I can't believe I'm defending Mariah, but the noise level downtown NYC during New Years is crazy, multiple TV networks are broadcasting live music and the audience is very loud. They didn't let her do a sound check and she wasn't getting the music in her ear. The sound of the audience was louder than the music which is why she didn't perform, plus they didn't turn the music off like this Gaga video.

It was live tv, it's not like they could have rerecorded, yes it was awkward but it's not like she could have performed better given what happened.

Not hearing the music isn't a valid reason. The music is well heard. The crowd seemed to have heard it. :lolly: Poor thing just got embarrased and didn't even try.

Lace up my boots, throw on some leather and cruise.

there is a difference between being in a club venue with 300 people vs having thousands of people screaming over the sound of the music and your in-ear monitors not working as well as the wrong track playing in the first place..

never heard a mariah track in full in my life but come on lol

Yes, it is a valid reason. No, the music wasn't well heard on Mariah's end. It is INCREDIBLY difficult to hear yourself over crowds and due to the technical set ups. Mariah is known as a VOCALIST, meaning her vocals matter. After a botched, unwell received performance years earlier, I'd want to make sure my vocals were top notch as well, but that's kind of impossible when you can't hear yourself. If Mariah couldn't hear herself through her earpiece it's very likely she would've sung either very sharp or flat and missed cues which ultimately leads to dreadful performance that would've been held against her for god knows how long.

You literally can't hear the music well if you are on stage, the crowd here's it because it's designed for the audience. That's why they feed the music through earphones and stage monitors.

 

From reddit

"That really looks like a huge technical failure, and it looks like the music wasn't being fed back to her. You'll note that speakers point away from the stage, and that's the direction the sound is going. As a result of that it ends up sounding pretty off when you're on stage, unless you've got good foldbacks or in ear monitors. She says openly that her monitor isn't working, so she can't hear what's being played very clearly at all. Instead she can hear dancers bouncing about, the crowd yelling, and the hints of a song. If she starts singing openly, she'll hear only her singing.

She's in a lose-lose situation as a result. She has two choices:

1) Perform the song with no real point of reference. She's pretty much guaranteed to make a balls up of it as a result of that, and everyone will be saying she can't sing for **** and will be ridiculed for the performance.

2) Bring attention to the fact that there's a technical **** up, and everyone will say that she can't sing for **** and will be ridiculed for the performance.

She picked option two. I'm not sure there was any other choice, really."

This thread is useless and proves nothing, especially after the video a user posted of Gaga walking off stage. There's also other threads discussing Mariah's performance, this didn't need it's own separate thread. Keep it as a status :awkney:.
