 I Don't Have The DVD BUT I Have Seen This Concert May 8, 2009
Ervin Griffin (Bluefield, WV)
From a concert standpoint, it isn't Mariah's best but she still puts on a good show. The voice isn't quite what it was years ago but she can still outsing a lot of these so-called pop stars these days!
She sings many of her best hits from "Its Like That", "Heartbreaker", "Dreamlover" and "Butterfly." She even gets together with members of Boyz II Men for "One Sweet Day." Overall, a good (not great) concert. Short of 5 stars but is a 3 1/2 star concert (had to give her 4 since the star system doesn't allow half-stars).
As a man personally though, I'll admit that Mariah isn't in the shape she used to be but what's up with all these "fat" comments! Quite frankly, for almost 40, she looks great! She isn't toned like she used to be (and to me if you are going to wear those kinds of outfits, you should be) but come on! She's hardly "fat."
Anyway, back to this concert. It's worth a look but I'd find it cheaper than what it is being sold for.

I got this DVD a week ago. Honestly, her singing is quite acceptable, though not at her prime. But what shocked me is, like some of the reviewers have mentioned, she really turned herself into a soprano diva of classical music, physically I mean. She was too huge, compared to all the others on stage. She should pay attention to that. Afterall, she is a performer and quite a good-looking one. She shouldn't allow that to happen.
 Its like having Mariah live in your living room!!! March 8, 2009

I have been a fan of Mariah for a very long time, I have always admire her beautiful voice and her great career. I went ahead and bought this blueray disc because I wanted to see Mariah in HD. I was impressed by the great superb video quality. Its just amazing to see Mariah specially in the opening song. Its just like having here right there in front of you singing looking soo beautiful and sexy.
What I like about this blueray and this concert is that you see a very mature, proffessional and yet very fun Mariah Carey. You get a taste of both new and old material in a refreshing way. You will have some fun with songs like "Its like that", "Dreamlover", "Shake it off", "Honey" and you will also even feel nostalgic with songs like "Dont forget about us", "My all", "One sweet day" and "We belong together".
Gp ahead buy this great concert, its worth it. Its Mariah Carey!!!

As a big fan of Mariah Carey, I was more than happy to pick up her DVD. I've seen her on her last three tours in Toronto, so I knew what to expect from the concert portion of this DVD. Here are the cons and pros of this DVD-set:
Cons:
- I don't like how it is mixed. Her vocals are too high in the mix, while the music is too low. You can really notice the wear and tear in her voice more-so this way.
- Her dance moves are less than stellar (although I do appreciate the effort)
- Her outfits are atrocious. I actually think she looks good in this concert (body-wise), but she needs to cover up a bit and let her talent be the forefront because the wardrobe looks tacky.
Pros:
- Her set-list from her last three tours hasn't changed drastically, so anyone who was disappointed for the "Rainbow" and "Charmbracelet" tours not being commercially available, you need not worry anymore.
- She performs the majority of her hits, and she doesn't really miss anything that significant (except her biggest international hit, "Without You"), so it's a really good retrospective of her career. She also sings the more popular Bad Boy remixes of "Fantasy" and "Honey (which has a portion of the 'So So Def Remix' with JD), and ends "My All" with the David Morales Remix.
- Although her voice has been deteriorating over the years, it doesn't sound horrible and she puts in great effort to making a good vocal performance. I know some parts are pre-recorded and I'm sure there is some dubbing going on for this DVD, but most of it is live.
- Her duet with special guests Boyz II Men is a show stopping performance. It was a very emotional moment.
- The bonus features are very entertaining. Especially the documentary which takes you behind the scenes on the tour and where Mariah discusses why she chose the songs that she did etc.
Overall. the cons greatly outweigh the cons. I do not think Mariah is the horrible performer that people make her out to be. She can sing, she has a true connection with her fans (whom she appreciates) when she performs, she sings all the mega-hits and the whole spectacle looks great. If you're not a big Mariah fan, you probably will not thoroughly enjoy this, but if you're a true fan, you will be delighted with this DVD. I recommend it.
