Mimi, Are You Ok?

As a favor to her hubby, Nick Cannon, who just happens to be the host of America's Got Talent, Mariah Carey performed on the show last night.

Mimi sang her latest single Obsessed, but there was something off about it all.

The performance was very reminiscent of Britney's VMA gig back in 2007: dull, disappointing and down-right awful.

Watch her performance (above) and tell us what U think.

Try not to fall asleep watching it!

      shes a singer not a dancer and she sang fine

    2. ayma says – reply to this


      202

      what was wrong with it? I thought it was great



    3. 203

      bad performance. she's chubby. hate her. this song sux…just like mariah



    4. 204

      someone wake me up …… dont do drugs mariah :)



    5. 205

      Great performance! I really liked it -she looked great. Snaps to her for going outside her comfort zone and pulling it off. Love the ponytail song is growing on me and Shes not the greatest dancer but she never was at least shes trying something new. The problem i think is that she was bothered by her back up vocalist volume level was too high. Perhaps its the same back up singer from the Touch My Body mess up way back when in times square….. Anyway She was great. She didnt dance that much but then shes singing.



    6. 206

      At 1.54 she does the classic mariah "I'm bothered by that" smile. Her backing singer got on her nerves. (the same smile she did when whitney used chest voice at the oscars and tried to blow her away)

      Also i think her heels look great but shes uncomfortable walking in them.

      Still a good performance. This song doesnt cal lfor vocal gymnastics. its a straight forward mid tempo urban track.



    7. 207

      ZZZzzzzzz



    8. 208

      Re: mommy2malik
      I meant as in presentation. Her live performances have been described as "boring," seeing that she just stands there and doesn't do much.



    9. 209

      c'mon now stop hating mariah may not be the best dancer but her vocals are flawless i like britney but her vma performance was a hot mess



    10. 210

      she ain't foccusing on this performance. I guess she still shook up when she heard the track from Eminem 'the warning' lol. Who would be obsessed anyway. I mean remove the fake eyelashes, hairpiece, balloons. What we have a ratface with rabbit teeth. Gaintic forehead, turtle eyed flat chested wanna be pornstar prostitiute just like her big sister lol.



    11. 211

      Stop hating perez and get a life!!!
      She sang live, sounded good, fab high note at the end and looked hot (lil bigger, but hot) She's never been a dancer and wish she would stop, when your voice is that good you dont need to and I found the performance very entertaining - in a good way!

      She was probably nervous to begin with as she knew she was going to picked up seven hundred times and didnt want to fall!!!



    12. 212

      NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING AS BAD AS BRITNEY SHE SANG LIVE DIPSHIT.



    13. 213

      The problem here is that back when Mariah started out she could get away just trying to look cute and sexy, not really move a whole lot on stage. Now you have performers like Beyonce, Lady GaGa, Rihanna, and I don't think Mariah can afford to just stand there looking sexy and basically moving about like a cat in heat. If she wants to stay in the game she needs to give a more energetic performance and lighten up with the backup track. She could learn a thing or two from Beyonce….seriously. This performance was a pretty cool song, cool dancers…….an overpowering backup track, and one cat in heat wearing heals. I love Mariah, but wasn't impressed.



    14. 214

      That was the most lethargic live performance I've ever born witness too… looks like that extra chub + the stilettos were keeping her from putting on any kind of show… a bunch of background dancers can only do so much for ya girl



    15. 215

      BORINGness.



    16. 216

      I watched that, and didn't think it was that bad. But wasn't her best performance for sure! But do love her : )



    17. 217

      it wasn't bad at all. sing us a song perez??



    18. 218

      i love her



    19. 219

      Well, she's a terrible dancer so they never have her doing hard, fast dance moves but at least she was singing and not lip syncing.



    20. 220

      Why was she so off-key?



    21. 221

      I hold a miserables 3 min 19 sec…and went to the bath..take a snap..an still smiling, and jumping the same dancer..OMG..what a fucking deception.
      .
      WTF with the skinni jeans and shirt…….she looksunconftable…so do I.



    22. 222

      i agree wow that was terrible and indeed VERY reminiscent of britney's vma debacle. the singing was the worst…is this why she never sings live? if so, she should just stick to lip-syncing from now on



    23. 223

      It wasn't that bad………………aww who am i kidding?!?!??!?



    24. 224

      Her and Nick are so cute together. I thought it was a good performance, cuz she's never been much of a dancer anyways. Mariah's hot, get a hobby and stop hating.



    25. 225

      i thought the same thing when i watched this the other night. something is for sure wrong, either shes hurt,drugged up or drunk,or just doesnt have it anymore.



