Background [ ]

Since her debut in 1990, Carey had not journeyed on a large or extensive tour. In fact, she had not embarked on a tour until her third studio effort, Music Box (1993), when she performed six arena shows in the United States during the Music Box Tour. [2] The opening night of the 1993 tour received scathing reviews, mostly aimed at Carey's perceived "obvious" stage-fright and “failure” to make a connection with the crowd. [3] Subsequent nights were more favorably-reviewed, with critics raving about Carey's vocals. Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote, regarding Carey's 1993 live vocals, "Beyond any doubt, Ms. Carey's voice is no studio concoction. Her range extends from a rich, husky alto to dog-whistle high notes; she can linger over sensual turns, growl with playful confidence, syncopate like a scat singer." [4] After the negative media attention, Carey did not want to perform in the US on her Daydream World Tour in 1996, visiting only four European cities and Tokyo, Japan. [5] That tour, in contrast, received critical acclaim from critics and fans alike, as well as breaking ticket sale records. [5] Carey's three shows at Japan's largest stadium, Tokyo Dome, sold out in under three hours, selling over 150,000 tickets, setting the record of fastest show-sellouts in Japan's history. [6] On the Butterfly World Tour , Carey broke her own record, selling 200,000 tickets in under one hour. [6] During 1997, after the commercially and critically successful release of Butterfly , Carey had not planned to tour again so soon, due to the long travel times placing a strain on her voice. [7] However, due to overwhelming demand by fans, Carey agreed to perform in Australasia once again, only extending the tour to Taiwan and Australia’s largest cities, as well as one last show in the United States, specifically in Hawaii. [7] Rehearsals for the show began shortly after Christmas 1997, extending for a period of two weeks. [8]

Originally, the Butterfly Tour was to have a leg in North America. Due to Mariah's participation in the movie Double-O Soul (with Chris Tucker), in early 1998, the North American leg was cancelled. However, the film Double-O Soul ended up never seeing an actual release date. [9]

Concert synopsis [ ]

The show began with Carey standing on a small elevated centerpiece on stage, surrounded by several long draped curtains. Carey featured three background vocalists throughout the tour, Trey Lorenz, Melodie Daniels and Kelly Price. As the introduction began with "Emotions", each of the curtains were slowly draped, revealing Carey atop the platform, dressed in a beige mini-dress and matching sheer blouse and stiletto heels. As she began performing "Emotions", the platform was lowered so Carey could access the other sections of the stage throughout the song's performance. After an intimate performance with dimmed lights for "The Roof (Back in Time)", Carey was joined on-stage by a Peruvian guitar player, who played the Latin-inspired guitar melodies during her performance of "My All". Afterwards, Carey sang "Close My Eyes", the only sitting performance of the show. During the song, several male backup dancers performed slow and ample dance routines behind Carey on a higher level of the stage. [10]

For the second part of the show, Carey had the second costume change of the evening, donning a long sequined black gown and semi-teased hair. For the performance of "Dreamlover", Carey was joined by three female back-up dancers, who mimicked her light dance routines during the song. The next song on the set-list was "Hero", which featured Carey alone on-stage, without any vocal back-up. After the song's performance, Carey was joined on-stage by Lorenz, who performed "I'll Be There" alongside her. Next came "Make It Happen", a song which accompanied yet another wardrobe change for Carey. She donned a short mini-skirt, alongside a sleeveless white blouse and loose golden curls. On-stage, Carey was joined by a full church choir, all dressed in long black garments. After the song's recital, Carey performed "One Sweet Day", alongside a previously recorded video of Boyz II Men during their live performance of the song with Carey at Madison Square Garden in 1995. [10]

