About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Apple interview (109,559) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Exciting. She however needs to stop Apple Exclusives and focus on Spotify if she wants more chart success. I know she has ties with Apple through Gamma but Apple Music is no where near Spotify in terms of chart placement and Spotify keeps foiling her because she goes to their competitors.

Apple interview (109,553) by Bobby A from United States MC16 is done. MC16 will have 11-12 songs. There are Mariah ballads. The second single is coming soon. It is very summery and MC loves the beat. I am not complaining, but why just 11-12 songs? Is that an industry standard these days to increase the chances of individual songs streamed to increase album sales? (Tuesday 1 July 2025; 06:59)

One Heart, One Voice (109,497) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't like it either. It's quite dated and just not my taste. Glad for 3 iconic women coming together to lend their vocals to a song but I am not listening to it for a second time haha. (Friday 27 June 2025; 17:21) this is a reply to message 109,495

One Heart, One Voice (109,495) by Randy from USA I don't like it. Here's the thing. I knew it would be a ballad from the 90s. I knew it would feel "crowded". And I do think it's genius how he interchanged them throughout the verses. I am a Mariah Carey fan and what's most important to me is a lyric. Then the vocal. Then the arrangement. The lyrics are both banal and generic. It's not a song that needed to be written. It's been written before. I feel as though this is one of the songs sung before a Super Bowl national anthem with young girls from around the world tryna count steps with lame choreography. It belongs at the end of a really bad movie where the credits are more entertaining than the plot. My favorite person on this board woke me up out my sleep with a text for this? It's just Another Trite Hope Song rackin my brain like crazy. (Friday 27 June 2025; 16:40)

Fans being obsessed with being #1 (109,467) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Because Mariah literally said (through Gamma) that she wants to surpass The Beatles record. I don't understand why fans even question that Mariah is not obsessed with chart numbers. She literally gets annoyed when people miscount her #1s and reminds people of her song of the decades. I'm not saying she shouldn't, she earned it but I am just surprised when fans think that Mariah doesn't care about it. (Wednesday 25 June 2025; 19:10) this is a reply to message 109,454

Fans being obsessed with being #1 (109,454) by Jay smith from United States Why are you guys so obsessed with Mariah having a #1 why does it matter if she is being recognized and she is being exposed to the world so you think the general public cares about being #1 no so get over it. (Tuesday 24 June 2025; 17:38)

Merch (109,418) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah needs to release a "I don't have time for the rigamarole" t-shirt and maybe mugs haha. (Friday 20 June 2025; 14:49)

Leaked track (109,409) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol yes this is the one I heard to in addition to another one. It's so bad I cringe. Kudos to the "mmhm" in the beginning haha sounds exactly like Mariah when it says that, but everything else, each lyric is so bad and so juvenile. (Thursday 19 June 2025; 16:59) this is a reply to message 109,408

Leaked track (109,408) by Chicago Lamb from USA You're welcome. (Thursday 19 June 2025; 15:41)

Possible MC16 track (109,406) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter True and whatever "leaks" probably comes from the artist's camp to generate buzz. (Thursday 19 June 2025; 02:23) this is a reply to message 109,405

Possible MC16 track (109,405) by Edward from USA These days, it's pretty easy to keep songs and albums from leaking since everything drops on streaming first anyway. So if something shows up early online, chances are they wanted it to. (Thursday 19 June 2025; 01:23)

Possible MC16 track (109,404) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I can't view it for some reason but if it's that TikTok account which "leaked" two "demos" one being velvet smoke or something and the other a song similar to "bitch I'm Mariah" I hated both. Mariah would never do those lyrics and it was too shouty. I think they're keeping tight leash on the material and won't allow leaks. (Wednesday 18 June 2025; 23:41) this is a reply to message 109,401

Possible MC16 track (109,401) by Bobby A from United States This just leaked on X. What are your thoughts? (Wednesday 18 June 2025; 20:30)

Promo (109,402) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did the promo stall this week? Is she only focusing on radios? No talk shows, live performances etc? She should also do the Hot Ones show if it is still ongoing. (Wednesday 18 June 2025; 22:40)

