American Music Awards: Mariah Wins Best Female R&B!
The crowd gave Mariah a long standing ovation!
Mariah:"Thank you so much! I just have to take a second and just... first of all, thank you so much for the warmth and the love. You have no idea. I have to thank Larry Klein because I was literally, you saw me run across the stage if you were sitting here, my dress was not sewn on, my ear monitors, that thing, not hooked up. So if anybody saw me pulling out things out of my ear, that was me like I gotta do some freestyling, do what I gotta do. So basically, thank you to the audience and if it wasn't right, I tried, I did the best I could. But thank you God. The only reason I am here is because of the grace of God and if you believe you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Thank you so much! Thank you L.A. Reid, I love you from my heart and soul. Thank you Doug Morris! Thank you Mark Sudack! Thank you Benny Medina! Thank you everybody I'm forgetting. Thank you Tat-Tat, I love you! Jermaine Dupri!!! I love you!!! Thank you!"
Mariah opened the show with a beautiful performance of "Don't Forget About Us". The crowd gave Mariah a long standing ovation! During the performance, Mariah had some technical difficulties, and at the end she thanked the crowd and said "We made it!"
