Help Bring Mariah Carey to South Africa!
Wouldn’t it be great if we supported our local artists as much as we support international ones! Just picture it: “Help bring Wonderboom to Hotazel”, “Help Bring PitchBlack back” And so on. In the second of our series of SA-based sites that petition international artists to visit SA, the focus falls to… MARIAH!

We must admit, we loved her in the 90’s *blush*, but we’ve kind of outgrown her.
Clearly that’s just us.
Appears that the Mariah fan site has all kinds of juicy goodies on SA fans – like Mariah fan get togethers…. see above photo of some fans singing her songs Karoke style! 🙂
They also have an article on one of the “1st South African fans to meet or see Mariah Carey up close”, a woman called Lynette who shares her experience online with all the fans:
You will never guess what – I SAW MARIAH !!!!!!!!!!!!! I subscribe to the “Mariah Live” mailing list and got a chance to be in her new music video “Bringin’ on the heartbreak” ! The video is shot as part of a rock concert, so we got to be fans in the crowd at her concert for the video! And it was free. I was so anxious with anticipation – the thought of just getting to see in person was overwhelming me. I couldn’t believe that I was going to get this chance.
So a friend of mine and I got there at 5:30pm and we waited outside for 2 hours before we went inside, then waited again till eventually she came out. She was stunning. She just had to wave and the crowd went mad. I’ll never forget that feeling when I got my first glimpse of her. The crowd went wild and the screams were deafening. It was so exciting – I was jumping up and down 🙂 It was like I was the only one in the auditorium and no one was watching me going crazy 🙂 I couldn’t take my eyes off her. We were like 12 rows from the front, then there was a section for the cameras and then the stage. I was so excited that I was a mere 15 meters from Mariah! Then she was being interviewed by different tv channels and then came on stage and said she’s gonna change for the video shoot and will be back. We waited so long while the crew setup the lighting and cameras. There is such a lot of work involved in making the video.
And so on.

We wish them luck and will definitely let them know if we know before them when their diva hits town. Somehow we think they may know first.
