They played the wrong accompaniment. She was expecting to lip sync the whole thing but on “Emotions” they played a backing track that was for semi-lip-sync situations, in which she sings most of the song but lip syncs the high notes. She was not about to attempt actually singing that song.

There couldn’t have been a more appropriate finale to the year. Fuck this shit.

“And that’s what it is”

She is such a badass diva she cant even be bothered to sing her own stuff. Boss level 10

The DNC nominated the person who got the most votes. By a lot.

If you want to cast aspersions, though, cast aspersions on the people in the Democratic party who were secretly (or not so secretly) hoping for a Trump nomination, because they thought he’d be a walkover.* Cast aspersions on the people inside the Clinton…

Love you, HamNo, but my only response to this is: No fucking shit. The warnings were around for months and months and months, but the DNC still nominated the only candidate who could possibly make Trump seem palatable. (“She still won the popular vote!” BFD. The Boston Red Sox had the best batting average in the…

I’m thinking he gives nor gets any fucks.

I understand all the hysteria, but let’s take it easy on this guy: he is single-handedly responsible for one of the only satisfying climaxes to a Chargers game this season.

“What’s the problem? I was told to stand here, and wear this hat and jack..... oh shit.”

I am 5'10" and have a 35 inch inseam, so no Shaq over here, but trust me when I tell you that it VERY MUCH effects me when you jam your seat back into my knees. I literally never do it (even on overnight flights) because in my opinion it makes you into an automatic asshole.

If the legroom on flights was like it used to be in the 1990's and early aughts, reclining wasn’t a big deal. Now, though? It’s a problem.

Yeah the only times I’ve reclined is on international flights. And only after (or before) meal service. Because those are special assholes who recline during meal service.

If you are over 6 feet tall, it IS a big deal.

I think some of this can be attributed to outdoor performance. She does well enough until around 1:43.

Still better than a lot of other people have done.

I'm sorry but this is bullshit. If you heard probably 99% of the pop stars these days sing live "unplugged" with no reverb or accompaniment I doubt it would be much better. Beyonce can't sing half as well. Mariah has some def vocal problems, wear and tear from all the riffing and over singing, but this is unfair…

She's actually doing pretty OK until around 50 seconds in, then it all goes downhill.

Pitches love vibrato.

The contrast between the two singers shows us how much difference high-end gear can make. In this case, the Beyta 87 is obviously better than the SMDH-58.

"What? She used a vibrato out there?"

How can anyone with labia stand NOT to wear underwear with pants? Does the crotch seam not totally mangle your special area?
