Mariah Carey

Did anyone see her on Dick Clarks Rocking New Years Eve? What a mess. Her track for her well known popular song Emotions didn't work. So instead of her just singing it. She told the audience to sing it and just walked around the stage and didn't really try to make it work. I'm really shocked ABC didn't pull away and switch to something else.

Is that what happened? DH and I couldn't figure out what was going on, just that it was a hot mess.

 

[Poohlove]

I saw that, it was really strange to see.

OMG..... We happened to switch the channel from Carson Daly over to Ryan and we saw that, it was perfect timing too.
She was a hot mess, was she drunk? I noticed at midnight when all the other celebrities were on stage she was no where in sight.
She looked completely lost, she must have went nutso backstage afterward.

....is a hot mess

Can't comment on her particular actions since I didn't see it but assuming she was outside.

Most singers will not sing when its cold. They say it can damage their voice.

If it was not outside I think she is the kind of person that just doesn't start singing if she isn't prepared to do so. On Carpool Karaoke with James Corden she barley opened her mouth. I think its part of her Diva image.

OK - I was almost scared to open this thread because I assumed it was another "...celebrity has died" report.

 

[StitchesGr8Fan]

We saw it. It was so awkward! When they did get the track for her next song, they forgot to turn off her mic so you could hear her "singing" with the track. You could tell she was livid when she walked off the stage! Someone is getting fired for that.

Well, not exactly. It's possible to have outdoor heaters, other work arounds so they aren't overly cold. Professional singers use care, they don't routinely "not sing."
But....it's pretty clear this was lip-synching gone bad. That's not a cold issue.

If it was a matter of cold temperature, she shouldn't accept an invitation for a outside performance in New York in December.

 

[FINFAN]

oh yeah..she was NOT happy! Just Google it if you missed it.

I caught some comments yesterday morning on TV about how large a staff they had to make sure she actually made it to the ball drop on time. Sounds like she's a problem waiting to happen.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

I'm not sure why anyone puts up with her crap anymore.

She's ratings gold.
I always tune in when I know she'll be fumbling around on stage.

 

[lorimay]

Yes, it was freezing cold and she was in a gold leotard......... LOL

I was about to say I wondered if she brought in the viewers initially because of her music, but now because everyone wants to see what issues she'll bring onstage with her.

People are hoping for a train wreck?

 

[dclpluto]

Seen it on you tube. I was at Epcot a long time ago for a Christmas show taping of a few different singers. Don't ask me the names i forget now. But it took them a lot of tries to get a good song out. They will start to sing than they will just stop because something didn't go right. Probably about a average of three tries for song to get it right. They are only human

 

[antmaril]

She was a hot mess. And, she is ALWAYS, ALWAYS the worst dressed person in the room. I am not a fan.

 

[Kellykins1218]

Between her squeezed into that sausage casing and not knowing the words to her own song, it made for a hilarious show.
