Mariah Carey is getting mixed reviews as photos of her latest stage performance go viral. Earlier this week, the 56-year-old showed off her age-defying looks in a jazzy gold dress, going thigh-skimming and low-cut as she opted for her favorite skimpy finish.
Flashing her curves while turning heads for her weight loss, Mariah belted out her latest "Type Dangerous" track while at the BET Awards, but some fans were feeling that something was off.
Users criticized the Grammy winner for being "frozen" and "not present," with one user even saying that she looked "uncomfortable." Mariah has already faced backlash for her rap single's promo as she posed surrounded by shirtless male models on Instagram.

Scroll for the photos. Displaying her ample cleavage in a strappy, show-stopping minidress in flimsy, sparkly gold shades, Mariah sent out regal party vibes while delivering her world-famous vocals.
Photographed mic-in-hand, the mom of two flaunted her trim waist and legs, but she proved she's kept her hourglass curves since shedding the pounds in late 2023.
Wearing tan stockings and metallic gold platform heels with an ankle strap, Mariah kept coordinated from head to toe, completing her look with her blonde hair worn down and blow-dried straight.

Looking happy and healthy as she smiled on stage, Mariah wore matte makeup, showing off her wrinkle-free skin as she puckered up with a glossy lip. Comments quickly poured in as Just Jared shared the photos on Instagram.
"She looks so good!!" one fan replied. That said, others weren't so sure. One fan gained likes for saying: "Love her, but I don't know what is wrong with her stiffness. She seems mentally absent and not present in her performances."
Another, meanwhile, said that Mariah looks "frozen" when she performs. Thinking that "Type Dangerous" sounds dated and too "2005," a third user wrote: "She looked stiff and uncomfortable on stage."

The singer does not appear to have responded to the backlash. Her post gained over 400,000 likes, including one from socialite Paris Hilton.
