Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,292) (85,312) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha Bill out here doing the most. Pass this image on to Team Mariah for a special edition cover maybe for Target or whatever. (Friday 26 October 2018; 13:31)

Re: With You radio airplay and "The Voice" appearance (85,294) (85,311) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She really does seem more approachable and down to earth now. This has greatly helped her public image recently. I know she used to over play the diva card since she thought it would be funny but I guess at one point she kind of was engulfed by her own image. Everything her team is doing with her current image is just amazing. I cannot believe she actually managed to get the GP on her side because I thought the Stella era had ruined her image beyond repair. Thank the good Lord for her deciding to ditch those darn bodysuits she wore as a uniform even in the freezing cold. (Friday 26 October 2018; 13:29)

Re: Limited edition of Caution (85,268) (85,279) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Are you really going to rant about a cover now? Although I myself prefer the cover with the neon M and think it's a better, the other cover isn't bad and moreover she looks great. The fact that it is blue and not the usual "standard color" or black and white has you shook now? She has updated her music style to fit the current trend so maybe she is going for different visuals? This is along the lines of The Weeknd's "Starboy" cover. I understand having preferences, but to basically call the decision "insane" or "weed induced" (albeit jokingly) is being a little too dramatic. Let's look at the bigger picture, Mariah finally has a project that is getting the roll out and attention that she deserves and she is giving out surprises in the form of new tracks, "The Voice" role and so on almost weekly. Her public image has been the best that it has been in years, she is finally looking and acting like the iconic legend that she is (and not some trashy washed up pop star that Stella turned her into) and she is back to her classy sophisticated self. Her music videos have gone from the uncomfortable "look at me touch myself" to a more classy sexy look with artistic visuals. Let's focus on the positives for now. Just get the deluxe version and your problem is solved. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 14:52)

Re: The Voice (85,250) (85,257) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter There was another clip where Kelly and Jennifer almost corner Blake and start singing the iconic intro to ABMB together. Seriously though, how is still there people who don't know this song, dahlin' I cannot fathom. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 18:39)

Re: World tour (85,198) (85,200) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Maybe she isn't announcing the Asia and Europe dates because she is already touring Asia right now and will be heading to Europe for her Christmas shows soon. So she is keeping the focus of these countries on the current tour. I'm sure she'll announce them as soon as she finished these tours or somewhere near the end. (Monday 22 October 2018; 21:10)

Ariana (85,134) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter There's apparently a rumor going around that a "glitch" caused some tracks to be revealed on Mariah's album and a track called "Far" with a length of 3 minutes 19 seconds features Ariana. The track was listed as the third track. As of now I don't buy this rumor at all since if there was indeed a glitch, other tracks would have been revealed too and as far as the screenshot shows they only show the first 3 tracks, two of which we already know. People seem to really want that collab haha. (Saturday 20 October 2018; 09:49)

Re: Distance - my theory (for laughs) (85,121) (85,133) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The shade of it all. I'm dea. (Saturday 20 October 2018; 09:42)

Re: Caution album (85,118) (85,123) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Maybe she has featured artists there that she wants to keep a secret. (Friday 19 October 2018; 21:33)

Re: Oh my (84,999) (85,002) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If that was directed towards me, I knew you were joking, and I thought it was funny too, I was just "stanning" for "Butterfly" a little. Just clearing it up. (Wednesday 17 October 2018; 20:53)

Re: Album title (84,983) (84,997) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While "Charmbracelet", "Rainbow" and "Glitter" were quite childish album titles, I think "Butterfly" was the perfect album title for that album. It signified her metamorphosis, her finally being free emotionally and also free to experiment with her sound and do the kind of music she wished to do. It also signified her change in her music videos and her personal style. That album title truly represented Mariah and her music at that point of time. (Wednesday 17 October 2018; 19:45)

Ariana (84,924) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ariana has recently started talking about Mariah a lot, in positive light. This is after years of distancing herself from Mariah and not naming her as one of her influences (which I'm sure she did because she got a lot of backlash for trying to copy Mariiah). But anyways she is now back frequently naming Mariah in interviews and using the "I don't know her" reference to someone (not Mariah), listening to GTFO and recently using that photo of Mariah's "Vote or Die" campaign on her instagram story. Mariah then acknowledged that story by liking a tweet about it. I wonder if they got together and cooked up a collaboration. Mariah did say she worked on a lot of collaborations although I don't know if she meant with other singers/rappers or if she was just referring to writers/producers. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 05:19)

Re: Caution (84,903) (84,923) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I absolutely love that idea, it's genius. If that's the direction they are going I'd be so happy. I hope her team sees this and I'm sure she has a lot of songs which she can divide between 2 parts. Melissa, take note. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 05:13)

Re: Album cover (84,913) (84,922) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha 2 years back I would have probably put in a huge bet about Mariah being on the cover wearing nothing but a caution tape, but with her current era and current team, I see they are giving her a more sophisticated sexy look instead of the "I'll be showing up everywhere in a bodysuit or lingerie" trashy moments she had just a while back. The more toned down classy-sexy image is really working for Mariah and it takes me back to her "Butterfly" era where she started dressing sexy but never looked trashy. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 05:12)

