Mariah Carey Stumbles Through New Year's Eve Performance

There’s a reason why Mariah Carey had the most talked about New Year’s Eve performance on social media. Almost immediately after taking the stage for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve Saturday (Dec. 31), Carey’s set began to crumble in front of everyone’s eyes.

After a slightly awkward moment between Mimi and her dancers, technical difficulties officially lampooned the show.

Carey apparently couldn’t hear the music as she went into “Emotions,” and her attempt at discrete lip-synching backfired during, “We Belong Together.”

The 46-year-old singer ended the performance by walking off stage.

Following the nightmarish show, Carey wrote on Instagram, “Sh*t happens. Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here’s to making more headlines in 2017.”

Mariah Carey was like that one person in a group project who didn’t do any of the work and now has to present the whole project

I’m choosing to believe Mariah Carey’s performance was an artistic reinterpretation of the 2016 Presidential election.
