mariah carey
by mikmicha on 1/26/10Fox Theatre Detroit - DetroitRating: 5 out of 5I love Mariah and essentially loved the show. She had an opening act of rappers that were good but unknown. She made a spectacular entrance from a swing coming down from the ceiling. She sang wonderfully, was in a good mood and relaxed. The show had a number of high powered dancers with several numbers performed. Because this was Motown, there was a Michael Jackson tribute and a brief allusion to Diana Ross. She had several costume changes (wish they were out in the open). The lighting and seating were good. Criticisms: her music was too loud drowning out her voice much of the time making lyrics hard to hear. She did not sing any of the hit songs I know and love her for. She sang mostly hip hop songs that did not rate well in record sales. The no camera policy sucks and the phone camera nazis made the concert experience bad because they were always in the aisle blocking my view telling people to stop using the phone or they would take it away.