After completing the song, Carey changed to a pair of leg-hugging blue jeans and a tank top. Her next performance was the "Fantasy" remix, featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard on a large projection screen behind the stage, as Carey performed light chair dance-routines alongside several male dancers. The performance featured the most intricate choreography Carey performed on the tour. After a low-key performance of "Babydoll", or "Whenever You Call" in other countries, Carey was once again joined by several male dancers, as she sang "Honey", while re-enacting the music video during a small skit. Carey once again changed to a beige ensemble similar to her first outfit before performing her debut single, "Vision of Love". The final song on the tour was "Butterfly", which featured large stills of butterflies and flowers projected onto the large screen behind Carey. She donned a long brown sequined gown for the performance, being joined on stage once again by her trio of back-up singers. During the shows in Japan, Carey performed her holiday classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You", alongside various male and female dancers on stage who performed light dance routines alongside Carey. During the song, Carey donned a Santa suit and matching hat, while being carried on a large stage prop by the dancers. [10]

Reception [ ]

Virtually the entire tour was an instant sell-out; the four shows at Japan's largest stadium, Tokyo Dome, broke Carey's previous ticket-sales record, selling out all 200,000 tickets in under one hour. [8] Additionally, the entire Australian leg sold out within hours, leading Carey to extend the tour one more date in the United States. [8] The show at Hawaii's 50,000 capacity Aloha Stadium sold out as well, making her one of the few acts in the stadiums history to sell out the entire venue. [11] Aside from its commercial success, fans and critics raved about the show's visuals, as well as Carey's vocal delivery. [7]

Broadcasts and recordings [ ]

During the tour, several bits and performances were filmed and later edited into a VHS and DVD entitled Around the World . [7] The VHS featured performances from Tokyo Dome, Aloha Stadium as well as few other skits and scenes that were later compiled into the video. [7] The film first begins with performances in Hawaii, where the song's recitals are cut into halves, excluding the second verses and bridge to shorten the bulk length of the video. Afterwards, Carey's performance of "My All" is shown in inter-cut scenes from Japan and Taipei. After the conclusion of the song, scenes of Carey conversing with Brenda K. Starr are shown, which eventually lead to a tribute to her at a small and intimate New York club, where Carey performs "I Still Believe". Soon after, Carey's performance in Japan with Lorenz for "I'll Be There" is shown, leading to scenes of Carey swimming with dolphins in Australia. the next title on the video is Carey's live rendition of "Hopelessly Devoted To You", where she is joined by Olivia Newton-John on stage in Melbourne. A scene of a fans gathering outside of a New York City studio is shown, following a performance of "Honey," and "Hero" at Aloha Stadium. The VHS was a commercial success, being certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of over 100,000 units. [12] The video was also certified gold in Brazil by the Associação Brasileira dos Produtores de Discos (ABPD). [13]

Why Queer Men Of Color Love Mariah Carey So Hard

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

My first boyfriend once said he would take a bullet for Mariah Carey. He was, if this isn’t yet clear, at the top 1 percentile of obsessed. He ran a sizable Twitter account that posted updates about the pop icon and memorized “pivotal” interviews such as the one she’d given about her Tokyo Dome concert in 1996. He’d say things like “ Justice for Glitter ” unironically and called anyone who had anything bad to say about her a misogynist.

To be fair, my own journey of queerness has involved an exploration of Mariah’s catalog. Many of my subsequent boyfriends, all queer men of color, also loved the “Butterfly” singer to varying degrees. Something about her captured their spirits in a way that no other artist has been able to. Despite her antics and all the shade she receives from the general public, my community has stood by her for over three decades like she’s some sort of emblem of queer liberation. I simply had to investigate why.

First and foremost, I found that Mariah’s music has always embraced people who feel misunderstood or whose emotions have been dismissed in some way. Not long before we broke up, my first boyfriend showed me a lesser-known song by the Grammy winner called “ Outside ” off her “Butterfly” album.

“It’s hard to explain. Inherently, it’s just always been strange,” she begins. “Always somewhat out of place everywhere.”

Listen to it right now if you can; the song is incredibly tender and flows like a river of revelation. Her melodies and lyrics are both profound and accessible. She goes on to sing about resigning oneself to the fact of not belonging and that for all the beauty in being different, there is also a persistent sadness.

Colby Sato, a 32-year-old Japanese-American who lives in Brooklyn and performs drag under the name Sativa Sunset, began to delve deeper into Mariah’s music in 2019 when they were performing at a Mariah-themed show. For Sato, Mariah’s larger-than-life persona and diva disposition feel very drag-like.

