They're great!
Maybe I should thread this review and title it "Mariah dragged in Australia review".

It's not just that Mariah Carey's famed, five-octave vocal range is still intact. (Though it is.)
It's the sum total of all things gloriously and ineffably Mariah that made last night's Melbourne concert such a multi-sensory delight.
Admittedly, we were nervous. We'd read her recent bad reviews. We'd seen the videos in which she struggles to reach the high notes. Had the world's best-selling female singer lost her touch?
A handful of songs and one costume change in – as Carey hit her stride with a pitch-perfect rendition of Cry – the answer was clear.
What better way to open than with classics such as Fantasy and Emotions? If you're Mariah, you enhance the experience with a full-length, hot pink, fishtail velvet gown – accessorised with a wind machine and synthetic smoke. You stroke your hair a lot. When a high note is on the horizon, you brace yourself by touching your ear and adopting a pained expression, provoking the crowd into losing its collective mind.
Honey, Touch My Body, Thirsty, Supernatural, Fly Like A Bird, and a medley of other hits are all performed wonderfully. Sometimes accompanied by ripped shirtless boys spinning on their heads – and why the hell not?
Hero, which has everyone singing along, is backed by a photo montage that includes Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, and aid workers plucking distressed children out of disaster zones.
Almost two hours in, you farewell us with We Belong Together. There is no encore but fans don't seem to expect it. With a flourish, you gather your enormous, electric blue hoop dress – the evening's second fishtail number – and sashay into the night.
Rival divas, take note: this is how it's done.

However, as soon as she hits those trademark sky-high notes in Emotions, any fear about her losing that incredible voice are swept aside. And it is kind of fun being in the charmingly eccentric Carey’s world for a night. Well, for the hour or so she was actually on stage.

^ The reviewer just complained that she wasn't on stage long enough for that concert, but people in the comments are saying she was on for two hours.

The wait is killing me.
