For the past few weeks, Mariah Carey has been delighting fans with a “backstage concert series” on her social media where the singer (along with her amazing background singers) harmonize and covers some of her fan fave hits.
This weekend the legendary performer teamed up with another vocal powerhouse, one who she surely inspired–singer, JoJo. JoJo who just announced her own new project came out to support the singer at one of the final shows of her Las Vegas residency ‘The Butterfly Returns.’
JoJo joined the legend backstage and the two covered ‘Everything Fades Away‘ from MC’s biggest selling album to date, 1993’s ‘Music Box.’ Get into the moment below.
JoJo took to Instagram later to also share the clip with the endearing caption:
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. 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 🍀🦋
Classic!
