What had happened was Carey had been lambasted for her previous shows, as she launched The Elusive Chanteuse Show in Asia.
But fans in Singapore were treated to a different show - complete with the high notes and runs she is known for.And for most part, she hit those delicious high octaves with ease, giving me goosebumps, of the good kind.
The two-hour show (shockingly, it started at 9pm as stated) was a showcase of the songs that made her a superstar in the 1990s: Heartbreaker, Honey, Emotions and Fantasy - all from her early albums - were crowd favorites.
And to show up her critics, she constantly sang, even talking to the crowd in a sing-song voice to prove that she could still, well, sing.
In the end, those famed vocals hardly proved elusive, after all.
I always wanted to see her in concert....but she seems like her Concerts are kind of boring in the sense she doesn't dance but it would be great to hear her sing when she is in top form
