Mariah Carey caused quite a stir among her fans when a video of her recent Las Vegas performance was shared on social media last week. The clip showed the Grammy winner, 55, delivering a lackluster show, far from her usual vibrant self.
The “Always Be My Baby” hitmaker’s actions seemed sluggish as she engaged with her backup dancer and sang a medley of different songs.The fan-captured video sparked concern, with some wondering if Carey was feeling unwell and likening her slow pace and movements to those of former President Joe Biden.

Fans Think Mariah Carey Is Giving ‘Joe Biden Vibes’ After She Shuffles Across The Stage At her Latest Concert: ‘She Can Hardly Move’
Beneath the clip (uploaded by @gsxr_freak02 on February 6th), one user commented: “I love Mariah but that gave me Joe Biden vibes.” Another added: “By all means move at a glacial pace.” Someone else replied: “Omg is she ok?” as an additional fan wondered, “is she in pain? What is going on?” One chimed in: I’m a little worried about my Mimi,” as another concurred: “Is she ok? Or am I watching in slow motion.”
The “Hero” singer was dressed in a bubblegum, corseted pink bodysuit paired with a see-through, sultry dress and darker pink heels. Carey ultimately concerned her fans as she hardly moved on stage. Her dancer, holding her hand and dancing in front of her, made it appear as though the “All I Want For Christmas Is You” artist was having difficulty walking.

After the backup dancer sprinted across the stage, the mom of two (who shares twins Moroccan and Monroe, 13, with ex Nick Cannon) trailed behind him, moving very slowly. Another fan stressed: “she can hardly move,” as one other asked: “Is this a real performance or the dress rehearsal?”
Carey has not yet addressed the incident that sparked worries among her supporters, nor has she responded to their remarks. She is presently wrapping up her series of performances in Las Vegas, known as the Celebration of Mimi. This event celebrates the anniversary of her 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi. The residency, featuring a total of 24 shows, kicked off in April 2024 and is set to conclude this Saturday, February 15th.
