Returning to the live stage after the pandemic, Queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey, made her performance special by bringing out her 12-year-old daughter Monroe to sing on stage.
The mother-daughter duo wore matching white gowns and tiaras and sat for the song on a set that included Christmas trees, presents, and toy soldiers.
“This is our first duet,” Carey told the sold-out crowd, before asking her daughter if her dress is OK. “Alright, this is a beautiful, beautiful hymn called ‘Away in a Manger.’ We’ve been working on this one for a minute,” she says, gently patting her daughter’s back.
Mariah and Monroe sang a classic Christmas song entitled “Away in a Manger” which showed her talent in singing.
Carey started the song with some notes showing off her inimitable upper range before Monroe — not looking the least bit nervous — started with the lyric, smoothly and indeed beautifully, to roars of approval from the impressed audience of 13,000. “My daughter, Miss Monroe,” she says proudly at the end of the 90-second song.
