Mariah Carey Musicares tribute at the Person of the Year dinner had stars perform honoree’s hits, but many were skipped due to interpolations or samples.
Jermaine Dupri DJed, Teddy Swims sang “Without You,” Jennifer Hudson tackled early hits, Foo Fighters performed two unreleased rock tracks, and songs like “We Belong Together” were omitted.
Notable absences included BoyzIIMen, Randy Jackson, and Carey’s cover of “I’ll Be There”; red‑carpet guests were largely unknown, with Stevie Wonder briefly appearing with Gayle King; Musicares and the Neil Lasher Music Fund at the Caron Institute support musicians’ financial and health needs.