    26. 226

      I don't actually like the song much. But i don't think it was that bad. She could've moved a bit more :D . But at least the clothes were good and she did sing live. :D



    27. 227

      how do u expect her 2 move with her clothes so tight n 6 inch heels on?



    28. 228

      it was boring but there werent anything especially wrong with it



    29. 229

      I'm amazed at how little she moved. She kinda just stood there and walked back and forth. It was so boring I didnt even finish watching it



    30. 230

      Yea…that performance sucked…and she looks so phony showing affection to Nick…



    31. 231

      lmfao! eminem's diss is getting to her.



    32. 232

      Mariah and Nick interacting made me feel icky like when Michael and Lisa Marie kissed at the Mtv awards. My mind feels violated.



    33. 233

      Dont hate on M



    34. 234

      i really don't see what perez is talking about… she always been like that performing!! she's not a dancer… she's a singer!!! get over it perez!!



    35. 235

      The aucoustic is terrible. The back-up singers have the same problem, so it's not just Mariah.



    36. 236

      Boring, yes. But AGT is a family show afterall. I guess the producers wanted Mariah to keep it PG.



    37. 237

      Re: AmeRican2010 – ….Lol….Same (:



    38. 238

      ya know Perez, in time when she's dead and gone and your dead and gone, who do u think is going to be remembered? you might get a 10 second spot on the news starting with "remember that gossip guy …?" most of us will have forgotten by then…..but i guarantee we'll all remember MAriah, she's talented and gorgeous AND DOES SOMETHING OTHER THAN SIT HER FAT ASS AT A COMPUTER AND TALK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE for a living, ew what kind of person WANTS to gossip for a living?



    39. 239

      she always sucks when she sings live ALWAYS!!
      Eminems song is hilarious!



    40. 240

      She has never been all about dancing. She is a singer. That is her focus.



    41. 241

      wow i don't know which was harder to watch, while she sings or her actions after …wow



    42. 242

      Mariah's performance was indeed off. I'm guessing it was the drugs or booze. Lately she's been screwing up right and left, and making all sorts of excuses. She'll probably claim she was ill, or tired this time. If she doesn't pretend nothing happened. Rehab, Mariah. Get some rehab.



    43. 243

      DIGGIN THE EMINEM THE WARNING! DAMN HE GOT HER GOOD! PROPZ!



    44. 244

      TEAM EMINEM BITTCHHHHHH……Dick Cannon N Mariah SCARey sucks ass



    45. 245

      Mariah always said, "My dancing is like my cooking: I try."

      Mariah knows that she isn't a good dancer. She can move her hips a bit and she does the same moves whenever she is dancing to an upbeat song, but she is NO DANCER. She is a singer/song-writer.

      Also, since the BEGINNING of her career (1990), she always said she had stage fright and she becomes very, very nervous. She was obviously nervous here since she hasn't performed live in a good while. Her nervousness was really cute anyway and her voice was also very good. The back up singers on the other hand, were pitchy and not even trying to harmonize with her (hence why she would smile when they went out of tune). Fortunately this made her look top knotch. Her personality really shined her too: Cute and funny.

      LOVE HER



    46. 246

      tedious…she isnt moving and the song isnt very vocally powerfull. not so enough so as she can just stand there to not move



    47. 247

      she's not feeling the song cuz the song isnt real, and she's thinking about eminem the warning lol :)



    48. 248

      eminem traumatized her haha



    49. 249

      Dont u listen to everyone calling u fat u look good hun. She seems like it hurts to move. Maybe she is thinking of eminems worry.



    50. 250

      deffo not her best performance, but then again shes mimi and she should always be good. her amazing vocals at the end (omg those high notes) were amazing and the last bit at the end with nick was sooo cute! i thought it was adorable, they actually love each other



    51. 251

      maybe MARIAH'S SCARED……Em, how about another diss???hahaha!!!



    52. 252

      Re: divarusted – she could deffo go back to what she was, but after she switched her music type and style it just wasnt the same… her voice is so amazing i only listen to her old songs!



    53. 253

      Did Nick say "SMASH" hit LOL it didn't even break the top ten LMAO….Guess marrying Mr. Drumline didn't help her music



    54. 254

      Hold Up…Why Is It That People Can*t Give Their Honest Opinion Anymore Without Being Called A Hater…Perez Isn*t A Hater He*s Just Stating That Mariah*s Performance Was Less Than What She*s Use To Delivering…& The Performance Was Horrible So Get Over It…Mariah*s Losing It Already…Time To Give It Up.



    55. 255

      & By The Way Singing Live?? Haaaaaaaaaaa…She Was Barely Singing…



    56. 256

      LMFAO, ooohhh mariah……… horrible



    57. 257

      What's wrong with it? You cannot compare this to Brit…no two piece outfit stringy hair or hald azzed dance moves.



