  • She did not need to apologize, she showed her respect, she showed her emotion it was beautiful.

  • I think that she did fine. Her voice was wobbly to be expected, provided that she was at a FUNERAL FOR ONE OF HER DEAREST FRIENDS.

  • I have sung at several funerals...cried during some of it. Who cares? It's not about the performance it's about the message.

  • WHO CARES. So she got emotional. This is a tribute. I saw nothing wrong with it. And no Mariah you did not let me down. I would not have cared if she missed every word and sung notes all messed up--knowing she is a top notched singer. This was a death not Grammy Award or tour concert situation.

  • She cried at a funeral, what's the problem?

  • really!! wtf is she apologizing for? she didnt do anything wrong.

  • no need to appologize , its a funeral, not a concert .

  • She shouldn't feel the need to apologize. If I were at a friend's funeral I would be a fucking mess.

  • Wow, so what if her voice isn't in the best condition all the time. Still sounds great and can sing amazingly! She ages like all of us and has used her voice so much that it needs rest more now.

  • people need to hop off of mimi she was at her friends funeral with his casket dead in front of her while she was singing, she is a human being just like the rest of us she does have feeling, and she does cry we love you mariah and you did lambtastic♥

  • Mariah's voice is on the decline, big time. This performance at the Michael Jackson Celebrity Funeral proves it.

  • I think she did an amazing job. I can't sing when I am emotional, because the stress and stress tightens you vocal chords. Mariah, no need to apologize, the fans who love you and care for you all understand that you were in pain and took courage to sing in front of all the people at the funeral and those watching it on T.V.. you sounded beautiful.

  • This is not a concert damn it! A bloody memorial! Something close to a Goddamn funeral!

  • look... this performance sucked.. get over it.. all the fans need to acknowledge her flaws.. although she is amazing.. this was a hot mess... but she still has an amazing voice

  • @UnleashTheVoice SHE DID IT FOR MJ !! JUST WAIT FOR SOMEONE WHO DIED... THAN GO GIVE A SPEECH OR WHEN YOU CAN SING GO SING! MY GOSH HEARTHLESS FAG!!

  • @VitalSoX

    yea my dad died last month and i still sang the next day live without cracks.

  • @UnleashTheVoice Well depends on the person.....

  • man i wouldve broke down singing with MJ's casket in front of me. she did amazing. i sing at funerals all the time..for some people i dont even KNOW and THATS hard...imagnie singing at Michael Jackson's funeral. she did amazing

  • Emotional or not, that performance was bad... and not even just the first bit. She didn't need to apologise for it, but I'm glad she did as it made everyone see that she isn't the calculated bitch the press say she is.

  • Mariah Carey is the best she will always be!!! She didnt let anyone down she was emotional its okay Mariah!!!

  • @gogetamusic Yes she can and u bogus for calling her a fat Cow get a life!

  • The fact that she had to explain is just for media hype...It's common sense that someone would be emotional at a legendary star's funeral that died tragically. She didn't expect the coffin to be right there which was unnecessary. Everything is always a spectacle in show business.

  • when i first saw this live, no one in my family even bothered with it as we were all emotional with her, all in the same sadness together. Mariah honestly didn't even have to apologize I don't get why some people hate her so much for it.

    Not to mention, that day of MJ's memorial - HO man - so sad I'll never forget it.

  • everybody knows that she and MJ are best friends!!! who care how good that performace is......matter that how much emotions and love that her voice posses...

  • she's so down to earth and amazing, its understandable she went off key a little, she didnt need to apologise, we understand MC! <3

  • ppl bitch wen she does voice over emotion and they bitch when she does emotion over voice :/

  • She did NOT need to apologize! She did not crack!

  • It was emotional for Mariah and she did her thang the best she could. Us, true fans, still love you! ;)

  • It took a lot to be in that space, Mariah. You done good under the circumstances!!

  • Mariah Was Emotional So Of Course She Would Sound Bad. PEOPLE GET OFF HER FUCKING BACK!

  • She's human. And it wasn't about singing perfectly. It was about Michael's ceremony.

    She didn't rehearse and i think she was very sad. I can't sing either when i'm down.

