About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

New music? (107,679) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No to Chris Brown for me. Also rumor has it Mariah refused to sit with him at an event after he assaulted Rihanna. We don't need her associating with another known abuser. If Mariah really wants to go out of her comfort zone I would love to see a duet with Post Malone or Zayn or Harry Styles. Hell why not a sexy song with Sabrina Carpenter. Nonsense is a very Ariana-Mariah type song. Mariah, Ariana and Sabrina on a song would be lethal.

New music? (107,676) by Robert-Anthony from United States A Breezy duet for Valentine's day would set the internet on fire. Their voices would sound so good together on a hot passionate R&B love song. Their duet would be looked at as being creative and stepping out of their comfort zone. I just feel it would be a number #1 song on multiple charts. Who wouldn't love a Breezy and Mimi duet? Mimi needs a song to get the public's attention in 2025. Babyface, Daryl Simmons, Antonio Dixon, Muni Long, and Tank should co-write the song with Breezy and Mimi. (Wednesday 20 November 2024; 22:15)

New music? (107,663) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You could definitely be right I don't really know much about the behind the scenes of Billboard but even then if she's promoting it doesn't need to be so saturated hahah. Too many partnerships, too many features etc. (Monday 18 November 2024; 03:18) this is a reply to message 107,661

New music? (107,661) by Libra Lamb from USA I believe one of the rules of the Hot 100 is that a song/single has to have current promotion. I don't know much so please correct me if I'm wrong t. (Sunday 17 November 2024; 23:19)

New music? (107,662) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I can't remember if she said she's doing anything extra but what I basically was wondering is if she wasn't putting her resources/her labels resources towards promoting her Christmas stuff, what else was stopping her from finishing all the projects she's been saying for years she's working on. (Monday 18 November 2024; 02:35) this is a reply to message 107,657

New music? (107,657) by Shezz from Pk Why were we all expecting it? I feel that she said something herself about it but now I can't remember what or when. I remember I was telling RA it's too soon, she just did MC25 and then I was like oh good I'm glad I was wrong and she is. (Sunday 17 November 2024; 04:05)

New music? (107,656) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If it isn't it'll be due to the oversaturation. AIW was an organic hit because of its timeless feel. But in the last few years there's been so much saturation with AIW, with Mariah fully embracing the Christmas lady persona. I get it that holidays are where the money's at but I wish she didn't push it so much. (Sunday 17 November 2024; 03:33) this is a reply to message 107,655

New music? (107,655) by Robert-Anthony from United States She is truly being the elusive chanteuse with the Lambs. By the way, I have a funny feeling AIWFCIY won't be as popular this holiday season. (Saturday 16 November 2024; 23:38)

New music? (107,654) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter To be honest, if Mariah wasn't reserving this year for something big for this anniversary, what was stopping her from finishing her other projects like MC16, TBL, etc. I get she was doing shows, but they weren't so intense that she didn't have time to finish her projects. I was thinking she's avoiding releases this year to focus on the anniversary. Even the Netflix special I thought it's a documentary turns out it's just a taping of her show.

New music? (107,653) by Edward from USA I truly believed that with MC turning 30, Mariah would go all out with new music, a fresh video, and a TV special. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case. Considering Brenda Lee has already hit number one on the Billboard Holiday charts, it feels like the perfect opportunity for Mariah to bring her A-game this season. (Saturday 16 November 2024; 17:18)

Netflix (107,610) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's on Netflix's New & Popular section. I believe releasing later this month. However it seems like it's a recording of her Christmas concert. I thought it'll be a net new special. (Wednesday 6 November 2024; 14:06) this is a reply to message 107,609

Netflix (107,609) by C from United States What's the source for this? (Wednesday 6 November 2024; 12:11)

Netflix (107,598) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah is listening because apparently she's doing a Netflix Christmas special. This is great because Netflix gets more views than whatever streaming she used before (I think she was doing Apple?) and it's also good because Spotify always sabotages her because she's been giving exclusives to the competitors so Netflix is a good place to be. (Monday 4 November 2024; 21:01)

Madame Tussaud's (107,596) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha it does? I zoomed in but it looks fine to me. Maybe because her head is tilted at an angle that is causing an illusion? Or I need to get my eyes checked. (Monday 4 November 2024; 16:59) this is a reply to message 107,593

