Fans Walk Out Half Way from Mariah Carey show in Australia!
I run on this from some forum...Is it true?!
Mariah blames sound issues for problematic first Aussie show
first show of her hotly anticipated Australian tour is anything to go by, ultra diva Mariah Carey’s live act is not what it used to be.
After waiting 14 years to see her Down Under, Gold Coast fans were not pleased with Mimi’s performance on Tuesday night according to online reports.
Arriving late on stage after what was described as an “endless series of warm-up acts”, it was reported that the singer appeared out of breath, struggling through the first half of the show after opening with Can't Take That Away from her 1999 Rainbow album.
She also left fans waiting between songs, sat down numerous times and frequently disappeared from the stage for "rest breaks".
The singer blamed the show’s issues on sound problems, complaining on stage of not being able to hear through her earpiece, saying it was distorted.
"There's like 200 of you, can one of you just fix the ear thing," she reportedly called to her crew, adding: "I hope I'm not asking for the moon and the stars ... there's a lot of sound problems going on here. I don't know if it's me or you, or something in the air, but can we fix it?"
As a last ditch attempt to save the troubled show, mumma Mimi brought her 18-month-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe on stage to thundering applause from the crowd of nearly 5,000 screaming fans.
Inappropriate much?
Last night the 90s icon arrived in Sydney ahead of tonight’s Allphones Arena concert.

I went to the show and IT WAS HORRIBLE! Been on the phone to get a refund. She winged and wined the whole time on stage. The whole row next me was asleep or dozing off. She sang 7 songs and changed 3 times, each time was a tackier outfit. I guess after seeing acts like the calibre of J.Lo and Beyonce...you compare them. But this was so stupid and the production was awful....it looked so cheap. Whoever is going return your tickets and stay home.

Very disappointed with her concert. 4 costume changes for about 8 songs. and she whinged and whined all night very unprofessionally about the sound problems. Feel ripped off. Nick Cannon was awesome though and Anthony Callea is always amazing live. She didn't even sing her debut song. I've been a life long fan an went to the 1998 concert (which was awesome!) This one just left me feeling like she couldn't be bothered really.

I don't know where you got that song list from but she only sang 7 songs, changed outfits 4 times and whinged and complained a lot! I was a fan but the diva antics have really turned me off Mariah for good. I really wish I didn't go to this concert.

Was really disappointed with mariah. she looked breathless & out of shape. After seeing JLO in concert in Bris recently, I felt that Mariah's show was really unprofessional & boring. Give up the costume changes & really really high heels & start to give the fans some entertainment, by singing the songs that you are most well known for. I wish to applaude Anthony Callea - he has such a beautiful voice & got the job done brilliantly.