    Mariah is known for her amazing voice. And the way mariah is always singing is very special, unique and difficult.

  • She was beautiful...she was crying...

  • its such bs who would judge her for her voice cracking? Do people have nothing better to do shes a great singer she was singing in front of how many people? Yeah shes a professional but get real. I think she did really good and she should have never had to apologize in the first place! Besides her voice cracking in that one part it was very good wth?

  • no need to apologize. It was a great performance very emotional and honest

  • WHaT THA FREAK! mimi dont apologize! that was the smallest crack! I WISH MY WORST PERFORMANCE WAS THAT GOOD!!!!! ugh americas tripin!

  • Mimi, you didn't have to apologize! You were upset like everybody else. We all know you're the worlds greatest singer, and from one bad performance which i personally think wasn't that bad, doesn't mean that you're not anymore (((: i lovelovelove youx0x

  • my gosh, dear MC you don't have too apologize bcoz you sing with emotion and it don't need to be rehearsed .. wants important is it was dedicated too mj :)

  • what was the problem, she hadnt of warmed up vocally or she was cold physically ??

  • @n2i2c2k2y She hadn't warmed up vocally.

  • She is just awesome, the voice cracking at start, was true and from her heart.

  • To everyone who dissed Mariah show some sympathy she was at a friends funeral with the casket right there in front of her. I'd like to see anyone in here sing even half as good as her. Until the moment you can do that STHU

  • @breannebartosh they were not friends. aside from that, you are suggesting that in order to express a thought people need to do everything first. I hate the movie blade, and singer mick jagger, does that mean that i have to make a movie and form a band? she did sound horrible because the voice is damaged. same thing happens at all of her concerts since 2000. she dodges the difficult parts and switches from live to backtrack on high and long belted parts. THIS is how she sounds now.

  • @monsteripolo they were friends. MJ called MC a friend several times.he helped her through a hard time of her life. and her voice wasn't perfect but still good. so,don't talk if you have no idea.

  • @honeyteom They only talked on the phone around the time when Mariahs dad passed away. Michael also needed help from her because he was fighting against Sony. MJ asked Mariah for support but she never appeared. So, I do know what Im talking about. Speaking on the phone 5 or 10 times does not make you a friend. Michael loved to help people, thats why he listen to her at the time. Mariah did not act the same way back.

  • @monsteripoloit Regardless of whether they were actually friends, she was still emotional, so whats your point?

  • @1985drd That she blamed her emotions when she actually sounds like that because her voice is damaged. 

  • real emotion is a wonderful thing to see at moments like this... i think she recovered quite well... and to keep it together at such a disasterous heartbreaking time for any of these artists is something we should commend them on! Mariah... u have no reason to apologize for showing real emotion... ur a beautiful lady and the way u show emotion to start off the memorial was something everyone should appreciate... i dont think it couldve began in a better way!

  • you're still amazing miss mariah...

    and you're still the best....

  • after the butterfly era, MC's voice completely deteriorated and has never been the same since. it slighty rebounded during the EOM era but it quickly fizzled due to concerts, and lots of tv performances and as a result, her voice quickly gave out and led 2 her lowest point, vocally, the E=MC2 era. she was such a talent! all she needs to do is take a little break 4rm music, like she did b4 the Emancipation era, give up alcohol, and start vocal training again as much as she may not like it'll help

  • No need to apologize Mariah you were amazing I love you they just don't understand how emotional it was for you to that amazing performance Michael. You were great.

  • Ow PLEASE MARIAH! I guess you were emotional for the last 13 years aswell? Try singing an entire song without lipping the high or belting parts.. I am a FAN but I'm more a FAN of the TRUTH and I don't like her work ethic. She isn't taking good care of her voice and this is true since the butterfly album..

