If ABC/DCP is allowing this to be viewed and hasn't exercised its right to shut it down, is that to make MC look bad? Because the fault is on production and not her?
Was ABC/DCP not at fault and thus they're happy to continue letting it sit there to make her look bad?
My $.02

I see lots of performers 'pull their ears out,' and they continue performing. So what was different about Mariah Carey's performance?
It is completely different during an outdoor concert in a huge venue. This isn't your high school auditorium. The performers can't hear a thing without those ear pieces.
Her outfit was awful, but even at her worst she's a great singer. There is a high chance she was either lip syncing or using a backing vocal to boost her sound, because not even a superstar can sing outside in freezing temperatures. Clearly, she had lost her earpiece and it was causing her issues, and she either couldn't hear the backing music (likely) and/or the incorrect track was being played. She did not look stoned or drunk to me, but it must be like a bad dream to be onstage and unable to perform the way she'd like.
Her reaction was appropriate for the occasion: Sh*t happens.

She is nothing but an aging pop star who has run her own course.
She is overweight now, has lost the majority of her past good looks & honestly looks like she is trying much too hard to keep up her sex appeal.
Her sexy/skimpy clothes no longer work for her @the tender old age of 46.
Jennifer Lopez + Gwen Stefani can fortunately still pull it off since they both are still in their physical prime.
However Mariah's time has been up the past decade.
She and Madonna should retire.....
so glad women stick together as they get older.

Maybe you didn't rely on back up singers b/c you didn't actually have any PP? There wouldn't be any point in singing the hell out of the song when they're playing the wrong track, but I'm sure you would have done lots better than Mariah.
