Mariah Carey - Around the World Reviews: A jumbled mess.  2008-05-17 - Mariah Carey - Around the World is not even a full-length concert, some of the songs are not completed and the intimate conversations with her friends are boring. Mariah even lip-synch's on some of the tracks and her dancing is not great. The only performance I liked was her duet with Trey Lorenz on I'll Be There. This is Mariah's worst concert DVD ever! Don't buy it because it is just segments of live performances, a disappointment.

So Many Rarities, So Little Time : An Essential DVD  2007-12-06 - Fans of Mariah are also critical of this DVD, and I am well aware of its shortcomings. The primary concern here is that they wanted to film Mariah literally "All Around the World", and the results are less than spectacular. I also had a problem with the song selection and the portions of stage banter they decided to include (Mariah in Australia for example - a huge portion of dialog wasn't very interesting even if you ARE a Mariah fan).
The standout was definitely her performance of "Fantasy" with the ODB bit thrown in - some nice choreography here and Mariah actually dances. Its amazing to think she used to be this skinny! Also of importance is the performance with Olivia Newton John singing "Hopelessly Devoted to You". I'm in no way a fan of this overwrought song, but here it sounded pretty good and you can see the two genuinely like each other.
But really, you shouldn't be getting this for the concert. What you should be looking forward to is owning the rare video for "The Roof" (a criminally underrated track off her "Butterfly" album). In fact, the entire DVD is from the 1997 "Butterfly Era", so you have the remaining videos ("Butterfly", "My All" and of course the amazing "Breakdown" all included here). "The Roof" has NEVER BEEN ISSUED on DVD before, and wasn't aired much on TV either, so this is the only way to own it. I would say, this ranks as one of the best Mariah videos ever, so get it now.
I still think the ultimate Mariah DVD is the 2007 release of her 1992 MTV Unplugged Concert, but considering the extras on this DVD, you can't quite go wrong. Highly Recommended.