  • @WillonFire87 ow dude seriously.... she was singing in front of the person who sang this song.. she was singing infront of his CASKET! would u really think she would have dun an amazin job? Where her voice is concerned of course its not as good but thats life.. voice changes with tym.. if u memba Mariah still has it in her.. compared to the likes of whitney.. celine. Mariah is styll making music TODAY. give heer some slack.... Mariah has made a hue impact in the music industry

  • @cassiehassan excuse me? you are comparing mariahs voice to that of a crack head??? yeah that's a reaaal compliment... im sorry but celine and barbra streisand for instance have kept there voices still 'singeable' not like mariah as it is worn out, raspy and hoarse... she was screaming during the butterfly era as you may see on the numerous live performance video's on youtube.. the only thing we hear these days are studio recordings and manipulations to her voice.. it just aint the same sorry

  • @WillonFire87 Whitney in her prime was good... Life got the best of her! well im sorry but are u tryna say Celine didnt lip sing? Celine Dion is a amazin singer aswell as Barbra Streisand but TODAY Mariah is the only one singing and making albums.. U saying Mariahs voice is this that that this... u cant exactly compare her to Celine or Barbra when was the last tym they made an album? or sing live?

  • Mariah you shouldn't have to apologize because If I had been in your shoes I would of not been able to even speak, you are an amzing star who has feelings Amen to your performance.

  • exactlyyyyyyy. she didnt do a bad job. she did perfectly fine. it was a sad moment for her and i respect that completely. i hate when people say negitive things that she did a bad job and all this stuff. well why dont you try singing right in front of ur best friends dead body. yahh hard isnt it?

  • i've always loved when mariah carey's voice cracks or has that raspy sound cos it sounds sexier and sexier....and when i saw this performance on tv i loved it....i had no idea that people didn't like it....

  • i honestly didnt notice what the fuss was about, she sang beautifully

  • I think her cracking and not being emotionally stable to perform, made that funeral that much better, it showed emotion, it showed the humanity of Mariah Carey, it showed she has a heart, in which a lot of performers don't show, Stevie Wonder cried as well and he's cried in many other performances, Chris Brown the same. The lost of Michael Jackson was pivotal in the entertainment industry, like the president to the country, he still so much more to do in this world.

  • she didnt have to appologize

  • I didn't notice any cracking?I thought she sounded great..

  • No need to apologize! M it came from your heart and Micheal spirit was so pleased.

    the media is WRETCHED!

  • let everybody down ???? <<< well it doesn't matter ,,cuz it wasn't about you

    people didn't care

  • @hanane1990 If people didn't care then why where there some complaints >_>

  • @theovanua it really wasn't about her ,,and @ that time ,, people was too sad about mj death ,, to think about her performance ,, btw i didn't heard anyone complained until she did this apology

  • @hanane1990 If you had watched the video onlast year when it was put on youtube and read some comments, you would've seen the people complatining >_>

  • omg seriously go get a clue. Mariah You have NOTHING to be sorry for. NOTHING its just the stupid fucking media being dicks (nothing different there) but i mean really?! You have nothing else to report on. Go get fucked. Its just so disrespectful.

  • No need to appologise , It was from the heart and that was all that matters.

  • Aw :( you can tell she was heartbroken on stage, near her friends coffin ;( you did great mariah x

  • The only person that Carey let down is her career and stop making excuses. She's suppose to be a pro for christ sake. Even Michaels own  brother didn't drop the ball. Besides who goes to a funeral dressed like a hooker? SHAME!

  • I hadn't got one single note out of my mouth. I think you did an good job Mariah!

  • You all america's are crazy!!!! Fucking crazy!!!!! She's emotional!!~you understand???? Fucking hell!!!! I love the way she sings. Why? She sings from her haert. Must she act and sing normal????????? She lost a good friend. So do we..... Respect that! We love you! Greetz, HOLLAND!!
  • @jessedaan Holland can have her crazy ass! If you love Mariah Carey search on youtube for a singer named Minnie Riperton. Minnie died when Carey was a child so when she grew up she stole her singing style. And a lot of us stupid Americans who never heard of Minnie think Mariah is great. :)

  • @jessedaan In GMA in 2008 she lost a good friend too? couse she's sing terrible (touch my body)

  • @jessedaan listen buddy. im american. and i think mariah did a beautiful job. so dont generalize about americans, k? what if i said all hollanders are judgemental just cause YOU are judging americans by a few people's opinions? ...not cool.

  • @jessedaan You're awesome! I totally agree with you!

