Oh my god.

Poor thing

But some of the comments under the article, sadly I have to admit were really quite funny

I do not know understand why she just did not roll and do the lead vocal. In gay clubs our divas come to the bars with backing tracks , without the lead and sing live with the track (not a band)

Don't particularly like her she sounds like she is trying to pierce your ear drums but can obviously sing.

What could have been going on in her mind? Her vanity- had to sound perfect or I will just stand up here in front of the whole world and get caught lip synching, but when there are audio issues your choice was to do this?

If she would have just gone for it, there might be some speculating after but my goodness - she is supposedly a pro. She could have turned into something funny - cut the track and do acapella She if formally trained.

All she had to do is the lead, the dancers kept going, the music was there, the background track is there - it can't be like she does not know the track !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Can anyone understand what she says around 59 secs??

In the beginning Speculating as in the article ) she did not look stable on her feet ?



Poor thing:

She looked stoned or drunk. The one dancer was literally moving her around the stage, trying to get her to perform.

Agree! I sure thought she was either drunk or otherwise impaired.

I am not a MC fan at all. Never have been. But this? This was the worst ever!

This is her, earlier in the day (from her tweet):

About an hour before the "performance", she was holding herself up (from her tweet)

Then, she passes off what she did with this tweet (gah!):

Mariah is a great singer no doubt but I do not like her personality one bit she truly believes her own hype and only cares about herself.
 
She is super smarmy.
Guess she won't be doing shows like this for a while
 
Surely she won't get paid for this disaster of a performance? I wonder if it will affect her future bookings.

I was wondering the same thing Greg. I just assumed she would earn her usual exhorbitant fee appearance but I have no idea really. If she was paid anything it was too much.

She is probably gonna try to blame it on the sound folks. What she should do is donate any monies to charity --maybe an organization that help the deaf!!
 
She is late all the time, she always has an excuse.

She obviously is not surrounding herself with people that know much. Her people called the producers to ask what time the ball comes down !

Yes I shall repeat What time the ball comes down!
 
Like the saying goes, if you want me to tell you what kind of person you are, introduce me to your friends.
 
Like I said never followed her -- last post got my curiosity up. She basically came out and lied about being late!!

If Simone from American Idol heard this he would not have passed her on! Boy does that sound awful live!!!!!!!!!!!!

Understand why she lips sync now just awful

During the "performance" (ahem), she actually said this is what happens when you don't do a sound check beforehand.
 
Yes, it was a disaster on stage, but she had the opportunity to do SOMETHING with it, to make it memorable and fun for the audience. Not take it out on the sound guys, not blame anyone else, but pull out the "show must go on" attitude that all stage performers should have in abundance. Audiences WANT to like the show and will usually root for you if you do something to turn around a disaster. Honestly, this could've been a great moment for her.....but she stormed off instead. Nobody likes that.

Her back-up dancers definitely know how to handle themselves on stage when things go wrong. They kept dancing!

Good-bye 2016. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
