mariah carey live

a friend managed to get tickets to the mariah carey concert last night at US Airways Center and so i was looking forward to seeing mariah perform live. the place was actually packed full and everyone waited patiently while busta rhymes opened up the show. i'm not really a hard fan of street rap but i have to say seeing busta rhymes onstage made me appreciate the hip-hop, rap feel of the songs. i am definitely going to check out his album when i get back in manila next next week.
it was actually another long wait setting up the stage after the opening act but when mariah came out and belted her first song, i was immediately mesmerized. what was great about the concert is that she sang most of her classic favorites like vision of love, always be mcbaby (errr ... my baby pala hahaha), shake it off, i'll be there, dreamlover, fantasy, fly like a bird, hero, its like that, thank God i found you, heartbreaker and for her encore - we belong together. seeing mariah carey live made me realize why i loved her songs so much and why she was such an awesome singer. i was still giddy right after her last number and was humming her songs during the ride home. awesomeness!!!!
