Mariah Carey screwed up on December 31st by not continuing to try to perform even with the malfunction but can we can give her break? I understand it was a big night but she has had many big nights before and has not only lived up to the challenge but exceeded it. If you allow a baseball player 3 strikes and your out (even in the World Series) surely you can give Mariah this strike without declaring her out of the game. Mariah Carey needs to change this story as soon as possible by offering a big free concert at another event maybe even the inauguration and allow this one to go away.
