Last night, Mariah performed at this year's Samsung AT&T SummerKrush series opener in Hollywood, California, where hundreds of fans, including fifty lucky HBF winners gathered to see a set of five of the best MC songs from her past two albums. Mariah started off the show with a medley of "Touch My Body" and "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time". She was then joined by Young Jeezy for a performance of "Side Effects" (E=MC2). Following those two songs which later aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Mariah entertained the crowd with extra performances of the fan-favorites "I'm That Chick", "Shake It Off" and "We Belong Together".

Jimmy Kimmel then interviewed Mariah who talked about her marriage, the experience of swimming with dolphins in Hawaii for the video of "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" and her new perfume "Luscious Pink". (Watch the interview: Part 1, Part 2.)

d1rty1: Best night of my life. If you watch the Jimmy Kimmel live show, I'm the guy with the "Mariah, Touch My Body" sign. She said "Hi" and waved to me. Then I had 5th row for the concert!

fantasyhero: I have just seen the IBLULT with a snippet of TMB and I thought MC sounded amazing! I love how she sung the song and the high notes sounded good to me. This is really getting me revved up for a tour now.

beejx: SIDE EFFECTS WAS AMAZING!!!! I was also standing front row center at the concert! I think her backup singers are a really good support and they harmonize and go well with Mariah. I thought the whole concert was absolutely amazing! Side Effects is by far my favorite song on the album and she was soo emotional during it!

fabulousmoolah: I've just seen the mashup and OMG MC is freakin amazing!!! Her voice was just soooooo on point, I can't get over it. Obviously performing at night suits her, the crowd looked so fun.

teesh: The concert was unbelievable! Her real fans were freaking the hell out when she came out!! I loved the whole thing. Her outfit was hot. Her voice was on point. I love that she did side effects, and I'm that chick. But when the music for We belong together came on everyone got O.O.C

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Surrounded by thousands of screaming fans, Mariah Carey performed five songs during a brief concert at a Hollywood shopping mall on Thursday.

Portions of the gig at the Hollywood & Highland Center, which featured a guest appearance by rapper Young Jeezy on "Side Effects," were broadcast Thursday on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Other songs performed by the pop diva included a medley of "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time"/"Touch My Body," "I'm That Chick," "Shake It Off" and "We Belong Together."

Most of the tunes were drawn from Carey's newest album, "E=MC2," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in April, and has sold 1.1 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The performance launched the second year of a free summer concert series designed to promote a Samsung cell phone. Other acts scheduled to perform at venues around the country include Gavin Rossdale, LeAnn Rimes, Nelly, Nas, the Smashing Pumpkins and Good Charlotte.

The latest superstar to grace the summertime stage at the Jimmy Kimmel Live show is Mariah Carey, who put on a remarkable performance last night (July 31).

The “Touch My Body” babe donned a sexy black tank top with a black leather skirt, black leggings, and a pair of super-high black heels as she charmed the crowd with a smattering of her hits.

And it sounds like Mariah has already begun the motorcade of generosity towards her new hubby Nick Cannon, with reports that she’s recently purchased a multi-million-dollar love nest in the West Indies.

A source told press, "Mariah's just bought her and Nick an amazing hideaway in the West Indies for them to escape to. She's also eying up another get away in Monte Carlo as she loves chilling out there."
