Mariah Carey's Vegemite Encore: A Taste Test Revisited Down Under!
MIRACLE ON THE MILDENHALL: MARIAH CAREY TRIES TO CONQUER AUSTRALIA'S FIERCEST DELICACY - AGAIN!
In a shocking turn of events, global pop sensation Mariah Carey has once again attempted to tame the beast that is Vegemite, Australia's infamous black spread. The 56-year-old songstress revisited her love-hate relationship with the Aussie delicacy during her recent performance at the Brisbane Showground for the Fridayz Live RnB festival.
As she took a break from belting out hit after hit alongside Pitbull and Wiz Khalifa, Mariah decided to dip into a jar of Vegemite that had been placed on a stool. The crowd gasped in unison as they recognized what was about to unfold - the notorious taste test. But little did they know, this wasn't the first time our pop princess would be putting her taste buds through the wringer.
The singer cautiously took a massive spoonful of the dark, gooey paste and prepared for the impending doom that came with consuming it. The audience's collective gasps turned into a chorus of warnings as fans shouted "That's too much!" However, Mariah remained unfazed, her eyes fixed on the prize (or should we say, the punishment?).
With an unimpressed expression etched on her face, she proceeded to gingerly slip the offending spoonful into her mouth. And just like clockwork, her reaction was immediate and priceless - a slight head shake followed by an underwhelmed "No." As if to underscore her displeasure, Mariah quickly exited stage left with the offending item, leaving behind a sea of giggling fans.
This isn't the first time our fearless leader has attempted this stunt. In 2013, during her Triumphant tour, Mariah had tried to conquer Vegemite at Sydney's Allphones Arena (now Qudos Bank Arena). Back then, she gamely declared "I'll take another taste of the Vegemite for all y'all Aussies out there... even though I can't do the accent." Her attempt was met with snickers from the crowd and a demand for champagne to help wash down the bitter aftertaste.
The fact that Mariah has repeated this stunt not once, but twice, raises questions about her taste-testing methodology (pun intended). While some might view it as a bold move, others see it as an act of self-inflicted punishment - almost as if she's determined to prove her metal in the face of Vegemite.
Fans took to social media to share their reactions and poke fun at Mariah's antics. One Twitter user quipped: "I've already seen this before!" while another shared a clip from 2013, poking fun at the singer's repeated attempts to conquer the Aussie delicacy. But what was perhaps most telling was the comment from a fan who claimed that Mariah had first tried Vegemite back in 1998 - during her Butterfly tour!
It seems Mariah has an unbreakable love-hate relationship with Vegemite, one that continues to fascinate and baffle fans around the world. Only time will tell if she'll finally emerge victorious (or at least, less traumatized) from her battles with this infamous spread.
