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.

Are you gonna go?? do u have any idea when or where we can get tickets? do we have to go there and buy them? the craig david concert tickets were sold in virgin megastore here in kuwait so do u have any ideas if that will also happen or not?

Some Fan · Jan 8th, 2004, 11:15 PM

i'll definatly go

i told my eldest brother about so i'll probably go with him and my elder sister

i have no idea where to buy the tickets but i guess i'll know at least 4 weeks before the show

Kha · Jan 9th, 2004, 12:59 AM

woohoo

let's keep ourselves updated about it here, ok? i have to get at least 3 tickets for me, my friend and my cousin. I might even go to fedex and tell them to get me the tickets in dubai and send it to me, they have this stupid service so i might as well use it if the tickets out there are better than the tickets that are going to be sold here (if virgin is going to be kind enough to do this).

Sarahbackstreet · Jan 9th, 2004, 08:42 AM

Wow that's awesome,I hope you guys get to go.

CottonBall · Jan 9th, 2004, 01:10 PM

Ummmm won't they stone her or something? Seriously, looking at the way she dresses and how some of her songs are quite sexual, won't they be offended over there? But yeah, I guess it's her choice...

Kha · Jan 9th, 2004, 03:07 PM

oh for god's sakes, you also think that we all look like osama bin laden as well, right? it is dubai, heck, barely any muslim even lives there...

**touchmysoul** · Jan 9th, 2004, 04:57 PM

Eh, c'mon Kha you didn't even need to reply to her, you just gave her the impression that Muslims are what she thinks they are.

It's pretty cool I live half an hour from Dubai now

.

All you hardcore fans? Are her concerts anygood?
