About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Conflicted (105,441) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
True, musically it's more Gaga and Madonna, but I think we'll be surprised. Mariah doesn't commit to projects she's not feeling. She must have seen potential in order to do it. And like you said we forget Mariah has been doing dance remixes with Morales and others since the 90s. While I understand some Ariantors may have wanted others, I think a lot of them will support because Ariana is so inspired by Mariah and this is her dream come true.

Not happy (105,437) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I'm with you on that boat, it says "Ariana Grande with Mariah Carey", not Ariana Grande featuring Mariah Carey. So the credit will be 50-50, also I saw this morning that people are saying the remix will be an old fashioned remix which is completely reworked and that Mariah will have writing and producing credits and a verse of her own. Last but not the least guys this might be one of our last chances to get that #1 or at least get a successful song that leads to great promo for her next album, let's support our girl. The Arianators are gearing up so we should do the same. We've been asking Mariah to step out of her comfort zone and to give us something upbeat, and she's finally doing it.

I am also not a huge fan of the song really but chances are it'll be a reworked remix. Now about Mariah and Ariana not liking each other, my opinion is it's not true. Ariana clearly idolizes Mariah and this isn't new. Even in her documentary she gets emotional when Mariah's team contacts her to be on her video. And as for Mariah, I feel like she doesn't really bother to mingle with people she doesn't care for. In the beginning she probably wasn't pleased because of the blatant "next Mariah" label that was pushed for Ariana's launch. But over the years I think that changed. Lastly in my opinion at this point everything is fair game, the music industry is no longer the same, you gotta play the game so if Mariah is using her connections to gain newer audience, then why not? In fact it's smart right before the next album. It's smart business move. Also I don't know how true this is but I saw somewhere that it's actually the opposite and because Ariana got a lot of recent backlash for getting with Ethan Slater she lost goodwill and her single didn't do well (despite being #1) so they're bringing on Mariah to boost Ariana too. Mariah still has a lot of pull whenever Ariana and Mariah are mentioned together it does lead to a lot of publicity so I think it is benefitting them both. Why else would Ariana push this so hard with the physical CDs, the coordinated profile picture change, a rumored live performance?

Ariana Instagram (105,419) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
We must be clowning haha. I mean that's the album cover. Ariana said there'll be many album covers but would she really put Mariah on the cover of her album? I don't think so but I really can't get over how it does feel like Mariah eventhough it's just the back of the head and she hardly ever does that hair haha.

AG + MC = remix #1 (105,416) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I heard the rumor of that photo being Mariah after the announcement and now I can't unsee it. When I saw it before I didn't think much of it I just thought it's Ariana leaning on herself as a metaphor of her just relying on herself.

This week (105,415) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I saw the post 7 minutes after it was posted and just a few hours after my early morning whining on the messageboard and I squealed so hard haha. I hope we get a video. Since this is an Ariana project I'm sure they'll push it a lot. Also rumors are that the first time yes, and will be performed is this Saturday and apparently it's gonna be the remix version. I'm giddy because I'm excited it's actually true and also I have an inkling it'll be a re-recorded remix. We saw the snippet of Ariana playing with the WBT lyrics and just an hour ago Mariah posted a video of her singing WBT on TikTok. This combined with the rumors that she is reworking one of her #1's. Fingers crossed.

Yes And Remix (105,408) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Y'all it's happening. I'm about to pass out haha, I'm literally this meme from The Office. The note Ariana wrote to accompany the announcement, so sweet and heartfelt.

I didn't notice at first but both Mariah and Ariana updated their profile pictures to just their eyes, which is interesting and also there will be physical copies of this remix. This sounds like a lot of planning went into it which is exiting. Ariana has bubbles, hearts and butterflies in the caption, now Butterfly is for MC but anyone knows what the bubbles and heart means? The new picture of the 2 of them is stunning and although Ariana's recent behavior is questionable lol it must be fabulous to have your idol be on your song. The interesting thing is yes and is quite literally Madonna's style I'm surprised Ariana went with Mariah and that Mariah hopped on it. I wonder if this will be one of those re-recorded remixes with a different vibe. The insider accounts mentioned Ariana's new album with be very MC inspired and also that MC fans of re-recorded vocals will be fed soon. Ok ok I'm done rambling for now. I'll probably be back once I let this sink in haha.

This week (105,405) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
So um we were supposed to be getting an announcement today from Mariah either about the remix or something else. I wonder if it's true or if we're clowning hahah. The remix is supposed to be out tomorrow and I saw that an Ariana fan account posted it might be The Weeknd on the remix. At this point there has been so many people's name attached to this remix haha. Also the Nostradamus insider account mentioned that Shakira and Mariah may be collaborating, I call BS on that because the actual news was that Shakira reached out to Mariah to sample IKWYW for a new song.

MC always late to the party isn't just a metaphor (105,393) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I agree with your post. I hope it doesn't happen where she scraps all this but she might. Mariah has said in the past she doesn't want to talk about what she's releasing because people steal her concepts and beats her to it. But she literally has been doing the opposite hahah, randomly we got to know about SUD and that she's remaking it, then we've been hearing about TBL for so long and she said so many times it's ready she's just waiting for a home for it (but why even announce if you don't have a partner for it), then dropping hints about wanting to do a Jazz album, now saying she's mid way through a new album. Also let's not forget we've been hearing about an adaption of her memoirs. All the above projects have been hyped to be released "soon" but for some they've been years and we haven't heard peep.

