Mariah Carey has been on the music circuit for the longest time, still performing regularly, but her recent appearance in Las Vegas has people concerned about her health.

Mariah has been strutting her stuff on stage for years now. Thousands of shows under her belt, tons of world-famous songs, and a household name are no small achievements for the diva. I think she is allowed to have the occasional off day here and there.
However, footage from her Las Vegas show has got people concerned. She seems a little out of it. In the footage she can be seen moving slowly around the stage, interacting with a dancer. Her movements are slow and seem slightly out of touch.
The footage has garnered a lot of attention, with people speculating as to the health of Mariah Carey.
Time To Take A Holiday Mariah Carey?
Of course, everyone has off days. Maybe she had a wild night on the famed strip of Las Vegas the night before. I am sure we have all turned up to work with a slamming hangover once or twice. Why can't she do the same?
Of course, Mariah Carey is an icon for many people and a lot of the comments on the video are simply concern for her health. Nobody wants their hero suffering. "Girl, just grab a stool and take a d--n seat!" one commenter adds. Sometimes it's better to sit down. After all, most people are there for her voice, not to watch her strut around in that bodysuit.
There are a lot of comments calling her a lazy performer, and saying she should act her age. However, the Mariah Carey stans are out there, defending her, despite her health. "I see nobody in the comments here that has a five-octave vocal range 19 number-one hits and consecutive awards... None of you will ever ever be her and none of you will ever have the impact that she has."
Honestly, 55 isn't all that old, but she is moving around the stage like a 70-year-old. I don't think Mariah Carey is in bad health, I think she's just a bit tired of a lifetime of performance.
