MARIAH CAREY BOTCHED NEW YEARS EVE: HAD PEOPLE CRINGING.

THE KUHNS REPORT

CALIF-Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Mariah Carey's  New Years Eve performance was a fiasco--a BIG, BIG, flop. She really botched New Year's Eve at Times Square during Dick Clark's New Years Eve Rockin' Eve., with Ryan Seacrest, and covered by  ABC.

She was the headline act for millions of revelers ushering in 2017. She stopped "lip syncing" her song, "Emotions, We Belong Together," and told the audience to finish the lyrics  for her: "I'm trying to be a good sport here," she said.  And then abruptly left the stage.

Talk about a cringe worthy performance. This was it. Here's a Grammy winner that didn't even know her own lyrics to a song.

Boy, has the entertainment business changed. Vocal artists used to "actually" sing their songs when on stage. Apparently the vocalists of today "pretend" to sing and mouth the words and lip sync. And, people pay to see this? It's nothing more than a karaoke performance on a big stage where the pretend singer is all dressed up and has a dance group behind them. But even a karaoke a singer sings with the music background. Lip syncing people just strut the stage pretending to sing into a microphone. To me, that's not talent, that's make believe. Any small child  can do that. Where is the talent in that?

Personally,  these vocalists of today who lip sync,who  pretend to sing, couldn't pay me go to one of their concerts. I see it as "fake' entertainment. A singer should be able to stand on their own vocal talent and sing the song. Years ago, if an entertainer tried to pretend to sing and lip sync, they were banned or booed off stage, But now? Wow! And, - that's my opinion. Make up your own mind. You decide.
