Thoughts, Raves & Outright Beatings

Alot of folks in the MSM and in the blogesphere are pointing, laughing and/or crying over this clip of Mariah Carey on GMA from yesterday morning:

Personally, I don’t think she did all that bad. She made the most of a skipping backing track, acknowledged a bad situation, and saved it to the point where she came out floating like an, ahem, butterfly.

However, woe be to the backup singer who, around 3:05, tried to do a melissima (sp) all up and around her boss. Mariah’s comeback was golden. I’m in MC’s corner on this frankly. I’d be pissed too, if someone whom I hired to help me out tried to steal my shine. Not to mention, it was quite unprofessional.

That girl will probably have to continue her career on YouTube because Ms. Carey will probably make sure she never works as a backing singer in NYC ever again. Can’t say that I blame her.

Update: Apparently, some of the commentators over at A Hot Mess are saying that the vocal melissimas that stomped all over Carey weren’t from an out-of-line backing singer,  but were, in fact, the result of unsynced pre-recorded vocals.    The whole performance looks to have been a technical disaster, to say the least.
