Hong Kong Shows Mariah Carey The Door
By Lexi Feinberg: 2006-10-26 00:00:00
Mariah Carey was all set to perform a concert in Hong Kong this Saturday, but that idea has been squashed. Concerts Asia, the promoters, posted a note on their website saying that the show won’t go on. "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." According to USA Today, their extensive advertising efforts proved futile, and only a measly 4,000 tickets were sold. As for her outlandish requests, they didn’t offer any specific details. Darn. There is nothing more fun than reading about the diva’s ridiculous foot-stomping demands. Let’s take a little trip down memory lane for a few examples of her infamous hissy fits: "Pop diva Mariah Carey has a special attendant in her dressing room - just to hand her towels. And at publicity appearances, Mariah demands that all posters of her pop rivals be taken down - especially those of Christina Aguilera." –according to IVillage.com "Carey landed in Shanghai last week and was greeted by a caravan of eight vehicles — including four cars designated to carry her 60 pieces of luggage…she was booked to stay at the presidential suite at the Hilton, but demanded to be moved to a suite with more feminine wall colors." –according to MSN.com "The sexy singer asked to be carried around the set after her high heel shoes left her feet hurting" –according to Femalefirst.co.uk. And so it goes...you can't always get what you want. Even in Hong Kong.
