The founders of an Australian based fansite for Mariah Carey have closed their website down in protest at the way the singer is being promoted down under. The last straw seems to have been the decision to miss Australia off Carey's forthcoming world tour.
Fansite founder Neil Kenna told Aussie music website Undercover: "With the announcement of the world tour, and the revelation that Australia will yet again miss out, a clear message has been sent to every Australian Mariah fan. It is a blatant slap in the face to each and every fan who works so hard in promoting everything Mariah releases. With requesting campaigns and more, Australian fans are some of the most dedicated in the world. And while we all know that Mariah cannot possibly go to every country, and that a lot of other fans are also missing out, Australia is the only country that has shown so much support, and got so little in return".
No response from Mariah's people on the news, though apparently the rest of the world breathed a sigh of relief that there's one less Mariah site on the internet.