Re: New album cover (84,802) (84,803) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Andrew stop, I can't deal with all this positivity. I'm crying. I'm happy you finally found something you like about current Mariah. (Friday 12 October 2018; 20:39)

MV (84,734) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Gosh Mariah looks stunning in the music video. Every single shot is perfection, this woman is so beautiful it's crazy. I was just staring at her like what on earth is the beautiful creature? Even though the music video doesn't have a story line, I really liked it. She is fun and playful in it. She doesn't try to be sexy to the point where she looks uncomfortable (or makes the audience uncomfortable haha). She just looks amazing. She has the most beautiful smile. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 05:12)

Re: AMA performance (84,682) (84,691) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm weeping. This is the most positive thing Andrew has ever written. I'll ignore the last line and just take the positive part. Someone pass me a tissue dahlin'. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 20:41)

Re: AMA performance (84,647) (84,655) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She looked absolutely stunning, her hair and body was serving TEOM realness, but her face was even prettier than it was in 2005. I liked the visuals, they were beautiful and went with the dreamy mood of the song. However I yearn for a time when Mariah will have better stage presence instead of just standing in one place. I want something like what she did with her VH-1 performance of ILT where she wore that orange dress and was full of energy, or her TEOM Grammys performance. I just want her a little more lively on stage. But baby steps I guess she is still nervous of big events which will be broadcasted since her NYE disaster. (Wednesday 10 October 2018; 14:21)

Re: Promo plan (84,602) (84,610) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Not calling it a flop, and I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong about them not having a proper promo but as of now she has no appearances scheduled that we know of. I was just curious as to why they are not being more aggressive with the promo. Also hi B, how are you doing? (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 18:19)

Re: Mike Will made it (84,603) (84,608) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Migrate", "I'm That Chick", "Side Effects", BGK, "Faded", your namesake "Ribbon" and YDKWTD not being released as proper singles will forever haunt me. Also I know a lot of people hate "Money", but that song was catchy AF and could have been a hit with the younger generation. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 18:16)

Re: BT (84,604) (84,607) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Special K's thirst level for Tanaka is Diamond Certified by now. Not everyone has that. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 18:13)

Re: Promo plan (84,588) (84,595) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If this was during the Stella era, I wouldn't even be disappointed because this is exactly what I would expect, a messy era with no proper roll out. But with her new team doing so well, and completely revamping her public image and in a time when Mariah is getting positive press, I had high expectations from this roll out. I had higher expectations when they dubbed GTFO a buzz single even before its release (as opposed to waiting for it to flop and then calling it that) and made a bold move of releasing yet another brand new song right after. Mariah may not be all that savvy promo wise but her team is bound to know that this won't go anywhere without promo. This wouldn't even work for most recent artists let alone Mariah. I mean she is working with Jay Z, who knows exactly how the business works, her new manager was trained by Benny Medina, then how is this era still like this? (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 14:52)

Re: Promo plan (84,573) (84,586) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That would just break my heart if they dump it like that, since it would just be a repeat of what happened to most of her recent singles. I was hoping this era would be more fierce in the sense that they will come in with both guns blazing to push her new releases. (Tuesday 9 October 2018; 12:09)

Promo plan (84,560) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I think I've already made it clear that I love the song and it's been a few days and I still have it on repeat, however, I am curious as to what exactly is Mariah's promo plan with the song? She must have been really confident about it to release it as the lead single (and I'm saying lead with emphasis) that too only 3 weeks after she released a new song. She also made it abundantly clear that GTFO was a buzz single and WY is the lead, so I'm curious that why is this song being ignored. Apart from the AMAs performance, we know of no other promotional plan like TV interviews/musical guest appearances, or any other form of press releases/interviews. She has been teasing the music video but is yet to release it. She will be out on international tour soon, so when exactly will the promo kick in? I just read on UKMix, someone was theorizing (one can call it "reaching for it") that maybe Mariah is holding off on the video because she will premier a remix with Drake at the AMAs, and then release the video with Drake. Now if this becomes true, it will be a brilliant move on Mariah's part and I'm here for it. Any of you have any idea about what could Mariah's strategy possibly be? Because no matter how big a bubble Mariah lives in, I don't think she's that daft to think she can top charts or get exposure for her song without any solid promo. (Monday 8 October 2018; 20:38)

Re: AMA's seating chart (84,544) (84,559) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Maybe Mariah will sing a line from her new song to J.Lo, and by new song I mean the line "How 'bout you GTFO". In all seriousness though, Mariah can make headlines by finally "knowing" who J.Lo is haha. I hope she sits through the show though, instead of leaving. The exposure will help her. I don't think she sat through any award show until date since the TEOM era. (Monday 8 October 2018; 20:27)

Re: With You thoughts (84,383) (84,393) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She also already has a title, "Storm". (Friday 5 October 2018; 17:28)
