When we think about Mariah Carey we imagine negligees, industrial-sized vanilla-scented candles, and Bonne Bell bubblegum LipSmackers. But when Hong Kong-based concert promoters Concerts Asia think about Mariah, they apparently imagine a nightmare-ish diva with very few ticket-buying fans and outrageous requirements. A statement on the promoter’s Web site read, in part: “As promoters of the Mariah Carey Hong Kong concert, we have decided to cancel the event effective immediately due to both the poor response of public ticket sales and also due to specific last-minute demands which we find wholly unreasonable and not with the best interests of Hong Kong, us and also the fans.”
The Smoking Gun acquired Carey’s tour rider (note: not sure of the date on this), which gives us some sense of what Mariah’s like on tour. After perusing it, we picture her lounging with some combination of her twelve fluffy bath towels, munching diet cheese, and sipping Cristal out of a bendy straw. Seriously, though? Nothing on here is THAT outrageous. What did she do to piss off the Chinese?
