Newsday Review: Mariah hits the Garden, just like that // 11:50 PM EST

Appearing on a highly stylized, Art Deco stage set, Mariah Carey kicked off
her sold-out concert Wednesday night with "It's Like That," from her
blockbuster new album, "The Emancipation of Mimi." Clearly, one thing Carey
has been emancipated from is her clothes.
紐時覺得還好..... (._.?) <---這是巡演以來唯一的一篇負面報導吧...
大致上是說她服裝多 歌唱太花沒有熱力(會嗎?每次台下都好吵)等等
New York Daily News Review: Mimi is so-so // 4:21 AM EST Updated by Lynn
She has the most athletic voice of her generation, able to leap octaves in a
single bound.
But at Mariah Carey's rare Madison Square Garden concert last night, she
proved yet again that force and flexibility in no way guarantee emotional
depth or connection.
In her usual style, Carey approached each song as a rigorous exercise,
bending and stretching notes extravagantly, elaborating each melody with as
many ornate phrases and fancy filigrees as she could conceive.
Essentially, Carey was doing with her voice what Madonna does with her body.
Carey meant such moves to make up for the fact that, unlike most modern
divas, she doesn't dance. She doesn't even move with much grace. But at least
she poses with a certain campy charm.
Long attuned to modern trends, Carey made sure that last night's show wasn't
just about music. She had a passel of backup dancers to shimmy and shake, a
deejay to fiddle around between numbers, and enough costume changes to fill a
segment on "Project Runway."
Unfortunately, such distractions often wound up harming the show's pace.
Seldom did Carey perform more than two or three numbers before vanishing
backstage, while DJ Clue, or some video backdrop, carried the day.
The deejay motif carried over into the songs. Perhaps nervous about her age
(36), Carey put even more youthful hip-hop inflections into her music at this
show than on her CDs.
Both Jay-Z and Sean (Diddy) Combs showed up as guests. But the style wasn't
always flattering, often slowing the beat and flattening Carey's already
narrow melodies. Songs like the opener, "It's Like That," made such severe
concessions to the beat, there wasn't much room left for the tune.
By contrast, Carey's vocals certainly showed range. The woman can hit most
any note on the scale. The deeper question is, should she.
On hit after hit (from "Dreamlover" to "Honey"), Carey threw her voice around
with the giddy abandon of a crazed seal leaping through hoops.
It's a supremely influential approach. "American Idol" would be unimaginable
without it. But for all her physical dynamism, Carey in concert generated no
heat.
