Mariah gonged in Hong Kong

Mariah Carey, you're no Babs.
At least that's the opinion of a Hong Kong event promoter who said a concert set for tomorrow was called off because of disappointing ticket sales and the diva's outrageous demands.

"We have decided to cancel the event ... due to both the poor response of public ticket sales and also due to specific last-minute demands which we find wholly unreasonable," promoter One Events said in a statement yesterday.

"She was making demands like Streisand," a music industry source told the Daily News. "She wanted special spring water, furniture, lighting and armed escorts.

"They told her: 'This is Hong Kong, not the U.S.,' and she said: 'I am not going on.' So they said: 'Fine.'"

But Carey's manager said the pop star pulled out because the promoter had failed to meet his financial commitments.

Benny Medina of Handprint Entertainment said ticket sales were fine. He denied that the "Emancipation of Mimi" songstress had made any unusual requests.

"In these cases, the artist arrives in their tour bus, goes to a backstage room, performs and then leaves," Medina said. "This promoter is resorting to lies and attacks on Mariah when it's just a result of the fact he can't pay his bills."
