Mariah Carey doesn’t have to be contemporary and she doesn’t have to be old school because she’s both. At the Chicago Theatre on Saturday, the first of two sold-out nights, she showed the fruits of a 20-year career: a sampling of crossover pop hits spanning R&B balladry to hip-hop soul. Of course, the former suited [...]

Mariah Carey was doing that diva thing Saturday in the first of two shows at the Chicago Theatre: Poured into a gleaming, silver gown; eyes closed; self-absorbed in the moment of singing how her lover had done “The Impossible.” All the while, a male dancer a few feet off her left shoulder was bumping, grinding [...]

The cold and snow couldn’t keep thousands of fans from seeing the best-selling female artist of all time Wednesday night at the Schottenstein Center.

Or that [...]

Dazzling as ever, Mimi kept both a cold and a video shoot for new song “100%” in check. Editorial Rating: 3 Stars Though she’d plainly rather die than stop acting like a teenager, there isn’t a showbiz professional on Earth who couldn’t learn something from watching Mariah Carey operate. Sure, she’s had her share of [...]

Given the so-so reviews of her current album and inability to sell out even half of the arena she once filled, you’d think Mariah Carey would be quick on the mark for last night’s Air Canada Centre concert. An hour before showtime her publicist put photographers and reviewers on alert that the songstress would be [...]

RATING: 3.5 out of 5 After reading about her starting late and indulging in other diva-like behavior on the Canadian leg of her Angels Advocate tour, I was expecting the worst from R&B-pop superstar Mariah Carey as she touched down at the Air Canada Centre on Tuesday night. And while she did appear about 45-minutes [...]
