TheOne (52,027) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is so sweet of you. Thank you so much for the compliment. And a belated welcome to the message board, I hope to read more of your posts in future. As for SIO, yes I know WBT was blocking SIO so SIO didn't get its chance and I also agree that had It been released a bt later, it definitely would have gone to #1. Nothing could have stopped it. Even Mariah knew that SIO was a hit because she said something like "no one could tell me that SIO wouldn't be my first single". But then they decided to start the era with a party mood and ILT was perfect for it. So yes. SIO and Migrate (had it gotten the single treatment) could have gotten MC 2 more #1's. I think any single from E=MC2 would have greatly benefitted from the huge boost of the success of TEOM, WBT and TMB. But then Mc decided to elope. Oh. The pain haha. But I am hoping for this year to be Mariah's year. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 15:30)

Lee TS (52,021) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You actually might be right. With all the tidbits we have heard recently about the song, it does sound like a revamped SIO. 1) Her singing fast on the verse. 2) A memorable hook. 3) A sad story line but funny lyrics (sad because MC was cheated on by her love interest in SIO). 4) The note at the end. It always bothered me that SIO didn't get a chance to top the charts. The song is and has always been a favourite of mine. Everything from the lyrics to the beat to the production, the video, the storyline was perfection. So this might be SIO's kid coming for vengeance haha. Ok lame, but you get what I mean.

Bill (52,005) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thanks Bill. I didn't make it. Found it on twitter. Giving you the link in case you want to use it somewhere. I really liked this version. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 16:51)

May (52,004) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey there. I am glad you agree. I know a lot of people might be like no Nick is the best that could have happened to Mariah. I only learned to like Nick because MC seemed to be happy with him. But as time went by, MC seemed more and more miserable. Starting with the Barbara interview, where she says she "trusts him sometimes" and then saying that "he's nice when he is good". Then came a phase where she looked completely miserable, and it looked like she was super depressed and kept calling Nick "the abandoner". As for Nick dating other women. I am not opposed to the idea of him dating. Why shouldn't he? He is young and they are separated. They both deserve other shots at happiness. I might not have been clear in my post before, I was referring to a specific video of his that surfaced which showed three scantily clad women, taking turns twerking on him. That bothered me. I think he should be a little more respectable and that's not the behavior MC deserves, if he ever had the intention of working things out with her. There is nothing wrong with either of them dating other people. But none of them are in their 20s anymore, so keep the twerking and dirty dancing with half naked people at bay. Their kids shouldn't have to grow up seeing their dad or mom in that position. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 16:50)

For the record (51,999) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so I just wanted to say this beforehand. Usually every time MC releases a song, the board divides into two parts, one loving the song, one not feeling it so much. So just saying, whatever MC puts out, always be happy we don't have to ever expect this from her. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 10:22)

Jody Lamb (51,998) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Welcome to the board. There is a very good chance some people will disagree with you, but don't let that stop you from voicing your opinions. Not everyone will think alike. I agree with you about Nick. I'm sorry, I can't deal with Nick. I would love for MC to have a happy ending, but I don't know if Nick is that person. She has spent the better part of last year being miserable in her personal life, feeling abandoned and drinking which led to her mumbling non sense in most of her interviews. It went on for a while but finally MC seems to have come to terms with her personal life and seems happy and healthy so I don't like the idea of Nick sashaying in and ruining it again. I also find it disrespectful that he was grinding around with women and being seen with so many girls right after they announced their separation. Some might say he has the right to live his life and yes he does but after that, I don't like the idea of him coming back to MC and making her miserable again. I usually would like for people to work out their issues but with Nick, it just doesn't seem worth it. He is a father now and father's don't go around grinding with various women. I have said this before, it's not like MC is a saint, she has her flaws too. But yeah as of now I'd like her to focus on herself and being healthy. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 10:12)

Warrior Butterfly (51,997) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Apart from Ariana and Rihanna, I'd be fine with the rest haha. In fact it sounds fun. I am not against Rihanna, but the girl won't be able to hold a single note in Hero. It's an interesting collaboration idea. Also I wouldn't know what Beyonce would do on WBT lol. Anyways, fun read. (Saturday 18 April 2015; 7:59)

B / Meme Price (51,981) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter B thanks again for your help. Meme Price, where are these information coming from? (Friday 17 April 2015; 16:54)

Crystal Tears? (51,972) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Really? What on earth? Meme Price can you please state your source? (Friday 17 April 2015; 15:19)

B (51,971) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thanks for the information. I'll check out the scene again. I have searched the internet for a long time trying to get the messages but there isn't any site talking about it. (Friday 17 April 2015; 15:15)

On the bathroom floor (51,970) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I can't deal with the wait anymore. 10 more days. No, just no. I need to hear something from Mariah. MC is so quiet. That little tease. (Friday 17 April 2015; 15:14)

this_is_qhm (51,954) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh wow that's a brilliant idea. I never thought of that. In my mind I always had a vision for FTR, where she would recreate some scenes in the part she mentions her previous songs. Like when she says "you'll always be a part of me" she'd do the be doing the scene from the black and white remix version, where she holds her toupee and nods. Then "I didn't give my all to you" will show her in a recreation of the overturned board. Then there will be the halter neck dress scene from WBT and finally when she yells "honey" she'll do the head/hair black flip she does in the video. It's confusing and I can't explain it in writing sorry. But your idea is brilliant. I would love it if she does it. I'm a little worried about the video because I thought she already has it ready. (Friday 17 April 2015; 10:52)

