Re: Nick, why oh why? (98,232) (98,235) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter He'd be the worst ambassador since he clearly isn't doing what a condom is supposed to do lol. (Monday 21 June 2021; 20:57)

Re: Nick, why oh why? (98,229) (98,234) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah no lies detected in the whole post. You are right. And for sure any door for reconciliation is shut, bolted, boarded up. And ugh will we ever be done with the clown shenanigans. I'm so tired of them popping up every few months with a new allegation. (Monday 21 June 2021; 20:55)

Re: Nick, why oh why? (98,228) (98,233) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's sad to see. I feel like on her end Mariah tried her best, she would include him in all celebrations, even his mother and family (as is the right thing to do obviously) and she seemed to always put a happy face and post pictures including him, instead of just looking like she's tolerating him. So I thought what an amazing co-parenting relationship. But obviously with now so many factors in this equation it just gets complicated for all parties. Mariah tried hard for her kids to give them a positive co-parenting experience that she herself didn't ever get. (Monday 21 June 2021; 20:52)

Nick, why oh why? (98,225) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Nick as you all might know recently (June 14th) had twins and now he announced he's having another child with another woman, his fourth baby mama. It's apparently his fourth child in a year and 7th child in total. Now I obviously have no right to say anything about how people should live their lives but boy is this a mess. I feel bad for Roc n Roe because between all these kids and all the jobs Nick does I wonder if they even get to see him much anymore. Also all these kids won't probably see him much either. He's really pulling a Cruise Control, bringing the drama, six baby mamas. Poor Mariah too, will forever have her name attached to this mess train. (Monday 21 June 2021; 04:06)

A rewatch? (98,219) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha y'all I had the craziest idea. I was just sitting around and I was like "Hmm how about I rewatch Mariah's World?" Lol I remember it was such a cringe fest but that's how much I miss Mariah. (Saturday 19 June 2021; 14:02)

Re: Worst song ever made? Triumphant (98,215) (98,218) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The 2 Memoirs remix singles that ended up on MIAM were the worst. She had so many amazing remixes from Memoirs that had leaked and I especially love the H.A.T.E.U. remix. (Saturday 19 June 2021; 13:55)

Re: Worst song ever made? Triumphant (98,214) (98,217) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes. UOOMF another jam that didn't get the attention it deserved. (Saturday 19 June 2021; 13:52)

Re: Worst song ever made? Triumphant (98,213) (98,216) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The only reason lambs hated the song at that point was they were waiting for years for Mariah's next lead single (although Triumphant was later dubbed a buzz single), and so after waiting for so long they got a song where Mariah feels like a featured artist or hook girl. But to be honest I didn't care, I loved it from the first listen. Even loved the video. I still watch it. Also yes a great work out song, gets me going. I had once back in the day dubbed it the new "Hero" on this board haha. At the risk of the lambs coming for me. But I do think that song should have done a lot better on the charts. (Saturday 19 June 2021; 13:50)

Re: Worst song ever made? Triumphant (98,208) (98,212) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Not here for the SLLY slander. That song is a sexy jam. I love it. I'm undecided about TTF. I sometimes like it sometimes I don't. "Irrestible" and "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" hahah I forgot those songs existed. (Saturday 19 June 2021; 05:45)

Re: Worst song ever made? Triumphant (98,198) (98,201) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bye we can't be friends after this. I love "Triumphant". I still play it haha. (Friday 18 June 2021; 03:45)

Re: Wedding song (98,170) (98,172) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was thinking of that too. Such a beautiful song, beautiful melody and beautiful lyrics. One of her most underrated #1's. (Tuesday 15 June 2021; 04:25)

ABMB (98,161) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter How does ABMB sound like a classic 90s song and yet simultaneously sound so fresh and current? Never gets old. (Saturday 12 June 2021; 21:26)

Re: Revisiting videos at random (98,154) (98,156) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The "With You" video is stunning visually but would not have a playback value for [a lot of people] outside of Mariah's core fan base. One of my favorite shots is of her laying on the floor with her hair and dress fanned out, she looks like the "dancing girl" emoji. Butterfly era was Mariah's video peak. Every single video was amazing, whether it's the visuals, the plot, the execution and of course Mariah's own beauty (Butterfly era Mariah is my favorite look), everything was just next level amazing. Each videos also represented the song's mood so well. With "Honey" giving the sweet but sexy liberated look, "My All" and "The Roof" showing the sexy but vulnerability the protagonist is feeling, "Butterfly" and "Breakdown" amazingly showcasing the vulnerability and loneliness of the protagonist with stunning visuals. Every single video is amazing from that era. Her next video peak was "TEOM", every single video from that era was so high quality and just pure perfection. (Saturday 12 June 2021; 03:58)

