Mariah The star under fire
Ppop diva underd fifire ffor jjust t going through the motions
Since she kicked off her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace in May 2015, Mariah Carey has won rave reviews and left audiences wowed.
But closing the tour after two years last week, the 47-yearold left fans underwhelmed as she failed to perform her usual high-energy dance routines.
Embarrassing footage of the penultimate concert shows Mariah barely moving and back-up dancers struggling to prop her up. Instead of her usual shimmying and wild hip shaking, Mariah half-heartedly moves from side-to-side with a few token arm movements and a perfunctory smile.
Fans were outraged at what they dubbed “laziness”.
“OMG I’d demand a refund,” one wrote when the video emerged online. Another gobsmacked fan added, “Who the hell pays for this?!”
Still, as the show closed last week after a massive 26-month run, Mariah can now put her feet up and think about how to spend the estimated $40 million she earned in Vegas.
