Mariah Carey Speaks Out On NYE Performance

Mariah Carey has given her first full interview since her disastrous New Year’s Eve performance in Times Square and now admits she’s partly to blame for what happened, but not actually for the bad performance.

"This was out of my control, and had everything not been such a total chaotic mess, then I would have been able to make something happen,” she tells “Rolling Stone.” “Even the dancers should have stopped dancing and helped me off the f---ing stage.” She adds, “I'm sorry. It was a mess, and I blame everybody, and I blame myself for not leaving after rehearsal."

Mariah says she gets why the public doesn't understand what went wrong with the performance. "It's just something where if I can't explain it to the entire world, then they're not going to understand it, because it's not what they do,” she offers. “Just like I wouldn't understand somebody who had a desk job and how to do that. I couldn't. I literally am incapable of being in the real world and surviving."
