[Reckheim]

Everything pop is fake, lol.

100% ... and that's why I don't feel bad at all at laughing at this shit. It was beautiful.

 

[WorldStar]

This confirms Mariah will never come even close to Ariana's greatness

 

[BoosterDuck]

guys stop laughing

this is obviously a sign of what we can expect in 2017

buckle up

 

[Volimar]

Fifth Harmony? All of em?

 

[Baroquemantic]

Oh yeah, the full video is worse. And even more funny.

 

[Darksol]

Reminds me of Tim Minchin taking a shot at her. He said, "if you're gonna lip sync, why would you do a Mariah Carey song? You can do anything. You could do something good."

 

[Madness]

popgaf just got bodied.

Yasssssss queen slayyyyyyy

 

[Kayhan]

oh nooooooo

 

[Reckheim]

this is obviously a sign of what we can expect in 2017

If 2017 is anything like this performance I feel like I'll have a good time.

 

[Xe4]

Nah, I choose to believe this is just the rest of 2016 saying fuck you.

Spoiler

You're probably right.

 

[metalslimer]

Wtf she is an amazing singer. She couldn't belt out a few lines? Mess

 

[Dr.Acula]

So the Dick Clark Memorial Rockin' Eve went to Lionel after midnight live in Vegas, and wow, he really looked and sounded great.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Yasssssss queen slayyyyyyy

Tbh, Touchdown was the only person in PopGAF who liked Mariah anyway.

The rest of us realize she should have retired about ten years ago.

 

[N° 2048]

Her pipes are gone, I don't think she can pull it off anymore.

 

[BFIB]

Leave it to the millennial pop stars to purposely fuck up for attention Mariah. They do it way better.

 

[nephilimdj]

Full video is amazing, refuses to sing without full audio track, then refuses to even try to mime properly

 

[Mesousa]

Fifth Harmony? All of em?

Nah bruh.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

The perfect performance for 2016.

 

[Miracle]

Damn she still looks good.

At least she's got that going for her. Especially that outfit.

Her and Fergie especially.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Her mic was working, couldn't she just....... sing the damn song?

 

[metalslimer]

Here pipes are gone, I don't think she can pull it off anymore.

Oh that's sad then. I imagine she can at least still sing pretty well though. She was either too drunk or too embarrassed to try

 

[ElRenoRaven]

What? Sing? Does she look like some sort of singer to you? lol

 

[Shadow Broker]

https://youtu.be/q9Q2i_9PHU0

Damn.. she's still nice to look at..

 

[LakeEarth]

Where's Fergie?

Doing awkward transitions where she acts like an alien trying to figure out how to act human and failing miserably.

 

[Teggy]

I thought 5th Harmony just became a 4th?

 

[Wandering Robot]

She didn't even try. Yikes.

 

[DudeWithNoName]

You just know Lionel was watching Mariah shit the stage. And knew he'd kill it out there by [gasp] actually singing.

 

[capitalCORN]

She didn't even try. Yikes.

She wants a vacation, man.

 

[ColdPizza]

Oh that's sad then. I imagine she can at least still sing pretty well though. She was either too drunk or too embarrassed to try

Cold weather doesn't help either.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

This tweet is a perfect example of how bad it was.

For serious, not if her monitor wasn't working. She couldn't hear herself. I think that's why she left her earpiece out at the end.

Which also makes sense that her second song sounded ok since she was going to lip sync to it anyway.

This whole thing was a peek a little too far behind the curtain.

She wasn't going to sing her whisper register since those are piped in
She was only going to sing the first song
She can disappear

 

[Mammoth Jones]

How much did she get paid for this?

full video is here

Holy shit!

Huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue

I would be mortified.

That was the funniest thing though. The dancers keep going while she's has no idea what the fuck she's doing.

I mean. They can't do anything. Everything is already blocked out. That performance has to go on whether she likes it or not. Whether they have her vocal track in or not. Whether she can hear herself or not. Whether she can sing or not.

 

[Androidsleeps]

Holy shit please unban that Mariah stan, I bet he's having a great new years eve

 

[Linkura]

Fifth Harmony? All of em?

They prerecorded their performance because they are smart. Unlike Mariah.

 

[royalan]

For those who need a palette cleanser and much needed reminder that some of the greatest pop vocals of all time belong to Miss Mariah "Don't Know Ha" Carey...

21 year old Mariah belting the ever-loving shit out of "If It's Over (My Career)" at the Grammys.

Probably one of the greatest Grammy performances of all time.

Spoiler

That said...Lawd hammercy sweet baby Jesus honey boo-boo kitty CHILD this was a MESS. Deadass. Gurl...

The second song was just them playing her song in speaker, you could still hear her voice attempting to say random words

 

[3rdman]

On second viewing it appears that her earpiece had fallen out and she never got it working

 

[Concept17]

Eminem be like "lol".

 

[Teggy]

But who was the 5th? Or was this days ago, you mean.

when 2016 decides to be petty one final time before going away lmao

 

[SDBurton]

Family is looking at me crazy due to how hard I'm laughing right now. Hoooooly shit.

 

[Linkura]

But who was the 5th? Or was this days ago, you mean.

They prerecorded it before she left the group. So we're talking over 2 weeks ago.

 

[zeemumu]

Eminem be like "lol".

But she kept on forgetting what she wrote down.

The whole crowd goes so loud.

She opens her mouth but the words won't come out.

She's chokin' how! Everybody's jokin' now!

The clock's run out, time's up, over, BLAOW!

 

[sixteen-bit]

lmao what a blowup

 

[MIMIC]

For those wondering, here's what the song's SUPPOSED to sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrJEFrth27Q

The song is probably one of the toughest songs for ANYONE to sing, so to lose your vocal track on this....well, we saw what happened.

I love Mariah, but this was just embarrassing and unacceptable.

 

[lenovox1]

"Emotions" is one of the most difficult songs in the world to sing. Which is why she had the track pre-recorded.

If she couldn't hear herself, there was no point to attempt those pitches.
