3. O Little Town Of Bethlehem/Drummer Boy
4. Christmas Time Is In The Air
5. Here Comes Santa Claus

10. All I Want For Christmas Is You

Fan review (Micoroan on FOMM)
We waited till almost 8pm to get in. The stage is beautiful. There's red drapes on the frame of the stage and gold curtains hanging. There's silver christmas trees on the side of the stage and a huge one in the middle. The band is on the left riser of the stage with the horn and strings section at the bottom of the riser with golden music sheet stand cover with MC's initials on it. The lighting effects are superb. The production crew instructs us the safety and legalities and other stuff while waiting for mariah. Michael Jackson's hits are playing while waiting. Some of the fans sing along (well all of us) when I'll Be There played on the speakers. Background vocals were Mary Ann, Sherry, Trey and Melonie Daniels.

1. Santa Claus/Oh Santa - They instructed us to be quiet until Oh Santa intro came. Mariah is glowing. She's upbeat and very festive. The kids and the dancers from the music video were there. She's wearing the red ensemble like the Oh Santa video one with the white collar. After the song she exits and we wait.

2. When Christmas Comes - This one sounds nice live but the horn section was not there. Only her band and back-up. She changed into the Black enseble with sequined stilleto shoes. Her vocals was nice (but the chorus is a little lipped, but the adlibs are not) She messed up on the ending so they have to do it again. She said that that's not what they rehearsed awhile ago so they did it again from the "la da ra da rap pa pap" part. She was instructing the band about that part while singing it live. It's like effortless and i get goosebumps when she just adlibs accapella randomly. Standing O

SATURDAY'S CONCERT

MC na sobotním koncertu zazpívala Nickovi Happy Birthday. Fanoušek z přední řady na MC zavolal "I love you like freeze pops!" a MC na to reagovala se slovy, že tento song zpívat nebude, že ho ale zazpívá na turné, POKUD na turné pojede. MC zmínila, že song It's A Wrap byl znovu nahrán s hostem, ale neřekla s kým (tzn. další remix je na cestě :). Fanoušci, kteří měli možnost vidět všechny vegaské show, se o sobotním koncertu vyjadřují jako o nejlepším z těch čtyř. MC asi pojede na promo tour i do Autrálie a ráda by navštívila i Izrael (není oficiálně potvrzeno). Její maminka Pat a bratr Morgan byli opět v hledišti.

MC sang Happy Birthday to Nick at the Saturday's concert. Fan from the front row shouted "I love you like freeze pops!" and MC said it back to him and then she went, "I'm not doing that. Well, I will if I go on tour, that's IF I go on tour." Mariah mentioned that she re-recorded "It's A Wrap" with a guest artist but she didn't say who (it means another remix on the way :). Fans who saw all of her shows at The Palms said tonight's final show was definitely the best of all four! Mariah gave a shout out to 2 Australian fans from Melbourne and seemed quite adamant that she would be visiting Australia soon. Another shout out to a fan from Israel and she said she'd like to visit there. Mariah's mom Pat and her brother Morgan were again in the audience.

FRIDAY'S CONCERT

Na pátečním lasvegaském koncertě na sobě MC měla jiné černé šaty než na zářijových koncertech a růžové šaty byly nahrazeny zlatými. MC se zmínila, že noc před koncertem slavili Nickovy narozeniny a že ho překvapila klauny a trpaslíky. Vzápětí si uvědomila, že trpaslík není politicky korektní termín a ptala se, jaký je společensky přijatelný výraz a pár fanoušků zavolalo "malé osoby". MC dodala, že dostat pak tyto malé osoby z večírku bylo "Drama!" Nick byl v davu produkčního štábu a mezi diváky byla maminka MC Patricia a její bratr Morgan plus Tricky. MC vysvětlila, kdo je Rae-Rae (zazpívala verš z Migrate) - je to její kamarádka, choreografka a tanečnice Rachel McIntosh. Manažer MC, Chris Lighty, během show twitteroval: "Show Mariah je zatím tou nejenergičtější! Úžasné publikum! Las Vegas je připravenou na dlouhou sérii koncertů!" Make It Happen nezpívala MC, ale Trey Lorenz a místo sboru zde vystoupili tanečníci. Místo I Want To Know What Love Is zazpívala MC H.A.T.E.U. a také kousek The Impossible a cappella.

Mariah wore a different black dress than September shows on her Friday Las Vegas' concert. The pink mini dress was also gone, and replacing it was a short, one-strapped jeweled, gold dress. Mariah mentioned that husband Nick Cannon's birthday was the night before and that she surprised him with "clowns and midgets." Then realizing she'd used an un-politically correct term, she asked what the socially acceptable way to say it was and a few fans shouted "little person." She also mentioned that to get the little person out of the room last night was "Drama!" Nick was in the crowd in the production area right behind the floor seats. Mariah's mother Patricia and her brother Morgan were in attendance plus Tricky was in the audience as well. MC explained who Rae Rae is by singing a line from Migrate - Rae Rae is Mariah's friend, choreographer/dancer Rachel McIntosh. Mariah's manager, Chris Lighty, twittering during the show: "Mariah show is the most energetic yet! Great audience! Las vegas is ready for this residency!" Make It Happen was performed with dancers without Mariah but Trey Lorenz. MC sang H.A.T.E.U. instead of I Want To Know What Love Is and also a bit of The Impossible a cappella.

IVIAGO "LIVE" STREAM

Iviago nevysílalo live stream z koncertu, jak bylo slíbeno. Přenos byl o jeden den pozdržen a nakonec se z toho vyklubal první zářijový koncert. Iviago zdůvodňuje ono slovíčko 'live' tak, že koncert byl nahráván live v září, aby se zajistila nejlepší možná kvalita. Vy, kteří jste si koncert zaplatili a ještě jste ho neviděli, můžete zvážit i vrácení peněz. Iviago nabízí buď to nebo shlédnutí koncertu dvakrát. Koncert má jen 43 minut, nejsou tam všechny songy a MC je zabíráná z dálky, nemá to kvalitu např. TV show. Níže je vyjádření Iviago.

Iviago didn't broadcast live stream from the concert as was promised. The broadcast had one day delay and the offer concert stream is not from October but the first September concert. Iviago justifies the word 'live' this way: "The show was recorded 'live' on Sept 11 and 12 to insure the best possible quality and reproduction." Fans who paid the concert and can't see it yet, you can ask to refund your money. Iviago offers this option or the possibility to watch the concert twice. The concert has only 43 minutes, doesn't include all songs and the quality isn't great as TV shows are - MC was filmed from the distance. Iviago statements's below:

In related news, those who purchased tickets to watch the advertised-as "live stream" of tonight's show got this email from Iviago: "We apologize for the inconvenience but unfortunately, the release of the Mariah Carey concert live from the Palms Casino has been delayed for 24 hours. The concert will debut on Sunday, Oct 11. We're sure that all of you are as excited to watch the show as we are to release it. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Bob Kasher, Managing Director of GDE Partners: "The show was recorded 'live' on Sept 11 and 12 to insure the best possible quality and reproduction. Due to our and Mariah's desire to give you the best quality audio and video reproduction possible we have decided to delay the release of Mariah Carey Live in Las Vegas by one day to Sunday Octrober 11, 2009. We are sorry for this delay but due to encoding difficulties we've encountered in making this first time event available to a global audience we felt it best to delay the release for 24 hours rather than provide our customers with a product that doesn't meet the highest standards of video and audio reproduction. To compensate you for your patience we will be offering all of you a second stream free of charge along with your original purchase. For those who don't wish to wait we will of course be happy to refund your money."
