About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

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).

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)

Japan bonus track (85,750) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The Japanese bonus track is called "Runway", for those who are interested. The track is another collaboration with Skrillex. In other Mariah news, she is set to be featured in Meek Mill's new album to be released sometime next week. (Friday 9 November 2018; 12:16)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,690) (85,710) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The shade haha. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 19:53)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,675) (85,683) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I get Brenda's anger, I really do but she can't keep expecting Mariah to drop her name every time she makes a public appearance. Like does she expect Mariah to go "Hey, I am Mariah Carey, I was a background singer to the great Brenda K Mart and she helped me get my CD to Tommy Mottola." Mariah has mentioned this story many times but she can't be expected to always mention Brenda everywhere. She might have given Mariah the opportunity to give the demo to Tommy, but Mariah became the legend she is on her own iconic talent. Brenda gave me second hand embarrassment when she thought Kelly gave her a shout out in that "Voice" clip. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 20:40)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,669) (85,682) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Happy birthday dahlin', have a festive and pip day. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 20:36)

Re: Brenda K Starr mad Tommy / Mariah destroyed her? (85,660) (85,668) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Was Brenda K Mart even famous before Mariah? I genuinely have no clue. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 17:26)

Biannual appreciation post for Triumphant (85,638) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is my 50th post (slightly exaggerated) to show my love and appreciation for Triumphant. Every time I go back and listen to that song, I love it and get chills. Triumphant remains one of Mariah's best songs, y'all can fight me over this. Honest to Lord if this isn't the modern hip hop thug life version of "Hero", I don't know what is (controversial line right there, I know). But seriously though this song is amazing. I know it flopped because it was a "lead turned buzz single" of a Mariah album after a long time and featured Mariah as only a hook/chorus girl, but it's still an amazing song. Ok, thank you for reading, if you don't agree, scroll away. (Monday 5 November 2018; 16:29)

Re: Abandon? (85,572) (85,598) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes, "A No No" was produced by JD. (Sunday 4 November 2018; 12:39)

Re: Abandon? (85,564) (85,566) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They do say "I couldn't care less" in America too. RibbonB was joking and she did say "inaccurately" name it "I could care less". (Friday 2 November 2018; 22:16)

Re: Abandon? (85,545) (85,552) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Isn't "A No No" the JD collaboration? (Friday 2 November 2018; 16:51)

Re: X-Girlfriend (85,548) (85,551) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do you not get "Cruise Control" vibes from it too though? (Friday 2 November 2018; 16:49)

Re: A No No (85,501) (85,515) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I also love the rap in the end. It really adds to the song. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 15:17)

Re: So far (85,507) (85,514) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter MC got you feeling feisty and sassy. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 15:13)

Re: A No No (85,506) (85,513) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If it isn't, we'll be here 5 years down the line still complaining about it, like we do for "Migrate". (Thursday 1 November 2018; 15:11)

Re: A No No (85,501) (85,512) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I absolutely loved the song. This is exactly what I was hoping for. It sounds fresh but at the same time it sounds like it pays homage to some of her older songs that I love. Sound wise "Cruise Control", TMB, and like someone from the listening party said "SIO on steroids". Lyrics wise it reminds me of her more boss babe/diss tracks. Like "Obsessed", SIO and Someday/Prisoner (mostly because of the "I'm too good for you" vibes) and of course we have the club feels of "Migrate". If they don't release this as the next single with a proper push and music video (and do lambs dirty like Migrate) I will riot. The Shapiro line is iconic and fierce. My other favorites are "Snakes on the grass, it's time to cut the lawn". and "irregardless of what transpired, it ain't even worthy of a slick reply". And of course the boss babe "I'll be on the stage with the stadium light up" gives me "I'm the press conference, you're a conversation" vibes. I think this whole track is directed at Stella, since Stella was the snake and isn't worth her attention or a slick reply. And also because even after Stella tried to ruin Mariah's reputation, she's still out there selling out venues for concerts. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 15:10)

Re: 8th Grade (85,505) (85,510) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's on her YouTube page, go check it out. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 14:47)

Re: A No No lyrics (85,354) (85,509) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Care to explain the Ginger/Gilligan reference? I didn't watch the show so I don't get it. I'm stupid, I know. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 14:16)

Re: So far (85,485) (85,492) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter My rating would be A No No > The Distance > With You > GTFO. I'm happy with all the songs though, GTFO was the only song that really took multiple listens for me to like it. The rest became favorites on first listen. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 01:31)

Re: Irregardless (85,477) (85,491) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She says "such trepidation" in WY. A lot of people did think she says "strepidation" haha. (Thursday 1 November 2018; 01:28)
