ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Makes perfect sense to me Mariah is not the kind of person to just phone it in. Even when she does need to lip sync, she tries her damn best to pull it off flawlessly. You can hear her frustration in her voice when she's saying "We can't hear anything" and "Well, Im just gonna make the best of it (or whatever, I can't hear exactly), happy new years" and then "Well, they played the album version". I have no doubt that she intended on singing 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariah's performance wasn't televised here for two hours after it occurred. 1 minute ago, InsideOutright said: The whistle notes on Emotions would have been lipped. You could hear them in the track, sometimes with Mariah talking over them. I still don't think they were loud enough in comparison to her opening; I know whistles won't be as loud as notes in chest or head voice, but they still didn't seem loud enough. Mariah herself even attempted a whistle at one point. Even then, her whistles likely led to her nodules so I'd give the girl break considering it was recorded during her prime and the original spans four octaves. Even Celine and Bey lip certain notes, especially during touring. The Unbannable Chanteuse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCgaga 4,324 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Yeah, I think I'm on Mariah's side for this one. Replays equal ratings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that she intended on singing Exactly. I don't doubt she intended on lipping certain parts but I think she undoubtedly intended on singing a large majority of it live. Mariah has been excited and hyped for this performance for the days leading up to it, it doesn't make sense to me that she'd be involved in the disaster we received.

Stephen 30,431 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 This is clearly damage control. She was going to lip sync and they played the track without the vocals, giving her nothing to lip to. Let's just say this "sabotage" BS is real for a second. This part gives it away: "the crowd was so loud in Times Square she could hear nothing." Utter bullshit The dancers could hear the music perfectly to hit every single one of their cues. Mariah heard the music, she continued attempting to lip sync at some points, but continued to mess up. Just tragic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as far as I know It's not about being able to listen to the music, it's about being able to listen to her own voice. Try singing Emotions in a high volume without listening to a word that you are singing and tell me if you are able to say something without sounding like a dying cow. And dancers don't need the music to follow the choreography. feeling so hot tamale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah X 5,250 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Doesn't matter that her earpiece wasn't working..she went into the performance with a prerecorded track with intentions to lip sync from the start. She got caught and screwed. No sympathy from me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd song was the one that really screwed her over and thats because there was no vocal for her to lip to, point blank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used the CD version of We Belong Together (3rd song ) it was not planned, she says it during the performance. She always sings We Belong Together live. And yes, she lipped the first one. But if you want to attack her for lipsync attack Beyoncé, Ariana, Celine, Madonna, among others, because it's unfair that she is the only one that recieves criticism for it while many others do the exact same thing. feeling so hot tamale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She never claimed she didn't do poorly? Mariah is an intelligent woman and she's aware of how she did, she's saying this was not at all how it was intended to go and it wasn't at the fault of her or her team.

sipthistea 21,099 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 She was just weird onstage. She tried to sing to the track a couple times but then she stopped. I don't know but she just seemed too lazy to even rescue her own performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
