The Celebration Of Mimi (105,295) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I'm not too worried about there being no music because of this. She announced many "Butterfly Returns" dates and still released Caution same year. I definitely think we'll at least get a buzz single before the shows.

Mark Ronson (105,288) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

That would be an interesting and refreshing collaboration. The Barbie soundtrack was perfection.

Collaborations (105,287) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Replying to my own post haha, I would also be interested in seeing what a collaboration with Billie Eilish and her brother will look like.

Collaborations (105,283) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Who are some current relevant artists you'd want Mariah to collaborate with? Their musical style may be completely different which could allow Mariah to either compliment with contrast or try out a new style or it could be someone who's vibe matches with her. No limits. I would like to see:
1) Drake
2) Sza
3) Ariana
4) Taylor (I know this won't happen but I would love to see what they'd come up with as they both have strong pen game)
5) Miley Cyrus (MCxMC, after last night I would be interested in the duo)
6) Bruno Mars
7) Coldplay (how insane would that be haha)
8) Rihanna
There was a time I would have said Beyoncé but I honestly don't care anymore about that.

Grammy (105,280) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I wonder if this move by Mariah is a strategic campaign setting herself up for nominations next year. The possibilities are endless.

Single drop (105,279) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Ugh Taylor and her bazillion remixes only to get 1 week at number 1. I hope Mariah knew in advance about Taylor’s drop (even if she didn’t know it was a new album and not Rep TV) and planned her releases accordingly.

Grammy (105,278) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Ugh I didn't get to see the introduction. I need to dig it up. I wonder if it was a subtle dig at the Grammys by Trevor. It's insane to me how an award that is about the best of the best in music failed to give Mariah the recognition for literally being the a legendary trifecta - singer, songwriter and producer. Literally there is no MusiC with MC.

Grammys weekend (105,277) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I know as fans we may think that Mariah should pay dust to Grammys as they snubbed her but even though Grammys have recently been called out by many artists they are still one of the biggest nights in the music industry so I think Mariah deciding to work with them has been one of the most strategically clever things she did recently. In this industry she needs to play the game to her advantage so if that means dancing with the devil every now and then so be it haha. Also I loved how beautifully Miley shared the symbolism of "Butterfly" for the little boy, Mariah and herself. It was so nice of her to request MC to stand next to her. Same can't be said about Taylor and Celine.

Grammy (105,267) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Ok now that I've had some time to absorb this whirlwind of a surprise. Here are a few thoughts, I am so happy for Mariah getting the love and admiration she deserves by getting a standing ovation. Everyone looked like they were in awe of her and Miley was so pumped even backstage she was gushing over Mariah. I absolutely love the huge publicity Mariah got over this weekend and I hope she uses this momentum to her advantage. The industry is fast moving so she needs to make her move when the spotlights on her. I'm glad she didn't announce anything today because Taylor did and that's going to be a whole storm. But MC make your move. I think this Grammy collab has been a very strategic move for her and if true I'm glad she's finally playing the industry game to her advantage after so long.

She's here (105,262) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

She looks stunning. I didn't manage to see the full footage of her but the photos look stunning. She also presented the first award to Miley Cyrus. I'm a little shook because Miley was hating on her a few years back but she did fan girl today which I'm sure you can't help when you're in the presence of the Mariah Carey.

Video (105,259) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Ah yes now that Mr. Momoa is single, I would love for MC to get together with him so I vicariously live this fantasy through her haha.

Mariah at pre Grammy party (105,255) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Mariah looked stunning last night in the silver dress she wore. Queen gave us a gold and silver look back to back. I hope if she attends tonight, she serves a great look. This will be one of her biggest appearances in recent year. I'm excited to see some celeb interactions.
(Sunday 4 February 2024; 22:26)

Video (105,253) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Depends on the song but I want some high quality videos with storyline and/or replay value. I would also like some celebrity cameos. Caution videos were high quality but did not really have a story line. Like GTFO and With You had Mariah looking stunning and looked high quality but has no replay value especially for non lambs and we need lambs and casual listeners to be hooked if we want a successful era. The Caution videos looked like high quality behind the scenes magazine photo shoots. We can't just have Mariah looking beautiful and posing on camera. We need videos like ILT and WBT, Heartbreaker, Honey, where we had beauty shots but there was replay value plus celeb cameos, also witty videos like TMB.

