Mariah Carey review – no bells but plenty of whistles for the diva
Qantas Credit Union Arena, Sydney
The leading lady of R&B and hair-raising displays of melisma admits to feeling bleak, but still hits all the high notes
4 out of 5 Stars
Mariah doesn’t need to dance. She doesn’t need zany costumes or elaborate stage props like Miley, Katy or Taylor. Mariah just is.
You may have scoffed at the cheesiness of the diva, but her influence has become so grand she has become a category unto herself. As St Petersburg Times journalist Sean Daly once wrote, watch any reality TV music show these days and you’re bound to come across three types of auditions: the talented kids, the weird kids and the Mariahs.
The audience witnessed for what reason her physical energy had to be reserved: her third song Emotions, Carey hit that legendary whistle register perfectly – a clean lift that would be the envy of any Olympic weightlifter.

In launching My All she faltered a little, but like many career mistakes before her – Glitter, Charmbracelet, Eminem – she instantly redeemed herself with a trill here, a whispery vocal there and a gentle caress of those signature curves.

That's why her stage presence is so underrated. She can slay the stage on her own without any of those extra props like the review said. So yeah... I always thought her stage presence was great - and haters use the excuse "she doesn't have stage presence' because there isn't anything else they can criticize her for.
Grammy winner Mariah Carey wows crowds and silences critics at Sirromet Winery concert
The Grammy winner and former American Idol judge used her greatest weapon — “that” voice — to silence her critics last night when she thrilled 6000 fans at an outdoor A Day On The Green concert at the Terry Morris-owned Sirromet Winery, just north of the Gold Coast at Mt Cotton.
Anyone who didn’t go last night based on her last Gold Coast show: sorry but you missed out, this was Carey to the power of 10.
A true star in the finest old-Hollywood tradition (think Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth, Greta Garbo), Carey hasn’t just got it — she flaunts it.
Last night’s show was a reminder why Carey, armed with one of the best sets of tonsils in pop music, has won and kept so many fans — and why she remains the highest-selling female artist of all time.
