Mariah Carey has become a meme of herself at this point – and for the most part, her fans aren’t even mad about it! However, a recent interview with Australia’s The Project has raised a few eyebrows among fans and critics, leaving them confused and even concerned! And once you watch it, you’ll understand why…
The undisputed Queen of Christmas appeared disengaged and oddly lifeless during a five-minute chat with host Georgie Tunny. She gave short, one-word answers in a flat, monotone voice, and generally came off as bored and dismissive throughout. Check it out below!
Mariah Carey Appears Disengaged And Disinterested In ‘The Project’ Interview
When Tunny asked her what she would like on her tour rider when she performs in Australia in October this year, the “Heartbreaker” singer dryly replied: “A kangaroo.”
Later, when asked how she deals with criticism, the Grammy-winner‘s response wasn’t much livelier, although it was a little longer at least. She said: “By not coping, is what I do. I mean, just don’t pay attention to it, you know? And everybody else goes through it, so… whatever.”
The clip quickly went viral for obvious reasons; and while some viewers slammed the BET Ultimate Icon winner as rude or uninterested, others had a totally different theory: it wasn’t the real Mariah!

Social Media Reactions To Mariah Carey's Interview
"That was the most bizarre interview!" exclaimed one X user on The Project's post. "Why is Mariah so stiff? Almost lifeless," asked a second, as a third questioned: "Was that an AI version of MC? That poor lady. I feel sorry for you. You did your best. She hasn't been called a DIVA for no reason."
"Sure she wasn't an Ai version of Carey? Weird smile, no eye contact. Bot for sure," concurred a fourth X user, as a fifth chimed in: "Mariah gave her zero energy, that woman asked very light questions, kept it respectful and energetic."
Over on Reddit, fans speculated that the strange vibe might be due to something else entirely: medication! "Is she okay? I've never heard her speak so slowly," asked one concerned Redditor. "Whatever meds she's on, they're strong af. They even cause her speech to be slow and slurred," thought a second. "I wish Mariah was not so highly medicated," said a third.
