“It’s not practical for a singer to sing live and be able to hear themselves properly in the middle of Times Square with all the noise, the freezing cold, the smoke from the smoke machines, thousands of people celebrating, especially when their ear monitors were not working at all."

Again, Mariah blamed NBC for the disaster. “Listen, guys, they foiled me...it turned into an opportunity to humiliate me and all those who were excited to ring in the new year with me.”

Mariah even added that the experience has broken her so much that she would be taking a break from social media! “This is an important time for me to finally take a moment for myself and to be with my loved ones and prepare for my upcoming tour in March.”

But Mariah couldn't end the recording without a little shout out to her fans. “And thank you to my lambs! You’re always there for me. I can’t imagine life without you. And you’ll always be a part of me. And I can’t wait to sing for you again.”
