About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Oh dear (71,888) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So the clothes are progressively becoming lesser and lesser with each teaser haha, here is the latest one, and well, I can't even know what to say. I don't know if I should be happy that this actually looks like they spent some money on the video because we got 3 different looks already, or should I be scared that the next promo will be in the nude dahlin'. Haha. (Wednesday 1 February 2017; 2:41)

Re: I Don't cover (71,876) (71,880) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The cover actually isn't bad, giving me GYN (white suit although this is lingerie) and #Beautiful (although this is a car and not bike) mixed with a little bit of "Loverboy" cover tease. I wish her mouth was closed though haha, it's a little awkward. But I can live with it. YG looks hot tamale. She's wearing wedding night lingerie though so I gotta prepare myself for some awkward drama but I really hope they have a good storyline and not just a mess montage of her touching herself and giving bedroom eyes to the camera.

Re: I Don't cover (71,867) (71,871) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Correction, I meant "not the final cover". I mistakenly typed "now". (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 17:05)

Re: James reaction to "I Don't" (71,865) (71,869) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha dead. I can't. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 16:41)

Re: Mariah on Dubai radio show (71,860) (71,868) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Well they're not hyping it up, they asked Mariah who she would like to collaborate with that she hasn't already, and she says she might have already collaborated with some people that people have been wanting already but she won't spill details. This isn't new though, she has been saying this in almost all interviews that she has worked with some people that fans have been asking her to collaborate with but won't reveal it because she doesn't want the concept stolen. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 16:36)

Re: I Don't cover (71,857) (71,867) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think it might just be a screen grab from the video as a teaser. We'll know tonight if for the second day countdown she uses a different picture. This might now be the final cover. As for the ring, the woman really needs to take it off and turn it into another piece of jewellery, like a pendant or something. It's so ridiculous that she's wearing this after claiming how much pain James caused her and then taking it off in the preview clip and now wearing it again. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 16:09)

Mariah's interview Dubai92 (71,858) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is the link. She was shooting a music video when she did the interview. Her setlist isn't fixed yet, but she said she'll do the hits and some fan favorites. She says she might be doing some secret collaborations but won't reveal it now. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 15:10)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,845) (71,849) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Dahlin' Mariah doesn't have boyfriends anymore, she has fiances. So I just hope that within months we don't hear the "Mariah and little cub is engaged". (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 10:06)

Re: I Don't (71,847) (71,848) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The song is actually with a rapper, the singer in the song comes from the sample she used, which is "Where I wanna be" by Donell Jones. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 10:04)

New song (71,841) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Although the new song sounds promising (I don't know whether I like it yet), but I really wished that she'd release a more upbeat, fun song with a catchy chorus. Something like maybe "Heartbreaker" and all. A feel good, fun song, that people can have a good time to. She could have gone for a big ballad second. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 2:19)

Re: MW ep 8 ending (71,828) (71,838) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was thinking the exact same thing when I heard those words, it's like he went back and saw what Nick said about Mariah and just rephrased it. (Tuesday 31 January 2017; 2:09)

RibbonB (71,810) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did you notice how M was wearing the same dress in Hawaii that she was also supposedly wearing when at the beginning of the season Bryan came to her room, the whole secret handshake scene? And even back then we knew this was definitely shot in Hawaii and edited to make it look like it happen during the SSFT. Not only was she wearing the same dress (which can be a coincidence since she does repeat clothes) but her hair, makeup, shoes, everything was exactly the same, no change at all, so now it's confirmed (even though there was no doubt to begin with) that this scene was added in later to promote the "Manaka" story line. I don't have the patience or willingness to go back and watch the previous episodes to see what other blatantly obvious re-shoots were included (there were many though, in fact I feel like about half the scenes were re-shoots). This just is annoying because this is supposed to be a "documentary of the tour" yet it's full of staged moments and yet Mariah basically rolls her eyes and get angry when people say it's a reality show. (Monday 30 January 2017; 17:56)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,803) (71,809) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh my goodness, haha I am literally on the floor laughing, Eric ban this crazy one right now. Kidding kidding, we love Edward, he's the best. Edward I can't with your crazy story lines. Don't give ideas to Stella, I swear I'll hunt you down if you speak this into existence. Is it bad that I kinda would actually love to see this play out haha, this sounds more interesting and well thought out and consistent than Season 1, which was an edit room mess with all the random montages and disregard for timeline or truth. (Monday 30 January 2017; 17:50)

