Mariah Carey, the most successful female recording artist in history, performed last night in one of the most intimate shows of her career with a special engagement at The Pearl inside the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas (Photo: © Erik Kabik/ RETNA/ www.erikkabik.com).
This up-close-and-personal performance was the first of its kind for Mariah and surrounded the highly anticipated release of Mariah’s latest album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel which features the current hit single “Obsessed” and is scheduled to arrive on September 15, 2009.
Las Vegas photographer Erik Kabik sent us these spectacular photos of Mariah’s performance.
