About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,183) (97,184) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I mean what else would she have done? Ignore the fact that her fans care to get her decades old soundtrack (that almost ended her career) charting to give it the glory it deserves? Wouldn't people then call her out for being ungrateful? Wouldn't her fans feel let down for their efforts? Also Mariah from what I gather seems to be quite insecure (despite being a superstar) and constantly craves validation, so I'm sure this gesture by the fans lead her to feel important and loved. I don't think her joy/surprise was disingenuous. It wasn't a ploy in my opinion for the press. It was just fan devotion that went viral. And since Glitter was a source of many Mariah spoofs and disses, when it started going viral, it got everyone talking about it. (Saturday 23 January 2021; 05:25)

Re: #MC30 releases are back (97,180) (97,182) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Maybe she's saving Glitter releases for the 20th anniversary of Glitter this September. Also Justice For Glitter was started by the Lambily not Mariah. She was surprised by it and that's when she started acknowledging Glitter again after so many years. She realized that fans still love it even though she hates it (because obviously it was a dark and tragic era for her both professionally and personally). (Friday 22 January 2021; 23:03)

Re: Want to miss her (97,165) (97,170) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Strongly angry with this. We live in a time now when you gotta get as much exposure as you can get because once you're in the shadows you might not be out of it again. Today's audience has a nano second memory span. If you're out of sight you're truly out of mind. Also agree we need a E=MC2 type album, basically an album which is a compilation of single material songs, if she is to get some success again. Like Beyoncé once said, no one really listens to a full album anymore. It's all about that right single right now. #JusticeForMigrate (Thursday 21 January 2021; 05:17)

Re: Ryan and Kelly show, thank you, next (97,037) (97,043) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While I agree that there isn't in fact any "forces" trying to prevent her from getting another #1 (come on y'all she got a #1 last year with an old song) the thing I disagree with is when you say she isn't releasing anything worth charting. And yes of course different people like different kinds of songs so I'm not saying my opinion is the ultimate opinion, just saying I personally feel she did release a lot of really great songs in the middle but what's stopping her from burning up the charts are a mixture of a label push/backup (I'm talking deals and monetary support as in a strong budget), really poor promotion strategies (some of her songs had delayed video/remix releases and then after a soft "download my new tune" we hear nothing of it), really poor single choices and videos with no replay value (among other things). A good budget combined with a video with good replay value would do wonders (look at the AIWFCIY 2019 and OS videos). A good choice of singles and strategical promotions is mandatory. We live in a world where everyone has a nano-second memory, you have to keep reminding them (example engage tiktok influencers for the song to go viral). There's just so much she can do. And an easy one would be just to get Drake haha. I mean she definitely got Ariana for some buzz, just get Drake and seal the deal. (Monday 28 December 2020; 08:09)

Re: Taylor Swift Willow (96,967) (96,975) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter My two cents about all this is that yes it would be amazing if Mariah stays at #1 because what an accomplishment that would be, but if she drops to #2, Mariah is still technically a winner. She managed to give Willow such a huge fight and competition despite AIWFCIY being a 26 year old holiday song. Like imagine a huge artist like Taylor having to discount her lead single (of her surprise album, on her birthday month) and release so many discounted remixes and videos just to compete with a 26 year holiday song that has not been discounted and is standing strong on its own merit. People are actually choosing to buy Mariah's song at full price while Taylor is having to discount hers. That being sad, I wish Taylor would have released her song in January because she is a talented hard working girl but December is Mariah's month. (Friday 18 December 2020; 05:32)

Re: MC, Ari and J Hud (96,805) (96,813) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While they don't have any photos together there is one scene where Mariah puts her hand on Jennifer's shoulder and then where Mariah and Ariana is harmonising they are looking directly at each other and Ariana is proper beaming at her with pride. These scenes make it look like they atleast shot those together for sure. Either that or that's some real good editing (Friday 4 December 2020; 16:35)

Re: Oh Santa 2020 (96,807) (96,812) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I feel like she looked absolutely stunning in that outfit. How many times has she been dragged for wearing the same long gown because she always does it. Mariah is 50 but looking 35, she's feeling herself and her body, I love it. That dress is snatched, perfect amount of legs, cleavage and hugging her curves perfectly. Also this is a fun sing and dance upbeat song, a gown would absolutely not go with the vibe. I loved the version (I enjoy the original version too) but this one has the dimensions of having 3 different vocal styles on it. (Friday 4 December 2020; 16:33)

Re: Bill / Migrate (92,297) (92,325) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter There was an interview (I do not remember which one) where she was asked about Migrate being a follow up second single after TMB and Mariah clearly says something along the lines of "of course not, it is definitely not going to be a single". She was confident about it and from her tone in agreement with the decision of not releasing it. When Mariah wants something to be a single and doesn't get it her way she usually makes it a point to show she wasn't in agreement with the snub, for example her complaining about not being able to release "The One" instead of "Boy".

