Ronny83 Posted August 29, 2006 at 09:55 PM Author Posted August 29, 2006 at 09:55 PM Connecticut Post Review Mariah Carey Concert Disappointing "Ever get the feeling that you've been cheated?" Johnny Rotten asked that of the audience at a particularly disastrous Sex Pistols concert in 1978 shortly before that group imploded. Had the same question been posed to the fans as they filed out of the Mohegan Sun Arena Friday night after Mariah Carey's concert, the answer would have been a resounding, "Yes." The pop diva gave a show that lasted just 75 minutes and, more unbelievably, she was off stage for about 15 of those minutes. And this for an event with a top ticket price of $150 and "cheap" seats going for $90. It's a shame, too, because it was quite the spectacle while it lasted. Although I can't claim to be a big fan of the singer, I was interested in checking out a big-time pop concert where I wouldn't leave wondering whether the singer was actually singing. When she was on stage, Carey delivered a nice run-through of songs from her latest multi-platinum album, The Emancipation of Mimi, and a few of her older hits. Obviously, a lot of money was spent on the stage, which, dare I say it, glittered. There also was a full band and a handful of dancers with her and a large screen so she could sing along to the videos of the hip-hop stars (Jermaine Dupri, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, etc.) that appeared on her songs. The concert itself was great fun and Carey almost had me forgetting the traffic nightmares on the way to the casino and the fact that the show started a half-hour late. I even thought her giving the spotlight to singer Trey Lorenz for three songs was just a minor annoyance. But the major annoyance was yet to come. After she performed "We Belong Together," she said her goodbyes to the crowd and left the stage to get ready for an encore that would send everybody home feeling thoroughly entertained. It was an encore that would not happen. There was a feeling of confusion throughout the arena when the house lights went up. Could that really have been the end of the concert? Did I really pay $150 for that? Again, the answers were "Yes" and "Yes." It's just too bad that Carey decided to shortchange her audience in this way. It took what was shaping up to be a perfectly fine evening and left her fans feeling a bit cheated. What a rotten thing to do. The set list:It's Like That/Heartbreaker/Dreamlover/Shake It Off/Stay the Night/I'll Be There/Fantasy/Don't Forget About Us/Always Be My Baby/Honey/I Wish You Knew/Hero/We Belong TogetherThe Day ReviewMariah Carey Way More 'Heartbreaker' Than 'Hero' The people at Mohegan Sun got robbed Friday night. It wasn't the people at the gaming tables or those in front of the blinking slot machines, but everyone sitting in the arena for Mariah Carey's concert. Oh, where does one begin? How about she was a half hour late coming to the stage? Or that she did three costume changes in a matter of minutes? Or maybe that her deejay played more songs than she performed. No, I think you really want to know that many of Ms. Carey's fans shelled out $150, that's ONE HUNDRED FIFTY smackers, for a show that lasted barely an hour. Don't believe it? Here's how it went down: 8:34 p.m., the curtain comes up and the audience is treated to a two-minute video about how Ms. Carey's life is similar to a roller coaster. She performs "It's Like That," "Heartbreaker," and "Dream Lover," the last with a hot Biggie Smalls remix to "Juicy" before she leaves the stage. While she's gone, no music is played and the audience just sits and waits. Ms. Carey returns wearing the same outfit, but has added a pair of dark shades to the ensemble. What was the point in leaving? One more song, and then she leaves again. Her deejay plays nine or 10 old school cuts, then she returns and performs two more songs, including a duet with Trey Lorenz. Then, by this time I could barely contain myself, Ms. Carey had the audacity to leave the stage. Again. Lorenz takes over and performs three songs. Ms. Carey returns to perform four more songs, then there's another deejay interlude. The Diva reemerges to sing the last verse and chorus of "How I Love You, Baby" along with "Hero" and "We Belong Together." At 9:45 p.m., the chorus of "Butterfly" comes on, Ms. Carey tells the crowd how much she loves us and exits. She should have just rolled her eyes, snapped her fingers and said, "Don't even think about asking me to sing another song!" Then, we really couldn't have been mad at her because she warned us. But she didn't. Not only did her backup singers and band walk off the stage, but the house lights came on. No chance for an encore or for the fans to chant or shout her name. All you saw were mouths hanging open and heads shaking in disbelief. A sampling of the exit polls: "I spent $300," said the couple sitting behind us. "I could have lost that on the table, brother." "We came for Mary J. Blige. She did two hours and barely left the stage," said another lady. Ms. Carey, you did a disservice to your fans. The next time you think about coming back to the Constitution State, think about the sour taste you left in our mouths. Everyone in that audience deserves a refund. And you owe Connecticut an apology. Quote The Celine Dion Italian fanbase - CelineDionItalia.com

