The holiday season wrapped up with a bang, or should we say a cringe, as Mariah Carey took the stage for a New Year’s Eve concert in Times Square. What ensued was a lip-sync misadventure that perfectly encapsulated the chaos of 2016. Honestly, if this year were a live performance, it would definitely resemble Mariah’s show last night.
It all started off somewhat smoothly, as Mariah kicked things off with a pre-recorded version of “Auld Lang Syne.” Sure, she wasn’t singing live, but it was at least tolerable. Then, the disaster unfolded.
As the familiar notes of “Emotions” blared through the speakers, Mariah appeared visibly puzzled. She could be heard expressing her difficulties with the sound, and according to reports, she claimed her vocal track was missing. The performance turned into a series of stumbles as she muddled through “Emotions” and “We Belong Together,” declaring, “I’m trying to be a good sport here.” It seemed like she was hinting at the sound technician who probably just secured a one-way ticket to joblessness on the very first day of 2017.
Naturally, Twitter erupted, poking fun at Mariah for her struggles, but the prevailing sentiment was that her performance was an apt conclusion to a year riddled with absurdity. As we watched the spectacle unfold, we couldn’t help but feel it mirrored our own experiences throughout the past year—dazed, bewildered, and ultimately resigned to just letting it all go. 2016 was a total mess, and Mariah’s performance was simply in line with the theme.
In the end, Mariah herself summed it up best. You do you, girl. Here’s hoping that 2017 brings a little more grace and kindness to all of us.
