Don't think about buying Mariah Carey: Around the world "JUST DO IT"! This dvd is so beautifully arranged. It has all live performances of Mariahs biggest hits taken from all over the globe. Get down to such hits as "Honey", "Dreamlover" and "Fantasy" then cool down a little with magnificent ballads as "Whenever you call", "I still believe" and "I'll be there" also you can't go past "Hopelessly devoted to you" with special guest Olivia Newton-John. This dvd also contains a complete discography, biography, 3 languages (english, french and spanish), lyrics and 4 videos: "My all", "Butterfly", "Breakdown" and "The roof". As the first dvd I have ever brought, I recommend it to any massive mariah fan cause "It's all that and more". Good quality and quantity.

THE ROOF:10/10
cool song, one of her best videos
MY ALL:9/10
it's a great song, but they should have not put it on this DVD, because it was already on the 1's DVD,they should have put Honey or one of her old videos(i.e. Emotions,Dreamlover,Vision of Love)

OVERALL THIS DVD WAS GREAT AND IT IS WORTH YOUR MONEY PLEASE BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing that sucks about this DVD is how it's cut, I mean it will cut off right in the middle of the song. It gets really annoying...but it does have the videos of "Breakdown" and "The Roof" 2 of Mariah's best videos.

I just finished watching this and would agree with a couple of previous reviewers. First of all the concert portion (only 45 mins) to me was disappointing. I've seen her in concert and that was WAY better than this presentation. Not to dis Mariah but what was up with your hair in most of it?!? Her hair was like a cavewoman. There is an invention and it's called a brush. Terrible job by the stylists on that as well as some of her wardrobe choices. I agree with the horrible editing others of stated. Some of the audio as well is also disappointing. I hear some odd crowd noises at times when I should be hearing Mariah. Also this is hardly around the world, seems most of it focused on Australia, Japan, and New York. There were too many "fluff" pieces that could have added up to more actually singing performances which is what I paid for. I don't really care for her dogs, swimming with dolphins, etc. Just sing and dance baby. Highlights for me were Fantasy, Whenever you call, Honey, the videos of The Roof, My All, and especially one of my favorites--Breakdown saved this DVD. I hope she releases a better DVD like a compilation of her full concerts (like 2 hrs) and videos--(I can't find that Sweetheart video which has been absent from any DVD thus far). They need to do a presentation along the lines of Janet Jackson's concert DVDs. I would instead of this DVD recommend another called Mariah's #1's.

This dvd is awesome. It has footage from Mariah's concerts from all over the globe (even Australia) where I am from. Nothing compares to the calm relaxed atmosphere you get from this dvd. With all of her biggest hits, 4 extra video clips, a discography, biography, instant chapter access, 3 languages(english, french and spanish), interactive menus, dolby stereo, dolby digital 5.1 surround sound and digitally mastered. You will really enjoy such songs as "Whenever you call", "I still believe", "I'll be there" and "Hopelessly devoted to you (with Olivia Newton-John)". Australian fans will no doubt cherish this dvd as it has footage of the only Mariah visit ever made down under! Also has some very funny little snippets and conversations with mariah and other associates.

On watch mariah carey around the world DVD, I was very happy to see that it was a very great DVD. I showed all her great songs and they went around the world and showed some of her concerts which were mind-blowing. The music was loud and you had to get up and dance with her. If you are think about buying this DVD, please think no more because this is one DVD you can not miss out on. I promise you will love this DVD if your a Mariah Carey Fan, it is just so cool. Plus you get about four extra videos on the DVD which are: Break Down, Butterfly, My All and The Roof. So what are you waiting for, go buy it. It worth the money I PROMISE!

We did when we bought all those Mariah albums. I think we deserve better when it comes to Mariah performances on Dvd. I mean they still haven't released The First Vision on dvd yet I don't think they ever will. This concert has so much bad editing. Let her sing one song all the way through at least once. The only reason I gave this dvd five stars is because of the exclusive music videos. The Roof and Breakdown are classic. Swimming with the dolphins was also very cute.

i love this video of mariah carey. i did not buy this from amozon.com i bought it from best buy in lubboc. i recommend this for every mariah fan it contains butterfly intro/emotions fantasy dreamlover my allconversaton with brenda k starr i still belive ill be there with trey lorenz fun in australia hoplessly devoted to you with olivia newton jonn 1's fan oppreachation party whenever you call with brian micknight honey hero butterfly video breakdown with kraziebone and wishbone i love this video!

wow! this is the greatest, i must say, mariah really prove her worth, she is so real and dynamic, love the way she perform I STILL BELIEVE, and the remaking of WHENEVER YOU CALL with brian mcknight! this is surely the greatest, but unfortunately a tad too short! hopefully she can have another vhs that feature all her no 1 songs !

1.As a Mimi fan, this DVD show bad perfomences of her (with Olivia NJ very bad video) its obvious she has much better perfomences aruond the world.
2.the vidios are cut in the muddle
3.some vidios are changed in the middle to another performences - how can i enjoy half a show?? its wired and dissaponting to see that.
4.I saw much better performences on internet sites and I am sad to waist 13$ on a bad DVD like this one.
5.I also orderd Medison Squere Garden DVD and he was amazing! so I have a way to compere between a good DVD and a bad one.
