Summation
The kind of talent Mariah Carey possesses is a gift from God. Sadly, she is tawdry in the contemptuous way she treats her gift. Her expletive substitute for an apology compounds the absence of humility. The New York Times describes her New Year’s Eve performance as a “train wreck.” 2017 got off to a good start if Mariah Carey learns something.

Officially, Mariah Carey’s “performance” was a train wreck. The New York Times is after all the newspaper of record.
“Mariah Carey suffered through a performance train wreck in Times Square on New Year’s Eve as malfunctions left her at a loss vocally during her hit song “Emotions,” struggling to reach notes and to sync the lyrics and music.
“The trouble continued when she gave up on another of her best-known numbers, “We Belong Together,” while a recording of the song continued to play, a confirmation that she had been lip-syncing.”
