Mariah Carey sparks concern with 'slurred speech' during iHeartRadio Awards as fans insist 'there is something wrong!'
Matching her impressive backstage set-up was her vocals live on-stage.
The We Belong Together hitmaker hit the stage donning a black playsuit with semi-sheer tights.
She styled her hair poker-straight and accessorised with sparkling silver bangles and red lippie.
Despite the London heat, she finished her look with a pair of thigh high boots and dark sunglasses.
Mariah Carey's biggest diva moments
MARIAH Carey is known for her diva antics off-stage. Here we take a look at her most OTT moments.
Kitten demand
: In 2009, Mariah allegedly demanded a rider filled with 20 white kittens and 100 white doves before turning on Westfield's Christmas lights - a request that was denied by retail bosses
Birthday snub:
Recently she said she shunned acknowledgment of her birthdays and said: "I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them - I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling."
Selfie rules
: Previously she told of her selfie rule to Buzzfeed and confessed: "I don't need to take a selfie with someone from their bleak angle; I don't care for that."
Bright light
: Mariah previously said: "I have a rule which states that I will not be seen in fluorescent lighting without sunglasses. I know it's very Nineties."
Show demand
: ITV anchor Kate Garraway said that when she interviewed Mariah in 2009 the famous singer (and infamous diva) was LOWERED onto the GMTV sofa by two ITV producers so that she wouldn't crease her dress. She also had an assistant walk backwards in front of her at all times in case she fell over. As you do.
She closed the show with her hit, We Belong Together, after belting out classics Fantasy and Emotions.
Fans were quick to take to X to praise Mariah's vocals and one put: "What a show… Mariah Carey LIVE in the UK!!"
A second added: "Mariah's mic was ON and she sounded and looked amazing! Perfect finish!"
A third wrote: "Mariah looks and sounds so divine I could cry."
MARIAH'S MOMENTS
The star's diva demands and confessions have gone down in the showbiz history books.
Recently she said she shunned acknowledgment of her birthdays and said: "I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them - I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling."
Mariah is also renowned for her super slim-fitting clothing choices, often accessorised with towering heels.
And she has strong opinions on flats and said: "I can't wear flat shoes. My feet repel them," she said.
Previously she told of her selfie rule to Buzzfeed and confessed: "I don't need to take a selfie with someone from their bleak angle; I don't care for that."
Also, there's a reason why she always in shades: "I have a rule which states that I will not be seen in fluorescent lighting without sunglasses.
"I know it's very Nineties."
