DISAPPOINTED

Mariah Carey is too much of a Diva and does not appreciate nor respect her fans in my view. I’ve always wanted to see her perform, knew she would be tardy but this person made her appearance about 945pm for an advertised 8pm, my daughter and I started sleeping after the lonnng wait time. The show was kind of ok last about 1.5 hrs but a lot of talking, dress change, makeup, tea request etc. Sadly, I wouldn’t waste my time, energy and money on her show again.

AMC WAS A HOT MESS AT MSG

Maybe because the show was being taped for a TV special but MC was confused and unprepared for a show she has done a thousand times. She finally came out at 9:30. Sipping tea and having hair and makeup touch her up after almost every song and reading from a teleprompter like she never saw those words before. Billy Porters song was excruciating, Drew Barrymore’ rambling on about MC practically curing cancer and saving lives was TOO MUCH. MC was in good voice sometimes and hitting that high pitch too many times. She looked gorgeous and the staging was spectacular. The Rockettes were a nice holiday NY addition. MC was clueless with the set list and was lost several times. I hope she does better on Friday’s concert

LIP SYNCHED AND LATE

The Dec. 13, 2022 show was scheduled for 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Mariah entered the stage at 9:44 p.m. It let out around 11:45 p.m. which makes it tough for many on a week night. She stunned me when she stopped singing and just lip synched, allowing the chorus to hide her laziness. She seemed to have trouble hitting high notes at times and her pauses to fluff her hair, take a sip of her tea and have make up artists pat her face while on stage were obnoxious! The costumes were great, I love the Rockettes, and her band is fantastic! The mother and daughter duet was sweet but some of the other filler acts were just meh. Overall, very disappointed with Mariah’s performance.

IT'S OKAY BUT NOTHING MORE

Show started almost 2 hr late on December 13th - and not a single word was said why or apologizing for the delay. There were many kids in the audience so starting around 10pm is rude for families. Maria herself didn't sing that much unfortunately, there were filler acts and guest singers.

DON’T WAIST YOUR MONEY

Mariah was over and hour late on Dec 13th Madison Square Garden! A DJ opened played some then sajad Mariah would be right out! Well an hour later with no examination. She came on 9:45pm. Wild! She would sing one of her high riffs with all the finger and hand movements she does and then the choir would take over and purposely drowned her out (if she was even singing ). Really never saw anything like it. Her daughter actually sung a song which was beautiful. Disappointing and insulting to say the least

WASTED TIME & MONEY

No apology for starting nearly 2 hours late. It was actually quite sad to see this once great performer miss so many notes and cues. Fortunately the choir was able to cover up quite a bit. There will need to be an enormous amount of editing to get that show ready for 12/20 broadcast. The dancing was very good and the sets were magical. But never again.

ALMOST 2 HOURS LATE

Incredibly rude to her fans, making them wait 2 hours for the show to start. I was looking forward to it but this just left a bad taste and I couldn’t fully enjoy the show after her diva like start.
