About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

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. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 20:51) this is a reply to message 105,248

Mariah coming to Grammy's main event? (105,248) by Stacey from USA Ohhh, Mariah and the Grammys? I'll believe it when I see it, lol. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 18:12)

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. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 19:51)

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. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 16:36) this is a reply to message 105,245

Mariah coming to Grammy's main event? (105,245) by Robert-Anthony from United States Women are dominating the Grammy nominations in major categories. Maybe she will make an appearance to support a big night for women. It would be a good PR move to plug her new album this year. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 13:47)

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.

New music announcement coming up (105,243) by Shezz from Pk According to insiders, Mariah is going to announce new music very soon. She has an upbeat pop/r&b song with Cardi B that is a strong contender for the first single. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 11:32)

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. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 04:25)

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. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 02:54) this is a reply to message 105,240

Moody Mariah Nights (105,240) by Stacey from USA Love, love, love me some Crybaby. Definitely doesn't get enough credit. (Sunday 4 February 2024; 01:54)

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. (Saturday 3 February 2024; 23:05) this is a reply to message 105,237

Moody Mariah Nights (105,237) by Robert-Anthony from United States Great post Mimi. I think we are in store for something special later this year. I believe she is watching and listening to what others are releasing the first half of the year to perfect what will probably be her most anticipated album since TEOM. I don't want her rush now to just put out what she has recorded. Take your time, Mimi. (Saturday 3 February 2024; 18:45)

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. (Saturday 3 February 2024; 05:26)

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. (Saturday 3 February 2024; 03:02)

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. (Friday 2 February 2024; 15:22) this is a reply to message 105,216

Couture (105,216) by Norman from USA Apparently, it's Schiaparelli design from F/W 2023. But it really needed the drama of the train and better draping around her body. I had my suspicion K. Jenner might have had something to do with it, and since discovering it is in fact a designer they regularly work with, it's definitely more of a probability that clan had a hand in this. (Friday 2 February 2024; 13:31)

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. (Friday 2 February 2024; 13:58) this is a reply to message 105,209

Recording Academy Global Impact Award (105,209) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I’ve never heard of this award. Why is Mariah paying dust or why is it exciting? Can someone educate me on this history? (I’m being sincere, I’m totally ignorant to this award.) Thank you for explaining the polarization on this award convo. (Friday 2 February 2024; 05:05)

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. (Friday 2 February 2024; 13:56) this is a reply to message 105,213

Look (105,213) by Zachariah from Croatia It is unfortunate. (Friday 2 February 2024; 11:14)

Recording Academy Global Impact Award (105,206) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Pretty sure they reached out to her and got confirmation she'll attend before announcing this. While Grammy's have played her dirty and honestly doesn't make much impact nowadays, the publicity is good build up to her next era. (Friday 2 February 2024; 00:52) this is a reply to message 105,204

Recording Academy Global Impact Award (105,204) by Norman from USA I agree she should pay them dust, but I'm guessing she'll go or participate in some capacity if Lenny Kravitz is going. He's also receiving the same award. (Thursday 1 February 2024; 23:14)

Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,200) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The TAOLG single cover was beautiful and fit the mood of the album beautifully, I wish she would have kept it. (Thursday 1 February 2024; 18:18) this is a reply to message 105,198

Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,198) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I agree. I think she should have added Triumphant (Vintage remix, with the full rain intro - that should have been the actual single imo), plus the ASAP Rocky Beautiful remix, and call it a day. I absolutely don't understand the America the Beautiful inclusion or a rehash of six year old material. My only guess is that Mary J's label and the sex predictor's labels had a contractual obligation that the songs must be included on an official release, which didn't happen with Angels Advocate, as intended. Also the album art should have been the original Art of Letting Go art (either the one where it's her looking over in the bottom right corner or the actual AOLG single artwork). The standard version that's a Emancipation/E=MC2 redo wasn't the right serve, it was redundant. (Wednesday 31 January 2024; 23:37)

Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,195) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Those would 100% be better choices than the random picks from years ago. "Triumphant" to this day remains a good song for me. It was just not the right choice for a lead single (which let's be real it was gonna be a lead but the failure to chart led it to being labelled a buzz single) at that time because people were hungry for new Mariah music and her being basically the chorus girl on the song didn't translate well to the listeners. But I love the video and the song. (Wednesday 31 January 2024; 18:36) this is a reply to message 105,194

Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,194) by Bill from the UK I would have added Triumphant and Almost Home personally. (Wednesday 31 January 2024; 14:07)

Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,193) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I always thought it was because it fit the theme of the album of heartbreak and cheating etc. I wonder why she didn't just have 2 extra songs if she knew she was going to do a Target special or put the 2 Beautiful remixes there (the one that was released and the unreleased dance remix). (Wednesday 31 January 2024; 13:36) this is a reply to message 105,189

Tacking on two Memoirs songs to MIAMTEC (105,189) by T from USA Does anyone ever wonder what the purpose of putting the two songs from Memoirs (Betcha, Its a Wrap) on The Elusive Chanteuse deluxe edition? Was is it strictly because those two fit the theme of the album or was she actually going to put the two singles from the cancelled Angels Advocate project (UOMF, AC - which would've made more sense since they had music videos and some success), but then decided against that idea once Nicki Minaj became such a brat? (Wednesday 31 January 2024; 01:53)

Back to Mariah (105,144) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Your hope may actually be fulfilled because according to the rumours The Butterfly Lounge will have some jazz Mariah. (Sunday 28 January 2024; 00:43) this is a reply to message 105,139

Back to Mariah (105,139) by Stacey from USA I just love her version of Nevertheless (I'm in love with you.) MC, if you're listening as a favor to a longtime fan, please record this song and put it on your next album. (Saturday 27 January 2024; 22:47)

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,124) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter But back then (although I wasn't a lamb back then I was a baby) she would be releasing a new album every year or every other year, at this point I'm dying for new music hahah it's been what 5 years since Caution. I was thinking the other day I hope this is TEOM part 2 for Mariah's career. If Memoirs was Rainbow parallel (I'm not saying song wise, but like career history wise since both didn't perform as well) then MIAM was Glitter parallel, Caution would be Charmbracelet parallel, and Big Energy is IKWYW parallel and then new album would be the return of Mimi. Fingers crossed. (Saturday 27 January 2024; 17:42) this is a reply to message 105,122

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,122) by MusicfanJ from Germany I've always loved her mystery. She was a complete mystery to me back in 95/96 especially and also in 97. I remember when Butterfly was released, it was so much fun to discover all the people she worked with (Puffy aka P.Diddy, Mase, Missy, Sisco, Brian McKnight). So yes, I hope we get some surprises. Just for the nostalgia. (Saturday 27 January 2024; 14:02)

Daydream era - unknown performance (105,112) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What's crazy is right after I left my last message I saw the "Insider" account posted on January 25th that there's a Mariah and Cardi collaboration. To be honest I don't know how much to trust it, because on UKMix (I'm not a member I just lurk sometimes) I see they keep saying the account is not legit but of course like a few fellow members here posted they did get a lot of stuff right in terms of Ariana's album roll out. (Friday 26 January 2024; 19:22) this is a reply to message 105,106

Daydream era - unknown performance (105,106) by Carlos from Brazil I also find it amusing that none of those artists seemed to care about a collaboration with Mariah, mostly Bruno Mars who was supposed to be the feature on Fall In Love At Chritmas but wasn't a holiday person at all. (Friday 26 January 2024; 11:56)

Daydream era - unknown performance (105,102) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha to be honest I don't get The Weeknd hype. I know it's unpopular opinion but most of his songs sound the same to me for some reason. It's sad that Mariah, who normally doesn't talk about about other singers she wants to work with, named 3 artists recently and none of them really replied back. The Weeknd, Bruno Mars and Cardi B. Although Cardi did do the interview with Mariah and has fan-girled over Mariah. Another unpopular opinion but I would love for Mariah to patch it up with Nicki. Nicki was clearly always a fan and still praises Mariah, I just think the producers egged them on to create drama. I love the UOOMF remix and think a fresh Mariah feat Nicki song would be fire. (Friday 26 January 2024; 02:54) this is a reply to message 105,101

