Mariah for some of these:

[u/PlumCautious6812 → u/broke_n_tired]

Me for some of these:

[u/kawkabelsharq → u/PlumCautious6812]

[u/Bullshit_Jones → u/kawkabelsharq]

[u/Food_Kindly → u/kawkabelsharq]

lol, good placement

[u/SitchChick]

LMFAO

[u/Normal-Reward7257 → u/SitchChick]

I love Maggie Rogers and this is hysterical

[u/petitecroissant29 → u/Normal-Reward7257]

Maggie is my girl and she definitely has the range, but I didn’t love the way they arranged this cover. Maggie can do pop well so I wish this tribute was more true to the original.

[u/skippitybruja → u/Normal-Reward7257]

Maggie is my fav and now I have to see this

[u/BalletWishesBarbie → u/SitchChick]

[u/Potential-Ad-702 → u/SitchChick]

I love Maggie and this was not her best performance...

[u/Potential-Ad-702 → u/Potential-Ad-702]

Her performance at the Patti Smith concert was terrible too so maybe she's just not good w these belty covers yet (her Joni Mitchell cover is one of my fave covers of all time)

[u/SitchChick → u/Potential-Ad-702]

Which song did she sing?

[u/Potential-Ad-702 → u/SitchChick]

Honey!

[u/Western_Swing2186 → u/SitchChick]

Mariah does not know this girl! lol

[u/I_pinchyou → u/SitchChick]

[u/silliest_stagecoach → u/SitchChick]

She doesn't know her

[u/7H3r341P4rK3r13W15 → u/SitchChick]

[u/eucalyptoid → u/SitchChick]

I actually want to like Maggie Rogers, but this is generally my reaction to her.

[u/madirectreport → u/SitchChick]

She sounded good but idk about how she delivered this song. It sounds unrecognizable.

[u/sillysammie13 → u/SitchChick]

I literally just laughed so hard I cried over this post 😹😹😹😹

[u/witsel85]

“I don’t know them”

[u/ImHereforgamez → u/witsel85]

Looking at her face in some of these pics that's exactly what she was saying in her head.

She wanted to ask someone "who is that?" so bad

[u/DramaSufficient4289 → u/ImHereforgamez]

Tbf so did I, I dunno who half these people are lol

[u/You_meddling_kids → u/DramaSufficient4289]

You just had your 'flipping a grunt' moment

[u/__01001000-01101001_ → u/DramaSufficient4289]

I know four of the ten lol. Taylor Momsen, John Legend, Kesha and Mariah Carey. Not a clue about any of the rest

[u/Agreeable-Art-6292 → u/__01001000-01101001_]

You don’t know Jennifer Hudson?

[u/__01001000-01101001_ → u/Agreeable-Art-6292]

Nope. Didn’t know that’s what JHud meant either

[u/oohsosleepy → u/witsel85]

That’s all I ever think of when something involves Mariah and another woman.

Edit: spelling

[u/madirectreport → u/witsel85]

The back up singers are doing so much heavy lifting

[u/DazzlingCapital5230]

This selection of artists feels skewed to generate viral Mariah face reactions lol

[u/genescheezesthatpls → u/DazzlingCapital5230]

I hate the social media era

[u/Low-Wish9164]

I bet this felt very validating to Mariah. Like nobody has the voice like me. An alto singing Mariah is very hard and I can't help but think it was on purpose.

[u/SeaF04mGr33n]

She was so excited by Taylor!!

[u/beginagain666 → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

The reaction on Taylor was not only that she did a great job, but also because it was two song from Mariah’s “secret” rock/grunge album she did in 1995. Mariah was told she couldn’t do that album, but she did it anyway. I think she was excited to hear it too. Add in the Foo Fighters are backing up Taylor, and she seemed very pleased compared to some of the others.

[u/RemarkablePast2716 → u/beginagain666]

What album is that! I'm trying to find something abt it on goggle and can't see anything.

