"I am SO ecstatic this has been released on DVD! Not just because I no longer have it on the Beta Max (no seriously, I really did!) video I recorded from BBC1 all those years ago, but because it contains 'Love Takes Time' which the Beeb cut in the televised show. Although not a hardcore favourite of mine, I'd never seen it performed live before and it actually made me like the song that bit extra.
Whilst the extras were ripped to pieces in the press as airheaded fluff and nonsense, I actually enjoyed them still, and as always found it hard to contemplate why a genuinely nice person having fun with her friends is a bad thing?!? Madonna plays sex games and blows a bottle, and that's cool and respect-worthy, but Mariah has a food fight, and reminisces on shared memories with her friends, and that's pathetic fluffy nonsense? I really don't get this world at ALL sometimes..."

"I'm grateful for the re-release of this concert because I can only remember half paying attention to it when it aired on network television. By now everyone has formed their own opinion about Mariah - but this show portrayed her as a sugary sweet Cinderella type with an undeniably powerful voice!
I enjoyed some of the behind the scenes chats with her mom, the band & back-up singers but really bought this disc for the fantastic concert footage. It was so good to see early Mariah in concert and to see her truly enjoying herself in the behind the scenes footage - she seemed a little more open and less guarded than she appears in interviews today.
My favorite performances are: HERO, VISION OF LOVE & WITHOUT YOU. I'd highly recommend this disc to fans who didn't tape this show and to those who may be curious to see Mariah at the beginning of her career."
At last!

In the concert she sings some of her hit songs from that time period: Hero, Without You, Anytime You Need a Friend, Emotions, Vision of Love. There are also behind-the-scenes parts where Mariah is hanging out with her mom, her friends, her band. A couple of her music videos are also included as extras on the DVD."
