As this is the second time Mariah Carey is going to perform in Malaysia, her first time here was back on 20th February 2004 and also at the same venue of Stadium Merdeka, her 90 minute show attracted over 30,000 fans.
She opened the previous concert with her hit song 'Heartbreaker' while driving onto the stage in an open top BMW convertible.
She later told her Malaysian fans that she normally changed about eight costumes for her concert but had to make an exception for her Malaysian concert as the dress code regulations required her to stick to one safe outfit.
Mariah said, "I'm so sorry that I'm so boring but I'm just playing by the rules".

Recently in early August after the news that Mariah Carey was performing in Kuala Lumpur, Deputy Communications And Multimedia Minister Datuk Jailani Johari told The Rakyat Post (local daily), there were a process and guideline to getting this approval that the concert promoter must follow.
“Looking back at previous cancellations and even the incident in Selangor (FMFA) we don’t want any repeats,” he said, referring to the death of six people due to methamphetamine overdose at the Future Music Festival Asia (FMFA) 2014 at Bukit Jalil Stadium, recently.
“There is ample time for the promoters to adhere to these guidelines and comply with our requirements,” he said, pointing out that tickets should not be sold before these conditions are met.
“If they are using a stadium, they must get authorities to approve it as well. They must comply with these guidelines to make sure safety and due diligence is carried out before hosting the concert,” he said.
He added that a concert in the magnitude of Carey would spark a lot of fan attention.
“Therefore it would be a responsible move for them to get the approvals and represent her in the best manner,” he said.
