I'll Carey on with Feb 22 concert, vows Mariah

[ 22-01-2004 ]

PETALING JAYA: American diva Mariah Carey will be here for her concert on Feb 22 - despite PAS' calls to ban her performance on claims that she is a provocative dresser and that she promotes moral degradation.

"The concert date is confirmed. The only thing that will change is my costumes," said Carey, whose remarks were relayed to The Star by concert organiser Galaxy Production spokesman Eric Chen.

"Whatever they don't like me to do, I won't do it, but the date stays," she said of her mega concert "An Intimate Evening with Mariah Carey," which is part of her Charmbracelet World Tour that will also take her to Beirut and Dubai.

Carey, however, has a long list of must-haves when she arrives here for the first time on Feb 22.

She expects to have her privacy respected and security to be tight.

Few things that are also high on her list are six cans of Diet Coke, ginger ale, ice-tea, uncut fresh fruits, a whole lemon, honey and unlimited supply of mineral water.

It was said the former waitress who shot to fame in the 1990s has personally requested that these items be in her hotel room's refrigerator at all times.

According to Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur, which is hosting her stay at the presidential suite, the diva would get a personal butler.

The hotel would ensure attentiveness to and security for Carey and the entourage throughout her stay.

"She has personally chosen our hotel and we will make sure she gets what she wants," it said in a statement.