Summertime Ball (109,395) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter RuPaul is iconic. Mariah would be amazing on that show. They did a bunch of Mariah homages over the years. (Tuesday 17 June 2025; 13:02) this is a reply to message 109,393

Summertime Ball (109,393) by Zachariah from Croatia For example - Ru Paul Drag Race. I thought it was a show about cars. (Tuesday 17 June 2025; 07:36)

Promo (109,389) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope Mariah does some creative promo that has wide audiences. Example when in UK she could have done the Chicken Shop Date show with Amelia. It's an awkward funny type of interview and Mariah could have really let her humor shine. I know she's doing a lot of radio interviews but got to mix it in with some popular ones. (Monday 16 June 2025; 23:57)

Mr Beast (109,387) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Mr. Beast finally put the song in his story. But I mean dude at least link the song. Apparently these influencers charge an arm and a leg to post for promotions. (Monday 16 June 2025; 22:52)

Hot 100 debut (109,386) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah back on the Hot 100 at 95. Congrats. She's back with a solo song so I'm happy. I hope they keep promoting for it to chart for a bit longer. Fingers crossed for a remix. (Monday 16 June 2025; 22:49)

Music video (109,376) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was hoping someone figured it out hahah because I still don't get it. They were writhing in pain and Mariah was laying there smiling. Like what lead to that? (Monday 16 June 2025; 15:46) this is a reply to message 109,374

Music video (109,374) by Carlos from Brazil I still don't understand why all the men are on the floor in pain. Were they poisoned? I feel like I miss something. Hopefully everyone rewatches to search for the clues and we gain streams. (Monday 16 June 2025; 15:39)

Summertime Ball (109,357) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She got more steps on that stage than she did in years now. (Monday 16 June 2025; 01:40) this is a reply to message 109,354

Summertime Ball (109,354) by Edward from USA She walks. It's a miracle. She's probably been hiding from us since 2014. (Monday 16 June 2025; 00:58)

Summertime Ball (109,351) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah left me gagged and on the bathroom floor with her performance. When I saw the stage it had this very long ramp that leads to a centre stage and I was like no way is Mariah walking that well I was damn wrong. First of all I'm so very glad she didn't wear a gown and instead wore a shorter romper dress she looked so pretty and youthful and she wore some sensible shoes. When I tell you I was hyperventilating when Mariah started walking the ramp and not just walk she walked without any help I was screeching because it's so rare nowadays. Not only did she walk, she interacted with the audience, bent down to talk to a little girl, then again to pick up a lamb toy someone threw on stage. She also looked like she wanted to sprint across the stage during the WBT ending but then thought she shouldn't. Mic was on, she sounded great. I also choked when she said during the start of WBT that it was a song of the decade and that she doesn't say that a lot but "tonight I will", I was like yasss queen own your shit.

MV thoughts (109,349) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The more I watch the video the more I like it haha because it's hella camp. It makes very little sense but it somehow works and has replay value. What I'm dying at is the fact that Mariah is quite literally doing only glamor shots but the people around her doing the most to make it look like she's doing a lot haha. She's so precious, needs to be protected at all costs. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 17:30)

Mimi in Danger (109,348) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ms Danger or just "Dangerous" itself would be a good album title. Someone said her album is going to be titled Type A and I hope not haha because it sounds like a disease. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 17:29) this is a reply to message 109,347

Mimi in Danger (109,347) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I want that to be her album title. A name that catch people's attention and check her out. Maybe "Mimi: Ms. Danger". (Sunday 15 June 2025; 16:15)

Mr Beast never post on his page (109,346) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya that's my view too. And as crazy as it sounds people are now saying Mariah and Sabrina are competing for the song of the summer. It's crazy because who would have thought at this point in her career Mariah would be competing with the newest breakout star. Now don't get me wrong I'm not delusional, Sabrina is killing it on streaming and will probably end up winning by a large margin, because she has a huge label push behind her, her Spotify deal and huge fan base coming from Taylor Swift fans too. But it's so good to see MC still being talked about as a main competition and not just a legacy artist. I'm liking how gamma is handling her as a star and not a legacy artist. I think it's very ambitious to put it out in the world that she's coming for The Beatles' wigs (kidding hahah). So I am keeping hope that it'll be a good era. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 15:50) this is a reply to message 109,345

