 Editor's Note
 Nineteen songs from Mariah Carey's 2006 "Adventures of Mimi" tour are featured on this presentation. Carey had been off the road for three years and was subject to plenty of tabloid rumor when the tour was undertaken, but her loyal fans had stuck with her, causing her album sales to soar to record-breaking heights. This presentation finds Carey performing a greatest hits package, with songs such as "Vision of Love," "I'll Be There," and "Always Be My Baby" presenting Carey with a chance to flex her considerable vocal talents. Also included here is a documentary on the tour and a short film about Carey, which is directed by Spike Lee.

| | Professional Reviews | The Rewind Forums 9 of 10 "The Adventures of Mimi" concert (1:19:24) starts off with a computer-generated rollercoaster ride which takes you right into the concert. Here, Mariah wastes no time in getting things started in front of a sold-out audience...While I'm not really a Mariah Carey fan, I have to admit that this concert didn't suck. Mariah conducted herself very well as both a performer and a professional. I liked how she took the time to talk to her fans. Sure, most artists probably do that. Still, I'm sure the fans appreciated it. After all, they've probably paid a pretty penny for their tickets. I've heard people say they've been to concerts where the artists basically performed their album. They've also stated that they would have just assumed listen to their CD's rather than having to sit through that kind of a concert. No, Mariah definitely delivers the goods here. Even her duet with Boyz II Men doesn't fall short. The only way you'd hear this on a CD is if an album version of this concert were to be released. Anything's possible, right? I guess the only negative I would have to say about this concert is that I'm not a Mariah Carey fan. However, I'm not going to let that influence my final grade for this release. For what it was worth, I was kept entertained. That's all that matters here. Mariah fans definitely won't be disappointed. - Noor Razzak
