Mariah Carey kicked off her "Elusive Chanteuse" tour in Japan on Saturday, September 5. However, it didn't go as well as concertgoers expected as the singer had some problems with her vocals when performing some songs on her setlist.
According to some videos taken by fans during the show, Carey had trouble hitting the high notes when singing "Always Be My Baby". She also appeared to have forgotten the lyrics of her other hit "We Belong Together", although she later blamed the poor performance on the broken butterfly microphone stand. She stopped the music mid-song and told the crowd, "I can't go on."
During the Saturday show, Carey performed a number of hits from her old albums and her new one, "Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse". Additionally, she covered Billie Holiday's classic "Don't Explain" and addressed Nick Cannon's infidelity as she added a few new words of her own to the original song.
According to some reports, she sang the original lyrics, "Cry to hear folks chatter/ And I know you cheat/ Right or wrong, don't matter/ When you're with me, sweet," before adding, "I know you cheated motherf**ker."
Carey will bring her "Elusive Chanteuse" tour to other countries across Asia before visiting Australia and New Zealand later this year.
