Mariah Carey blames "everyone" for NYE lip-sync mishap

From Digital Spy

Remember on New Year's Eve when Mariah Carey had a spot of trouble with her microphones, which resulted in a lip-syncing mishap and a mountain being made out of a molehill?

Yeah, Mariah is still having to explain herself and she's now blaming "everyone", which is sort of understandable considering she must be really sick of hearing about it.

"I don't even want to bring this up too much, but whatever, we're obviously talking about it, the New Year's Eve situation – that couldn't be helped," she told Rolling Stone.

"It's just something where if I can't explain it to the entire world, then they're not going to understand it, because it's not what they do," she added.

"Just like I wouldn't understand somebody who had a desk job and how to do that. I couldn't. I literally am incapable of being in the real world and surviving."

We don't doubt that.

"I used to get upset by things," she continued. "This was out of my control, and had everything not been such a total chaotic mess, then I would have been able to make something happen.

"Even the dancers should have stopped dancing and helped me off the f**king stage. I'm sorry. It was a mess, and I blame everybody, and I blame myself for not leaving after rehearsal."

At the Times Square New Year's Eve ball drop, Mariah was performing some of her classics live on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve with Ryan Seacrest when she ran into problems – as the words coming out of the speakers didn't quite match up with the ones Mariah was singing herself.

She has since hilariously responded, saying "shit happens", before admitting she's "mortified". More recently, she opened up about feeling 'victimised' over her performance.

Never mind. Here's some classic Mariah to make everything better:
