Mariah Carey's voice has been drawing praise from folks who've seen her on tour, but her dance moves? Not so much.
The star's one-time choreographer blames the team behind her new show for the issues. Anthony Burrell tells Complex “It felt like they were so new at their jobs, and had no direction. I always wanted to give Mariah a modern push to revamp her, give her a fresher, more modern feel, make her more aware of her body and her lines, and not look like her feet hurt when she’s walking.
In what sounds like a job application, Burrell spoke directly to Mimi, saying "You’re a legend. But you don’t care, your team doesn’t care. They’re not guiding and directing her. She’s back to where she was before. It’s not like she’s never looked this bad before; I just stepped her game up.”
Mariah's tour with Lionel Ritchie has been underwhelming in terms of ticket sales: Groupon-like services have been offering tickets for under $20.
