Someone Is Trying To Make Me Look Like a Fool - Mariah Carey

Twitter may have melted down over Mariah Carey’s disastrous performance just before the ball dropped on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, but the Grammy winner blew it off in a tweet.

“S–t happens,” the “Hero” singer, 46, tweeted in the early hours of Sunday, January 1, along with a gif of her shaking her head. “Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here’s to making more headlines in 2017.”

What really happened?

The trouble began almost as soon as the superstar took to the stage singing “Auld Lang Syne” in
Times Square. It was quickly evident that her backing track didn’t match up with what she was singing.

Wearing a sequined bodysuit and surrounded by dancers holding feathers, she then launched into “Emotion” but appeared to not be able to hear the track.

After singing a couple of words she told her dancers to walk her down the steps to the front of the stage. “Well, Happy New Year,” she told the audience as she appeared to reach for her earpiece. “We can’t hear but I’ll just get through ‘Emotion.'” A moment later she appeared to give up, saying, “All right, we didn’t have a check for this song, so we’ll just say it went to number one.”

Sources tell Naughty Gossip that:

“Mariah thinks she was SABOTAGED and wants to know who did this. Mariah is fighting back. This has never happened to her before and she wants to get to the bottom of it. She thinks that it is clear someone is trying to make her look like a fool. She is also suspicious that while this was going on Jennifer Lopez was performing on NBC without any problems.”
