Dick Clark Productions denies Mariah Carey’s camp’s claims.
Mariah Carey’s camp defended the pop diva and blame the Dick Clark Productions by saying the production company set her up to fail in front of many people.
The production company was behind the annual “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” special on ABC.
The tension arises after the disastrous performance of the pop diva. When she was performing on ABC’s “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest,” her audio track malfunctioned.
In front of million audiences, Mariah was lip syncing some of her biggest song on stage. The pop diva attempted to sing but she stopped and chose to let the audience finish the song.
After the epic performance, Mariah claimed that her ear piece was not working and said that the production company set her up to fail on stage.
In a recent news report of CNN, the Dick production company fires back Mariah for blaming them for the technical problems while she performing on stage.
Dick Clark Productions clarify the issue by giving a statement to CNN.
“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,” Dick Clark Productions said.
“In very rare instances there are of course technical errors that can occur with live television, however, an initial investigation has indicated that [Dick Clark Productions] 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,” the statement added.
Furthermore, the Maria Carey manager Stella Bulochnikov, blamed that the show’s producers who chose not to fix the technical problems to set her to fail and have a messy performance “to get ratings.”
“I will never know the truth, but I do know that we told them three times that her mike pack was not working and it was a disastrous production,” she said.
The disastrous performance of Mariah became the center of controversy and caught the attention of the online community.
