The self-anointed “Queen of Christmas” Mariah Carey performed on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, and the Web is having a field day along with her show.
Donning an enormous pink dress with an umbrella, Mariah sang her iconic tune “All I Want for Christmas” while flanked by dancers.
As usual, Mariah stood still during her performance and didn’t take part the dancing.
Sports journalist Ian Hest wrote: “Mariah Carey is getting hundreds of thousands immediately to simply stand there along with her umbrella and truthfully I’m not mad. Mad respect.”
“I really like the dearth of energy Mariah Carey gives in her performances. It’s the one thing we will all count on,” Twitter user Nick Russo said.
“mariah carey getting paid to simply stand there on the thanksgiving parade and never even pretend to be actually singing to the backing track lmfao queen behavior,” one other person tweeted.
Other users joked that the chart-topping pop star got here “out of hibernation” and “thawed out” just in time for Christmas.
Many poked fun at Mariah for lip syncing her performance, but her fans pointed to a John Legend tweet from 2018 in rebuttal.
“Fun fact. All of us should lip sync on this parade since the floats don’t have the capability to handle the sound requirements for a live performance. Hope y’all enjoyed it anyway. Know that should you come to my shows, the vocals are 100% live!” he said on the time after taking heat for same thing.
“There’s no way that not one single artist performs live at this parade, yet individuals are mad at Mariah for it. Are you all okay???” one other Twitter user said in her defense.
