Mariah Underwhelms In Australia


Mariah Carey may have sold out her Australian tour in mere minutes [click here if you missed that], but the Diva didn't exactly thrill the crowd...

A review from the Brisbane Times was scathing, 
"The diva has turned into a downer... But Mariah has become a caricature of herself - and not in a lovable Dolly Parton kind of way... Mariah seemed too absorbed to give us much at all. She hobbled around the stage in heels, escorted by mystery males, touched her hair incessantly and disappeared backstage three times while back-up dancers and singers entertained a yawning crowd... "She flailed amid poorly refined production with awkward silences, unrehearsed lighting , uneven levels and a backdrop of graphics more suited to a 1998 Windows screensaver than a multi-million-dollar worldwide tour... And, to top it off, she didn't even play the hits!"
