Surely you witnessed Mariah Carey's botched performance during Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve with Ryan Seacrest on Saturday night/Sunday morning?
At least it wasn't as bad as Ashlee Simpson's "SNL" mess. Carey had the decency not to do an awkward jig as she side-stepped offstage.
The long and short of Saturday night's performance was that the audio failed, forcing Carey to take out her ear piece and walk around in her bedazzled one piece rather than sing (or even lip sync).
Carey kicked things off with "Auld Lang Syne," but it was clear that her lips were out of step with the track.
When "Emotions" came on, Carey got candid with the audience. "Well, Happy New Year! We can't hear, but I'll just get through the moment, OK," she said.
It was awkward and uncomfortable, but Carey remained on stage like a professional until her set wrapped.
