People in Austrailia truly have the patience of Job. After patiently waiting for over a decade, countless prayers, and countless twitter trending topics like "Australia Wants Mariah Carey", and cutting trough miles of red tape, the Aussie Lambs were finally rewarded with their wish. 15 years had elapsed since Mariah Carey's stilettos stepped on Australian soil, so therefore a visitation from the Songbird Supreme was long overdue. From my years of gathering news, Australia had not been very nice to Mariah in the tabloids so maybe that can be attributed to why she had not ventured there since the Butterfly Tour. Anyways, Mariah kicked off the new year by performing 3 shows in 3 different cities in Australia. The first in Gold Coast, the second in Sydney and the final one in Melbourne. Im proud to say that all 3 shows had myriad fantastic moments because Mariah's iconic voice was in it's finest vocal form. Lets have a moment and mention the high points of each show, shall we?
Gold Coast:
Mariah first got things warmed up in the Gold Coast. One of the many high points of this particular show occurred when Mariah experienced technical difficulties with sound. However, in lieu of just bawling out the sound technicians, Mariah creatively bawled them out by singing through her frustrations with a series of powerful well executed ad libs that were all on key and nothing short of awe inspiring! Mariah truly has an ear for music. Once again, she showcases her impeccable ability to remain on key regardless of what octave she's in! Peep the video below:
Sydney:
One thing that always gets the Lambs giddy is when Mariah decides to sing songs from her earlier work. Due to Mariah coming down with a case of the nostalgia, she decided to treat her fans to something really special. The residents of Sydney Australia truly got a wonderful taste of the old school. Mariah shocked the hell out of everyone by performing snippets of "Love Takes Time" and "Can't Let Go". She had not sang these since her Adventures of Mimi Tour back in 2006 but nevertheless sounded excellent! It truly was something to be heard. Don't believe me? Take a listen below:
Melbourne:
Since this was Mariah's last stop in the land down under, she decided to vocally go out with a bang. As I've said before, every single show was consistently amazing, I'm just pointing out my opinion of what were the magic moments of each show. For this last leg, Mariah performed one of her christian classics, "Fly Like a Bird" from the "Emancipation of Mimi" album. The vocal power house was nothing short of magnificent during this song, so it's surely to have you jumping up and down praising whoever your almighty is.