Congrats (91,703) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Congratulations to Mariah and the lambily. AIWFCIY truly stood the test of time and this accolade came late but atleast it got the respect it deserves. I’m so happy for Mariah and for the lambily. This is truly a big win. I’m so happy and emotional at the same time, my love for this woman just grows every day. (Tuesday 17 December 2019; 01:58)

Re: This site Mimi L (87,762) (87,793) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes ma'am, 9 months ago haha. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 05:40)

Re: This site (87,750) (87,753) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She left and checked into a rehab like she should have and got kicked out of UKMix. Girl had it coming using multiple accounts to have a conversation with herself. Anyways hi boo, MimiL is still here, love it or hate it haha. (Monday 28 January 2019; 19:30)

Re: Legend forever (87,064) (87,123) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter B, sending you a lot of love and prayers. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 05:58)

Re: Stay Long Love You (86,872) (86,878) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter SLLY is my second favorite after ANN. That's why I was surprised that not many people on this board and UKMix like that song. That song is catchy and sexy and should be a single. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 10:26)

Re: Caution next singles (86,584) (86,595) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I live for SLLY. It's one of the strongest hit potentials on the album after "A No No". Gunna also has a lot of streaming pull. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 22:22)

Re: New Rolling Stone article (86,409) (86,419) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha you should just rename it to "Mariah Carey Messageboard". (Thursday 22 November 2018; 19:07)

Re: A No No remix (86,360) (86,376) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I'm so excited. This would be Mariah's first high profile collaboration in a pretty long time. I heard Cardi's team is also aware of it and apparently Cardi saw the video of Mariah talking about it on someone's iinstagram story. In other news both Mariah and Cardi were spotted at a studio today, so fingers crossed. I think this remix has already been recorded or at least already been signed off on by all parties because Mariah wouldn't just put it out there. She usually says names of people she would maybe like to collaborate with, but she has never been this specific about the collaborator and the song. (Wednesday 21 November 2018; 18:11)

Re: A No No feat. Cardi B and Li'l Kim (86,298) (86,342) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Apparently both Cardi and Kim's team knows about Mariah's interest. Plus Mariah went on Suss One's radio show and talked about the collaboration again, so I think it will happen. Mariah has hardly ever been so specific about which collaborator she wants on which song. But in a span of a few days she mentioned this collaboration twice. It's a brilliant idea. It can be like a girl's anthem and about girl power. (Wednesday 21 November 2018; 04:51)

A No No feat. Cardi B and Li'l Kim (86,286) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah saying she wants that collaboration made My day. I've been wanting this since the moment I heard that song. I hope they pull through with it because it would be huge. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 13:25)

Re: Giving me Life / Blood Orange (86,242) (86,249) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Dembabies say "Get the fun cow". (Monday 19 November 2018; 21:42)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,227) (86,236) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Li'l Kim and maybe add in Cardi B to secure streaming. I know a lot of lambs get offended when someone suggests using popular artists to help a song, but hey a hit is a hit. And if one song does really well on the charts, it will divert more casual listeners to "Caution" as a whole. "A No No" is just so catchy, it's bound to be big. But there needs to be strategic pushes, like making some of the iconic lyrics in that song go viral (like Ariana's "one taught me love, one taught me patience, one taught me pain" and then "thank you, next"). "A No No" has several slick lines "Get me Ed Shapiro on the phone", "It ain't even worth a slick reply", "Ed Scissorhands aka I cut you off" being some of them. She would also need a music video that has replay value. (Monday 19 November 2018; 18:39)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,212) (86,217) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Stay Long Love You" (I love the song, it's very catchy and Gunna apparently is huge on streaming scores so that's always a plus), "A No No" (we cannot have a "Migrate" injustice repeat), or "Giving Me Life" (but I don't know if Mariah intends for it to be a single because in one of the interviews she was saying something along the lines of this song not trying to be a single or anything). (Monday 19 November 2018; 13:58)

Re: Runaway (86,033) (86,044) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do you have a link? (Friday 16 November 2018; 19:15)

Re: Caution (85,992) (85,998) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What? Stay Long Love You is my favorite from the 6 tracks we didn't hear before. It does remind me of "To The Floor" though and I like that song too. (Friday 16 November 2018; 06:38)

Re: GTFO, next (85,850) (85,874) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Only difference is Mariah's song talks about throwing the toxic people out and Ariana tries to make it sound like a self love anthem where instead of hating on your ex, you are thanking them for teaching you a valuable lesson. Ariana is doing a subtle but clever promo, because I'm seeing a lot of "thank you, next inspired makeup tutorials" on instagram and YouTube and several big beauty community youtubers have either been casually dropping subtle positive reviews about the song in the middle of tutorials or doing looks inspired by the cover art (which is basically texts) and reaction videos. I'm more than sure now that she's using YouTube and Instagram celebrities, especially those in the beauty community (which is a huge part) to drive people to her song.

Re: All I want for my birthday is to see Mariah Carey (85,864) (85,873) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter People mourn in different ways, however I found it shady that when Ariana was getting (wrongfully) attacked for Mac's relapse after their break up, she made a lot of cryptic tweets about how they shouldn't just assume she is the problem, hinting that Mac is the problematic one. So back then she hinted several times if I'm not mistaken about how she tried but eventually had to give up on Mac, but now suddenly in her new tweets and song Mac is the angel. I understand it must be traumatic for her, but to put his name in a song and posting several photos of him or of her with his dog is a little attention hog worthy move. That too so soon right after his death. (Tuesday 13 November 2018; 03:37)