Madame Tussaud's (107,593) by Shezz from Pk Mimi L it looks amazing but zoom in, she looks a little cross eyed like in that new AIWFC cover. Someone needs to fix that. (Monday 4 November 2024; 03:29)

Madame Tussaud's (107,592) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Have y'all seen the wax statue reveal? There's a little video too. When the post first popped up on my feed I thought it was a Christmas vs Halloween Mariah edit lol then I realized it's her wax statue. It looks so good. Some of the ones they make are hideous. But hers is pure perfection. (Monday 4 November 2024; 00:14)

All I Want So So Def (107,584) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so I don't know about y'all but I love the So So Def version as well as the original. I wish she'd perform it or bring some attention to it. It's such an amazing track. Maybe do a mashup. (Sunday 3 November 2024; 03:51)

It's time (107,576) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's amazing. I absolutely loved it. The Addam's Family reference, her dressed as Morticia all iconic. She's truly outdone herself. Whoever came up with the concept is a genius. I also loved that Gomez Addams turned into a snowman during the Christmas transition. It looks like she had great budget this year and last to make really high quality videos for "it's time". I hope she has the same when it comes to her next singles. To think we went from homemade phone videos for It's Time to this, I'm super happy. (Friday 1 November 2024; 12:37) this is a reply to message 107,573

It’s Time (107,573) by Jamie from UK What do we all think of this years it's time? I loved it after a few watch's. First look I wasn't sure. (Friday 1 November 2024; 09:02)

MC 30 media blitz (107,560) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha we love and demure and mindful queen. Very cutesy. (Wednesday 30 October 2024; 21:07) this is a reply to message 107,557

MC 30 media blitz (107,557) by Shezz from Pk Mariah is taking the MC30 promotion very seriously I'm so happy. According to MariahNow Brazil's instagram she will make a major holiday announcement on 31st October with Melissa Forman at 8:20am on LiteFm 93.9. On the LiteFm website it says she will kick off the holiday music with them on November 1st with a special message. MariahNow also says she's recorded a Christmas special with BBC for UK and they have a beautiful new picture of her from the upcoming LA times shoot I hope this link I've attched works. Anyone else noticed Mariah dressing more "demure and mindful" since the last couple of months (Mimi L. that was for you). Ps. I started my Mariah Christmas music already this morning. Anybody else? (Wednesday 30 October 2024; 17:13)

P Diddy (107,558) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah recently did an interview and they asked her about Honey and her collaboration with Diddy. They asked the recent allegations impact her when she hears that song. This was her answer: "That's hard not to happen when stuff goes on and you hear somebody's voice on a record. You're like, Hmmm. It's weird, you know? But honestly, Honey was more a representation of me than anybody else, and I know that. The other people that were involved - or maybe the other person that we're talking about - wasn't really that involved." So looks like Mariah makes her stance quite clear which I can appreciate. I also appreciate that she addressed it and didn't tell her PR to remove any questions about Diddy. (Wednesday 30 October 2024; 17:18)

Drew Barrymore Show (107,554) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think it's for easier accessibility and the chance for it to go viral. Not a lot of people really watch TV anymore and attention span of the newer generation is short haha. (Tuesday 29 October 2024; 17:31) this is a reply to message 107,553

Drew Barrymore Show (107,553) by Robert-Anthony from United States Every announcement has to be done on social media these days. I don't understand why. I said on MCA a few weeks ago that her it's time video this year will be her best one yet. I can't wait to see what MC does this year. (Monday 28 October 2024; 23:36)

Next single has to hook them (107,530) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love the idea of Mariah reimagining one of her songs into a new one that’s why I was excited when rumors were circulating that she’s reimagining one of her #1 hits. But that never happened. But I don’t think Fantasy should be recycled because it was very recently done with Big Energy. I think ABMB, Heartbreaker are two good options for catchy songs. (Sunday 20 October 2024; 03:43) this is a reply to message 107,529

Next single has to hook them (107,529) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have kept my word about scaling back my messages to only 2-3 messages per week. However, I had to make a post about this one. I was at my high school's football game and the crowd went crazy when Fantasy ft. O.B.D. played on the field. The young people today could make Fantasy a hit again in 2025 if MC remiangined it to a new sample for a stadium jam ft. Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne. MC has to hook these young people with one of her old songs if she is going catch radio's attention next year. Maybe Fantasy is the song that could do it. What are the Lambs' thoughts? (Sunday 20 October 2024; 00:27)

