Bryan Tanaka has something up his sleeve!

Mariah Carey's backup dancers meet to plan a celebration for her upcoming birthday anniversary in a sneak peek from Sunday's all-new episode of Mariah's World, and Tanaka wants to make sure the occasion is especially memorable for Mimi.

"We got to set something up for Mariah's birthday, her 14th anniversary," he tells the guys. "We got do something crazy on stage. You were saying maybe roll out a cake or something. We got to get Roc and Roe to maybe come out on stage. We got to do something special for her."

Mariah's creative director and choreographer Anthony Burrell also agrees they need to do it up big time.

"Something that's extravagant, something that's huge, that's going to make her just feel appreciated," he says. "She's the reason for all of us being her, so we got to above and beyond even if it's digging in our pockets a little bit. The better we make her feel, the better she'll appreciate us and have us around."

Well, this should be good!
