Mariah superb in Las Vegas
Mariah Carey kicked off the North American leg of her "Charmbracelet Tour" during a sold-out show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, July 26, 2003. Carey is promoting her latest album "Charmbracelet" which has sold over three million copies. Here is a review from the concert by Zondee: I am very critical when evaluating Mariah's voice and I just came back from the concert and she was magnificent. Her voice was in perfect form. She sang better than her tv performances. She hit a lot of high notes in full voice and held her notes long like she used to in mostly all her songs. She sounded like when she did the MSG concert in 1995. I was very impressed that I am going to see her again in LA. Her voice was in good tune, it sounded kind of high she really couldn't hit her low notes.
She sounded fabolous when she was introducing her band mates by singing and displaying her talents in singing jazz style. She did lipsync a little bit in certain songs - all in when she performed "Fantasy", last part of "Honey", and few parts in "Subtle Invitation" mostly in the end, "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" ending and in "Clown", and I think that was about it.
She sang really good with Trey in "I'll Be There" with a lot of soul. The ballad that was chosen for the night through the internet deal was "Can't Take That Away", where she was excellent, no lipsyncing. She received an outstanding ovation. She wore a really beautiful white dress when she performed "Subtle Invitation" and "I Know What You Want". Busta Rhymes did not show up.
On the whole, her voice was superb, the old Mariah was back. She did not sing "You Got Me" and she did not have an opening act. What was odd for me as well was that there were a lot of older conservative people that attended. Not many people were dancing when the fast songs were on.
Her voice sounded really sweet on "Hero", the last song. She did amazing with "Always Be My Baby", hitting those high notes at the end. She really didn't hold back with her songs she really hit those high note that she usually changes to a lower note when she performs most of the time.
She was very humble and sweet. A fan ran up to the stage during her "I'll Be There" performance and started singing. The security didn't even stop him. Trey lorenz was tripping out, but Mariah was cool with it and gave him a hug and let him sing a line (which was horrible). He was wearing a Honey B Fly shirt. After the concert, fans were yelling out her name on our way out. Can't wait to see her in LA.
