Mariah Carey fans were left disappointed in May last year as talks of her performing in Dubai turned out to be a rumour. Fortunately on February 26, 2004, the lady with an astounding voice and the distinction of being the 'world's best selling female artist of the millennium', ... will be singing live in concert here.
Says Thomas Ovesen, General Manager, Mirage Promotions Dubai, 'Mariah is a true Diva who can move from glossy ballads to hip-hop-inspired dance-pop hits with great ease and so appeals to audiences of all ages and nationalities. Her concert here is set to be the season's biggest and most highly anticipated live entertainment event.'
When asked whether Mariah would cancel her Dubai plans like in 2003, an official at Mirage Promotions informed that the last time around the promoter who tried getting her down had not even signed a contract. This time though the contract is signed and the deposit has been paid.
The Dubai leg of Mariah Carey's 'Charmbracelet' world tour comes closely on the heels of the unprecedented success of two sold out Craig David Concerts organised by Mirage Promotions.
While neither the venue nor the ticket prices have been confirmed, the singer who possesses a spectacular seven-octave range, will surely perform some of her very memorable songs in addition to the popular tracks on the Charmbracelet album.
For the uninitiated, since she began her career, Mariah Carey has since become the best-selling female performer of all time, with an incredible 15 #1 singles and two Grammy Awards. Along the way she became the only artist to top the charts in each year of the 1990s, and, with 'Heartbreaker,' she pushed ahead of the Beatles as the artist with the most cumulative weeks spent atop Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart.