Mr Beast never post on his page (109,345) by Tevin from USA Let's be patient. Maybe they are timing everything. Music drops last week/big radio push so the song can chart. Music video drops this week, which hopefully will make the song chart higher the following week. Video cameos including Mr beast, drops next week, which should push the video even higher. Who knows, it's just a guess, maybe maybe they are playing the long game, slow burner here. We have to remember that in today's musical landscape, younger audiences play the biggest part, and unless it's Christmas related, Mariah isn't just going to shoot to the top anymore on the charts. Let's see how everything goes, before we start speaking doom and gloom. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 14:57)

Mr Beast never post on his page (109,342) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They probably will stagger the promotion and his contract maybe to post the next day or a few days later once the initial buzz goes down. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 10:22) this is a reply to message 109,339

Mr Beast never post on his page (109,339) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia If the reason why they get to him is to gain viewers from his 450 million subscribers, then the mission is failed, so far. He never post or repost it. I visit his channel and yes it is true that all his videos have high views, his latest video has 70 million views in just 7 days. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 09:09)

Music video (109,323) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I watched it twice. My thoughts and 2 cents. - The video seems to be a mix between ILT, Boy and Slave For You. - I think Mariah looked absolutely stunning in every shot, my favourite being her "Britney" look with the black smokey eyes and the Mr. Beast scene where she looked like she's straight out of TEOM era. I love the risks she took with her looks including the red lip. She looked stunning in the silver bedazzled look to but that's her usual look. - I thought JK said the video was longer than we think? But it wasn't. Or did he mean that we'll keep pausing on the boys haha. - First high budget video after a while but I think it lacked a strong storyline or I missed it. I like the different "acts" being different men but I wish there was some context and dialogues like Honey/Heartbreaker. The CGI was a bit too much for me especially the diamond one in the first act lol. I was hoping for something more like "Boy is mine" video from Ariana. - I heard there are more cameos other than Mr Beast. Which is smart to introduce her to new audience. I hope their contracts have requirements for them to post over the next few days. I'm dead at the "I don't know him". - Why were the all laying on the floor in pain? - Why was she so stiff in the first act? I get being nervous on stage but she literally had full control here. (Sunday 15 June 2025; 00:49)

It's starting soon (109,308) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The countdown is on YouTube. 23 minutes to go. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 20:36)

Bill (109,307) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Count your days. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 20:17) this is a reply to message 109,303

Bill (109,303) by Edward from USA Big mistake. Last person who called Bill handsome on this board got their face scratched off by Bobby A. We have a code around here, read carefully if you care about you face, everyone knows Bill's handsome, but we don't say it. One guy wouldn't stop, and, well... he moved to Indiana and we never heard from him again. I would suggest you get a helmet. I realized I said it twice in this post and I'm panicking. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 19:46)

Video (109,306) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm cackling at the last line and listen they were predicting the future because that indeed is a stint for current Mariah. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 20:17) this is a reply to message 109,300

Video (109,300) by Bill from the UK I hope it lives up to the hype. I remember the Crapfinity video was supposed to have "major stunts" in it. All the stunt ended up being was Mariah walking down a few steps unaided. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 18:57)

Where's the damn video? (109,305) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Apparently I do have time for this rigamarole because I keep checking hahah. It was supposed to be out 11 am est it's not 2 pm est. What on earth is going on and Mariah's team seems pissed at JK because they're putting the blame on him. My thought is this isn't new, this has happened to Mariah before with videos so why keep repeating the same mistake and just have stuff ready to go in advance if you know this is a possibility. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 20:16)

Video (109,299) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol last message I saw from JK was it's on the way. But like what does that mean? Are we talking about minutes, hours, days? The anticipation of the video combined with the high promises (earth shattering surprise) and continued delays is causing meltdowns all around. I'm constantly refreshing. This had better not be another laying on the floor, touching herself glam shots video. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 18:42) this is a reply to message 109,298

Video (109,298) by Haiji from United States Better be worth it lol. (Saturday 14 June 2025; 17:57)
