Perhaps no one is more ready for 2017 than Mariah Carey.
The pop music diva didn\u2019t exactly shine Saturday night during her final 2016 live TV performance. On ABC\u2019s \u201cDick Clark\u2019s Rockin\u2019 New Year\u2019s Eve,\u201d the headliner suffered an audio equipment malfunction, which resulted in one of the more awkward television moments of a year many would like to forget. Apparently, the singer could not hear herself \u2014 or possibly anything \u2014 in the on-stage monitors. The rest of the world could sure hear the music and backing track for her hit single, \u201cEmotions,\u201d however \u2014 including all those pre-recorded high notes.
While Carey\u2019s back-up dancers kept doing their thing, the vocalist pretty much walked around the stage, repeatedly asking a technician to turn her speakers on. At one point she told the crowd, \u201cI\u2019m trying to be a good sport here.\u201d

The 46-year-old invited those in midtown Manhattan to do the singing for her, concluding, \u201cThis was \u2026 amazing.\u201d

Carey later tweeted, \u201cS\u2014 happens. Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here\u2019s to making more headlines in 2017.\u201d

If we look at the performance in purely existential terms, it may serve as an appropriate send-off to a year that ended on quite a few low notes. Or, in this case, low notes that were then spoken over in frustration until the bitter end. Here\u2019s the grand finale:

When reached by TheWrap , Dick Clark Productions declined to comment on the performance. We also contacted Ryan Seacrest Productions and ABC, but did not immediately hear back from those requests.
