NEW YORK (AP) ? Mariah Carey made her return to the stage since giving birth to twins in diva-like form: She changed her shoes after singing two songs and touched up her hair and makeup, all in front of an eager audience.
Carey, who gave birth to twins via C-section in April, performed for a few hundred people Thursday night at New York's Gotham Hall.
Of her return she said, "I didn't realize this was a big deal."
The concert was one of four shows Thursday called "Plot Your Escape: Four Concerts. Countless Celebrities. 1 Epic Night," by Caesars Entertainment.
Diddy joined Carey in New York, while Lil Wayne and Cee Lo performed in Los Angeles, Maroon 5 and Sara Bareilles in Chicago, and Mary J. Blige and Gavin DeGraw in New Orleans.
The Grammy winner sang a number of her hits during her short performance, from "Hero" to "We Belong Together" to the Jackson 5 cover "I'll Be There."
The shows happened simultaneously and were streamed online.
"We can't do anything without it being documented," Carey told the audience. "Doesn't it freak you out at all?"
Carey said if her son Moroccan was onstage, he would probably beat-box, and that her daughter Monroe would be a diva.
The multiplatinum performer thanked her fans and joked: "Catch me at my real show next time."
