Mariah Carey Performs in Brazil!
After the MASSIVE success of her single "I Want To Know What Love Is" in Brazil where it stayed at #1 for a record 27 weeks!!, pop diva Mariah Carey decided to give a very special "thank you" concert for her Brazilian fans aka lambs - The decision was taken by Mimi back in June, and as the anticipation got higher in the Latin American country, the "We Belong Together" singer asked fans via Twitter which songs they wanted to make it into the setlist. The selected location was in the town of Barretos in Sao Paulo and the organization wanted that Mariah took part of the town's famous "Peao de Boiadeiros" (Cowboy Festival). So Mimi arrived in Brazil on Thursday, did some tourism first, and yesterday took a private flight to Barretos. The official setlist of last night's concert was: Butterfly, Daydream, Shake It Off, Touch My Body, My All, Always Be My Baby, It's Like That, I Still Believe, Make It Happen, Love, Hangover/Heartbreaker, Dreamlover, I'll Be There, Obsessed, We Belong, Together, Hero, I Want To Know What Love Is. Watch a few fan-recorded videos below.
Now that looked hella entertaining! Mariah Carey is an example of a mature diva that hasn't lost completely her gifted voice and can still play decent live concerts. Only if that was the case of other divas...*cough* Whitney Houston *cough*. BTW, Mimi also looked HUGE! She has gained weight in the past too but this is totally ridiculous. I think the baby rumours may be true this time. In related news, Carey's new Christmas album is reported to be released on November 2nd. It would include six new songs, covers of classics and a new mix of "All I Want for Christmas is You". I can't wait to get this!
