FAN REVIEWS

Jonny: "Mariah was on fire once again! Saturday night's show at the MGM Grand did not disappoint! Mariah looked beautiful as she descended down to the stage in a long gold gown, different from the one she's worn the past few shows, and curly hair. The setlist was essentially the same as Friday night, with the addition of 'Up Out My Face,' which Mariah said they've been back and forth about putting in the setlist. Mariah revealed that it was Nick's idea to put 'Emotions' in the setlist. A festive moment for this show was a birthday celebration onstage for choreographer Debbie Allen, who came on stage for a splash and to be serenaded by Mariah with 'Happy Birthday.' It was a great show from start to finish, with exceptionally powerful performances of 'Love Hangover/Heartbreaker,' 'Emotions' and 'It's A Wrap.' I am looking forward to seeing what the rest of this tour has to offer!"

Carrie: "To summarize my night, I'd have to say it was a phenomenal one. Mariah came on stage at a reasonable time. I was worried that she would be late like she was for the previous concert. Compared to my last concert (The Adventures of Mimi), the show was so much more intimate, and I enjoyed my seats (fourth row-thanks HBF!) She made a lot of jokes about her drunken speech' from a few weeks ago, and every time she did the crowd roared with laughter. Mariah had no trouble poking fun at herself and the rumors, and it made the mood of the show more relaxed. She did talk with the audience every now and then, and waved to fans throughout the show. The band was great, the dancers were incredible (especially during Angels Cry when a man and woman were hanging from the ceiling!) and Mariah's back up singers who we all know and love were both singing their parts and-even though they were high up-smiling and waving to members in the audience. After tonight, I have no doubt in my mind that 'The Voice' is still as powerful as ever."

Brad: "I was in the front row, stage right, seat A8. I enjoyed the concert a great deal. I saw her in Vegas at the Pearl and also on New Year's Eve at Madison Square Garden. The show had a pretty good flow. The 'birthday party' for Debbie Allen was unexpected and kind of cute. Although it is clear that vocally Mariah relies on a backing track, when she improvises her vocals she is at her best. Vocally, a real stand out of the night was her seated performance of 'My All.' Personally, I enjoyed the special interaction I got with her since I was the closest person to her and I am very tall (6' 3"). For example, she and I sang back and forth on 'Make it Happen' and her face lit up when she noticed my change of outfits into the Angels Advocate Tour T-shirt. Also, during the encore performance of 'Hero' she smiled when she noticed I was now wearing the concert T-shirt from her Music Box Tour of 1993 and she pointed at me and sang 'a Hero lies in you.' I pointed back at her too. Big Nasty also gave a wave when I shouted his nickname. The crowd was ok. Parts of the center section did stand and dance but too many people sat in their seats at all times. Overall, it was a very special night and I loved overhearing an elderly couple, as they were leaving the theater, say to each other 'that was a pretty good concert.' It put a smile on my face."

Carlos: "I had a great night and great weekend overall! The show was fabulous and Mariah was so divalicious as usual. It was actually my first time seeing her in concert and I was not disappointed. Mariah is so down to earth and very funny. She was even poking fun of herself over the whole champagne incident lol. She was dressed really nice all night. She wore 4 different dresses and they were all sexy. And she still hits all the right notes and sings way better than most of these performers now a days. She went from from song to song with no hesitation. She sang songs that everyone knows like We Belong Together and Hero, and also sang fan favorites like Subtle Invitation and It's A Wrap. My favorite part of the show was when she sang Fly Like a Bird, she really sang that song lol. It was so amazing, it gave me goosebumps. The negative part of the show was that most of the crowd was really just a boring casino crowd which I don't get why you would go to a show that you paid big money for and just sit there the whole time. It doesn't make sense to me. But anyways, I would go see her again very soon. Hopefully she'll come back around next time she releases new material. And I'll be there!"