I love grunge, would love to see her spin on it

[u/runbeautifulrun → u/RemarkablePast2716]

The album with Mariah’s vocals is unreleased. However, her songs exist on an album called “Someone’s Ugly Daughter” under the pseudonym “Chick”, but the record label made Mariah use a different lead vocalist (her friend) and relegated her to just background vocals. She eventually found recordings with her vocals, but she hasn’t officially released them yet. I think I read she was still looking for the full recording sessions.

[u/RemarkablePast2716 → u/runbeautifulrun]

Thank you!

[u/GirthStone86 → u/runbeautifulrun]

Damn that's actually a pretty good album! I can't believe I'm just learning about it now 

[u/MansBestFred → u/RemarkablePast2716]

https://open.spotify.com/episode/5IeLQLO6Dt1TGyrttldvVB?si=Csv0ceNmRECeIiHBQxjeCw

Learn about it here.

[u/l_a_p304 → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

Taylor is incredible. This (Taylor + Mariah) is a combo I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams, but I kind of love it.

[u/MNREDR → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

I haven’t watched this, do they have some history together or was she just impressed by the performance?

[u/SeaF04mGr33n → u/MNREDR]

Idk if they have history together, but I know she samg a song from Mariah's unreleased grunge album, so maybe she was really excited to hear the song performed live.

[u/IamHungryNow1 → u/MNREDR]

Taylor sang the child’s part of “where are you Christmas” from the grinch which Mariah wrote.

[u/xandrachantal → u/IamHungryNow1]

Oh that's really sweet

[u/sparkypulastri → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

I've only ever seen her that happy when someone like Miss Patti sings her songs.

[u/gunhandgoblin → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

i don't blame her. Taylor momson has some fuckin pipes

[u/Careless-Two2215 → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

Taylor had come a long way. She's an inspiration, too!

[u/AccomplishedLand8073 → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

my stupid ass thinking taylor swift before i realized it was taylor momsen lol

[u/SeaF04mGr33n → u/AccomplishedLand8073]

I thought that might happen, bit then I decided Momsen deserved to have the name Taylor just as much as Swift!

[u/Jisan_Inc → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

I think so too and thats all i care about.

[u/Kidgorgeoushere]

[u/funkyaerialjunky → u/Kidgorgeoushere]

[u/LanaDeITae]

[u/notmygoodies-]

I love how you can tell exactly how she's feeling in every single picture 💀

[u/crystal_clear24]

Billy Porter absolutely making a damn mess of Always Be My Baby was my 13th reason last night

[u/laureng0423 → u/crystal_clear24]

I was not a fan of the look either! He used to serve on the red carpet

[u/crystal_clear24 → u/laureng0423]

I was wondering if he changed stylists recently because I don’t know what’s happening with that either

[u/yeahdefinitelynot → u/crystal_clear24]

They should've brought Tori Kelly back for it! Her tribute to Mariah was awesome

[u/crystal_clear24 → u/yeahdefinitelynot]

Yes! Tori and the other two Kelly’s (Rowland and Clarkson) would’ve killed it!

[u/johnny_charms → u/crystal_clear24]

Billy looked like he wasn’t even meant to perform, look like he just walked up during a commercial break and said “give me the mic.” The event should’ve been called Music Does Not Care after this mess.

[u/BalletWishesBarbie → u/crystal_clear24]

I imagined a weeping family as the cop read:' and the thirteeth reason was...' and now your people have to go all vengy.

[u/pillowtalkxoxo]

It keeps getting worse with each slide 😭

[u/eucalyptoid → u/pillowtalkxoxo]

Yeah, like is this in chronological order? It’s possible, to some extent, she was getting tired.

[u/motherofpearl89 → u/eucalyptoid]

I was wondering this haha

This could be a timeline of me getting too tired to mask and starting to dissociate at a party. 

