Mariah Carey causes MELTDOWNS
This is what real legends do.
Quote:
Mariah Carey fans hyperventilated, cried and were left speechless when they found out the pop singer was coming to the Gold Coast.
Hollywood celebrity Sophie Monk, Titans players Nate Myles and Greg Bird, Bronco Scott Prince and even Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek were among the crowd.
Fans, many who have followed the 42-year old since her debut hit Vision of Love 22 years ago, sported handmade outfits proclaiming their love for Carey and could barely contain their excitement as they flooded into the venue. Fanatical fans Karlie Ilsley, Brooke Harris and Eliza Blackburn travelled from the Sunshine Coast and spent their New Year's Eve making "I Love MC" t-shirts.
"She's been our idol since childhood," Ms. Harris said.
"I hyperventilated when I heard she was touring here and then we drank champagne to calm down because we didn't think we'd get a ticket.
We didn't do anything for New Year's Eve - this is our big event."
Megan Heymer, 26, drove six hours from Gladstone to meet her Brisbane-based sister Nicole Hides, 28, before they took a limo to the Coast for the show.
They remember growing up singing in front of the mirror with a fan blowing while doing Carey's famous hand movements and then spending every festive season singing along to her famous Christmas album.
"My husband told me she was touring here and I cried then rang my sister and told her to come down - she was speechless," Hides said.