Some of the annoying "dance scenes" (71,808) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Licia, I dug these up especially for you haha, this is part 1 of the beach scene, you can see them doing the awkward dance. This is the kissing moment (which was repeated 3 times.). This is them dancing at the gazebo. Ok so this scene here is a scene from the previous episode, where M keeps throwing herself at Tanaka on the bus, this is the continuation. Finally we have the M fixing Tanaka's hair moment. Ok so I was looking for the scenes of Nick and the kids to post, but I couldn't find them, if I do, I'll definitely get them for those who want to see those without having to watch the whole episodes. (Monday 30 January 2017; 17:43)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,796) (71,806) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While that is true, it was pretty much confirmed that whatever happened was between James and M's employee, not Mariah herself. It's confirmed because it was sent to TMZ and TMZ gets "leaks" directly from Stella. Setting that aside, this isn't the only questionable thing though. They changed a lot of things, which they themselves have confirmed (some even on the show) before. For example in the beginning of the show it's shown that Stella asks Mariah to postpone the wedding and Mariah agrees, James was upset about that but he tells M to figure it out and agrees to wait. But this episode Stella says that James pushed back the first wedding date. Then it was pretty much confirmed that James left Mariah (various reasons came up, none of which were confirmed) but in the show, by the end, they show that Mariah has a change of heart and decides she can't be with James because he's not a good guy, so she called off the wedding. The song that she's promoting by saying it's about her break up from James, doesn't even sound like it's about James. Yet they are pushing it as a stunt. So there is a lot of shady business going on.

Re: MW finale plot twist? (71,800) (71,804) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It gets really hard to defend Mariah when she herself is sabotaging her image and career. Around the end of the show I think she says something about she hopes people will understand why she did what she had to do or that people won't understand. But then how can you expect people to understand when you, yourself, have been showing people how you have been in flirting and semi cheating on your fiance all throughout the show and partying with her crew but whenever James comes, she's suddenly too busy to give him any time. Even if we ignore whatever was shown on MW, let's just take into account all the snap chat videos we saw of Bryan and Tanaka getting cozy and him wearing her robe and all that crap, had the table been turned, how would she react to see James grabbing and groping at his female employees and making them sit on his lap and then putting up pictures of said female employee in his night robes? Even until the last part, in the gazebo when M and Tanaka were talking and she said she's upset but she thinks he has his "own set of issues" with her, I thought, maybe finally she'll turn it around and say that "look I know you probably like me in a way, but sorry, I don't like you like that, I like you as my friend". I was really hoping for that but then she goes and does those fake kissing scenes, which we now know was shot over a two day period, day 1 was the sunset scenes, where she has her hair and makeup done and those close up were shot and day 2 is when they took long distance photos and her makeup wasn't done and those pictures got leaked. Both of them were wearing the same outfit to make it look like it was the same day and yet we are supposed to believe this staged 2 day event is reality. (Monday 30 January 2017; 16:56)

Re: MW finale plot twist? (71,770) (71,789) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Now that we've had the worst possible scenario as the finale, can you please share your theory/idea? I need some positivity after this mess. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:36)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,781) (71,788) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter For sure there will be more of those awkward dance steps that they do everytime they see each other, whether it's at the bar, in the house, at the gazebo or on the beach. Stella will be lurking in the shadows like she does everytime M and Tanaka are alone and eventually come out when things turn a little too much, because she needs to ensure her position isn't taken by anyone. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:34)

Re: MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,783) (71,787) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha absolutely. Ain't no way Stella will allow anyone to have Mariah but herself. In season 2 we'll see how Tanaka was only using Mariah and Stella is the only one who loved Mariah unconditionally and with all her heart. (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:32)

Re: Nevermind, it's a bop (71,782) (71,786) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The longer version does make the song sound more promising. I just wish the lyrics were a bit better though. I have always been a fan of Mariah's lyrics because they are always so unique and poetic. Anyways I might change my mind when I hear the full song. However I don't think that at some point in the song she'll say it's partly her fault, especially after the latest episode where she basically talked about how "he's put her through hell" and how horrible the relationship was. They are trying to turn it around by saying M was the one who got hurt because James was bad and so M dumped him. Throughout the season there wasn't even 1 scene where James and Mariah were alone talking, it was always her arriving at a public place/party with her entourage and then basically "socializing" with James for a few hours and going back home. Whereas there are so many scenes of her alone with Tanaka and flirting. How can a relationship survive like that? We don't get this feeling just from MW though, remember we were all talking about how M is never alone on dates with Packer because her entourage is always there in paparazzi shots? So weird. In the scene where they were trying to figure out (or Stella basically rejecting) the wedding date, Mariah was like "oh well what about the 16th?" And Stella is like "no you're not available". I'm like what? She can't take a date off for her wedding? Even regular people get days off. Funny to say "oh we can't be together, our schedules don't match". (Monday 30 January 2017; 12:31)

