Mariah Carey at least demonstrated some sort of generosity towards her fans when she interacted with the crowd. I have seen many shows with a stronger set list, nicer-looking stage and far better overall production for less than that price. Had I known the set list would consist of only 15 songs, a third of them boring, I never would have paid 150$. The diva finished on a higher note belting out My All, recent hits Obsessed and We Belong Together and the encore Hero. The discofied version of Heartbreaker almost sounded more amateur than Disco week on American Idol. Fans did seem to enjoy her older songs like Always Be My Baby and Honey, but newer songs Angels Cry and The Impossible dragged the overall mood down a few notches too many. Throughout the show, Carey didn’t get very physical on stage apart from walking, or trying to, the length of the stage, getting lift up by her dancers and sitting down to get her hair and makeup fixed. The onstage mishap happened when Mariah Carey was singing Make It Happen with several male backing dancers.

The cheesy song arrangements definitely matched the cheap-looking, talent showcase-type stage. The concert, along with the long costume-changing interludes, started going downhill from there. They married in 1990 and remained married until his death in 2010. Right after starting the show off with recent catchy singles Shake It Off and Touch my Body, she displayed her vocal prowess with Fly Like a Bird, which would have been flawless had the band not tripped in the beginning. What an amazing lady long live Martha and her brilliant legacy. One thing is sure though: She proved to all her skeptical fans that she was still a powerhouse and that she could still reach her famous whistle register. Still, I couldn’t help but wonder if she had not “shot” a video the night before all of her other concerts. However, Carey did apologize for her late arrival, explaining she was very tired from Wednesday night’s shoot of the Haiti charity single Everybody Hurts. 4th, perched on a fancy-looking swing hanging from the ceiling, 75 minutes after opening act RydazNrtist finished their four-song set. Self-proclaimed diva Mariah Carey finally came out on stage at the Bell Centre, Feb.
