I am not a fan, but as someone who sings I will say it is near to impossible to sing in a situation like that if you cannot hear yourself through the monitor. A soundcheck is crucial and the sound people really messed up if she could not hear herself.

Well, she is know for screwing up lip syncing, and she did have a practice earlier (not sure if it included a sound check, but a professional would have demanded one, I'm assuming). She is such a diva, a crew was hired to make sure she was there on time!
As my youngest daughter said, 2016 claimed its last victim: Mariah Carey!

I actually thought she handled it really well. It's better than trying to sing and being off. Good for her for not thinking could compete with not being able to hear herself sing.

Sounds like Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were entertaining too.. We just got done with our movies it's just a 1/2 hr to midnight here. We don't usually watch the ball drop stuff till the very end.

What's the story with Nicole and keith?
In terms of Mariah, that was just horrible!! You can't tell me she couldn't have tried to sing? It actually looked like she couldn't even remember the words to her songs!! maybe she doesn't? and it's always duped for her? It was a cluster. She was stumbling around on stage at the ball drop, then left.

If she was lip syncing why would she have to hear herself? I truly don't understand. If she was lip syncing all she had to do was memorize the words and stay with it, it isn't like these are new songs for her or she isn't used to preforming in front of massive crowds. If she was actually singing live and there was technical difficulties that would be different, but for lip syncing she should have been able to pull that off better,

If ever ther was a performance to symbolically encapsulate 2016, it was Mariah Carey imploding onstage in Times Square.

I just watched it, looks like she was supposed to sing emotion but lip sync we belong together. In guessing she couldn't hear emotion and kind of just gave up. Her backup dancers are real professionals. In bummed because I thick she can really sing, sucks it didn't come together.

Oh holy hell that was NOT technical errors.. She has sang that dang song for over 20 years. She should be able to sing that in her sleep.. or lip sync in her sleep, whatever. She was all over that stage not knowing which way to turn.. it was horrible. To much Colorado Candy? Or too many drinks.. but that was a shit show from beginning to end.

Which gig will be part of her attempt at career revival- singing on 20 Jan or DWTS?  |

Still too revealing for my tast, but better than the body suit! She probably felt she had to compete with JLo who also wore a bodysuit on NBC's celebration, too. At least JLo has the body for it, but they both should have worn something else. This is one trend from the '80s that should have stayed in the '80s. One of the NYC newspapers reported that the network rented her an apartment near Times Square because she's notoriously late. And, reportedly, her people didn't know what time the ball dropped. 😳 SaveSave |

I cant stand her...i think shes totally trashyn but....
Remember that the TV sound feed isn't an "open air" mic. It's wired in with the crowd noise layer over it. She can't hear the music as clearly as we can. You can see her try to pick it up when that high note cuts through the crowd noise, but she can't hear enough to find the tempo.

Well Lionel Richie was a bit off too. But hey he is no spring chicken anymore. And he damn well had fun and so did the people there. I missed Mariah we got home from dinner at 12:55 and watched the ball drop and went to bed. Lionel was in while the dog wound down again so he's all I saw.

That was BAD. How could diva Mariah Carey not have demanded a sound check? Someone is getting fired today

When I was watching whatever the hell she was doing last night, all I could think of was that it would definitely be a thread here. It was quite embarrassing. Then at the end of the night after midnight when they were winding it down, one minute she was on stage with everyone, then she was gone. Buh-bye Mariah!

I gather they played the backing track, not own track so although she knew her words they didn't fit with what was playing...or so I hear. Heads are gonna roll.... |
