Now Mariah fans have been all sorts of excited for Mariah Carey's Vegas shows, she is literally a living legend and has one one of the best voices in the industry.
but this review below is really hard to even complete, they ripped her Vegas shows to threads , extracts of the review includes lines like "You watch the crash because you want to see how it will end: near miss or carnage, relief or horror, laughter or tears." They accuse her of lip synching and being on the decline.
This fan video footage of the concert might change your mind about the review but it's still hard to even imagine Mariah and her team reading this....harsh much.
LAS
VEGAS — You watch the crash because you want to see how it will end:
near miss or carnage, relief or horror, laughter or tears. Part of the
appeal is the feeling of helplessness — you are a viewer, but not an
agent. Whatever happens, you’ll be affected, but you can’t chart the
course. And looking away is never the right choice.
In
the case of late-period Mariah Carey, it’s the high notes that you
can’t avert your eyes — and ears — from. When she began her career in
the early 1990s, she was capable of outrageous vocal feats, singing
whole octaves higher than almost everyone else, stringing together
dog-pitch bleats into ecstatic runs. She brought something superhuman
into the otherwise grounded world of pop-soul.
But
the notes have not been there for Ms. Carey of late: Some performances
have been markedly off-base, the subject of intense scrutiny. Ms. Carey
is still durable, and sometimes excellent, but her once-transcendent
voice is like decaying manufacturing machinery: It still churns, but the
product might be polished or dinged. You don’t know until it happens.