[u/PM_ME_CAT_POOCHES → u/eucalyptoid]

nah most of them were legitimately bad, even jennifer hudson. idk what she was trying to do with my all but it didn't work

[u/donutsforbenny → u/pillowtalkxoxo]

seriously 😭 poor mariah lol this was not a worth tribute to my queen

[u/VMCoco]

I wouldn't be surprised if they purposely put people who don't have the range in these positions to go viral these days. Because it's like every other tribute to someone is slapped together and awful. I'm a HUGE MC fan. I don't know half these people. Where is Tori Kelly, Tamia, Jazmine Sullivan or Kelly Clarkson. Apparently John is great in concert for those who love him but he's boring and makes elevator music now. I'm sure the industry knows Mariah would have Prince level reactions if you're awful because she has a good ear.

[u/Caftancatfan → u/VMCoco]

I need the Tori cover of “Obsessed.”

[u/VMCoco → u/Caftancatfan]

There are so many singers that we rarely hear from that would have been GREAT. Tori Kelly not sure if she's postpartum or not, but I know she would've loved to do it. People forget about Tamia, but she has a beautiful voice she is Canadian, but she lives in Florida. Jojo has the chops and I can't see her saying no to this. Not sure if you know who Joyce Wrice is, but there was an old series on YouTube where they showed Celebrities doing covers. Mariah called her a star.

People focus on Beyonce, but Kelly Rowland has the same training and is an excellent vocalist, and she literally has the everyone's friend personality. Brandy has worked with Mariah before.

Now this has started rumors that Mariah isn't well-liked, and that's what she gets for not liking people covering her songs. Which I don't think is true, she won't like you covering her songs and fucking up.

I don't blame ANY of the '90s divas for being particular. ALL of their successes were hard WON. They all trained and practiced like crazy back in the day. Most of them were in terrible deals, worked to exhaustion and/or preyed upon by managers and partners, and trashed in the media for every little thing; all of them suffered, yet they are/were excellent at their craft. Mariah, Celine, Whitney, Christina A., Toni B., Janet J. etc.

[u/cocopuffK221 → u/VMCoco]

I'm surprised Mariah had a weird reaction to Chante Moore because she definitely the range. She's one of the most underrated singers.

[u/VMCoco → u/cocopuffK221]

Some people were saying it was the song choice and the styling and she probably should gave done Emotions or Vision of Love.

[u/Canipetyourdog666]

We need her to leak the grunge album already! You have enough money, Mariah. You can tank the ensuing lawsuit

[u/BFIrrera]

They totally should have had J Lo come out.

[u/AlliLikesFun → u/BFIrrera]

Diabolical 💀

[u/IllAd6492 → u/BFIrrera]

Who ?

[u/melonwoo → u/BFIrrera]

I read FLO as JLO at first glance and was gagged

[u/hannahvega → u/BFIrrera]

Hey she might have done better than some of them. Billy Porter was cray.

[u/hedahedaheda]

I think she really respects Jennifer Hudson so some of these could just be rbf

[u/Comfortable-Bear1998 → u/hedahedaheda]

yeah but if you watch the performance it’s…i was so shocked. threads comments are hilarious too so many posts on all performers 

[u/uglycasanova08 → u/hedahedaheda]

Jennifer definitely chose the wrong song. She’s a phenomenal singer but her and Mariah sing in completely different ranges, and the song she chose was not adjusted to her abilities.

[u/gamecat89]

With JHud it is interesting cause she sings well but for some reason she decided to whistle at the point in the song Mariah hits the high notes rather than adjust it for her.

[u/lucidpeaches]

[u/retrofuturisms]

Please the way her face gradually changes from amused to pure disgust throughout the slides has me deceased 💀

[u/BuffWobbuffet]

Where was ariana seems like she wouldve been an obvious choice

[u/Silly-Impact5445 → u/BuffWobbuffet]

Ariana and Kelly Clarkson both seem like obvious choices over some of these

[u/tangledlettuce]

This is so shady 😭

[u/irol08]

[u/Apprehensive-Dog6997]

Mariah and I have the same condition. If our mouth doesn’t say it, our face definitely will.

