Live Performances
"Migrate" was performed on two televised appearances during her stateside promotion of E=MC². Only days prior to being released digitally, Carey was announced as the musical guest on an episode of Saturday Night Live, taking over for Janet Jackson who caught the flu and was unable to perform. Hosted by Jonah Hill, Carey performed both "Touch My Body", as well as live rendition of "Migrate" alongside T-Pain. Following the set, Carey and her manager at the time, Benny Medina, met with Lee Daniels, who then offered Carey a role in his film adaptation of Precious (2008), in which Carey would later star and earn acclaim for her acting. Similarly, Carey reprised the performance on the BET special, titled "The Blueprint: The Relativity of Mariah Carey", in which she sang "Migrate", "Touch My Body", "Love Story" from E=MC², and "We Belong Together" from her previous album, The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). On December 31, 2009, Carey opened her Angels Advocate Tour at Madison Square Garden, performing "Migrate" as the thirteenth number on the set-list. During the recital, several male dancers, dressed in white suits, performed intricate routines around Carey, as she celebrated the countdown to the new year with the song.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performances:
“We try to go back. You know I’ll probably die just a few miles from where I drew my first breath. That would have seemed like a horrible prospect to me, back when I was young and ambitious and gonna set the world on fire. But there’s comfort in knowing you’re gonna go full circle, end up where you started out. I’ve said before that I want to live my last days where folks know when you’re sick and care when you die.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
