Carey opened with a pre-recorded version of “Auld Lang Syne,” which was passable despite not being live. However, things quickly spiraled out of control. As the iconic intro to her hit “Emotions” played, it became clear that something was amiss. She struggled to hear the music and reported that her vocal track was missing. As she stumbled through the song, she attempted to maintain her composure, exclaiming, “I’m trying to be a good sport here,” likely reflecting on the technical mishaps that were robbing her of a smooth performance.
Social media erupted in response to the debacle, with users chiming in on the absurdity of the situation. Yet, amidst the laughter and critiques, a consensus emerged: Carey’s disarray was a fitting representation of the tumultuous year that was 2016. Many of us felt just as lost and bewildered over the past twelve months, and Carey’s performance seemed to perfectly encapsulate that sentiment of confusion and eventual resignation.
In the end, Mariah herself provided the best commentary on the night: “You do you, girl.” As we ushered in 2017, we could only hope for a kinder year ahead. If you’re interested in more reflections on the past year, check out one of our other blog posts for additional insights.