    58. 258

      BORING!



    59. 259

      That was awful!!! I just hope my fave performers never fail as hard as her or Britney!!!



    60. 260

      Can she please sing something and wear something that is appropriate for a woman of her age? God woman, grow up already!



    61. 261

      aww! the ending was so cute!XD



    62. 262

      she looked DAMN GOOD! and at the end of the day she still hit them high notes! She is my musicaL icon and all the haters go suck a dick, especially u perez…. neways her n nick and really adorable!



    63. 263

      like tim minchin says
      if shes gonna mime her shows, why do a mariah carey song
      she could do a song thats good!!

      search for tim minchin on youtube

      100% laughs!!



    64. 264

      I didn't think the Mariah's performance was her best, but it wasn't awful…now the backup singers were really bad.



    65. 265

      her back up singers suck



    66. 266

      She sucks…and WTF was she doing when she jumped up at the end…proving Nick can lift up her fat ass…whatever



    67. 267

      Her stylist should be fired.



    68. 268

      wow she's fat n how old is she? isnt it time to stop trying to sing like she's in her 20"s n have a family already?



    69. 269

      she's delusional!



    70. 270

      WACK!



    71. 271

      Mariah is way past her prime. You have a near-40-year-old woman trying to act as if she's 20. Her once-superior voice is completely shot. She can't even sing live anymore; hence the multi-layered track. Too bad we can't relieve the early 90s, which was Mariah's prime.



    72. 272

      that was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    73. 273

      wow wats wrong with her? it seemed like she was really tired but just trying 2 hold on! poor mimi!!



    74. 274

      its a dull song. no emotion or creativity. just generic & blah. she's become complacent & her career is dwindling.



    75. 275

      Perez : SHUT UP …. She looks great, the dancers too… What s your problem ? just want to compare with the old magesty ??? No, forget ab it, JUST close your ***** and listen…



    76. 276

      Re: stendu – CONGRATULATIONS !! EXACT 10POINTS



    77. 277

      Not as bad as Britney.. Plus mariah sings live… so yea.
      Hate on her all you want but the girl can belt it out usually.
      This just a off night..



    78. 278

      nobodys obsessed with that bitch!



    79. 279

      woooow! THIS SUCKS! can she be anymore stiff? i think her hubby made her do this & shes just thinking about them pix eminem has! lmao! dummy! well yeah, i hate her clothes too o8fypiyhlkjasdbv.,asdhbvkjahsdkjvhads! ha!



    80. 280

      Yeah it totally sucked but all her performances do…she always just twitch around the stage lol I never seen her dance before



    81. 281

      DAMN MANEATER!!!!! OR SHOULD I SAY …MANSTEALER!!!!!!!!!!!



    82. 282

      she knows everyone in the audience and at home has heard the warning…awkward for her



    83. 283

      Re: dolphinlvr1998
      Wow, you are so wise! Your Mama must be soo proud. Boo



    84. 284

      She was sooooooooo bad !! She really needs to retire already !!! and her and Nick Cannon look awful together……like hes her little brother, weirdos!!!



    85. 285

      Bahahaha eminem did do her dirty lol that was hilarious…I was sad for her career after i heard it lol!!!It doesn't even matter how she performed she needs to get in the studio and say somethin…come one mimi I want to root for you!!



    86. 286

      well the only interesting part about that was the fact that the back up dancers looked like they were having a seizure! lol am i right or am i right?



    87. 287

      this is totally borinq! she cudnt performe right because she wus scared that eminem wus cum bcck again wiff anotha warninq! lol



    88. 288

      I think you went over board to say she did as terrible as Britney lol. She was a little boring. Is she pregnant? She looks kinda big lol. I've heard better from her though.



    89. 289

      kinda boring but still ok…



    90. 290

      what is she wearing?! her clothes are awful and the song was boring



    91. 291

      Agree with KC, looks like she didn't rehearse it. She also looks a little bloated. Maybe she wasn't feeling too good. Is she pregnant?



    92. 292

      Mon Dieu! This slut sucks on stage! She barely sings! She can't do a decent dance move either! Jesus! Is this an artist?? She's over!



    93. 293

      I don't like the chorus ppl at all, but her notes towards the end were awesome…I LOVE HER SOOOOO MUCH!!!



    94. 294

      so boring



    95. 295

      this freaking sucks butts. the most entertaining part was apparently when the dancers picked her up!! OH YAY! LAME!!!!!! AT LEAST BRIT ATTEMPTED TO DANCE IN 07's VMAs.



    96. 296

      omg. so lame. the most entertaining part is when the dancers pick her up. OH YAY! at least brit attempted to dance in the 07 vmas. this is just lame!