Ardis (51,953) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If you are talking about the album, it was not pushed back. The official press release always said it would be May 18th. There was a rumor that the release date is May 6th but Mariah's team never confirmed that. (Friday 17 April 2015; 10:46)

The CD (51,945) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The disc says "Disc 1". Does that imply there are more discs? (Friday 17 April 2015; 7:33)

SIO and DFAU (51,928) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can someone please give me a list of the hidden messages in these two videos? I have heard many times that these two videos are filled with hidden messages and inside jokes. I think I got some in SIO. But none in DFAU, unless ofcourse the Marilyn scene is what they are talking about. Anyways can anyone give me a full run down of the hidden messages from these two videos? (Thursday 16 April 2015; 19:06)

L.H. (51,927) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I loved that part in for the record where she mentions her previous songs in such a brilliant way. I always wanted her to do a video where she recreates some of her most iconic looks in it. Obviously she has way too many to fit into one video, but she can pick and choose. The outifts I would love to see a modern take on would be: 1) The flannel shirt and denim shorts 2) The iconic MC little black dress 3) The heartbreaker jeans 4) Any outfit from Honey 5) The halter neck long gown scene from WBT 6) The Loverboy hot pink jumpsuit 7) The gold ensemble from Breakdown Yes all of these can't fit into one, but hey she can pick and choose.

Infinity the next #1 (51,919) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I swear if I was Mariah I would be going into hiding about now. I don't know how she does it. The song hasn't even been released, heck we don't even have a snippet and the internet is abuzz with talks about this being her next #1. Don't get me wrong, I am not judging, in fact I, myself seem to get the feeling that it might be a #1 or at least crack top 10 because Sony and MC seems determined. But yes, back to Mariah. I would get cold feet if I was her and the internet was so alight with high expectations from a song I didn't even release a snippet of yet, no matter how confident I was about the song. I mean I could have had We Belong Together in my hands and still tremble at the thought of disappointing people. I know she is confident about the new song, but to see the internet calling it her next #1 without knowing anything about the song is nerve wrecking because the expectations are so high (and Lord knows what we are expecting), she might get nervous about the reaction when she actually releases it. I'm sure it'll be a great song though. But just saying, if I was Mariah I would be hiding somewhere and be like "No shut it down, we ain't releasing nothing." But then again, maybe that is why I am me and she is the queen. (Thursday 16 April 2015; 13:21)

Orkun (51,918) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thank you so much. I do write a lot of mindless things, haha. This site is like a journal for me where I put in an entries about Mariah related stuff that comes to my mind. I am glad to hear you like it. And I adore your posts. What's your thought about the new era? As for Uptown Funk, Bruno always tends to give me a MJ, James Brown vibe in his songs, that's probably because he is influenced by them strongly. I heard he used to impersonate MJ back in the day, so maybe he ends up copying him a lot as a result in his own work. What I love about Uptown Funk is that it makes you want to get up and bust a move especially at the clapping parts and the music that comes right after "don't believe me just watch". It's a fun song, I never did think it will stay on top for so long though. Keep posting. Sending some love and hugs. (Thursday 16 April 2015; 13:14)

Music video (51,914) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The article says that she'll film the video this weekend. Wasn't the video supposedly already shot? Didn't MC yell over the radio when Brett called in, to say the video will blow our minds? I don't get it. A last minute video is scary to me. I don't want a rushed edit job. (Thursday 16 April 2015; 12:22)

Infinity (51,912) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So after going through the net for hours, and reading "reviews" from people who claim to have heard the song, I am more confused. At one point they say it's a funny, upbeat, feel good song with her singing fast. The other says its a sad yet catchy song. There have been one claim of a Mariah laugh heard in the song and also multiple people have said she holds a long note at the end. So what is it? A "Touch my body" meets "Side effects"? Both have the verses where she speaks fast. "Side effects" have the sad lyrics with the uplifting chorus, "Touch my body" is fun through and through, I love both the songs, but I don't know what they'll sound if they had a baby. Anyways, I'll try not to read too much into these rumors. (Thursday 16 April 2015; 12:05)

Infinity (51,908) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Carrying out my daily morning investigation of Infinity and savoring every little info (rumor or confirmed) about the song. We now have the name of at least one of the co-writers and a rumored story line for the song. (Thursday 16 April 2015; 6:55)

Infinity (51,907) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Now what is this supposed to mean? I found it on twitter. The song is funny? I am more intrigued now. No I can't wait. *yells* Mariah. Dont play with me girl (like the frustrated lamb video). (Thursday 16 April 2015; 6:34)

Infinity (51,894) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So by now it seems like Sony thinks that Mariah may get her 19th #1 from Infinity. The fact that Infinity is the only new track on the #1's album kind of shows that they don't think they need a second track to bridge Mariah's career over to the next era. Plus a lot of thought must have gone into finalizing this song as the perfect one to be Mariah's rebirth or the song worthy to kick off/solidify Mariah's 25th year in the business. All these kind of makes me wonder even more about what this mysterious song really sounds like. It must be really that good for both Mariah and her label to think it's a hit. I wonder what promotion plan they have for it. Her show will start just a few days after the single debut. So I was curious what their promo plans looks like. I also wonder what the single cover will be. Yes I am wondering a lot nowadays. April 27th seems years away. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 21:47)

Mariah (51,884) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am imaging this scene (Mariah's reaction to the news of Bruno Mars falling to #2). MC standing with a champagne flute in her hand, she looks at the screen with the headline "No record for Uptown Funk", she raises her eyebrows while shrugging and says "They try but fail, every darn time." Then she takes a sip of the champagne, turns around and walks away singing slowly under her breath "uptown funk you up, uptown funk you up". (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 20:53)
