Mariah Carey Serves Embarrassing Lip-Sync Mess in Jamaica [Must-Watch]
O to the M-G. This has to be one of Mariah Carey’s most embarrassing performances of her LIFE; if not the most embarrassing.
The pop diva was the headliner at the Jazz and Blues festival taking in place in Jamaica on Friday night, January 30th. She was most definitely paid a large amount of money for this concert and tickets surely were highly-priced too. And what did ‘jazz and blues’ fans get? A lip-synched MESS. Had I been one of the concert-goers I would have demanded a refund!
Watch Mariah’s hideous lipped performance of her hit “Fantasy” below and be prepared to CRINGE:
It was all chaos. Mariah used playback for the majority of her Jamaican show (why?) but it was only in the “Fantasy” performance where something went really wrong. Did she miss her cue? Was she unable to hear the playback correctly? Couldn’t she handle the high humidity and temperature of the area? I don’t know what happened but this was an embarrassing mess. I had not felt this embarrassed for someone else ever since Ashlee Simpson’s tragic SNL performance.
She obviously knew she was going to lip-sync that night and was "ready" for it but as Murphy’s Law states: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Mariah had the ultimate bad luck. What any artist that knows he or she is going to lip-sync fears could happen. For your playback to do you wrong.
I’m just DEAD at Mariah not stopping this mess and re-starting but pushing forward and even miming the out of sync high-notes doing her signature ear touching!!!
