[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not making excuses for her.  But truly if you've never performed live with monitors, you really have no idea what you are talking about. If you can't hear yourself, it is impossible to sing along with the track.  It's not like Karaoke.  I had it happen to me playing piano at a church. The monitor stopped working and I couldn't hear anything. I might as well have been playing the air.

Plus, the timing is complete different.  If her earpiece was out there is no way she would have been able to pull it off. [/quote]

Everything you've written here is true. But for a performer of her caliber, this should be [b]old hat[/b]. There's not a performer to who that hasn't happened. She  should have stuck her finger in her ear  to hear her notes and sang the hell out of it like her fans would expect, especially for a New Years show.  She is so apathetic it sucks. [/quote]

I don't think you quite comprehend the situation.  You can hear the music b/c you're listening to your TV.  When you're on stage in the middle of a huge crowd, you can't hear the music if your ear piece isn't working.  She made the best of a bad situation.

I wish she'd stop wearing those ridiculously high heels though.  Women--if you can't walk down stairs without help, then stop wearing stupid shoes.

Also, she must have been freezing in that silly outfit.  Ryan Seacrest looked like a serial killer from a B movie in a tux and those gloves.[/quote]

I comprehend it. [b]I've had it happen[/b]. I stuck my finger in my ear found my key and saying the hell out of it. I didn't rely on my back up dancers to help me maneuver around the stage as I rolled my eyes and made lame non sequiturs. Technical difficulties is no excuse  even if it were true, which I don't believe it is.

Sidenote: It's getting so tiresome trying to explain to my kids why it's important to not suck as a human being with behavior like this where people are rewarded for bad attitudes or apathy. [/quote]

LOL, PP!  When was the last time you performed for an estimated [b]2 million[/b] people?

Also, LOL on your "sidenote," you've obviously had a tough year if one bomb performance has shaken you up this much.  You sound like an embittered back up singer.  Hope this year is better and try not to suck as a human being.  :)[/quote]

Uhh holy crud that's a head full of crazy you have there!! No I've never performed for a ginourmous audience- didn't say I had. I can still agree with the rest of the world that that was awful. I'm not even sure what your next statement means but I've never sang back up-to-date not that there's anything wrong with it. Performing was never my career, just a hobby or for whenever I needed to pull a performance out for summer $$ or travel during undergrad. And I didnt hit her performance heights nor her depths either = I'm good with that!!

Worry about your own suckage. As I tell all my kids: do what you have passion for. If you lose the passion, find a new job.[/quote]
