Presentation of Diva Pop on the penultimate day of the festival in SP was one of the most anticipated of this edition, but could not get close to expectation
Owner of one of the most striking voices in the history of world pop, known for its sharp falsetes capable of reaching impressive notes, Mariah Carey was one of the most awaited names of the second edition of The Town. The show took place this Saturday, 13, at 11:30 pm (Brasília time), on stage Skyline of Interlagos Autodromein São Paulo.
Before the artist’s entrance, the big screen showed images to the sound of “Thirsty”, Increasing the expectation of the public. Mariah started the presentation with “Type Dangerous”, Unpublished track of their next studio album, Here for it all (2025), scheduled for September 26. However, what was seen on stage was an out -of -rhythm singer and seemingly uncomfortable, diverting looks and frequently resorting to Teleprompter – even to talk about the new album.
Unlike many pop stars, Mariah Don’t bet on choreography: leaves the dance in charge of her dancers and focuses only on the voice. But, harmed by the low volume of the sound, to this strong point ended up compromised. The long costume exchanges – which left the band trying, unsuccessfully, to entertain the audience – and the constant stage exits further cooled the audience, which was slowly dispersed from the Skyline.
After a warm start, Mariah amended two of his greatest classics, “Hero”And“Without You”(Cover do Badfinger), but without the brightness and emotion that marked your career. The first really exciting moment came only in the double “Obsessed”And“Touch My Body”When their sharp falsettes remembered for a moment the vocal power that consecrated it. Other than that, the presentation was marked by 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 even risked a few words in Portuguese, but it was late: much of the audience had lost interest. A show that had everything to be memorable became a cold and disappointing experience.
