The best-selling female artist of all time returns to Dubai

In a career spanning more than 25 years, Mariah Carey has gone through multiple transformations: nineties darling, noughties diva, comeback queen and reality TV star, to name a few. Over time, she’s become as famous for her offstage antics as her ability to hit those high notes – so much so that it’s easy to forget her star quality.

In a career marked by ups and downs, rocky relationships and label woes, Carey has persevered. Since her 1990 self-titled debut album, the girl with the golden voice has won five Grammys and 32 Billboard Music Awards, sold over 200 million records and had more No 1 hits than any other solo artist. She went from starring in 2001’s terrible Glitter to winning a Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival for her role in the Oscar-winning Precious in 2009. And, in 2005, when most people had already labelled Carey a has-been, she released the award-winning and aptly named album The Emancipation Of Mimi. Plus, is there any other artist whose Christmas hit – All I Want For Christmas Is You – gets played as much every December?

Mariah made her Dubai debut 14 years ago. We are excited to see what she has in store for her UAE fans this time around.