Mariah coming to Grammy's main event? (105,251) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

She has been at two of the pre-Grammy events this weekend and Halle Bailey said she'll be here on Sunday so it's looking like a possibility.

Taylor Reputation (105,249) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Taylor is definitely going to announce Reputation TV tonight on Grammys or on her next show in Tokyo in the next few days. I wonder if announcing Mariah’s new work during this time is gonna be smart. Taylor will definitely dominate all headlines.

Mariah coming to Grammy's main event? (105,247) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Agreed. I think at this point it's a given she'll be there although I haven't seen a seating chart photo of hers yet.

New music announcement coming up (105,246) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Stop, where did we get this info from? It would make sense with her amping up her public presence. Also I was hearing her website is down. Wonder if they're uploading new album stuff. If the prediction of her releasing something in Q1 is true it would make sense for her to announce it soon. I don't want to get my hopes up but I also can't help but get my hopes up haha. I wonder if this new relationship with the Grammy's is a strategic move on her team who campaigned for her to be an integral part of this year's celebration to put her in the limelight.

Mariah coming to Grammy's main event? (105,242) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Did y'all see the red carpet interview of Halle Bailey and they ask her about Mariah. It was at the award function Mariah was awarded at, and Halle says she's excited to see Mariah that night and also Sunday, which is Grammy night. I wonder if we're getting a performance. Or maybe she's just going because they recently honored her.

Moody Mariah Nights (105,241) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I love it and she looks so stunning in video, 1997-2000 Mariah beauty was on a whole other level. Her ad libs at the end gives me life. I love the way she sings the verses it's very similar to WBT, they both have the rap-sing kind of style which leads to the dramatic ad libs on the climax. I don't know if I'm making sense haha.

Moody Mariah Nights (105,238) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I hope so. I was watching some of her "behind the scenes" from TEOM and interviews and she looked so confident and content that people are finally done writing her off. The Mimi roll out was perfect. She was all over looking like the superstar she is. Then she had the most iconic images for her album, some of her best videos till date, the whole "The Voice is Back" campaign. I hope she can replicate it to some extent.

Moody Mariah Nights (105,233) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

I'm in a moody Mariah Nights playlist kind of state of mind today haha and I just wanted to come here and express how much I'm in awe of the artist that is Mariah. She definitely does not get credit. Yes she's known for her vocals but Mariah's pen game, her melodies, her hooks, her lyrics, her "ahead of time" musical visions is just otherworldly and genius. The way she uses her voice too should be studied, how she uses her whistles so creatively, how she layers her background vocals, how she creates a wall of music with her voice. People are always in awe of Taylor Swift and how she's a great songwriter and while I agree Taylor is definitely good but Mariah is a thousand times better and just doesn't get enough credit for it. Mariah, if you're reading this, thank you for being the soundtrack to our lives.

Also my playlist has been all over tonight hahah but it includes but is not limited to The Roof, Babydoll, Love Story (the aye baybay always gets me), Side Effects, Thanx 4 Nothing, GTFO, Crybaby (ok so it's 5 am and I still can't sleep took some medicines but it's not working , yussss queen), Don't Forget About Us, My All, Breakdown, Betcha Gon Know.

Tributes (105,230) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Don't hate me but I think all the tributes MC gets are just so meh. Why can't we ever get a relevant artist to do the tribute, she's THE Mariah Carey. Also why do people limit the tribute songs to only the first 3-5 years of her career. She's got so many hits I don't get why it's always VOL, Make it Happen etc.

Couture (105,219) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Hahaha I too was thinking it'll be Kardashian Konnection. They wear a lot from the designer. But I agree the styling/draping could have been better to add drama like the run way.

Recording Academy Global Impact Award (105,218) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Honestly I don't know much more than you about the award but I hear it's not an actual Grammy or part of the main event so it's not a televised award. Apparently Grammy's has a pre Grammy week and this is one of the recognition awards.

Look (105,217) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter

Mariah's face looks straight out of 1999 it's crazy. That face no flaws. I'm torn between the dress I'm happy she's indulging in high fashion (she's wearing Schiaparelli) but I don't love the dress. For a second I thought the bodysuit is back haha until I saw the full photo.
