The presentation of Diva Pop on the penultimate day of the Festival in SP was one of the most awaited of this edition, but was unable to approach expectations
Owner of one of the most surprising voices in world pop history, known for his sharp falseids capable of reaching impressive notes, Mariah Carey was one of the most anticipated names of the second edition of the city. The show took place on Saturday 13, at 23:30 (Brasilia Time), on stage Skyline From Interlagos AutodromeIn San Paolo.
Before the artist’s entry, the big screen showed his images to the sound of “Thirsty“, Increasing the expectations of the public. Mariah started the presentation with “Type dangerous“, Unpublished trace of their next studio album, Here for everything (2025), scheduled for September 26th. However, what was seen on the stage was an arrhythmic and apparently uncomfortable singer, deviating the appearance and frequently resorting to Teleprompter, even to talk about the new album.
Unlike many pop stars, Mariah Do not bet on the choreography: it leaves the dance responsible for its dancers and focuses only on the voice. But, damaged by the low volume of the sound, at this strength of compromise it ended. The long exchanges of costumes – who left the band attempting, without success, to entertain the public – and the constant stage comes out has further cooled the public, which was slowly dispersed by Skyline.
After a warm start, Mariah modified two of his greatest classics “Hero“AND”Without you“(Cover Badfinger), but without the brightness and emotion that have marked your career. The really exciting moment came only in the double “Obsessed“AND”Touch my body“When their fake cutting were reminded for a moment the vocal power that consecrated it. Apart from this, the presentation was still marked by the distraction and lack of connection.
To close, the singer chose the cover of “I want to know what love is“, from ForeignerKeeping the same tone away. He also risked some words in Portuguese, but it was late: much of the audience had lost interest. A show that had everything to be memorable has become a cold and disappointing experience.