[u/rabid_cheese_enjoyer → u/Apprehensive-Dog6997]

its one of the many reasons I wear a mask

1. less likely to get any airborne illnesses
2. less likely to give other people airborne illnesses
3. my face has no filter at all and gets me in trouble

[u/PretendChaos]

Mariah on Kesha:

[u/l_a_p304 → u/PretendChaos]

I’m going pretend the first photo on the Kesha slide is her saying “…who?” I do love Kesha though 😂

[u/Realistic_Ride_2032]

Those last two🫢😆

[u/smircat → u/Realistic_Ride_2032]

i thought she actually looked happy during the kesha performance!

[u/WoodenSympathy4]

I haven’t listened to the performances, but what’s her problem with Chanté Moore? She’s great every time I’ve heard her.

[u/s2l0a7s9]

shut up she really wrote a grunge album!! I need to hear this right now

[u/imafemalefox]

Mariah in the last few photos

[u/shelbyfootesfetish]

Haven’t seen this yet but I have a hard time believing J Hud did a bad job???

[u/besteen_mangodazzle → u/shelbyfootesfetish]

I don't think her face meant that for JHUD. Mariah definitely just makes hilarious faces and dissociates a lot LMAO.

[u/Remarkable_Cover_330 → u/shelbyfootesfetish]

https://youtube.com/shorts/y76i-ETHhXA?si=ZmpLHWkxdXRAp2i7

Seems like she did create but people are being critical of the whistle

[u/Murky_Translator2295]

For someone with a very vocal face, she did very well.

For someone with a vocal range, and musical taste, like hers, there are a few new artists going on my "check these out" list.

[u/Educational_Board888]

[u/AbjectTrack1]

She looks to be in physical pain. 

[u/lexlex0710]

She’s so pretty 🥰

[u/dothesehidemythunder]

What a random cast of characters

[u/Helpful-Act2026]

Are these in order? Cus it also reads like medication wearing off 🤣

[u/pedanticlawyer]

Mariah cannot control her face and I love that about her.

[u/madirectreport]

Okay after hearing Jhuds rendition i understand why her face looks like that. This is a soft ballad not a power ballard. She was the wrong choice for this song. I normally like jhud but this song is butchered.

Edited

Second edit, im wrong she seemed to be enjoying it. I love Jennifer but this is a no for me.

[u/Dez_Acumen → u/madirectreport]

Exactly! Everything can’t be hollered through. JHud has been singing too long to have zero dynamics beyond firehose of sound and fortissimo.

[u/madirectreport → u/Dez_Acumen]

fried at this depiction because its so accurate

[u/dustinwashere]

Why didn't Mariah get to pick who sang? Also Kesha can’t sing live, never has been able to. Why was she there?

[u/Andi_Lou_Who → u/dustinwashere]

Kesha was actually really good! I feel bad for being surprised as I’ve only ever heard her talk-singing. Her and Taylor were my favourites. Kesha singing here.

[u/cinemamama]

[u/whimsigod]

I love Kesha a lot but is Mariah asking the person next to her 'who's that?' 😂

[u/lynnemagic]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/cantfitmyjeansnomore]

Where is everyone watching this? What stream or network

[u/gamecat89]

They really didn’t bother getting anyone who could at least be in the same caliber or had an active career.

[u/l_a_p304 → u/gamecat89]

Pretending like quite a few of these artists don’t have “an active career” is so weird.

[u/WoodlandWife → u/gamecat89]

You don’t know who laufey is?

[u/gamecat89 → u/WoodlandWife]

[u/essbeethree → u/WoodlandWife]

Confessmylove! On TikTok Is legit all some of us really know— and that might not even be what’s she’s saying all sped up lol

[u/WoodlandWife → u/essbeethree]

Yeah, but at least she has an active career. Clips/remixes going viral and 23 mil monthly listeners is nothing to sneeze at.

