writes "The Hollywood Reporter reviewed Mariah Carey's opening night show
on the Adventures of Mimi Tour. "Somewhere along the line, someone in the
highest echelons of the music business apparently told Mariah Carey that
a tight red jewel-encrusted leotard with a lampshade-style fringe-skirt
was a great idea," the reviewer writes. "The so-bad-it's-good diva act
tends to work best when a costume is genuinely imaginative, it fits spectacularly,
and the star is in on the joke (Cher, Madonna). Carey, on the other hand,
seems to have no idea how ridiculous her progressively more tawdry array
of bedtime attire has become -- and how sadly it all detracts from the
things she does well. After all, she can actually sing." Read more."
August 7, 2006 - Michael
Hamersly of the Miami Herald was on hand for The Adventures of Mimi tour
kick-off at the American Airlines Arena Saturday night (August 5). Hamersly
said Mariah Carey "showed a near sellout crowd that she and superstardom
definitely still belong together." He added, "Unlike her 2000 tour, which
opened with a 10-minute video featuring Carey's evil twin Bianca, who tries
to hurt the 'good Mariah', her Mimi show emphasizes substance over inane
skits." Read more, and check out pictures from the gig, here.
Additionally, video is available from YouTube.
