Carey made sure her show would be fun for the audience–and a bit shocking–when she got out handcuffs and a blindfold.
During her rendition of her song “Touch My Body,” backup dancers picked a man from the audience and led him up to Carey on stage. The dancers handcuffed and blindfolded him, while he sat back on a double chaise lounge and Mariah went to work.
She teased him with a feather then pulled a little switcheroo. While he couldn’t see he could definitely feel the body over him, bumping and grinding. But it wasn’t Carey.
She’d called out a male stripper who tore off his tee-shirt and climbed on the chaise. But not everything according to plan. The man’s blindfold fell off midway during the skit. Carey sitting next to him on the sofa and the lucky fan got his picture taken with er.
Carey said during an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that she hoped to get closer to her fans during her Vegas residency, which will run through June. Carey sings all 18 of her No. 1 songs during the show.
By getting closer she must mean having some fun with them as well. The big question is was he part of the act, or a true fan.
