About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Vegas setlist was not changed, lies (65,683) (65,686) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh they keep bringing on the heartbreak. I knew this was too good to be true. Yet got fooled again. Like last time they said that Mariah will replace "Infinity" with a different fan favorite song every night, yet there were no changes. I mean how hard is it to do that (just choose an old fan favorite)? This time when they said she'll sing a new song, I was wondering why she'd do that without releasing it first. Now it's clear, this isn't happening. At max, we'll get the Empire song this October. (Monday 29 August 2016; 0:14)

Re: Meet and greet mess (65,682) (65,685) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Not sure if they got the refund yet, but they said that they were told they will get a partial refund. Why was your friend asked to leave? They didn't get to attend the show? That's weird. Also why does your friend have to return the things he bought from the shop? As far as I know, those are charged separately right? (Monday 29 August 2016; 0:11)

Another edit (65,680) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Eek someone made this edit, and I think it looks so good as well. Love the color combo, the hair and everything. (Sunday 28 August 2016; 22:39)

M's edit (65,670) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter M, I'm guessing this is your account? I absolutely love this edit you made. I think it's beautiful. Love the photo you chose, the hair and the dress. Beautiful work. Mariah take note. She looks so classy and beautiful. (Sunday 28 August 2016; 0:41)

Re: Mimi on Empire (65,662) (65,663) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Kitty is apparently a very dear friend of Cookie, according to Taraji. So I don't think there will be fights. But I'd love for Cookie and Kitty to sit together and throw shade at people just for the sake of it hahah. But I think mostly Mariah will be involved with Jussie. I really really hope they sneak in a little Glitter reference now that Timothy and Billie are going to be back in the studio. So it would be a nice gift for the fans. Mariah has said before something along the lines of "Why be on Empire if I don't have a good character arc" so maybe she'll be in more than one episode? But I doubt it. She looks really beautiful in the promo. I hope the song gets a lot of attention. (Saturday 27 August 2016; 20:03)

Re: Meet and greet (65,652) (65,656) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't know first hand of course, but I read about it on UKMix from people who were in attendance. Two different members talked about it, so that sounds believable. But I was wondering if anyone on this board can confirm this. If she actually is upset about something, that combined with the complete silence of the Kardashian wannabes is really something to worry about. I hope she is doing fine. No matter how much I complain sometimes, I care about her well being and I hope whatever happened is fixed soon. (Saturday 27 August 2016; 14:40)

Re: Meet and greet (65,651) (65,655) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Well she might have been upset and they did say that the fans would be getting a partial refund. Plus I don't even know if the rumor of her is crying is true. I asked for confirmation. She is human too, she can be upset and instead of cancelling the whole show (which people complained about during the first leg) she gave them a good performance but she probably wasn't feeling good enough for a meet and greet. I see nothing wrong with it if she has returned the money. (Saturday 27 August 2016; 14:35)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey "threw a laptop out the window" (65,649) (65,650) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I can actually believe that her manager would pull such a stunt, especially now that it has been so long and they didn't issue a clapback (whereas Stella is notorious for her immature clapbacks when it comes to the rumors about her). But if they planted these stories, they should know they are playing with fire. Little rumors like "Mariah will only walk on a carpet of rose petals" or "Mariah flies her dog first class" are fine. It keeps her diva image up (which I still think does her no favors but whatever). However when they bring in the name of another big name celeb, especially someone as big as Beyonce, things get complicated. It also adds fuel to the "Mariah can't stand other big name female artists". Honestly Maiah needs a professional manager and a separate PR expert. Not someone who is a C grade producer now experimenting with managing and representing an international icon. (Saturday 27 August 2016; 11:19)

Meet and greet (65,648) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did any of you attend the show? Is it true that Mariah cancelled the meet and greet? Apparently the show was 15 minutes late because they were announcing the cancellation to the VIP ticket buyers. Is it also true that she was apparently shedding a few tears during "I don't wanna cry" and some other song? Can anyone confirm these? (Saturday 27 August 2016; 4:00)

Re: It's oh so quiet (65,646) (65,647) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No it's fine now. It wasn't working when I wrote the post. You are right about the silence, it is weird. (Saturday 27 August 2016; 3:58)

Re: It's oh so quiet (65,639) (65,643) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha in that case congrats to Marissa for making it happen. But I doubt that she took back her social accounts. Speaking of the petition, why is it unavailable? Did someone take it down? (Friday 26 August 2016; 19:16)

Re: The voice dilemma (65,597) (65,598) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just to be clear, I wasn't directing my post at anyone in particular, so I don't want to think I am attacking their views. I do agree with you that she should do songs that she can replicate live. Songs that she can sing live suited for her current voice. (Wednesday 24 August 2016; 20:52)

