Lambs, I'm getting worried... I've read a few reviews of the show and they aren't pretty. She's getting a lot of bagging for her voice declining. If you listen to 'I'll Be There' especially you can really tell her voice isn't the same. When she performed that exact song at the start of last year she killed it and now it's just not there
I think this was the worst timing to go on tour when she's in the middle of a divorce. I really hope she improves!

According to a lamb who attended, he posted this on UKMIX:
"WOW!! I still can't believe I got to see Mariah Carey perform last night at her opening show in Tokyo, Japan! As a long time fan, it was truly a dream come true to see her in person (She looked absolutely stunning btw!) And no, Mariah was not perfect, but that didn't matter much. That charming personality that we all know and love was out in full force. She knows how to captivate an audience and interact with people in the crowd. She even tried saying some phrases in Japanese (i.e. Aishiteimasu!!)
I'd be happy to answer any specific questions about the show, the tour, her voice... anything really! She didn't sing live the whole way through but the setlist was quite long (2.5 hour show). Live vocals are indicated with an (L).

There is still hope since she performed so many songs
