Mariah Carey’s NYE performance was very bad but we can’t stop watching

Mariah Carey ushered in the new year in New York with a spectacularly terrible live performance.

Broadcast to millions on live TV, the 46-year-old appeared to have a few technical difficulties during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, which went out on the ABC Network. At one point, she even gave up on singing her song Emotions, instead telling the audience to finish the lyrics for her while she awkwardly paced the stage. This bit was perhaps the most talked about part of the performance... https://twitter.com/alostrich/status/815419456956563456 Although  we particularly enjoy this bit, where she makes virtually no attempt to cover up the fact she's lip syncing... https://twitter.com/jimmytraina/status/815419279352987648 As is often the case with this sort of thing, those that were tweeting about it were far from kind: https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/815468251421573120 https://twitter.com/Ambergeckle/status/815460469385334785 https://twitter.com/TheMelliz/status/815468105803534336 https://twitter.com/EvaDeMuro/status/815458601754128385 https://twitter.com/JoshKrispy/status/815419275355754497 Although Carey will undoubtedly have been embarrassed by her performance, the tweet she sent out afterwards didn't show it too much. https://twitter.com/MariahCarey/status/815452528238358529 Shit happens indeed.
