Los Angeles: Pop star Mariah Carey has been hit with criticism following a video being posted online of her struggling to sing Vision of Love in Tokyo, Japan.
The 44-year-old singer played the first date of her Elusive Chanteuse World Tour at the Makuhari Messe in Tokyo. But during her rendition of ‘Vision of Love’, her debut single from 1990, Carey’s voice cracked and she couldn’t hit her trademark high notes, reported TMZ online.
A video of her struggling on stage was posted on Instagram and resulted in a backlash on social media for the R&B legend, who has hit the road in support of her new album Me. I Am Mariah … The Elusive Chanteuse.
One Twitter user wrote, “Mariah Carey started her tour in Japan and it was awful. She couldn’t hit the high notes and appeared to forget her lyrics a few times.” Another disappointed fan posted on Instagram: “Stick a fork in her she done.”