Podcast (107,528) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I was a bit surprised when they asked her if Butterfly was a significant album to her because as a lamb you would know exactly what significance Butterfly has for Mariah. It was literally a turning point for not only her career but her personal life and media image. But like overall it was a chill interview. No new revelations really. Except for the usual "I'm working with a lot of people" but ok when are we seeing these haha. "Gimme the dates, gimme the dates" - sung like Heartbreaker's "Gimme your love, gimme your love". (Sunday 20 October 2024; 00:24) this is a reply to message 107,526

Podcast (107,526) by Zachariah from Croatia I got annoyed (as did she - let's not deceive ourselves) with Matt Rogers constant complimentary comments about Butterfly album and Heartbreaker video. Ok Matt, you have orgasms while listening to Butterfly album and watching the Heartbreaker video, we get it. Calm. Down. Thankfully, Bowen was an anchor to keep the converastion in more down to Earth way. Releasing the Someone's Ugly Daughter would be a great move if that album is really good and not some kind of mockery of alt rock music, which would just backfire. And we all know how media just waits for a new victim to put down. (Saturday 19 October 2024; 16:05)

Podcast (107,525) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The podcast was a cute moment. The hosts were certified lambs and I think their love for Mariah kinda put Mariah at ease. Nowadays during interviews she's mostly bored or goes off tangent but this interview she was calm, checked in and answered properly. She seemed a little nervous almost trying to see if the hosts are actually genuine in their compliments but once she realized they were, she let her personality shine. The interviewers matched her humour (I think Mariah's humor is seriously underrated). Nothing ground breaking really came of the interview, I think we scared Mariah into constantly stating she's no longer going to say "soon" when it comes to releases because the fans get agitated. Mariah sounded really humble when they talked about her impact in shaping the music industry and genre blending. She really is a legend. It's crazy how she set so many trends and I think she doesn't get enough credit. It made me sad when she said she was more confident performing back in the day than she is now. Probably because she could rely more on her voice back then. She talks about working on new things and I wonder what it means, like are all previous projects scrapped, is she still working on previous projects? What I wouldn't do to know the insights haha. (Friday 18 October 2024; 18:24)

AMAs performance (107,512) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think the problem lies in the fact that everyone and I mean everyone including industry big shots are always talking about how insane Mariah's vocals are and everyone really focuses on how her voice is unparalleled that she kinda feels like she can't make mistakes. We know Mariah is self conscious so she probably feels like people will think less of her if her voice isn't "perfect" and we've seen that happen too. The ridicule she faces everytime she makes mistakes and people declaring it "her voice is over", "she's not what she used to be" and all, I guess it gets to her because again Mariah lives for the validation. I mean this woman spent the last 30 years of her life determined to only be photographed from one side because someone told her in the 90s that that's her good side. Mariah's voice is her identity and I think she's not ready yet to modify it. I'm ok with that, she's been trying to sing more and more live. I do believe most of the AMA performance was live if not fully because she isn't also great at lip syncing so much ahah we've seen it be very visible in some concerts. All I want is new music Mariah, feed us lambs lol. (Sunday 13 October 2024; 01:53) this is a reply to message 107,511

AMAs performance (107,511) by TJ from Norway I just want the 1991 Mariah to step out again, and be about the real voice as she said back then. I know she lipps a lot of the difficult parts now, but I rather see her sing live in lower notes. (Sunday 13 October 2024; 00:37)

Mariah Instagram Story (107,508) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That's not AI. That's her BTS. She looks stunning in the videos. (Saturday 12 October 2024; 16:26) this is a reply to message 107,507

Mariah Instagram Story (107,507) by Jamie from UK I'm sorry but the virtual AI post of the new Christmas singles is terrible. What's with the AI? Please be more natural Mariah (Saturday 12 October 2024; 06:04)

AMAs performance (107,503) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I kinda am hoping she's getting TEOM celebration out of the way this year so she can focus on new material next year. Wishful thinking haha. Another theory is that she's doing TEOM early because it's MC 35 next year. (Friday 11 October 2024; 21:00) this is a reply to message 107,502

