Mariah Carey may reign as one of the greatest voices of all time, but she remains oh so embracing of the young vocalists she inspired.
Case in point JoJo.
Mimi invited the songbird to join her backstage at her ‘Butterfly Returns’ residency; and together with her background vocalists, the singing supernovas took vocal flight with ‘Everything Fades Away’ from 1993’s ‘Music Box.’
Watch them soar after the jump…
Jo took to her social media afterwards to share a message of gratitude to MC:
“typing this from beyond the grave, please bear with me. @mariahcarey is my idol. the reason I sing. listening to her- I’m STILL learning and will forever be a student of her. Last night I had the honor of experiencing firsthand the generosity, graciousness, and beauty inside and out this woman possesses. Not only is her Vegas residency nonstop AMAZING- spending time with the queen backstage was everything I could have hoped for. As you can see, I am fully on cloud 9. Really soaking in this MOMENT. MC, not only is your voice from out or this world, but you are one of the greatest songwriters of all time. I aspire to have the longevity you have. And to make other singers who are coming up after me feel the way you made me feel last night. Thank you. I respect you. And I love you.
Forever your lamb,
Jo ??”
Beautiful! Praying for JoJo’s comeback. She deserves success
They sound like angels together, Mariah’s and JOJO have the BEST BSIDES
I’m literally in tears watching, listening, admiring this all!! And the beautiful tribute message from JoJo to Mimi … just wow.
Look what God did!!!
This skits of Mariah singing B-side songs and rare songs is so goooooooooooooood. Mariah, keep doing ya thang diva.
Two Grammy winners.
We like to see it
Jojo allowing the music and talent to speak for its self, unlike some people who have to name drop someone more popular than them to get headlines and sympathy. Smh
How far can sympathy and playing the victim take u? No very far.
Cant sing, cant write bops, cant dance zero personality, zero stage presence.
Doing backflip and cartwheels will never give u a number one

Yassss!!! She singing with the top of the crop in her craft including her idol and yet her voice still shines without having to try hard. I love JoJo so much <3 so glad Mariah acknowledged her
I love for her to do an album of unreleased music such as – Everything Fades Away, Do You Think Of Me, Slipping Away, Skydiving ect

LMAO Mariah Carey was like I still dunno her. She thought jojo is just a random background vocal
