DVD Charmbracelet tour uncertain

The last time we heard about the Charmbracelet Tour DVD was 6 weeks ago. According to a source who had been in contact with Universal France for months, the DVD should be released in November 2004 around the release date of the new CD. The latest plans were making a mix of different concerts instead of using one full concert in one city. The official announcement should be made in May but nothing was 100% sure.

It's now the end of May and there is still no official announcement. The news about Mariah's new album being released later this year was on several websites, but everyone seems to have forgotten the DVD. The last time we heard about the DVD from an official source was in March on the Q&A section of the official website. The webmaster told us that there will be one eventually but that they still don't have a scheduled release date.

Although Mariah's record company has received thousands of requests, it seems they are not taking the fans seriously. Mariah has done four tours (Daydream, Butterfly, Rainbow and Charmbracelet), none of these were released on video or DVD. Only snippets from the Butterfly tour were used for the special "Around the world". Other artists are releasing DVD's after every tour, but not Mariah. In fact, the last DVD released by Mariah dates from 5 years ago.

On November 6, 2003, almost 7 months ago, Universal Music France confirmed that Mariah Carey's entire concert at Bercy Palace in Paris on November 4 was filmed and would eventually be released as a home video and DVD along with footage of Mariah's promo tour and travels from earlier that year. Two months later, the Honey B. Fly forum moderator posted the following message regarding the Charmbracelet Tour DVD:

"I know that the DVD is something that is being worked on, however, I'm not aware of what the exact contents will be. We'll all just have to wait and see. I've forwarded numerous comments from members wanting to have a more varied DVD that includes a bit of everything; interviews, M&G shorts, etc. Hopefully, we'll see just that."

I have some hope left, but every day that passes my hope diminishes. I'm afraid the Charmbracelet Tour DVD is another Mariah project that gets shelved.
