MONARC: CHARMBRACELET:World Tour 2003/2004

The Charmbracelet World Tour 2003/2004 was Mariah's biggest world tour ever. With over 70 concerts, she gave her fans in Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle East a night to remember.

It all started with an announcement of a big 25-city North America arena tour, which was later downsized to smaller theatres. In Europe and Asia, the dates at big stadiums and arenas stayed as scheduled.

For the first time ever, Mariah visited countries like Russia, the Philippines, Thailand, China and Dubai.

The Charmbracelet Tour was not just another tour in Mariah's career. It helped her regain the status of being "The Voice", which also had a big effect to the 2005 mega-seller "The Emancipation of Mimi".

Random Tour Facts:

- Some radical Islamic parties wanted to ban and cancel the concerts in Malaysia and Indonesia due to her "skimpy" stage outfits. Mariah didn't cancel the shows, but decided to wear "less sexy" clothes.

- During the tour, Louise McNally's (Mariah's former manager) son and Mariah's uncle Bob died. She dedicated "Through The Rain" to the McNally family in Seoul and "Can't Take That Away" to her uncle in London.

- Fans could go the official website and vote for one out of 4 songs they wanted to hear at the concert. Most times, "Can't Take That Away" won. In Europe, the audience could decide which song they wanted to hear. Mariah and the fans changed the setlist almost every night.

- The biggest audience was in Manila where 30,000 people attended the concert. The smallest audience was 2,500 in Tampa, Florida.

- Due to SARS, some concerts in Asia had to be cancelled in June 2003 (Singapore, Thailand, China). Some of the concerts were rescheduled in November 2003 or February 2004.

- In Osaka, Mariah's shoe broke and fell off her foot during the "Honey" performance. She then threw it into the audience.
