Special serenade: Mariah Carey shared her support of essential workers on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic with a moving performance of her 1993 number-one single Hero

‘In a time like this, we set aside our differences and come together for fellowship and hope. We come together to lift each other up during this time of uncertainty, no matter what our views, no matter what our beliefs, no matter what our differences are,’ she reflected, before jumping into song.

She added: ‘I want to take this time to acknowledge and honor the sacrifices of those who work everyday taking care of their communities.’

Before her longtime musical director Daniel Moore joined her to virtually play the piano, she sweetly called frontline workers, ‘the heroes who are making our daily lives possible.’

Trying times: Before her special performance, the five-time Grammy winner introduced her YouTube video by admitting she was just doing her best, without the ability to come together

‘We find ourselves in a unique time in history where we can’t celebrate together in person, and I’m grateful that so many of us are staying home and staying safe,’ the 50-year-old hitmaker said, while virtually joined by longtime musical director Daniel Moore

Looking good: As she performed, Carey wore a magenta cardigan and sat in front of framed photos of twins eight-year-old twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon

As she belted out her tribute, Carey wore a magenta cardigan and sat in front of framed baby pictures of her eight-year-old twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon.

In additional to proving her status as a vocal powerhouse, the beauty radiated youth, as she wore her hair in long waves and flaunted her flawless complexion.

In addition to sharing her serenade on her personal channels, the singer’s song was also included in Joel Osteen’s virtual Easter Sunday service with a very similar video.

Reflecting: In addition to Carey, Tyler Perry also appeared on the virtual Easter concert, after Kanye West dropped out of his scheduled spot

In addition to Carey, Tyler Perry also appeared on the virtual Easter concert.

‘I feel like this is a moment in our country and our world as a reset, for all of us to realize how much we take for granted,’ Perry said in a pre-recorded video, while sending his prayers and condolences to anyone suffering.

The pair’s appearances come after Kanye West dropped out of his scheduled spot, despite planning on having his choir wear masks and adhere to social distancing guidelines during a recorded performance.

‘I feel like this is a moment in our country and our world as a reset, for all of us to realize how much we take for granted,’ Perry said in a pre-recorded video, while sending his prayers and condolences to anyone suffering
