Malaysian contests winners

Recently, Malaysia witnessed the most anticipated concert by an international artist over the last 5 years. Mariah took Malaysia by storm when more than 50,000 of her devoted fans gathered at the venerable Merdeka Stadium as early as 3.00 p.m. to watch her show. Despite the change in concert date, the Friday traffic and the afternoon deluge, fans thronged the stadium to witness this one-night-only "intimate evening" with Mariah Carey, presented by the Malaysian sponsor.

The concert began with the gorgeous and flamboyant Mariah Carey, driven around the stadium in an open-top black BMW convertible. Launching right into one of her hottest numbers, "Heartbreaker", Mariah gave her fans what they came to see and that was the American superstar belting out most of her biggest hits right here in Malaysia. She also proved once again that she is still the reigning queen of five-octave singing at her brilliant concert.

For the lucky grand-prize winners, it was undoubtedly an evening to remember. Their royalty treatment started when they arrived at the concert venue where they were ushered to their super VIP seats from where they enjoyed the enthralling performance of their favorite star. It didn't end there as later they were taken to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel for a private session with the renowned diva.

Today, the grand-prize winners and other weekly winners are officially celebrated at Clickers, Kelana Jaya. All 19 winners received their grand and weekly prizes. The two contests, namely the SMS Contest and the Online Contest were organized in conjunction with the most awaited concert to further create more excitement among Mariah's fan and to give the fans a chance to win cool, awesome prizes.

The Mariah Carey Charmbracelet World Tour SMS Contest commenced January 15 and ended on February 17, 2004. Though having a short period, the contest received overwhelming response from all walks of life, especially among Mariah's die-hard fans.

Ms Wong Hooi Lin, from Shah Alam, emerged as the participant with the most SMS (short message service) sent with the most correct answers, and was officially announced as the grand prize winner of the Carey Charmbracelet World Tour SMS Contest. She won herself 6 day 5 night holiday package to Perth Australia for 2 persons, and an autographed Charmbracelet CD.

The second prize winner, Ng Pei Fung, from Subang Jaya, won herself a brand new Skuter Nitro NS 125 with an autographed Charmbracelet CD, while Ms Syahrinerwutty Mohamad Shahrizal from Segamat Johor emerged as the proud third prize winner of the contest and won a Panasonic Home Theatre System with an autographed Charmbracelet CD. The grand prize winners also received backstage concert passes that gave them access to meet Mariah in person and they ingeniously grabbed the opportunity to take memorable pictures with the flamboyant diva.

The Mariah Carey Charmbracelet World Tour SMS Contest also awarded top three weekly prizes for the four weeks that the contest was held. The prizes include Sony DVD Players, Philips DVD Players, Nokia 3315 mobile phones and autographed Charmbracelet CDs.

Besides the SMS Contest, the Malaysian sponsor also organized the Mariah Carey Charmbracelet World Tour Online Contest. Similar to the SMS Contest, this contest also started on January 15 and ended on February 16, 2004 and it was open to all the customers. Four weekly prize winners of the Online Contest each received a Panasonic mobile phone.

For both contests, all fans had to do was answer as many multiple-choice questions on Mariah Carey to win the awesome, cool prizes. Participants with the most correct answers won the contest.