The voice dilemma (65,595) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter My wish for Mariah would be to embrace the flaws in her current voice and just go ahead and sing entirely live, because let's be real, even on her worst day, she can out shine any of the current artists. She just needs to take care of her voice a little better and maybe rest it right before the performances. But I understand her need to lip sync sometimes. It's because people just expect way too much from her vocally. I mean even on this board how many times have we heard "oh Mariah lost her voice" or "Mariah can't sing like she did in the early 90s", whenever she tries to sing with her current voice live. We all know Mariah is terribly self conscious and it's because of this very reason how people just expect her to sound pitch perfect and flawless all the time and expect her to sound exactly like early 90s Mariah, this causes her to resort to lip syncing. If fans were maybe more open to letting her just use her current voice without complaining about every tiny flaw, I think she'd have at least attempted to sing completely live. And this whole voice scrutinizing only happens with Mariah because when Adele delivers a bad performance, it's always "oh the back up messed up" (which wasn't untrue, but had she messed up either ways, people would still give her the "everyone has bad days" pass). Every time Mariah messes up we get the "oh she has no right to mess up when she dubs herself the best selling female artist/The Voice". No one can doubt Mariah has an immensely beautiful voice. Over the years it didn't stay as smooth, but to constantly judge her for that and then comparing her to other artists who have managed to keep their voice is a little too much. The way all of us have different way our body reacts to age and other factors, voices of different people change differently too. There is no rule of thumb. Unfortunately I think it's too late to ask Mariah to sing live because now she's already been driven over the edge of trying to sound perfect and that's an insecurity she won't ever get over. It's a shame really because she still has the most beautiful voice I've heard. (Wednesday 24 August 2016; 18:17)

LA's tweet (65,594) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Apparently it was about Ciara. Her name has been removed from Epic's roster right before LA tweeted about it. (Wednesday 24 August 2016; 18:05)

Beyonce rumor (65,579) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The Bey rumor is getting serious. A lot of sites are picking it up. I usually think it's better for Mariah not to respond to these, but I think in this case it'd be better to give a subtle "clap back" by maybe putting up a video of her singing along to Beyonce or playing her music in the background (like she had in an old video, where she was in the car and Beyonce's "Party" was playing in the background). This new rumor is getting so much importance that even people I know who don't even read the tabloids much and let alone bother to know about Mariah, are aware of this. But of course Stella won't take any measure to fix this, because previously when the rumors were buried before it spread the fire, the Chambers Group was the one representing Mariah and burying those rumors while flooding the news with more positive stuff. Ever since they left, we have a plethora of negative articles and no one from her camp can do crap. So now you should know that before you give credit to Stella for "reviving" Mariah's career, this woman will basically have immature and unprofessional clap backs as a response to things and she will only respond to it when people are doubting her intentions or attacking her daughter. Only Mariah can go from one messy group to another. (Wednesday 24 August 2016; 6:45)

Re: Duet (65,555) (65,559) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I can't dea with that rumor. It's just so extra haha. If we even assume it's true, can you picture James playing "Crazy in love" while having sex, and then Mariah throwing the laptop out while screaming and waking out the door? It's just too much hahha. I don't think it's true though. The only source that could give such a story is the Bulochnikovs because they live with her and how would anyone else know what happens inside the house. That being said, it's definitely not true, Stella wouldn't risk her position until she has her Kardashian fame. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 15:15)

Re: LA Reid's tweet (65,550) (65,558) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah no, his very next post was "this is not about Meghan" and he tagged her. LA only concentrates on Meghan, so he wouldn't diss her. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 14:01)

New rumor (65,551) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The new ridiculous rumor is Mariah threw out a laptop outside the window after James tried to play Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" during their love making session. She apparently went screaming out the door. Now, first of all, that song is ruined. Secondly, I don't believe a word being said here, because this is ridiculous and where is Mariah's publicist/manager/BFF now? Or will she only clap back at rumors attacking her and her daughter? (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 12:43)

Re: LA Reid's tweet (65,541) (65,548) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think L.A. would have the guts to write that about Mariah haha. Maybe someone is claiming to be signed on to Epic but L.A. is clarifying that it isn't true? Not sure though. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 9:53)

Re: Duet (65,530) (65,543) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is actually a great idea. I'm totally here for a collaboration with Beyonce. Beyonce has been experimenting a lot nowadays and I like that. I don't necessarily love the entire albums she has released, but there are definitely some good songs. Plus if Mariah is going to collaborate with another big name female star, I'd rather it be someone current and relevant and Beyonce is as relevant as it gets now. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 3:06)

Re: New promo (65,536) (65,542) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What's worse is it is being used in the vertical position inside Caesar's Palace and some other places and that looks weirder. (Tuesday 23 August 2016; 3:03)

New promo (65,532) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is the full version of the new Vegas promo picture. This is the ad featured on taxis. (Monday 22 August 2016; 20:27)

Re: Mariah to release EP in September? (65,516) (65,521) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If you are talking about this, then I highly doubt it, I mean would Mariah really release an EP on 9/11? Plus I hope it's not true, because what are these song titles? (Monday 22 August 2016; 13:11)

Re: Nick Cannon (65,491) (65,494) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha trust me, neither can I. This song has been ruined for me. I am just praying it came on by mistake while the playlist was shuffling and that it was not played on a loop. What would be worse is if it was a live version (like the "Fantasy" live version she played for the birth of dembabies - which was cute). But having the live version of "Hero" playing and people breaking into an applause when Nick was, um, successful, would just be hilarious. (Sunday 21 August 2016; 12:16)

Re: Almost Home - love making (65,489) (65,493) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha gosh Edward get outta here. How will I ever listen to these songs without thinking about the image that you all have painted so vividly in my mind. (Sunday 21 August 2016; 12:13)