I hope so but mainly since a lot of these rumors are coming true I'm just giddy with excitement of the possibilities of Mariah's rumors coming true.

Beyonce (105,378) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
The insider account tweeted on January 14th that Beyoncé will release Act II in Q1 of 2024, well she just announced it's being released in March 29th so the account was correct. I will pass out if all the things tweeted about Mariah on that account comes true.

Ariana what are you doing here? (105,377) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
If it goes with the proper crediting and if they find the remix to be the outperforming the original. With Big Energy they said the original outperformed the remix when truly I think the remix led to the original gaining streams but hey I don't know much about the numbers aspect of it. I'm hearing rumours to of Lady Gaga possibly being on Ariana's remix and also Olivia Rodrigo so now I don't know what is going on haha.

Ariana what are you doing here? (105,371) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
(If anyone doesn't know where the topic name comes from hahah it's from Nicki being on Insta live and Ariana starts viewing the live so Nicki says that line.) Ok so I suddenly remembered the post I shared on here with Ariana's demo vocals on a new song where she sings a few lines from WBT. And then I remembered the "rumor" from the insider account about Mariah reworking one of her #1s. Is Mariah and Ariana doing more than one collaboration? What do you guys think?

MC x AG (105,370) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Ok so I'm hearing this rumor is almost confirmed. I'm honestly really surprised that Mariah jumped on this song haha. It was the last song I'd expect to hear her on. So I guess this year is trying new things. I can respect that because we've been wanting her to be out of her comfort zone but my opinion still stands on how this wouldn't do much for Mariah, it'll only help Ariana. But I'm here for any new MC content and loving her new experimental era.

MC x AG (105,368) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Ya the style is very unlike MC (although she might be trying a new sound) but like you said I would want an original song from MC one that has her featured from the start not on a remix because we all saw what happened with Big Energy. Mariah's inclusion obviously catapulted the song but she got no credit. Latto of course gave credit many times but we need official credits hahah.

MC x AG (105,355) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
There's rumors going on that Ariana is releasing a remix of "yes, and?" with Mariah next week. I will believe it when I see it but Ariana did tease that even though she won't release anymore singles until the album is out she has a surprise planned. Honestly I don't know what Mariah can really benefit from being on "yes, and?". The song already hit #1 and Mariah being on the remix probably won't add much to her credit. I guess we'll know next week if this is indeed true. I'm here for any new Mariah content haha but honestly I'm ready for her own releases and wish of MC did collab with Ariana it's on a song that has her on the original version.

Nick back at it again (105,354) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Ahah this is actually an older response and I found it hilarious. This was when I think last year he talked about never saying never to a reconciliation with Mariah.

Article: Miley Cyrus fangirls over fellow M.C. Mariah Carey (105,353) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
2017 was a good 7 years earlier and Miley was a lot younger. She might have since then realized she misspoke and that Mariah is a songwriter and storyteller first and then everything else. I can understand that from personal experience. I didn't know Mariah's work well, infact I was a Westlife fan and one day I hear the Against All Odds collaboration (this was years later after its release, I was a going through my pre teen boy band phase) I was like who is this singer she has a beautiful voice, cut to the MTV Cribs episodes and I was annoyed how many times Mariah was changing and being over the top (I hadn't yet realized her sense of humor). I finally became a lamb during TEOM and then worked my way backwards on her previous releases including replaying the Cribs episode because it was iconic. Once I realized how much Mariah is involved in her music and how she's a songwriter and producer and how she lives and breathes music I was blown away. I was obsessed with finding her re-recorded remixes, checking out her lyrics and all that jazz. It took me more time to realize all the insane layers to her artistry. What matters to be is on stage and in front everyone Miley gave Mariah the utmost respect and the butterfly anecdote to me means she really understood the depth to Mariah's work. Also I can see where her previous comment came from. Even Mariah said she isn't taken seriously as a songwriter. And we all know casual listeners know of her personality before they know about her art. Plus her "shades" go viral everytime. Basically her personality eclipses her art until you actually take the time to see what otherworldly talent she possesses.

Ah yes Cruise Control was way ahead of its time. The whole laid back island vibes. Rihanna later had many hits with the same vibe.

Oh no I love those songs. I think there were other possible hits too like Side Effects, IBLYLT (if promoted properly), ITC. Love Story too if she did the stripped down version that she did for was it VH1 or MTV.

Vogue Legendary cover (105,335) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Vogue released their "Legendary" cover and while there are some real legends on there more than 70% are just random? Y'all have a living legend Miss Carey and yet you get these random people.

Triumphant (105,334) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I'm once again back to express my love for Triumphant. Everytime I listen to it I'm like what a wasted song, should have done better on the charts. The song is so uplifting, catchy, each artist's verses add to the message of the song. I know people didn't like it because Mariah was almost a feature on her own song which was a lead (later termed buzz) single, but overall until this date the song aged well and still gives me goosebumps.
