Mariah Carey performed at the AMAs and she did not dance or even move one muscle below her chest. It’s a special kind of feat. [LaineyGossip]

Hurricane Michael rolled up on Florida so quickly, good God. [Buzzfeed]
My eyes were fixated on that lumpy thing just under her stomach area. What was that? Was it a corset or something? I don’t know but Mariah always looks so uncomfortable.
Probably. If she’s in public, she’s pulled tight to within an inch of her life; seemingly without exception.
I heard she used to get carried rather than use stairs.
I don’t think she likes movement.
She’s one of those people who think: I can REALLY sing; I’m not doing one MORE thing.
I kinda wish I was carried around, too.
yeah. She once said “I don’t do stairs” lol
Back pain or foot pain.
I was thinking that she was too tightly sewn in to move much.
I love Katy’s comments. It’s nice to hear her speak confidently about her accomplishments and life choices. I hope she is happy in her next phase, whether it be kiddos or other professional pursuits. I’m not a fan of her music or choice in men, but I’ve always liked her and rooted for her.
Fans of so many performers last night, but imo Ciara was the most electrifying, although not my favorite song. It’s weird how Mariah doesn’t move any more.
The episode of Family Guy that aired this past Sunday made a real point to call out Mariah Carey for not moving on stage. It definitely has not gone unnoticed that she uses backup dancers to try to camouflage that. ☺
What blows my mind about Michael is that we heard almost nothing about it until the past two days where it suddenly hit everybody just how bad the storm is going to be. Last I checked, it was literally right on the border of a Cat 5 preceding landfall. We’re talking maybe 2-3 mph difference. My father lives literally five minutes from the bay near Pensacola and hasn’t responded to any of my texts, so I assume he’s battened down and boarded up along with my stepmother. I told him to stay safe, but I suspect this is going to be an ugly one.
@Veronica S. Hope your loved ones are safe and sound. Keep us updated? I’ll remember you in my morning prayers. All the best from the other side of the Atlantic.
Pensacola is fine. I’m in Destin and we barely got a scratch. Pan city and Mexico beach were spanked hard.
My mom is outside of Niceville. They lost power but that’s it. I think your parents are ok. I couldn’t call my mom on the house phone because power was out. If their power is out, maybe their cell phone is dead and they cant call you.
Thanks everyone for your well wishes. My family is fine. I wasn’t exceptionally worried about it because I figured they’d lost power, but they were okay. Some aesthetic damage but no flooding. They got lucky this time around. My thoughts go out to everyone else who’s dealing with worse.
If she moves, there’s a chance that her outfit would reveal a lump or bump or a slightly unflattering angle of something. We must be convinced by her at all times how skinny and flawless her body is lol. How dare us see anything else!
I have GOT to see a video of Mimi doing this!
Dear Mariah, it’s ok not to be size zero. It’s ok to have few extra pounds. It is ok not to look like you did in your 20s. It’s ok to feel like you need to lose weight, but you still need to love your body.
Easier said than done.
My guess is that Katy Perry is taking a break from the show biz to focus on her personal life. Good for her.
She really never moves on stage. Not sure why but she never did.
Im not a Mariah Carey fan. But, I know she can actually truly sing. Years ago she did a Christmas special and I can still recall the high notes she could hit.
Personally, I’d much rather see a singer who can sing vs. pre recorded or low talent singer who dances on stage. Adele does not move much either but baby she can belt out a song. See also, Barbra Striesand, Bette Midler, etc.
Yes but that was years ago – sadly her voice is not the same as it once was. Maybe from overuse – who knows.
Agreed
Agreed! Mariah can truly sing. She’s a very accomplished songstress along with Adele and a few others, but very few others are as good. Her stage style may not be moveable, and she may wear corsets to pull herself in, and her bust is always way too out there for me, but I’ve always still admired her and followed her career. She began like anyone else and she prevailed because of circumstance and mostly because she has real talent and an amazing octave range. She has come a long way and I think she has earned respect and a prominent place in her field.
I’m happy just listening to her voice.
I have never liked her personal style (fashion sense) but this is definitely not a lip sync. Mariah has an incredible voice and I think she has been strengthening her vocals. She hit all her notes perfectly and yes, a seasoned professional of her caliber can make this look effortless. Who knows why she didn’t change her pose? Probably the silly vanity outfit (blechh) which made her look quite slim but probably did not enable much movement.
Could not help feel like Mariah is being bodyshamed 🙁
I am fashion shaming her for sure
I’m going to be a Mariah pologist and say the girl can’t dance and she knows it, hence the backup dancers. The Honey video is the only time I have seen her move below the waist and she was a lot younger then. If you don’t have natural rhythm, you don’t want to make a fool of yourself attempting to dance.
Correction! If you look at her very early videos, she does dance and she definitely has rhythm!! She was much thinner, she wore youthful clothing and it was quite different than she is today. I assume it’s just not her desire to dance, but just stand and sing, like Adele. As I watch “some” of the combination singer/dancers, I notice they have to cover their voices up with lots of background noise and activity in order to make their acts seem more attractive (i.e., Brittany Spears, JLo, etc.), but Mariah can pull it off with just singing because her voice needs no cover up or added background.