MW episode 8 : Mimi L review (71,773) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) M and Co. are having a good time at the zoo. It's their last stop for the tour. 2) Unnecessary scene between Bryan and Tanaka (basically talking about how they're both excited about him being the co-creative director). 3) Haha M is wearing the most ridiculously impractical high heels (stilettos, no less, not even wedged heels) to a safari park. Can relate 100%. 4) She's putting on her last show. Stella is crying watching M as she performs. Post show celebrations. Drama-naka is already complaining about how Anthony is not down with Bryan's new promotion and he's complaining about it to Stella. 5) Nick is here. They are celebrating Dembabies birthday together. It's a cute scene. M says they have a cool and great relationship and they always have each others backs. M and Nick's mom also seem to have a good relationship. They are laughing with each other over Nick's turban. Roc said Nick looks like Aladdin, haha. 6) Stella comes in talking about how James' people have sent 3 dates none of which works for M's schedule and makes a remark about how those people sit around and play with their balls all day while M is actually busy because she's a superstar. Now it's true M is a superstar but she just mentioned 2 scenes back that she has some time off now that her tour is over, so why not make an effort? Stella is being a diva and talking about how M doesn't have time, jeez, like this wedding was apparently supposed to happen before the tour started, you already postponed it so now that the tour is over they can't spare one date? M asks Stella what will she do, like M, it's your life girl. 7) Mishka's Bat Mitzvah scene. Honestly it looks like she doesn't even though the people at the party, since she is just standing around with M and her other cousin. Stella talks about how Mishka and M have become best friend. Totally normal. 8) Tanaka introduces M to his mom. Ok now we're at the gazebo scene with M and Tanaka, get this, it's even cheesier than the preview. He's actually dancing with her in the gazebo alone and fixing her hair and holding her hands, kissing her hand and all. They talk about whether M will marry Packer or not, blah blah. 9) Anthony just gets to know about the co-creative director situation. Tony is not happy, but he accepts it. 10) Studio/preview moment. 11) Mariah tells Stella she can't go through with the wedding. They discuss about how people thought it was a perfect relationship but apparently James put her through hell, Stella says something like "the minute he pushed back the first wedding date". I'm a little confused, at the beginning of the show didn't they show that Stella asks M if she wants to postpone the wedding and M agrees and she calls James and it looks like James was upset about it. Anyways they talk about how horrible the relationship was. 12) Hawaii. There's a very short scene of M singing 2 lines from VOL while she's playing the piano and I wish there was more of it. 13) Back to the Hawaii beach scene, we again have a moment of Tanaka and Mariah dancing, her tipping back and him pulling her towards him. How many times do we need to see this? Haha, it's so corny and weird. Just 5 seconds ago she's talking about taking some time and loving herself and she's already jumped into a "new relationship". So they are really going forward with this. There is a huge montage of scenes from the beginning of Tanaka and MC moments. He's talking over it about how he'll now go after her with all he's got because she's the girl of his dreams and he's definitely sure that they'll be together now. Ok kissing scene. Haha they show the same kissing scene 3 times for impact. That's a wrap folks. (Monday 30 January 2017; 6:14)

I Don't (71,772) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is a longer version of the preview than the one on Mariah's twitter. It sounds much better than the previous song we heard, so I'm waiting on the full track, which will be released this Friday. I haven't watched the episode yet, but from this clip, is Mariah trying to say she left James? Wasn't it pretty much confirmed that he left her and she was surprised? (Monday 30 January 2017; 4:52)

Re: Will the real clown please stand up? (71,744) (71,758) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha, nailed it. Genius. (Sunday 29 January 2017; 16:47)

Re: The name of the song (71,741) (71,757) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You all need to pay more attention to the clues they dropped over the weeks, the obvious name of the song is "Fudge You, Pay Me (Inconvenience Fee Anthem)". This will be followed by the re-sung "Empower Women remix" and the "live laugh light remix". The actual word won't be fudge, it with be something that rhymes with luck but since Eric won't allow curse words so ya. Stella basicallly spelled it out for all of you in her photo caption. Thank me later. (Sunday 29 January 2017; 16:46)

Re: Here's the clip (71,705) (71,708) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I didn't particularly enjoy the snippet, but according to some people who heard the final version, there are major differences, so maybe the snippet doesn't actually represent the final product, but just her laying down her vocals in the studio. Here's to hoping the final version will be better. I do not hear the resemblance to "Side Effects" (that song is perfection), but yes I guess we'll have to wait and hear the final version. (Saturday 28 January 2017; 15:28)
