What Happened To Mariah Carey's Voice?

This video of Mariah Carey singing "Always Be My Baby" at Tokyo, Japan was painful to watch. It's so heart breaking that I had to force myself to go through the entire 3:45 video!

This happened during the launch of her "Elusive Chanteuse World Tour" in Japan. Is this the beginning of the end for the Diva who has captured our hearts through her amazing vocal range? Or was this an unfortunate case of unwanted technical issues? Watch the video and see for yourself.

 

Some fans have been relentless in their social media comments, while others have shown great disappointment.

When kicking off a world tour the last thing you need is bad press on your voice @MariahCarey. Your voice is the reason people buy tickets!

Still, Mariah is a Diva who has amassed a huge following over the years. Some of her fans have been quick to go on defensive mode:

I don't know why people always hating on @MariahCarey !! That lady can sing!!! She's a diva for a reason! #YouCantSitWithUs

We all hope it's just a bad case of flu or something temporary. The world is not ready to lose an awesome voice as Mariah's.
