The singer is ready for the second round of her reappearance. After traveling the world on the headlines after a series of glitches and technical difficulties during last year’s show. Mariah Carey addressed the uncomfortable performance in a press release on Friday, December 22, announcing her return to the annual show.

“We can all agree that last year was not exactly how we planned. We are thrilled to move forward together to give the United States an incredible night of music and celebration at Dick Clark’s New Year Rock Eve Night with Ryan Seacrest. 2018, See you in Times Square,” said the joint statement with Dick Clark Productions.

2nd round for Mariah Carey

After this, she echoed through Twitter announcing it in her personal account.“Take 2. #RockinEve #NYE,” the tweet said. Making an analogy with the cinematographic shoots when they repeat the scenes once they have gone wrong.

The networks were flooded with news about the event held last year. The presentation of the singer on the eve of New Year in 2016/2017 in Time Square was a complete mockery. For those who did miss this show. The renamed diva presented a series of technical difficulties that caused multiple mishaps for their show.

Visibly altered, the singer said she would leave but then she stayed. While her dancers continued to perform and the producers had to put an audio recording of her voice. Beginning with a version of “Auld Lang Syne” fans quickly noticed that the supporting vocal song wasn’t in time with the singing of Mariah Carey. Mariah, were you folding? Don’t worry, almost nobody noticed.

After this, the interpretation of her 90s success “Emotions” stopped when a defective headset left her unable to listen to the music.

After the debacle last year, Carey tweeted: “Have a happy and healthy new year! I offer more headlines in 2017!”.

Speaking of the incident

The Grammy-winning singer broke the silence by giving her statements about his eventful presentation.

“All I can say is that Dick Clark was an amazing person and I was fortunate enough to work with him when I started in the music business,” Carey told Entertainment Weekly. “I have the opinion that Dick Clark would not have allowed an artist to endure that. He would have been as mortified as I was.” Although Carey says it was a “horrible” year, she appreciates the support of her faithful fans during the difficult moments.

“My true followers have been very supportive and I appreciate them very much. Everyone in the media who supported me because it was an incredible Christmas season that turned into a horrible New Year”,

‘That’s not going to stop me from doing a live event in the future’

Carey, who by that time was about to leave for her “All the Hits” tour with Lionel Richie in March, said that wouldn’t stop her in her future shows like New Years.
“That’s not going to stop me from doing a live event in the future. But I’ll be less confident about using someone outside of my own team.”

Dick Clark Productions responded to Carey’s comment after a report emerged that they allegedly “planned to fail”

“Suggesting that DCP, as producer of musical events such as the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, New Year’s Rockin ‘Eve and the Academy of Country Music Awards, would intentionally compromise the success of any artist is a defamation. A scandal and something frankly absurd.”

Entertainment Tonight said Carey fired her creative director, Anthony Burrell after the fatal presentation. The news says that he moved the choristers offstage and that caused confusion for the singer.
When Mariah took the stage to sing three songs, she stated that she could not hear anything in her hearing aid.

A publicist on behalf of the singer told CNN: “There was a production problem, technical difficulties, and unfortunately there was nothing that she could do that would continue with the presentation, given the circumstances.”

Undoubtedly, this star and singer, famous for her wide vocal range of five octaves, was one of the most recognized artists with best-selling albums in the 1990s and became an icon with this holiday season for her success “All I want for Christmas is you “. For many years we have seen her giving concerts with Christmas themes in the New York City. No doubt she will give us something to talk about, be it for her presentation and others, we hope that this year there will not be any difficulties and that she will shine in the stage giving a memorable show to receive the new year, turn on the stage!