teetee Posted August 31, 2006 at 03:06 AM Posted August 31, 2006 at 03:06 AM as much as I like Mariah I agree that her concerts are way too short. I went to her charm bracelet tour a few years back and it lasted roughly 1.15-1.20 hour. Though I think her performances were great, when it ended I had to look at my watch and went like this if you think singing one song then go off stage is bad, at the concert I went, she went off stage and then "Music Video" of busta rhyme's song that she sings chorus to came up and then a few chorus passed and I realized she wont come out to sing them however, she did come out at the end to sing one chorus and then went off stage again! a few month later I went to Bette Midler concert and it were totally different. Miss M energy was like 10 times of mariah and it was so long that it had to be cut into 2 acts. Made me wished that Mariah could have done a lot better job with her concerts.oh well, I'm still her fan anyway Quote http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k51/t33tee/Set/Celine/S-Celine-001.jpg

Cambroneroj Posted September 15, 2006 at 02:10 PM Posted September 15, 2006 at 02:10 PM Well let me start by saying that I hope I don't get in trouble by talking about this to you guys but I couldn't wait to share it with all of you, and also that this girl has no class at all . I was asked to go to the concert by a good friend who flew in from out of the country to see her in concert. We bought tickets a while back, but we ended up giving them away cause they gave us better tickets, the reason? well here it is and is where it gets interesting: I work for a luxury car dealership and Mariah's managers are clients of our store, I know them for a while .Well this management team ask us to borrow a vehicle worth about half a million dollars to drive Ms Carey around town, so after several meetings we decided that we were going to do it , let them use the car at no charge BUT they would give in return some good tickets to the show including backstage passes to meet the artist, so they agreed , we got the tickets and of course I was not interested to meet her at all so I told my friend (huge Mariah's fan) that he could go and meet her , of course he was about to die ( I was happy for him, I imagine someone doing this for me to meet Celine.So we get to the concert hall and at the last minute they told us that we were not going to be able to meet Mariah cause she does not like people to come into her dressing room, that she is very particular about meeting fans so it was not going to happen, well I didn't really care much but my friend was really sad ,he couldn't believe his idol had refuse to meet him (nothing personal from Mariah to him but he felt that way) im grateful they gave us tickets but the seats on the car her fat #ss drove around town had better seats and sound system than the seats she gave us! So I bought him a couple of beers and we got our seats. Let me tell you how horrible the stage was, I guess after going to Celine's show many times, one gets spoiled , the sound was horrible way too loud for my taste, the girl takes about 10 to 15 mins to change customs! I don't know why, everything she wears is tiny, looks like they didn't finish them and being soo out of shape does not go well with the clothes she wears (nothing against people out of shape ok ,she is a celebrity so she must look great. While she goes to change they have this MC or DJ playing music from Michael Jackson remixes to all kinds of hip-hop and rappers would come in to sing a couple of songs that I had no clue who they were but well. One thing is for sure if Mariah didn't have the whistle, dolphin sounds coming out of her mouth she would be just another artist trying to make it, to me that is the only thing she can brag about , she has no stage presence , walks from side to side of the stage looking like she is lost , she tries to be funny but it doesn't work for her, now this is my opinion of course , you are welcome to think whatever you want about this soo called diva(she calls herself diva after she changes into the most decent dress of the night) so at last I can say im glad I am a fan of a true artist ,a real Diva, a real person, an artist that loves her fans and would never ever refuse to sign something or meet them and shake hands with, Im soo glad im part of Celine Dion family of fans. I love the fact that Celine has the nicest concert hall in the world , the best sound system for a true singer and of course her voice is just the best! going to this concert makes even more anxious to be in AND next month with all my friends, I told all of them that next month they are going to experience true talent and they will see how a concert is suppose to be like.

SuperLove4Celine Posted September 16, 2006 at 05:49 AM Posted September 16, 2006 at 05:49 AM That is just HORRIBLE what Mariah did! I understand being particular about certain things, but that's just CLASSLESS! I swear to God if there was ever a time for me to figure out if I liked her or not this definatley made me realize once and for all that I will never buy another album of hers again. I cannot tell you all how much this pisses me off. I don't care how big a person gets, they should ALWAYS make time for their fans! After all, who is it that got that person to where they are today?! UGH....stupid Mariah....er, Mooriah Crappy. Yes, I too hope that your friend enjoys "A New Day..." and realizes how much more of a TRUE woman Céline is and always will be. Take care,Joe ::tries to cool off:: LOL Quote

Then, you can teach Mariah and her management a lesson and get some compensation! These are also the kind of things that will perfectly go into a tabloid! (I can just see the headlines right now LOL) To borrow FOR FREE a Mercedes SLR McLaren as a trade-off for a one-minute meet-and-greet and to lie about it, leaves me just speechless and angry. SO ABSOLUTELY WRONG! Quote
