Mariah Carey is known as one of the best singers and performers in the music industry, but this New Years was not very good to her. She hopped on stage at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rock’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest and things got ugly.
Mariah attempted to sing three songs on the show, starting with “Auld Lang Syne” before moving on to “Emotion” and “We Belong Together.” The issues began with that second song where she says she couldn’t hear anything. In front of a huge ABC audience, Mariah was forced to lip sync.
You can see the video of what all went down here. Reps from both sides are defending themselves saying their party was not responsible for what happened. Mariah’s camp says she took the gig very seriously, while the other side of things says that she tried to wing it.
