In the video, Carey donned a pink bodysuit with a sheer skirt and matching chunky heels as she sang her 1995 hit and walked slowly across the stage.
She stopped to interact with dancers who were performing with a bit more energy than she was, and her style on the day was simply unlike her usual breathtaking feel to the audience.
During her recent performance, Mariah Carey connected with the crowd using her iconic vocal skills, but her physical movements have sparked mixed reactions on social media from fans.
It was unclear whether the Grammy winner was struggling to keep up with the stage production or was simply too focused on getting the singing right on the day.
Though she lacked a fair bit of energy, Carey did not miss a single lyric and kept smiling throughout her performance.
On social media, Mariah Carey fans have expressed concern about her well-being while others simply used the opportunity to question her ability to keep up with performing at a high level.
“She moves around like she’s an elderly woman”, one user wrote on Instagram.

“Stiff as a board, “Is she OK?”, another stated.
A third wrote: “Our stars are aging. We’re just used to them being young.”
“NO Mariah disrespect tolerated. She’s a SINGER. A VOCALIST. An ICON. She earned her cemented place in history by her talent and hard work. It’s crazy that society thinks you have to keep pushing yourself when you’ve already outperformed 90% of your peers”, another user stated.
Despite the concerns from her fans, Carey’s “Celebration of Mimi” residency will continue with three more performances on February 12, 14, and 15.
She held a series of Christmas-themed concerts in November and December. Carey will be aiming to have a great year once again.
At the end of 2024, Carey’s holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” made history, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for a record-breaking 17th week, which is more than 25 years after its release.
Carey expressed her excitement about the milestone in an Instagram post, saying: “This is amazing!!!! Will never ever ever ever ever take this for granted.”
Mariah’s fans are checking in on her well-being, prioritizing Carey’s health knowing she’s offered the world decades of heartwarming moments, and will be hoping her subsequent performances come good as she continues the event in Las Vegas.
