Is it still called a tour if you only visit one city?

I sure hope she's looked after her voice. Mariah Carey came to Japan this month - the singing was awful, to put it mildly.

Of course it was 1983, but it was and still the best concert I've ever been too. It was "in the round" and she was so engaged with the audience. I wish I would have known a little sooner. I won't be in Tokyo then.

Tours by foreign artists typically include lots of countries on the same run not just Japan, one city or more, hence the term tour!

I like it when people in their 70's still rock on stage.

With that voluminous hairdo she'll have trouble getting through the stage door here.

I wonder if this means she will do Europe next year?

Time does fly. Her last big international tour was the "Here and Now Tour" in 1991-92 where she hit nearly every major European city, Japan, Australia and across the Anglosphere. Though it was quite successful with "The Force Behind the Power" going Gold and/or platinum in many markets, she would later declare tour to be "burn out time."
Save for one-off gigs in Asia, she also did a couple of "Super Concerts" with Domingo & Carreras.
she then began to do international tours by region like Central/Eastern Europe, 28-30 dates in the U.K. behind the phenomenal success of "One Woman" and then more recently South America.

Miss Ross did the Liverpool pops concerts as one off uk performances , and also a short uk tour in 2008 [[ before I love you was released ) and after the performance I just witnessed in Las Vegas she is back on form and hoping to see her back in the UK soon
