Mariah Carey Sings "Always Be My Baby" at Home, Reminds Us She Invented High Notes

Updated on March 30, 2020 at 10:25 AM

Mariah Carey brought back a classic track for the iHeartRadio Living Room Concert with Elton John on March 29. Shortly after celebrating her 50th birthday, the singer belted out a nostalgic rendition of "Always Be My Baby" from her at-home studio, and whew, she's still got those whistle tones on lock. Her pianist and singers provided background music from their homes, and even though they were separated by social distance, every piece of the song still fit together.

The unique concert brought together artists like Carey and John, as well as other musicians like Billie Eilish, Demi Lovato, Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes, and the Backstreet Boys, to raise money for food-bank network Feeding America and the First Responders Children's Foundation. Watch Carey's full performance above to dive straight into your feels.
