Stylish Mariah Carey Strains In Search Of Soul

Joshua Klein of the Chicago Tribune reviewed Mariah Carey’s show at a reconfigured United Center on Tuesday night. Klein writes, “It’s fitting that the high-pitched virtuoso squeak Carey unleashed on nearly every song sounded like a balloon losing air, since the show seemed deflated almost from the first note.” He added, “The closest Carey came to something soulful was Def Leppard’s ‘Bringin’ on the Heartbreak.’ Other than that, the show was as rote and dispiriting as the ramshackle roadside circus the stage sometimes resembled. Maybe that’s what once mighty Mariah gets for picking a butterfly as her personal mascot: nice to look at, but not the best harbinger of longevity.”