Revisiting videos at random (98,152) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I was just randomly revisiting some of Mariah's videos, random order and had a few random thoughts. I watched "Infinity" first, haven't seen that video in a long time and looking bad it wasn't a bad video, minus just the scenes of her awkwardly bopping in the closet in the black dress. So overall not a bad video and I loved the sequence were all 3 of her "suitors" make cameos. I then switched to "A No No". Although I'm iffy about the video (the color palette and all is great though) I still can't fathom that this song didn't make a bigger impact. No one can tell me had Ariana or someone like her sang this song it wouldn't be on the top of the charts. I really wish she had Cardi or Nicki on this track and gave it more of a push. "I Don't" is a hot mess haha. Mariah looks hot but that's about it. "With You" a beautiful song, but no replay value. Mariah looks stunning though, but that won't push a song. (Friday 11 June 2021; 22:22)

Re: Caution deserved better (98,109) (98,112) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wish "Stay Long Love You" got single treatment. It's an unpopular opinion but I love that song. It sounds to me like a baby between "Migrate" and "So Lonely" both of which are fire. (Wednesday 9 June 2021; 01:39)

Re: MC's response (98,106) (98,107) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's also going viral, everyone is reporting on it. I love how she responded to it by sliding in the "our #1 song", remind them who the queen is. Mariah is honestly a force to be reckoned with and the fact that she still regularly grabs headlines shows people are still invested in her. The only reason I feel like her music isn't doing well is because of wrong single choice, lack of aggressive promotion plans and most importantly videos with no replay value. I still think she continues to make quality music. I would love to see some experimentations and collaborations but I truly believe she can make a decent dent in the charts if she tackles the things I mentioned above. (Tuesday 8 June 2021; 01:48)

Re: Sun article (98,103) (98,104) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Goes on to also show that Mariah has a lot of love for Jay Z, because there are always hundreds of rumors about Mariah and she almost never acknowledges them (and rightfully so because why waste her time) but she responded to this because she wasn't going to let fools get away with it. (Monday 7 June 2021; 21:19)

MC's response (98,102) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter MC shut that rumor down real quick. She responded on Instagram sharing a "Heartbreaker" video clip and basically nipping it in the bud. I'm glad she did it. I love their friendship and collaborations. She may have moved on to another management but at least they ended on good terms. (Monday 7 June 2021; 17:47)

Re: Roc Nation (98,081) (98,089) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This whole Bey angle let's be real is pure speculation. There is no evidence to back it up and also there has since been reports by [Daily Mail] and the [Mirror] refuting claims that Mariah and Jay Z departed on bad terms. Also it would make sense for Roc Nation as a business to invest more where they expect more returns, so if they invest more on Bey than they did on Mariah it's business and Mariah must have signed on to Roc Nation knowing that to be the case. Also "I feel like this Roc Nation era did exactly what it was supposed to do. It transformed her image from the nightmare era and offset the effects from that time" - is almost a near impossible thing that Roc Nation achieved for Mariah, let's not downplay that. Because right before that Mariah's image was in shambles. Jay also got Mariah (as per her own words) pushed Mariah to work with new collaborators and she agreed she appreciated that. It wasn't a short term thing Mariah signed up for. But going through so many managers in such a short span of time is definitely concerning. Mariah is a musical genius but she isn't good with management work, she needs to trust someone else with it. (Sunday 6 June 2021; 00:10)

Mariah and Jay Z (98,079) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did y'all read the article about Mariah and Jay Z having a huge fall out over her future career path and that's why she left? I hope it's not true. Mariah and Jay Z have been friends for such a long time and have only spoken really highly of each other. I would want them to stay friends. I enjoy her collaborations with him. (Saturday 5 June 2021; 01:26)

Re: So much better (98,060) (98,063) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That’s a brilliant video idea. Sometimes I wish Mariah would just hire the lambs do do video concepts. A video with a replay value can do wonders for the song. (Wednesday 2 June 2021; 03:35)

Re: The assistant (98,041) (98,045) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Good lord. But I gotta say I am so relieved we're past that nightmare era. I honestly thought that Mariah would never come out of that and that had irreparably damaged her image. Thankfully she bounced back and has a much better image now and good will. But everything about Jigsaw's era was straight up destructive. From the fringe projects to the body suit moments to the cringe Instagram takeover by Jigsaw's daughter. It felt like the family had total control over Mariah. I was so shocked and how Mariah wasn't realizing what a mess this train wreck was but better late than never. If it was up to Jigsaw she would have ruined Mariah. Thankfully we're past that mess now. (Wednesday 26 May 2021; 21:41)

Re: Somewhat Loved (98,019) (98,020) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I also don't think it sounds anything like IBLYLT. I can't decide yet if I like it. I need to listen to the full song. But I'm always here for new Mariah songs. (Monday 24 May 2021; 00:01)

Somewhat Love (The You Go Breaking My Heart) (98,015) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So apparently that's the name of the song, and someone posted this snippet on YouTube. It has an interesting sound. It's not like anything I heard from her before. (Sunday 23 May 2021; 16:49)

Re: Rumour (98,007) (98,014) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I have no receipts, just read it on UKmix, that there's a snippet floating around in Hit Predictor. Looks like a fellow lamb from MC Archives also heard it. Eagerly waiting to hear more about it. (Sunday 23 May 2021; 16:43)