AMAs performance (107,502) by BFF from United States The AMAs performance seemed lip-synched to me, but I guess the vocals could have been compiled from multiple takes like someone else mentioned. Mariah seemed a little more energetic than she has been at the Vegas residency, so that was a plus. I wonder if she is planning something to coincide with the actual 20th anniversary of TEOM's release date next year. There is least one song from those sessions ("When I Feel It") that isn't available on streaming, and maybe there are some other unreleased songs from those sessions. I'm bidding my time for when Mariah finally does some sort of "Glitter" re-release/celebration. She worked on the film and the soundtrack for approximately 3-4 years, so there's bound to be a ton of material buried somewhere. And we still don't have EPs for "Loverboy", "Never Too Far", "Never Too Far/Hero", "Don't Stop", etc. I guess Virgin Records hasn't been easy to work with on that front. (Friday 11 October 2024; 19:25)

Merry Christmas 30 (107,496) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter These are apparently 2 of the 4 covers and so far these two are meh. The "homage" photo is too edited, too structured and very "staged". The original cover of AIW is so effortless, she looks like she was just running around the snow and decided to sit down and take a photo, she's got her hair flying over her face and her smile is stunning. The new one is more of an homage to MC2Y cover. The second cover is ok but her eyes look a little weird. Waiting to see the other 2. Mariah used to work with such legendary photographers, I wonder who she works with now. They airbrush her too much when she doesn't need it. She looks flawless in her candids.

Merry Christmas 30 (107,495) by MusicfanJ from Germany I agree. It looks too artificial for me as well. Who created the second pic? The original pic of the album is so beautiful. One of her best covers. The album Merry Christmas II is a nice tribute. Anyway it's unbelievable it's been 30 years. (Thursday 10 October 2024; 14:37)

AMAs (107,473) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I rewatched the performance multiple times and it just warms my heart to see Mariah slowly but surely gaining her confidence back. I also loved the different arrangements she did in some parts of the song. How is this song almost 2 decades old but still gives people goosebumps? What a modern classic. Mariah looked like a true glamorous Hollywood diva. I'm so happy for her. She's been going through such a difficult time in the past few months and the fact that she's finding peace in her music, performance and fans is amazing to see. Not to mention the GP can't seem to get enough of her. She'll truly always be a queen. (Monday 7 October 2024; 21:23)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,467) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter RA, don't let anyone diminish your shine. The only moderator on this board is Eric. Also there's a scroll option for people who want to scroll by. I don't read every single comment on this board if it doesn't interest me and that's fine. Not all of us have the same interests.

AMA's anticipation is high (107,455) by Robert-Anthony from United States Is that really the sentiment amongst the board members? Okay, I hear everyone loud and clear. Going forward, I will limit my posts. I don't want you to get to that point and you say "I don't know him." (Sunday 6 October 2024; 22:33)

AMA performance (107,466) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oouufff Mariah on fire. She looked so beautiful. Hair, makeup, dress everything on point. She looks like a cross between Charmbracelet and TEOM Mariah. She looked so endearing standing there trying to give it her all, I got emotional seeing her. WBT will always be that girl, the moment the intro notes starts everyone loses their mind. It's great to see everyone having a good time and singing along with her. She said she did the DFAU intro as an homage to her 2005 AMAs performance and it sounded good tbh. (Monday 7 October 2024; 13:47) this is a reply to message 107,464

AMA performance (107,464) by Jamie from UK I loved it and she looked amazing too. Classic looking Mariah. Nice to see she’s re entered the USA iTunes chart too with WBT (Monday 7 October 2024; 11:17)

DFAU (107,445) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I love the OG DFAU and the remix. But I agree a mashup would be better if she is going that route. (Thursday 3 October 2024; 00:48) this is a reply to message 107,443

DFAU (107,443) by jaker20 from US This reminds me of Toni Braxton's remix performance of Unbreak My Heart remix, and also Mariah's own My All version at Diva's Live where she switched the end from ballad to upbeat, dance remix. That's what she should do with DFAU. Lambs don't seem to consider this song as one of her best, but I personally love it. But I would love a good twist. (Wednesday 2 October 2024; 22:45)
