Mariah Carey appeared on stage at the American Music Awards as part of the awards ceremony’s 50th anniversary celebration, and she received a lot of praise online for her amazing performance.
On Sunday, the 55-year-old singer-songwriter brought her A-game when she performed a perfect ensemble performance of “Don’t Forget Us” and her Song of the Decade and the mega-hit single “We Belong Together”.
Mariah took the stage wearing a strapless black-and-white Schiaparelli gown and an array of diamond-encrusted accessories, including a sparkling necklace. She wore her hair long in layered curls.
She began her performance by singing the intro “Don’t Forget Us” before quickly transitioning into “We Belong Together”, causing the entire audience to cheer and sing along.

One Lamb praised Carey’s look and performance at the awards show, writing: “Mariah Carey, you look BEAUTIFUL tonight and sound amazing!”
“Simply gorgeous @MariahCarey…. Great performance! You looked radiant. Nice to see you on stage again,” another added.
“AWESOME!! You sing so well and look BEAUTIFUL,” another commented.
Meanwhile, some people were upset to see Carey appear so briefly at the AMAs, with one fan writing: “They gave Mariah Carey less than five minutes for her medley? Here’s why Why doesn’t anyone care about awards ceremonies anymore?”
“Why was her performance so short? She’s already a legend, so why?” another asked.
In an interview with Billboard after the show, Carey shared her thoughts after the show: “It was great. I mean, I felt good with the audience. It was a great crowd. “
