Carey was feeling a bit of fear prior to her inauguration performance, Fox news reported.

"Everyone was calming her down, telling her she would be great," according to a source.

The "Always Be My Baby" singer donned a gorgeous black velvet floor-length gown and sang into a diamante-encrusted microphone at the Neighborhood ball, the first of ten balls the Obama's attended.

Carey sang her platinum-selling hit "Hero"

"I wrote this song to inspire people that anything is possible. Tonight I think we all believe that a whole lot more," Mariah said.

"This is for everyone out there with a dream, and of course, I have to dedicate it to our new president," she added.
