2017 has not begun well for Global megastar Mariah Carey – singer of that Christmas song you’re glad you won’t have to hear for another year, just because her New Year’s Eve performance was, unfortunately, a technical mess.
The singer struggled through her Times Square appearance that was aired on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” on ABC.
She appears exasperated by the technical difficulties where she was the headline act at the event, where about a million revelers were ushering in 2017.

Entering via a tunnel of feathers, she belted out NY classic “Auld Lang Syne,” yet something was clearly wrong from the beginning: her lips weren’t quite in sync with the vocals.
Moving into the song “Emotions,” Carey addressed the problem, saying “Well, happy New Year! We can’t hear, but I’ll just get through the moment, okay.”
Unfortunately, though, things did not get sorted, with the singer failing to sing the majority of the song, revealing there was no sound check beforehand, finishing the song by sarcastically saying: That was, “Amazing.”
Taking on the ballad “We Belong Together,” Carey was visibly struggling to stay in sync with the pre-recorded vocals, finishing by telling the audience “It just don’t get any better,” and walking off stage.
Carey used the social media platform to brush off the performance, writing alongside a GIF of herself: “Shit happens. Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here’s to making more headlines in 2017.” But critics are already saying it’s the end of her career.
Just before Christmas, Carey made headlines by posting a video to her Instagram account showing her and her daughter singing along to “All I Want For Christmas
