I work in this industry. This was a MASSIVE technical failure. She had no reference for the music, she was unable to perform properly. It's hard to describe what it sounds like when you are on stage with thousands of people screaming at you, and you cant hear the song that you are supposed to be singing with. Someone is surely fired for this. ALWAYS make sure your artist can hear their mix.

She even says "someone get these monitors on."
Guess everyone is choosing not to hear that part.

They are also choosing to not hear "this isn't the song from mic check".

Also work in live music, can confirm.
It's not about professionalism or talent, if her monitors were down like she says in the video then she can't hear herself or anything at all at an outdoor venue with a ton of additional noise like that. You need to be able to hear in order to sing, even someone as experienced as she is can't pull off singing without hearing themselves. Ever wonder why there aren't any deaf vocalists? There's your reason.

That really looks like a huge technical failure, and it looks like the music wasn't being fed back to her. You'll note that speakers point away from the stage, and that's the direction the sound is going. As a result of that it ends up sounding pretty off when you're on stage, unless you've got good foldbacks or in ear monitors. She says openly that her monitor isn't working, so she can't hear what's being played very clearly at all. Instead she can hear dancers bouncing about, the crowd yelling, and the hints of a song. If she starts singing openly, she'll hear only her singing.
we can understand **** like this happening on your local new year's eve party but def noT on an event of that magnitude. she/her team didn't took care of things like they needed, period.
ATRL being a bunch of excitable twinks once again showed that they have no thinking capability to get them anywhere in life whatsoever. If your monitors are off you don't sing, period. This could happen to anyone and there's nothing you can do except stopping the show dead in its track.
I don't hope something like this happens to you know who but if it does I hope it exposes all your tired, sagging, bleached asses.
This sounds horrible. I suppose she could have asked to have the music stopped and just perform an acoustic rendition of something, but that's the most that could have been done. Seems like a major technical failure. HOWEVER, she needs to fix that piss poor attitude during public events if she wants any sympathy. Most people won't feel bad for her because of the way she handled it.
