Mariah got emotional as she sang without music.
Mariah Carey joined the chorus of celebrity voices calling for change in the wake of the tragic death of George Floyd. On Saturday, the 50-year-old music icon took to Instagram to honor Floyd’s memory with a moving performance of one of the songs from her debut album.
Without musical accompaniment, Mariah sang a few lyrics from her 1990 song, “There’s Got to Be a Way.” The tune was a plea for people to unite and work on curing society’s ills. Mariah mentioned racism, poverty, and hunger as a few of the problems plaguing the world that some people simply try to ignore. The lyrics she chose to sing in her short Instagram video focused on what she described as “unregulated bigotry.” She also called for people to “connect” with one another.
For her performance, Mariah wore a plain black T-shirt and pulled her hair up. The lighting of her video was somewhat dark, but her flawless skin appeared to glow as she began softly singing.
