Mariah Carey cannot be heard

New Year’s Eve is no doubt the noisiest time of the years, especially in Times Square. The iconic New Year ball drops yearly while the whole world watches, so it is critical that everything goes as planned. This is why all the participants in the event take the time to practice and make time investments to do a dress rehearsal before the main event. The technical team also checks the equipment multiple times.

Unfortunately, 2017 did not start well for Mariah Carey as a huge hitch happened during the singer’s turn to perform. She was asked to go to the stage for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest, but a technical failure caused her music to be unhearable. The pop diva asked the audience to sing and then popped a prerecorded track instead. Well, it was good, though, that she was able to redeem herself the following years.