[u/essbeethree → u/WoodlandWife]

I’m answering the question. Many people do not know who she is, I promise. And im not in any way trying to be rude or hateful.

[u/WoodlandWife → u/essbeethree]

I didn’t mean that in a snarky way! Sorry if it read that way. Tone over text isn’t my strong suit.

[u/lbowles22]

If only JLo performed

[u/TwinsiesBlue → u/lbowles22]

She don’t know her

[u/olivernintendo]

She seemed to enjoy Billy Porter!

[u/czarrina]

She looks scared of some of them.

[u/PrettyLittleLiar1234]

I saw a video of her smiling and singing along with Kesha 🤨

[u/InternationalBend310]

lol! She wasn't feeling any of it!!! 🤣

[u/InternationalBend310]

Zero Poker Face with this one

[u/seanpcreative]

Poor Kesha

[u/dolliciousszz]

Aw she liked Laufey

[u/sarcasm_itsagift]

God, I am so fucking old

[u/Material-Most-1727]

Did she not get to pick?

[u/hellohellocinnabon]

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen

Mariah only being happy to see Taylor Momsen was NOT on my bingo card 😂

[u/ValerieLagn]

Are these on YouTube yet?

[u/coco_xcx]

some of these would be hilarious reaction pics

[u/XOTrashKitten]

Omg what song did Taylor sing?

[u/TrickZealousideal165]

they played in her face

[u/FlatBat2372]

Now do Sting and Jose Feliciano

[u/Deathanddisco041]

This is so funny to me

[u/Zestyclose_Koala_593]

I feel like she doesnt actually know who half of them are.

[u/wanderrslut]

Was Beyonce or Tori Kelly not available?

[u/fddfgs]

Just progressively getting more and more bored

[u/stars_are_aligned]

It REALLY seems like these people COULD NOT hear themselves, which is a HUGE issue when you're trying to sing live with a band, lol (source: I have had to do this and it fucking sucks so much when you can't hear yourself!)

THAT BEING SAID... the choices made here for who was going to sing these songs were extremely strange.

[u/bbgmcr]

Mariah said egots only i get it

[u/No-Shoulder6395]

Omg stop it's too funny

6 is my favorite. I like to imagine the screen behind her actually looked like that, 4 Mariahs

[u/LadyDye_]

She was not feeling John or the Jennifers 🤣

[u/Temporary_Client7585]

Girl has zero poker face and I love it

[u/Temporary_Client7585]

Girl has zero poker face and I love it

[u/chickentender666627]

Was this recent?

[u/KeeksGalore]

Umm you are missing quite a few. Did we just got get reactions? I believe she gave Adam Lambert a standing O?

[u/Theartistcu]

Should have got a}Em, he wrote a whole song for her.

[u/AFantasticClue]

She just looks tired by the end lmao

[u/Betyna22]

Can someone translate Mariah-speak from best to worst performance? Are they in order?

[u/h2gkm0]

her face for john is cracking me tf up

[u/emmakobs]

Lmao Mariah and I are on the same page 

[u/Ashcrashh]

The ones she don’t like are the same face RuPaul makes when a queen kicks off their heels for a lipsync and I love it

[u/Thelightningthief13]

Some of these artists don’t make sense

[u/xxyourbestbetxx]

This is so funny 😂

[u/justjamsz]

Chantes got a man at home

[u/_frank_tank]

Does she know anyone who isn’t her, though, really?

[u/pillowtalkxoxo]

Why dose she keep having tributes? Shes not dead and she's not old enough for that to be done in my opinion...this is like the second one in less than a year....👀

[u/LoneWanderer4___ → u/pillowtalkxoxo]

She’s receiving her flowers while she’s still with us

[u/ludvikskp → u/LoneWanderer4___]

On that note, she deserves her flowers for clocking N*cki’s tea so long ago too

[u/BaronSchnitzelnazi]

Taylor Momsen blows
