First Concert (47,096) by javier from chile I hope is doesn't turn into the usual drama. Her voice sounded okay. She must have been tired from the trip. Japan is in the opposite side of the world and the time there is obviously the opossite. She probably didn't have the chance to sleep much. I bet my butt that she will get better in her next concerts. Just sit and witness. Did you hear this jazz number? Amazing. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 19:33)

The concert (47,095) by Bill from the UK I've listened to the clips on Instagram and some YouTube videos, and I would hardly call the performances "atrocious" as somebody put. Hero, We Belong Together, and #Beautiful all sounded great. She honestly cannot win with some of you. She lips the difficult parts of her songs, and you crucify her. She sings the difficult parts live, and you crucify her. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 19:33)

First night of tour (47,094) by G.G. from USA I see she brought out the chez lounge again to sit and lay on. Sigh. I've seen multiple clips online from Tokyo. Some songs sound great, and exactly like the CD version. Why oh why can't she do alternate recordings? That way it's not completely obvious she is lip synching. Other songs were live and sound awful. I feel bad, but I think this tour is going to be a disaster. Other blogs have already started tearing Mariah apart and saying she's going downhill like Whitney and Michael. Makes me sad.

Must listen, Mariah sings Billie Holiday (47,093) by Lee TS from USA Maybe she can win some of your hearts back? From last night. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 19:28)

Wow (47,092) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada It's nice to see "The Roof" on the setlist. I love that song. It's my jam. And she doesn't perform it very often. Wishing her the best. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 19:17)

Hero (47,091) by THE TRUTH from USA MC should not be performing with her voice in that condition and the fact that she is simply and obviously is a testament to the complete absence of any type of support structure around her. If she had proper management they would not let her tour and get her the help she needs. Right now there is a mad scramble for certain people to grab as much as they can while there's anything left to grab. It's very sad but not a very new story in the entertainment industry. It's called an industry for a reason. Why don't all you lambs say some prayers for her. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 18:55)

Live (47,090) by Dove from USA I'm glad she's singing live. If they decide to make a DVD of this tour they can always dub the parts she's not happy with later. The blue dress is beautiful and she looks stunning in it. Also, I love the buterfly microphone. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 18:52)

Japan concert (47,089) by PJW from The U.K. I've watched a few short videos on YouTube and Instagram. I don't know what to say really. My All, Vision Of Love and Emotions were, from what I could see, atrocious. Beautiful sounded good, though pre-recorded. I'm really sad right now and, again, pray that Mariah sorts her voice out. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 18:10)

Legacy (47,088) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Mariah may have made music that's generally considered less historically significant than Madonna, Michael, or Janet, but her voice has made such an indelible mark in this world that it would be impossible to find a list of greatest singers that won't have her in it. Too bad she's criminally underrated as a songwriter. I think this is a bad side effect of having the most #1 hits for a solo artist - people tend to reduce her to a hit machine and that pretty much overshadows everything else she does. I really hope she does get recognition for her writing and producing efforts someday. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 16:57)

Hero (47,087) by Dove from USA Someone posted this video of Hero. It sounds good to me. She's emoting. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 16:46)

Setlist (47,086) by Dove from USA Someone posted the set list from last night. Fantasy Don't Forget About Us Emotions Honey Always Be My Baby Thirsty Shake It Off Meteorite Vision of Love Cry My All Breakdown I Know What You Want (Busta Rhymes cover) Babydoll Heartbreaker The Roof #?Beautiful? I'm That Chick Supernatural I'll Be There (The Jackson 5 cover) We Belong Together Hero (Saturday 4 October 2014; 16:42)

NTT: I'm the one who's keeping score (47,085) by PieterLamb from Indonesia From the song list performed in Tokyo concert, in which 4 songs are from Butterfly album and 5 songs are from MIAM albums, I think MC clearly making a statement that she will be okay for whatever she's currently been through, especially with the marriage. I like the song list though, but would happy if "Someday" is also on the list. Just wondering what would be her next song list on the next concert. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 15:55)

The Elusive Chanteuse Show: opening night in Japan (47,084) by Gilbert from USA The set list she did for the show (found on Mariahjournal) is quite nice. There is a mixture of everything and not as typical as I expected. Lucky fans. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 14:45)

DVD (47,083) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This tour needs to be recorded and released. I want to see her sing these songs. I loved watching the previous tour dvds that were released. All things aside, I hope Mariah slays in all the tour dates and I hope she shuts people up. Queen Mariah, it's time to get back on that throne. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 14:08)

