Mariah Carey KILLS IT In Vegas Rehearsal Nails the High Notes
Mariah Carey is unreal ... we got audio of her full dress rehearsal for her Vegas show which opens tonight, and she sounds as good as she did in 1990 when she hit #1 with "Vision of Love."
Mariah performed for more than an hour Monday night to a packed house at The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace, and you gotta hear it. She hits every high note and sounds flawless.
We got audio from someone in the audience ... filled with various people who work in Vegas-related businesses. We posted a minute-and-a-half and sampled 4 songs. Wait till you hear her hit the high notes in "Emotions."
As for the naysayers who claimed she wasn't rehearsing enough ... whatever she did was clearly enough.

Chris Brown Suspect in Las Vegas Battery ... Basketball Related Again
Chris Brown is accused of brawling with another guy early Monday morning during a basketball game in Las Vegas -- and police have named him a suspect for battery.
The altercation went down at the Palms Casino Resort -- according to police ... Chris was playing hoops at 3:42 AM and at some point he got into an argument with one of the guys playing -- and allegedly punched him. The pickup game was being played in the famous Hardwood Suite ... where Chris was staying.
Police responded to the scene, but didn't talk to Brown when they got there.
Cops say Chris now has 2 options: either sign a citation for misdemeanor battery, and agree to show up in court to face the charge -- OR take his chances with the D.A ... who would decide whether to press charges.
TMZ broke the story ... Brown just settled a lawsuit over another fight during a pickup basketball game in an L.A. gym.
But he also dodged a major bullet -- if the Vegas fight had happened before Chris got off probation in the Rihanna case -- back in March -- he could be going back to jail.

Jay Z hosted, undoubtedly, the most exclusive Mayweather-Pacquiao bash at Marquee Nightclub Saturday night ... VIP tables went for $50k.
He and Beyoncé held court at their own table right on the dance floor -- but while the DJ was trying to get the crowd going, Jigga seemed to be dreaming ... of laying his head on his pillow.

Justin Bieber 'F*** Pacquiao!!!'
Justin Bieber was amped up at Rehab in Vegas before the fight ... singing to Big Sean -- which is surprising -- and making his feelings about Manny Pacquiao clear.
Justin partied with the crowd before walking out with Floyd Mayweather, and at 33 seconds you can see him mouth the words, "f*** Pacquiao" ... he then flips the bird.
It's also interesting he's felling Big Sean, whose breaking with Ariana Grande did not go well. You'll recall he just gave her a squeeze from behind a few weeks back, which set Sean off. We're told Sean doesn't have hard feelings for Biebs ... he thinks Ariana just used him.
Bieber knows how to have fun ... half the battle in life.
