Mariah Carey is back and sounding better than she has in a long while!
The superstar chanteuse kicked off her eagerly anticipated Las Vegas show ‘The Butterfly Returns’ last night at The Colosseum, Caesars Palace and was in fine form.
A musical and visual extravaganza, the residency serves as Mimi’s second on the iconic Strip following a two-year run with ‘#1 To Infinity’ at Caesars Palace.
This series is perhaps most notable for being her first live show since parting ways with her former management regime, signing with Roc Nation, and battling back to better health – mentally, physically, and vocally.
Based on pics and clips from the evening, attendees are in for a treat from the singer, who belted out classics such as ‘We Belong Together’ and ‘Emotions,’ as well as fan-favorites like 91’s ‘Can’t Let Go.’

Yassss MiMi!!! ?
Slayriah ??❤️
Looool c’mon tgj, lip sync always sounds great!
If this was Rihanna it was all spread across this blog, but when it’s Mariah not a word about it!
Now the lambs can come and say that she’s so good the she even sings without a microphone in front of her mouth —“

“Can’t let go” is from her 2nd Album Emotions. Which came out in 1991.
‘Can’t Let Go’ is from “Emotions” album. Not “Rainbows”. Lol
OMG Can’t Let Go was Soo Good ??
Cant Let Go is from the Emotions album and not from Rainbow. The setlist ends with Hero and Butterfly Outro.
Inc not really feeling the set list I wish she added in some other gems. I love all these songs but she has so many better ones
Girl, she sounds incredible, looks incredible but the Set-list — she promised B sides and/or rare songs — and we get THE SAME DAMN SETLIST as usual. Girl, i’m gonna pass – on this “samebullshit”. But love the looks honey
I can tell she cares more, but it was still rough.
agreed….the background singers sound grea! but she’s still strugglin with mid belts and lipping high notes…..looks good tho
Mariah voice has aged pretty well, with a lil flare and rasp to it now. Is she insecure about her voice not being the same as 20, 30 years ago? She still sounds incredible! BUT the setlist, outfits and set itself NEEDS TO GO. Mariah needs a new stage manager, stage director, production manager, creative director and choreographer all from the 21 century because this ain’t it anymore! This is not 2006.
She no longer has that beautiful bird-like voice. It sounds very hard, strained and tired now. Her notes sound very forced and not effortless like they used to. I guess that’s what hard living will do to ya…
She looks and sounds fantastic. Welcome Back Mariah
Sounding good Mariah. Can’t wait until your Saturday show in Vegas. ❤️
Wow she looks amazing.
Mariah looks and sounds great. Of course her voice is a little weathered but when she treats it well; steaming, voice care etc. she sounds stellar. Bring on the new era!
Needs to RETIRE.
You need to stop eating! Maybe lend Mariah’s gastric band
Girl, stop playing with these same corny songs: Faded? I Wish You Well? Fly Like a Bird. All Alone in Love? Migrate? something new? fresh
Can’t believe Hero is not part of the track list
I think Butterfly and the roof are missing too
I have been around since the beginning when Mariah Carey arrive on the Scene. But I can tell there to much focus for Mariah to be still and try to get those notes out. It was ok. Mariah Carey voice should be better and stronger than the young Mariah. Her body & hair look good though.
Wow I LOVE that third outfit in the pic. Reminds me so much of the Glitter era. Especially the hair.
What would be very nice is a show that would be raw, stripped, pretty much a spotlight and the band. Sometimes just an acoustic guitar or the piano. It doesn’t have to be the full residency but just a couple concerts to show people what she got in her.
Then transition to your Mimi diva extravaganza for the rest of your residency.
She looks and sounds wonderful…the only issue I have is this is The Butterfly Returns show….and the song Butterfly is not on the set list.
Mariah sung it at the end as her outro. She sang it after hero.
I am never one to comment on fashion, that is not an immediate standout to me, but those right there…i cant find the words to articulate at the moment
Wayment. How can this be called “The Butterfly Returns” and the setlist NOT have the song “Butterfly”?
I need more b-sides. Underneath the Stars, Looking In, Close My Eyes, Petals…come on Mariah.
Oh right Petals !
SLAY MEEEEE!!! That Emotions performance I am shooketh
