Was there an attempt from her team to get her off the stage earlier? At one point one of her backup dancers seemed to motion her to get off the stage.
She should have walked off and thrown the mic at somebody’s head — that would have been a great moment. After the show, I called Mark Shimmel — who begged her to do the show and had her cut her vacation short from Aspen. This is a verbatim conversation. I asked, “What happened?” He said, “I just talked to my guys and I confirmed her in-ears didn’t work. Couldn’t she just wing it?” I’m like, “What are you talking about ‘winging it’? Are you on glue?” He’s like, “What do you want me to do?” I said, “I want you to cut the West Coast feed.” He calls me back and says, “We can’t do it.” So I’m like, “You would prefer to air a show with technical glitches so you can have a viral moment rather than protect the integrity of your show and Dick Clark Productions?” He said, “We just won’t do it. Do you want to do a joint statement?” And I said, “No, I want you to go f— yourself.” And that was it. I don’t think it was an unfair ask to ask them to cut [the segment from] the West Coast feed after they had this huge mechanical glitch.

How’s she feeling today about all this?
She’s just ignoring it. She’s got so many more important things to do. And this goes under the heading of “no good deed” because she was doing them a favor. Shimmel’s direct request was, “I’m begging you to do this. America needs this moment after Donald Trump, etc.” What a bunch of nonsense.
I can understand the frustration there if they knew her audio wasn’t working and then sent her out live on stage anyway.
But even when it didn’t work [when live], when she pulled her ears out, they should have cut to commercial. That says to me they wanted a viral moment at any expense. And that’s not a company with integrity for 50-something years. That’s not who Dick Clark was. He loved artists.
Disgusted at whatever insight future generations will have on her, is that messy reality show with lots and lots of nobodies running around. Legend who!
I think Stella is saying the hallmark movie for Valentine's Day is postponed due to the tour? Plus expect Mimi to get into more television production via Magic Carpet - her company. Stella confirms a the scripted series development Mariah mentioned in the Variety interview. It will be interesting to see if she begins to produce shows where she is not the star.
I'm watching the first episode of Mariah's World and I wanna know what the song is during the rehearsals before she says "I can't be seen in fluorescent lighting"
For my 1000th post I wanted to let you all know that Butterfly is still Mariah's best album despite it being released 20 years ago. A timeless gorgeous album

I still can't get over how much Mariah is owning ATRL now, every time I refresh the page or go back to the home screen I swear a new thread is made about her.
Queen stays winning.
By the way, if any of you are still feeling down over the situation, this video always picks me up and makes me see the lighter side of life.
Honestly this NYE incident is making me wanna stan Mariah and get into her music more than ever.
The good thing about our beloved Queen M to tha C is that (besides her being highly entertaining when messy) she has the body of work to back all that **** up.
don't know what you saw, this is what I did...
I would never thought it was a remix