I have to agree. She’s always giving us campy material to work with, whether it’s a clip of her looking massively uncomfortable on public transit or an interview claiming she “doesn’t know” some pretty famous celebrities who have clearly pissed her off.

More importantly for Sato, though, a lot of her music seems to speak to really specifically queer emotions. Sato recalls the song “Obsessed” and how it reflected so many of his dating experiences.

“As queer people, many of us just develop these obsessions with each other,” they tell me. “I feel like we’re always seeking the validation of other queer people.” A lot of queer dating for them feels like a push-and-pull, a back-and-forth between wanting someone desperately and being wanted by others, Sato says, which is an emotion Mariah captures expertly in a lot of her music.

For others, the affinity for Mariah started during childhood. Darren Christie, a 25-year-old pop culture lover from Massachusetts, says he started listening to Mariah because his parents loved hip hop and R&B. He really began exploring Mariah’s discography on his own, though, after watching her short-lived reality show, “Mariah’s World” in 2016. The more he learned about her, the more he felt that other Gen-Zers didn’t give Mariah the credit she’s due for influencing so much of music, including creating the blueprint for hip-hop features in pop songs.

But what has kept Christie a fan throughout the years is that he identifies deeply with Mariah’s story as a mixed-race person. “She’s never shied away from her biracial heritage,” Christie tells me. “She sings about not feeling like she belongs with her white side or Black side, and that’s something that, as a younger person, I had to deal with.”

For Felix Romero, a 29-year-old psychologist’s assistant based in New York, Mariah’s openness about the complexities of navigating belonging and race also drew him to her. Romero grew up on the coast of Ecuador but was lighter skinned than most of the community he grew up around. “People poked fun at how pale I am,” he says. “Mariah dealt with similar things navigating her identities.”

Although it might not seem like a big deal to acknowledge her mixed identity in such an open way now, it was pretty groundbreaking when she was coming up in a country that saw things as Black and white and where the music you were “ supposed ” to make was inextricably linked to your race.

In that way, she became a blueprint for pop music and owning an identity that couldn’t fit neatly into a box. Romero, who considers himself a Lamb (the term Mariah fans use for themselves), says that understanding Mariah’s struggles is a big component of why people love her so much.

“To be a Lamb means to just be confident in your skin and who you are,” Romero tells me. “And to always have that diva queen energy — but with kindness.”

Mariah’s music made us feel seen and contributed to our confidence and self-worth. Through her eyelash-batting, blunt honesty, and unabashed sensuality, she helped us embrace our own vulnerabilities.

David Sabater, a 44-year-old from the Dominican Republic, first heard Mariah on “ MTV Unplugged .” Although he didn’t speak English, he was instantly mesmerized and learned English by listening to her songs, which came in handy once he moved to New York as a young kid. As Sabater’s familiarity with English progressed, he began to understand more of Mariah’s lyrics and discovered an even deeper meaning behind the songs he already loved.

Even though her lyrics were not, at least explicitly, about being queer, listening to Mariah was like therapy for Sabater when he thought no one else felt as invisible and misunderstood as he did. At the time, Sabater tells me, there were no positive depictions of queer people in pop culture, and the narrative was that gay men’s destiny was to die of AIDS.

The truth is that many queer men of color felt a similar type of loneliness, and Mariah’s music articulated that precise feeling. “I hated myself so much, but listening to ‘Butterfly’ helped me be like, ‘OK, try to love yourself a little,’” he says. “Her music kept me from going somewhere even darker.” To Sabater, some of Mariah’s more introspective ballads essentially boil down to one message: “I just want to exist and feel OK.”

Many queer people of color still feel that even in the ways we are celebrated, we are equally misunderstood and flattened — by pop culture, by straight people, and by each other. The connection many of us have to Mariah reaches depths that go far beyond the it’s-fine-to-be-gay anthems of pop artists such as Taylor Swift or the seemingly opportunistic pandering of the Harry Styles of the world. I think it’s as simple as this: Mariah Carey has always spoken to us like there’s nobody else in the room. And for that, she’ll get many more decades of our devotion.
