mc-idol-finale

“American Idol” ended its 12th season on a high note. In addition to crowning a winner, judge Mariah Carey performed a medley of her biggest hits spanning over the past two decades. The performance was taped last night and aired during Thursday’s finale.

Wearing a white mermaid gown, the pop diva belted out song after song. She started with her 1990 debut single “Vision of Love” before moving into “Make It Happen,” “Hero,” “My All,” and “We Belong Together,” ending with her latest, “#Beautiful,” which debuted at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. Her duet partner Miguel was absent, but she was joined by fellow judge Randy Jackson on bass.
