It's been five years since her last one. Back then however, she was still enjoying moderate success. Unless she was opting to do an intimate tour comprising of small venues, I just don't think she would be able pull off an arena tour at this point in her career. On the other hand, I don't think she would do a full blown North American tour. The demand just doesn't seem to be there.
She should consider doing three American arena's so that fans from other States would have to pick one of the three. At least that way, those venues would have a better chance at selling. It's bad enough that she will most likely lip sync all of her high notes and perhaps do a BET Awards and mime her entire set completely. Back in the day, people paid good money to hear Mariah sing live all the way and now that she struggles to do even that, what reason would people have for seeing her in concert?
So, it's not just lack of demand that imposes a problem here, her vocals have aged a lot and her voice may not be able to cope with extensive touring. Anyway, I don't think anyone should jump the gun just yet. I have seen reports from Asian press that this is geared towards Asia.
She will reportedly begin the tour in mid-October, starting with concerts in China, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and Taipei. So if she is touring, this will be for the Asian leg, with Australia soon to follow. Would YOU be interested in seeing Mariah on tour?