Daydream era - unknown performance (105,101) by Robert-Anthony from United States Right. I can't understand why MC being so secretive this time around. She didn't post any studio pics during the recording of Caution. We would have never known that she was working with Poo Bear if had he not said anything. I just wonder during the recording of the early stages of Caution if she regretted mentioning wanting to work with The Weekend after their conversation. It seemed like he never took her serious enough to make things happen. I think that pissed MC off knowing that she publicly said she wanted to work with him. He seems really arrogant to be around. He never gives any interviews. He broke Selena's heart. His Superbowl half-time show was a hot mess and boring. I don't think MC and The Weekend would have any fun in the studio to create anything. Can't you tell I am a fan of the The Weekend? (Friday 26 January 2024; 01:49)

Daydream era - unknown performance (105,100) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter A Sza and Mariah collab would indeed be dreamy. I'm all here for it. Damn Mariah give us something to let us know you're gearing up for a return to form. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 23:43) this is a reply to message 105,099

Daydream era - unknown performance (105,099) by Robert-Anthony from United States I want another Babyface collaboration. He co-wrote Sza's monster hit, Snooze. We need another Babyface collaboration and a Sza feature. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 23:27)

Quantity vs quality (105,086) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'll go for 6/10 Mariah album with a couple of big impact hits, that'll set the stage for her next projects and introduce her to new listeners. I really hope she has a solid roll out plan this time. We don't want more test and abandon singles. Also let's be real a 6/10 Mariah album is still going to be better than most of the albums out there. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 14:58) this is a reply to message 105,080

Quantity vs quality (105,080) by Tevin from USA Would you rather have a rated 6/10 Mariah album with one or two big hits (top 10 or better on Billboard) or a solid 9/10 album (because nothing will beat the perfection of Daydream) with no popular hit singles (doesn't hit the top 40 on Billboard)? Of course I'm hoping we get a solid quality album with hits, but I'm curious to hear what you all pick. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 04:49)

Insider account (105,049) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I want a Drake and Mariah collaboration. Drake clearly admires Mariah because ever so often he randomly posts photos of her on his story or on his feed. (Monday 22 January 2024; 21:27) this is a reply to message 105,044

Insider account (105,044) by Robert-Anthony from United States Obsessed was her last huge upbeat song. It might have done better on the Hot 100 if Gucci Mane was not on the remix. MC should have chosen Drake for the original mix. Also, something tells me MC will have multiple gospel songs on MC16. (Monday 22 January 2024; 12:55)

Insider account (105,039) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So after y'all brought up the accuracy of the insider account I went and looked at some post and excitement has peaked (I hope we get all of these). 1) The new sound of the album being more happy and up beat like TMB, Honey, SIO etc. 2) Mariah working with a bunch of top producers. 3) Mariah remaking one of her #1 songs or using it as a sample on a new song. No one spices up samples like Mariah does so I am intrigued, what song do y'all think it is? 4) The Butterfly Lounge still being a thing and including new and legendary artists. 5) A song with an acapella/piano intro and then breaking into another rhythm. 6) A possible orchestral project and writing for a movie soundtrack. 7) Mariah with a k-pop artist or group. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 20:14)

Andrew / Mimi L. (105,038) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ahh clearly my comprehension skills left the room when I was reading ahah. I love E=MC2 and it had so much potential I would be really excited to see if the new album indeed single worthy song heavy. Mariah is in one of her beauty peaks to parallel her 2008 beauty peak and she is the most confident when she feels her best. I'm ready to be taken over my new Mariah material. Hoping we get some cool collabs too. Mariah usually posts a lot of photos from the studio when she is recording but the strategy of posting nothing and then announcing the new project will be even better. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 19:59) this is a reply to message 105,037

Andrew / Mimi L. (105,037) by Shezz from Pk I think Pedro meant to say that the "style of music" of the album is similar to that of E=MC2 according to the prediction account, not that the album is called "musical style". Apparently she has also filmed all her recording sessions as well. And yes, we are all going through our own battles that does not make someone or allow them to behave like that. Robert Anthony you cannot let someone like him fill you with self doubts. You are an amazing, intelligent person with a very beautiful soul. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 18:27)
