To many people’s surprise, Mariah Carey has confirmed that she will be returning to this year’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest lineup, despite what happened last year.
While many were excited to see her in 2016, it was clear that the “We Belong Together” singer had some serious issues on the stage, as she was struggling to keep up with her songs on multiple occasions.
As can be expected, recordings of the event spread around the Internet like wildfire, and many started mocking Carey, while others were clearly worried about her.
There was a lot of noise on social media following the incident, with Carey and Dick Clark producers passing the blame like a hot potato and refusing to admit that either side was at fault, but it looks like that is all in the past now.
While there has been no official public reconciliation between them, it looks like Carey and people behind the program do not have any issues at this point, and the singer is ready to make her comeback at this year’s celebration.
Various other celebrities have already confirmed their presence, and this year’s event is shaping up to be even better than the last.
Hopefully, this will also apply to Carey, as another incident like that could very well have long-lasting repercussions for her career.
However, after what happened in 2016, the event will likely be organized in a stricter way that would make it far less likely for mistakes like this to occur. Or at least that is what most fans are hoping for right now.
Carey is a music legend, and many viewers are rooting for her to succeed on that big night.
She has done shows like this one many times before and with the right setting, she should be able to handle the gig properly.
