After watching the clip, we kinda agree with Mimi, because it went on for what seemed like forever!

Mariah Carey's team is blaming her disastrous NYE live performance on the network and production company, claiming that they hung the singer out to dry after they knew her audio equipment was not working properly.

"I will never know the truth, but I do know that we told them three times that her mic pack was not working and it was a disastrous production. I'm certainly not calling the FBI to investigate. It is what it is: New Year's Eve in Times Square. Mariah did them a favor. She was the biggest star there and they did not have their s--t together," her manager Stella Bulochnikov told Us Weekly.

"They acknowledged that they knew her inner ears were not working. They did not cut to a commercial. They did not cut to the West Coast feed, they left her out there to get ratings," she added.

A source revealed to the mag that emails were sent to Dick Clark productions on Sunday, "asking why they are suspiciously silent and let Mariah take all of the hits today when they are responsible for the mess."

Dick Clark productions responded with the below statement, and basically it's a big F-you to the Grammy winner and her team.
    "As the premier producer of live television events for nearly 50 years, we pride ourselves on our reputation and long-standing relationships with artists. To suggest that dcp, as producer of music shows including the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and Academy of Country Music Awards, would ever intentionally compromise the success of any artist is defamatory, outrageous and frankly absurd. In very rare instances there are of course technical errors that can occur with live television, however, an initial investigation has indicated that dcp had no involvement in the challenges associated with Ms. Carey’s New Year’s Eve performance. We want to be clear that we have the utmost respect for Ms. Carey as an artist and acknowledge her tremendous accomplishments in the industry."

What a mess!
