Mariah Carey Lauded for Live Vocals at Summertime Ball Amid AI Claims on New Single

Mariah Carey has been praised by fans as she performed her biggest hits at Wembley Arena on Sunday for Capital’s Summertime Ball.

The music legend, 56, was one of the headline acts for this year’s concert and didn’t disappoint.

Appearing on stage, Mariah showed off her incredible physique in a figure-hugging black mini playsuit with black tights. 

Mariah closed the ball, and kicked off her setlist with her 1995 hit Fantasy, before Emotions and Hero.

The diva then serenaded the crowd with Always Be My Baby as well as Type Dangerous, Touch My Body and It’s Like That.

The All I Want For Christmas singer brought the Summertime Ball to a close with her 2005 single We Belong Together.

Reacting to her live performance, Mariah was showered in praise by fans who claimed it was her ‘best vocals in years’.

Taking to social media, one concert-goer said: ‘Mariah at the #SummerTimeBall – best live vocals from her in years…and hit after hit after hit. Bring on Brighton Pride.’

A second posted: ‘Mariah killed it at the #Summertimeball looking and sounding incredible.’

While a third enthusiastic fan wrote: ‘MARIAH F****** CAREY What a performance! Omg! NO ONE can say s**t! That voice is HEALTHY, confidence is BACK, and baby that mic was ON!’

It comes after fans had claimed Mariah had been ‘replaced by AI’. 

She returned to the music scene with a new rap single last week called Type Dangerous, but a lot of fans have pointed out that Mimi sounds different compared to before.

‘Is it just me or it doesn’t sound like Mariah at all,’ asked one confused listener.

Reacting to her live performance, Mariah was showered in praise by fans who claimed it was her ‘best vocals in years’.

‘Is it just me or does Mariah’s new song sound like a JLo song? Also… she sounds nothing like herself, the overproduction is weird. Doesn’t sound like her even a little,’ wrote another.

A third wrote, ‘Now who is singing bc that doesn’t sound like Mariah.’

However, other fans argued that the talented vocalist was just using a different style of singing.

It comes after Mariah left some of her Australian fans confused after appearing disinterested as she sat down for an interview with The Project.

The pop diva gave a series of short answers, sometimes uttering single word reposes in a bored monotone while speaking with host Georgie Tunny.

When asked how she handles criticism, Mariah replied simply: ‘By not coping is what I do.’

After a pause she continued: ‘I mean, just don’t pay attention to it, you know? And everybody else goes through it, so… whatever.’

The singer was also asked what she’d like on her tour rider for her upcoming Aussie tour, to which Mariah oddly replied in deadpan: ‘A kangaroo.’
