Image Entertainment has announced that they will bring the concert film 'Mariah Carey: the The Adventures of Mimi' to Blu-ray on April 15th, day-and-date with the DVD release.

Yess!!! First one! Too bad its Mariah Carey, I will probably have to buy it for my wife though, she loves concerts on bluray. I know my Uncle has been infatuated with Mariah forever, so he will be picking this up for sure too.
This will be my fifth concert on Blu-ray. I already have Destiny's Child, Incubus, Justin Timberlake and Beyonce and they all look and sound great. No nit-picking here.
This is great! IE has released music videos only on hd dvd format. This is a good sign that they will soon release many other goodies (incl. Roy Orbison, Chicago/EWF, Moody Blues, ELO, Yanni, etc) on blu-ray.
Most IE DVDs I own are in DTS 5.1 so I strongly believe this BD should have a DTS audio track at least. I already pre-ordered at Amazon ($19.95).
I really liked Mariah in her shy, pre-diva days but even with an attitude, I still like her voice (music). So, I'm sure I'll get this but I hope we get lossless audio. Not a deal-breaker for me but it's of course, preferable.
Just hope it's a press release error like I am Legend from Press Release listing the Bluray version with only DD 5.1, after that a TrueHD 5.1 was confirmed..
I mean it's a show... compressed audio should stay Web download imho... I mean Short Circuit is DTS HD MA 5.1 LOL!
Her last album sold 6 or 8 million (cant remember excactly) world wide, in todays world those numbers are amazing as great albums struggle to go 1x Platinum.
I bought a DVD release few month ago ( 2 dvd set and yes it's a french edition, at least for one time we'got a release before US, usually it's 5 or 6 month later and sometimes never!). Picture was great ( I mean for a dvd) , and it must look amazing in HD extras are really poor but the concert was very good, it definitly deserves a hd relaese ( But please in PCM and no DD 5.1).
I'm looking forward for others concerts of Mariah Carey.
