falling in public again. But from the footage I saw of the show, she's moving around my herself instead of using 2 men to move her around, which is a start.

It's the lack of promo after the the initial promo. She was getting ready to release the remixes along with the remix video and broke her arm. By the time she was healed the momentum was gone.

I agree with this. I've seen nothing but good reviews from people who actually attended including them going on multiple dates. She isn't scamming anyone by saying come to this show to get the best vocal experience of your life. It's her celebrating a milestone. Taylor's situation is vastly different where she is manipulating her fans to buy the same songs in different collectible packaging to manipulate the charts and a cash grab.

Stage confidence? (106,178) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I don't think we're talking enough about her improved stage confidence. Now don't get me wrong, she still has room left. But in all the clips I've seen she's walking around, holding her own dress train, moving all without 2 men guiding her. While this may seem bare minimum, I can hardly remember the last time Mariah was walking around by herself. Now all we need is her to stop relying on her teleprompter and just let go and enjoy herself. It's nice to see mostly great reviews on social media. I think us fans dissect her every move too much.

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?

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 (106,175) 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
