[/FONT][FONT=&]Not only did she not ditch rehearsal, we got to Times Square at 2:30 (p.m.) (and) they weren’t ready for her until 3:20 (p.m.), ” Stella writes. “We waited around for their stage manager. We had the stage from 3:20 to 3:50. She (Mariah) had a dance stand-in for the musical number.
She sat on the side of the stage with her ear-pack and her in-ears (monitors) and her microphone to make sure she could do the soundcheck. The most important thing to her was the sound.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]“The sound was coming in choppy. She was assured it would work by the evening.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Then things start to get chaotic,” the manager adds. “They start counting her down – four minutes, three minutes.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]“Mariah: ‘I can’t hear’. Them: ‘You’re gonna hear when it goes live – two minutes!’ So, right when it goes live, she can’t hear anything. The ears are dead… So she pulls them out of the ear because if the artist keeps them in their ears then all she hears is silence.
Once she pulled them off her ear she was hoping to hear her music, but because of the circumstances… all she hears is chaos. She can’t hear her music. It’s a madhouse. At the point, there’s no way to recover.”
............called TV boss Mark Shimmel to find out what had gone wrong after the show and he confirmed her in-ear monitors didn’t work, asking, “Couldn’t she just wing it?” “I’m like, ‘What? Are you talking about winging it? Are you on glue?'” the manager says.
"They then changed the battery pack, and they were still not working on the frequency four minutes before the show. We let them know again, and they just kept counting her down and reassuring her that they will work as soon as they go live, which never happened."
...............DCP claims that it was Carey who insisted on skipping the soundcheck. While Carey's representatives insist that the Times Square crowd made it impossible for Carey to hear the backing track, DCP claims that there was more than enough sound for Carey to hear the music.
[/FONT]..........explaining that every artist sings to tracks, especially in circumstances when the show can be loud and noisy.
"Every artist who goes out there sings to tracks. What Mariah was doing was singing to tracks," said Stella. "What you heard on the second song, “Emotions,” was her going to sing it live. That’s why you heard no vocals. It’s a song she sings every other day."

.........most likely error was an in-ear monitor set to the wrong frequency, in which case, the blame would instead lie with Carey's tech operators .............