Norman / live album (47,082) by Bill from the UK Hi Norman. I agree, I also don't think Mariah would do another Unplugged album. I honestly don't think it can be matched (but then I had my reservations about MCIIY, but loved that album as much as the original, lol). I had a great bootleg of her Tokyo concert from 1996 called Out In Japan which was professional quality (near enough) and a great keepsake from one of her best tours, so I'd love something similar, especially if Mariah is debuting new songs each night like she hinted at. I love that microphone, it's so Mariah lol. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 13:45)

Tour set list (47,081) by Darryle from USA Fantasy Don't forget about us Emotions Honey Always be my baby Thirsty Shake it off Meteorite Vision of love Cry Love hangover My all Breakdown I know what you want Babydoll This is a dream set list. This is a real set list post I saw on the internet. It could or could not be real but I think it is since Daydream's anniversary was yesterday. Come to the US Mariah. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 13:44)

Bill / live album (47,079) by Norman from USA Hey Bill. Thank you so much for the greeting. I know we're all just rooting for her to do something as amazing as we know her to be. So I'm excited to know that the show has started and the speculation as to how it's all going to go down will come to an end. I really love the Unplugged album as well. I don't think she'll do it like again only because she's already done it once, and I don't think she deliberately likes to duplicate an album (say what you will of E=MC2 and TEOM), but I do think this would give a good opportunity to come close. So let's see. Before it was clear she wasn't going promote MIAMTEC with any videos of any sort, I so hoping she'd somehow team up with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to come up with a fun video for Dedicated or some other song. I just think that all of their humor would really mesh well to come up with something amazing from 3 strong and funny ladies. And it's something no one would see coming. Maybe they still can. Anyway, I'm just rambling. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 11:29)

Mariah in Tokyo tonight (47,078) by Gilles from Malta I would like to ask for some Japanese fan to record some footage of MC tonight for all of us. It would be so nice from you. Love you all. And enjoy MC, the elusive tour. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 11:06)

May (47,077) by Will from England I must say, this is the first I'm hearing/seeing about a backlash to those Aquarium pictures lol. Even the Daily Mail readers had more positive comments about Mariah than usual, which is very strange because those readers are usually the first to jump on the "I Hate Mariah Carey And All That She Is" bandwagon. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 10:01)

The moment has come (47,076) by David F from Mexico Wow, thanks so much May from Denmark, for the nice reply. I hope she makes this tour so big. Full of new things, visually and therefore, you know unforgettable moments. I am so happy she started there since the USA people are hooked with trashy music, like Anaconda no. 3. Give me a break, or the ponytail Mariah replica Ariana. Some people are blocking Mariah that is so true I can see it crystal clear. So sad for the international fans who take a look at USA because of her, I hope she finds a strong, good spirited men, who can support her. Finally that money minded Nick Cannon could not keep up, he needs to grow up more. I hope she gives him a good lesson he can never forget. She should give the best to show all the wannabes who is Mariah at the end of the day, because she has the whole package inside. Bring it out Mimi. Yes you can. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 7:49)

Japan (47,075) by G.G. from USA Here's a picture of the microphone for the tour. It looks awesome. They also have some pictures of Mariah at the airport. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 2:18)

Mimi L (47,074) by 123 from USA What is your email? A friend sent it to me via text. I can send it to you via email. I don't know how to upload pics on here (how do the other fans do it). (Saturday 4 October 2014; 1:52)

Mic (47,073) by Lee TS from USA Maybe this is her mic? (Saturday 4 October 2014; 1:29)

Aquarium pics not doing good (47,071) by May from Denmark This last week there has been a lot of bad talk about Mariah because of her pictures in the aquarium with her kids. While looking gorgeous, she was pictured with dolphins. It has made people outraged. Even her own fans have bashed her a lot on her Facebook, don't know if anyone else has Facebook and checks her side. I generally don't go there because it seems as if anyone can put any horrible thing and people tend to be too aggressive at times, I think it's because the page is open to the general public rather than just for those liking it. I'm really glad she is now in Japan so she can be away from all this negativity. Surely as soon as she touches the stage and belts some songs people will calm down and talk about something else. I don't support dolphins in captivity but I don't think she is cruel neither. She is very likely misinformed but I wouldn't be mean to her, not even in words, if anything just suggest her. There are ways to tell people things. Also it is kind of strange, Mariah is known to have swam with trained dolphins since the early 90s and people complain now? So weird.
