Nah, she was just embarrassed and tried the ol' switcheroo. She knows she fucked up. Otherwise, she wouldn't have offered that lame "shit happens" tweet.

Say what you will about Whitney Houston, but she would have croaked out a screechy performance before looking lost on stage.

Some of her fans are pissed I'm checking out the comments on her Facebook page.....

***The difference between a professional and a silly diva.......a professional would have made a joke out of it and gotten the audience on her side, made it all part of the show, kept people laughing and engaged. A diva does what she did......waddles around the stage with her boobs hanging out going wah, wah, wah, poor me, poor me. If she had just gone with it instead of having a fit, people would be saying how great she is. She blew it. She is NOT a professional. She didn't even bother to rehearse her act, just stayed in her hotel room. She's a joke on her way to being a has been. Oh excuse me, her boobs were not hanging out for once.

***Does the term Diva mean tramp? She needs to put her clothes back on and learn to be a professional instead of some glorified Karaoke singer!

***Get over yourself. And in any case. She's had the few past years of inconsistent performances. She has delved too far into her persona of being a diva and lip-syncs most of her performances now. If she no longer wants to do it live then she should no longer have a sustainable career.

Just my 2 cents. Mariah over the years has proven to us that she is THE Song bird of our generation. Yes though she may not have the same stamina as she once had, she still can sing. Everyone knows that all those "Live" performance on Live Broadcasted shows are lip snyced. Those high notes can't be hit when the air is 30 degrees or below outside. She is an entertainer and believed me she entertained us on NYE. AND WE ARE STILL talking about it! Do you remember anyone else's performance from that show? Was there even anyone else? I bet you if she was rolling for the camera's of her show on that night. Everyone will be watching that episode just to see how it was spinned. Plus just what if she was Sabotaged. She ultimately pulled off the greatest "2 tears in a bucket fuck it, take it to the stage!" I love Mariah she entertains me. When she is singing and more so when she isn't. LOL Happy 2017

Mariah is just redifining her brand. She is an entertainer who has been in the game for a long time. All she has to do i reminder you why you can't stop thinking and talking about her.

She will come out with a performance that will have you all gasping for air.

And once again we will have another season of Mariah Carey.

The fact is that New Years Rockin Eve is not a professional show where there are techs all around. I can give her all of that, and when you cannot hear what is going on you are screwed. As i told on this forum the story of a-ha doing "Take On Me" at the LIVE 8 show, the lead singer basically had sounds of another band warming in his monitor. the other members of a-ha had no clue he could not hear, but basically he just ripped out the plugs in his ears and went with it. That is a huge issue with this is that Mariah has no band and almost never sings a straight live vocal anymore it is all pre-recorded. SO her saying "who me soundcheck" was like, even people without a band need to sound check and she honestly probably was late rushed herself up there once the show is running there is no soundcheck I mean other artists had already been playing for 2 hours up there. I don't think she planned on singing live because you can hear her dog note whistles while she is talking about things, so those must have been on another track, just a total washout.

Mariah should be the featured performer on Saturday Night Live and just go with it...That's how you use your Mega-Star Power...I'm sure this helps her Docu-Reality show get picked up for a 2nd season...

Her rep is trying to say that Mariah's performance was "sabotaged" but Dick Clark Productions are disputing that claim:

“As the premier producer of live television events for nearly 50 years, we pride ourselves on our reputation and long-standing relationships with artists. To suggest that dcp, as producer of music shows including the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and Academy of Country Music Awards, would ever intentionally compromise the success of any artist is defamatory, outrageous and frankly absurd. In very rare instances there are of course technical errors that can occur with live television, however, an initial investigation has indicated that dcp had no involvement in the challenges associated with Ms. Carey’s New Year’s Eve performance. We want to be clear that we have the utmost respect for Ms. Carey as an artist and acknowledge her tremendous accomplishments in the industry.”

Mariah's rep says that "allegations she planned to lip sync the performance just added “insult to injury.”

^^I'm laughing at that last sentence because it's very obvious that Mariah clearly intended to lipsynch the entire performance,despite what her rep says.

How do we know she can still sing? She lip syncs everything. And sometimes with her voice she can barely talk.

Yep, you're right. No matter what she says, she did intend to lip sync.

her voice all went into her thighs....

So no one thinks she was drunk.

Awww, I missed it.


So, Mariah going to do one of these a year?

Maybe she's having long term issues. Reminicising about Whitney.

The great Whoopi knows all

Somebody get Rick Rubin to produce an album of 1930s murder ballads for her.

She was great in Precious, i loved her acting.

Mariah isn't "redefining" anything. And a "brand" is a lifeless product not a human being.

Continuing the relaunch MCs topic,I would go back to basics. I've said this a few times before, but dress appropriately, stop the "Mimi" gimmick and funny voices and record a standards/jazz standards/ soul covers record. She's sadly became a patische of herself, the Mariahs World show has done her no favours. Like her or not, at one time she was a huge star, #1 hits for days and could sing the phone book (as they say). MC needs to just be herself and she was great in Precious. Her best acting role by far. Maybe she needs a Lady sings the blues type movie or tell her true story in a book. Being more real is what sells now. The days of the smoke and mirrors mega rockstar is sadly over. I think the industry is sorely lacking the next Prince, MJ, David Bowie et al, but in Mariahs case she needs to strip all the glamor and OTTness away. Not becoming dowdy, but dressing more classy, dropping the darlings and funny accents, alter egos etc. Just sing and be real.

Very good point.Mariah needs to let go of her "I'm so beautiful/Queen Diva" act.It's played out.She prances around on stage in stilleto heels,acting like she's Betty Boop People can't relate to that.People are craving authenticity,and Mariah is as phony as they come.

All I know is I prefer a Shakira concert over a Mariah concert and I don't speak spanish. I like Mariah and everything. Her role in Precious was great but that was a while ago. Something about seeing her on stage just doesn't make it worth it to me.

From what I saw she is most definitely mesmorizing and projects mountains of energy. I was ready to party. I was still hyped driving home.

Hell yeah. She was probably so inebriated she forgot that she was actually doing

a lip sync performance and thought she was singing live.

I joked about paying to see her strip. I was with her on the Mimi album but she started losing me

with subpar albums following Mimi. She's a shell of her former self. Her whole pubescent act has

been stale for over a decade now.

Damn Mariah get yourself together or just say yourself further embarressment t and retire.

I don't believed she is a hasbeen, as she just 46. If some of these 70 year old artists still can perform decent on stage so can she. I think she doesn't care about her singing these days.

Don't she and Lionel suppose to tour together later this year? I bet he is nervous as fuck now.
