Not everyone can say that they have shared the stage with the one and only Mariah Carey, but this lucky Filipino fan can say that he is one of the very few who was able to experience this once-in-a-lifetime moment.
The Filipino fan named Mark caught the attention of the Songbird Supreme when she held a concert at the Araneta Coliseum on October 26.
Carey called Mark to join her onstage and the latter began dancing while the Grammy-award winning singer sang her number one hit song “Touch My Body”.
In an interview with MYX Philippines, Mark, who has been a fan since 1995, said that he got called onstage after Carey noticed him dancing in the crowd. He said that his customized t-shirt which bears the album cover of Carey’s upcoming album might have helped as well.
“All throughout the show, sumasayaw kasi ako sa gitna kahit nagagalit na ‘yung mga nasa likod ko. Because I am wearing ‘Caution’, the next album of Mariah. Siguro nakita niya a way of promotion na rin,” he said.
Mark said that he has watched other concerts of Carey so he already knew that she would bring a fan onstage when she will sing “Touch My Body”.
He said that he did not expect that he will be the one who will get called but he remained optimistic.
“Turo siya nang turo sa akin so naramdaman ko na ako,” he said.
Mark then said that the marshalls approached him and escorted him onstage wherein he was able to share a short but memorable moment with Carey.
As seen in the video, Mark was able to share a hug and exchange “I love you’s” with his idol.
