This is fitting!

According to new reports, Mariah Carey will be performing at Michael Jackson's memorial at the Staples Center on Tuesday morning.

She's reportedly going to perform the Jackson 5 classic I'll Be There.

Mimoo famously covered the song in the '90s on her MTV Unplugged special.

    Her great voice will do the song justice.



  2. 2

    yay!

    Perhaps you should stop referring her as Mimoo and give her the respect she deserves? After all, she has always been polite and kind towards you and you're not exactly the definition of what we say FIT.

    Not only did she famously cover the song, but it because a number 1 hit for her in 1992. In addition, she was good friends with Michael himself so her singing in his memorial is more than just fitting. It's perfect. It's going to be an emotional performance for her and I'm really looking forward to hearing her. Her rendition of the song is always pitch perfect.

    WHO IS THAT FAT LADY???????? she is not popular here in europe. is she somekind of singer or is she from a tv show or something like that.. she is fat but kinda cute



  5. 5

    What?!? Really?
    Mariah Carey is a terrible performer.
    Is she ever wearing something that actually covers her boobs, or isnt too short, that doesn't make her look slutty. Have some class girl!
    I guess she does have a decent voice though, and you've gotta give her plastic surgeon credit.

    what about Whitney Houston or Madonna? Liza? Elton? Where are the other big names?



  14. 14

    Does that mean we have to listern to her warble and shriek her way through what is a wonderful song? Bloody hell, ear plugs in for me then!

    where's the other heavy hitters? Madonna? Whitney Houston? Elton John? Diana Ross? What about an eccentric like Liza or Cher?

    Re: give_it2me
    LOL. Does the term "international superstar" mean anything to you? Of course not. Even isolated monks in Tibet know her. Idiot.



  17. 17

    Yeah, she'll be there… six hours late.



  18. 18

    It's unfortunate she can no longer sing the way she was able to back in the day when she first sang that song for Unplugged. I foresee the possibility of some serious lip-synching as she has done so much in recent years.



  19. 19

    I knew someone would perform I'll be there! I would not want to be in LA at this time. Everyone going please be careful.



  20. 20

    PEREZ HILTON IS A DOUCHEBAG! YOU HATE ON PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR OWN INSECURITIES AND YOUR TRASHY, VOUGER AND PORNOGRAPHIC WEBSITE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN!!!



  21. 21

    I"m glad I won't be there.



  22. 22

    THANK GAWD, A TRUE STAR to perform,, unlike j hudson and other reality idiots



  23. 23

    Ok. Maybe I wasn't going to tivo this. Now I am. I love vintage Mariah. And love her doing that song. Someone get Trey Lorenz on the phone. He was great too with her!



  24. 24

    …hopefully this is correct regarding the song selection. There won't be a dry eye in the house. If she plugs her new single there will be questioning eyes in the house.

    Re: SWEETPIECE! – shit sp, we were actually nice to each other yesterday, and might i add funny as hell



  26. 26

    Re: PP16WW – what the fuck? leaving coded messages all over the place????



  27. 27

    Re: SWEETPIECE! – I'm with you–nothing could lure me there–loved MJ though

    Barf!!!

    She's obviously going to oversing, as usual. She's going to act like this is her show and she's gonna try to outstage and out-diva every bitch on the show. I'm definitely gonna skip that part.



  29. 29

    She has an amazing voice & will definitely do the song justice!

    R.I.P. Michael



  30. 30

    she's annoying - out of all the performers - I feel like she was a poor choice - get someone that sings not screams.



  31. 31

    I was born in '82, the year Thriller came out. I didn't really didn't know anything about the Jackson 5 or their music until much later and I remember watching around the house in the early 90's while my mom was playing little MJ singing I'll Be There. I turned to my mom and asked, "why is that girl singing Mariah Carey's song?"



  32. 32

    Nobody wanted to be near him before! Now everyone is his fan and his friend. Poor MJ… No real friends when he really needed in bad times.



  33. 33

    WHY?????????????????????????????? HASN'T HE SUFFERED ENOUGH??????????????????????? MAYBE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET ANY REAL TALENT BECAUSE SHE'S IN EUROPE ON TOUR!!!! AKA THE QUEEN



  34. 34

    She's just trying to promote her new single, shameless fat cow!
    I hope she dies!!!!



  35. 35

    Mimoo would you plz die!!! bring our Michael back!!!



  36. 36

    Re: PP16WW – #11 CAN U TELL IT TO ME WHILE WERE MAING LOVE?



  37. 37

    horrifying. she is all "me me me me" and will give the pretense of humility or empathy…..just like when she went to Africa all tarted up and pretended to care about the starving there…then back to the Bahamas for custom everything. Michael's version of I'll be There is infinitely better, and he was a baby…leave the diva out of it. YUCK! SHe needs to see his plastic surgeon and get those implants out.



  38. 38

    Pssh. Crap compared to Michael



  39. 39

    Too bas she sounded horrible



  40. 40

    IDK About the outfit. don't think it's funeral attire.
