Fan convinced Mariah to scale down tour venues

Mariah Carey, who kicks off her summer tour this weekend, says it was a chance encounter with a fan that led her to revamp her North America dates. Carey recently decided to scale down the tour from arenas and amphitheaters to smaller and more intimate theaters.

She says a meeting with a fan gave her some insight about what her audience wants from her. "The intimate venue thing just stemmed from this girl... telling me she'd seen me before in concert but she didn't really feel the experience," Mariah says. "I wanted to do this so the fans can feel like they've really had the experience of being there with me and had an intimate evening."

Carey kicks off her tour on Saturday (June 21) in Seoul, Korea. She plays in Japan until July 15 before starting the 20-date North American leg on July 26 in Las Vegas.
