天后王菲最近的演唱会被很多歌迷调侃唱成了年度第一车祸现场。声线发抖、走音、抢拍，状况频发。同样在近日开唱的美国乐坛“天后”级巨星玛利亚·凯莉在跨年夜晚会上也演砸了，不仅自称耳机出问题而无法演唱，甚至还间接承认自己在假唱。
12月31日当晚，数万人聚集在美国纽约时代广场，观看这场跨年夜演出，电视台还进行现场直播，数百万人都看到了凯莉约6分钟的表演。
从第一首《友谊地久天长》开始，事情似乎就已偏离预定轨道。
But as she started singing Auld Lang Syne, it became clear that things weren't going to plan.
但当她开始演唱《友谊地久天长》时，很明显事情就已经要开始跑偏了。
当凯莉的经典曲目《情感》响起时，她却告诉观众，她戴的耳机里听不见声音，因此整首歌曲放的全是伴奏，其间夹杂凯莉拿手的海豚音。而凯莉只能在舞台上踱步，不时与伴舞摆出一些姿势。
Telling revelers jammed into Times Square there had not been a soundcheck for her hit song Emotions, she lamented: “We’re missing some of these vocals, but it is what it is.”
要演唱热门曲目《情感》时，玛利亚·凯莉告诉纽约时代广场里挤满的狂欢者，她的耳机里听不见声音。她遗憾地说：“我们要漏掉一些音乐了，但就是这样。”
“Let the audience sing,” she decided, as she paced the stage.
她决定，“让观众们合唱吧”，开始在舞台上踱步。
到了第三首歌《我们属于彼此》时，凯莉干脆告诉观众，这首放的是专辑版。即便她有时拿开麦克风，却依然有歌声，很明显她当时是在假唱。
The next song, We Belong Together, went no better. At times, Carey lowered the microphone from her mouth and the music, vocals and all, kept playing, making it clear she was lip-synching.
演唱下一首歌《我们属于彼此》时，情况也没有变好。凯莉有时拿开麦克风，但依然有音乐和伴奏，显然她是在假唱。
“I’m trying to be a good sport here,” she said, adding her own sarcastic review of the performance. “That was … amazing.”
凯莉说：“我在努力做个输得起的人”，她还对这次表演自嘲道：“这简直……太棒了”。
最终，她的表演在尴尬中结束。
At the end of her performance, watched by millions of fans, Carey abruptly walked off stage and signed off with: "It just don't get any better."
表演结束时，凯莉最后说道：“就是没变好”，转身离开舞台。晚会有数百万人观看。