  • Again.......NOTHING TO APOLOGIVES FOR.

    Shee gave It All she Got Andd Shee Was there For Himm

    Thatss Whats Matters

  • nice Marriah

    it's hard to sing in front of MJ grave ,

    R.I.P MJ

  • its ok mariah.... we understand how you felt............no matter what people say, you did your best and thats all that matters...

  • 4 dislikes...........get the guns people. HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS

  • Dont worry Mariah, we all understand we forgive you and you still did GREAT!

  • @yurherenow shut the fuck up you musty ass vagina. Go suck on a pipe bitch! I'm reporting your IP address

  • @DanielAvilaAGT i already reported yours take that bitch.

  • @yurherenow just shut the hell up Mariah Carey knew michael and imagine seeing your ido and friendl in a coffin infront of you corse you'd cry,, i sure would LOADS and i miss him loads and she'll miss him even more cos she knew him,,have some respect please :@ RIP MJ LOVEYOU xx

  • Why did she feel the need to apologize? Losing someone you love is difficult. Like many, I thought MJ would be around for years to come. Losing him was completely unexpected. It's been almost a year and it still hurts.

  • she should be apologizing for becoming a blimp... she's even fatter now.. she's in the paper this wk and it says she weighs 200lbs . she should apologize for being a pig not for singing for Jacko.

  • @yurherenow u such a fuckin asshole for saying that i bet yo momma aint skinny bitch she probably look like a fuckin fat slobby whale n yo sister too so fuk yo stupid ass mariah still got a voice n be makin millions so shut da fuk up n go do sumthin useful wit ya life bitch ass mutha fucka

  • @brooklynboi07 really? well Mariah is fat stupid hoochie that married a loser young enough to be her little brother. that's for starters. # 2 she's a pubic figure and as such puts herself out there to be criticized.. it goes with the territory so get used to it. she'sa blimp, she looks like a beached whale. a dead ringer for Miss piggy. (is sesame street still hiring?) #3 you're trash from the ghetto & you're Mother is a crack ho, cunt. so don't worry about whether my life is useful loser.

  • @yurherenow bitch you dont even know how tospell dumbass muthafucka go kill yoself and take yo fat ass mom with you.you are a hater so shut the fuck up bitch go lose some weight crack head bitch

  • @brooklynboi07  I was right.. you are trash.

  • she didnt have to apologize cause she sang with her heart and thats all that matters.

    We love U Michael for ever and ever till we see at the other side.

  • I would have completely broke down at the sight of Michael... Mariah, you were a true performer

  • She shouldn't apologize. It was hard on everyone when MJ passed, think of how she felt having to sing infront of her friends casket...I can't imagine :( MJ 4ever <3

  • to all of you MEDIA SHIT !!! She doesnt have to apologize !!! She is a human beeing for God!!! She lost her FRIEND...what the fu*k she was suppose to do??? SMILE????? It was hard to seat there and listen! It was hard to speak!!! You think it was easy to sing>>>> It wasnt show for a fans- IT WAS MEMORIAL!!!!! for people who CARE, not for people who PAY !!!! F**c you MEDIA & PRESS !!!!

  • its ok Mariah! *hug*

  • no singer, even a pro, will ever go their whole life without making a mistake on stage. the poor girl shouldnt feel bad, she was very emotional and she was singing from her heart and thats all that matters

  • mariah carey is a human too ya know.. and she has emotions too.. she has done a great job fighting back her tears during the memorial.. someone heartless would have just blown the song out of the water during THAT time..

  • its ok if mariah fuks up but she fuked up with the whole world watching her..and shes a pro i mean how long she been singin live? i wonder what went wrong...normally she wouldve blown that song outta the water...she killed that song in the 90's..i really think shes inconsistent live these days..if u pay to see her u dunno what ur gonna get ...wont be long b4 she needs to retire that voice and those boobs

  • Listen: If you don't like mariah carey then tht's up to you. just stop watching her videos. if you watch em just to give bad comments then there's no point in writing anything at all.... i dote know you and i'm not gonna judge so let's just leave it at that. I like mariah carey and i'm gonna keep supporting her as a fan. Say what you want now. You ain't gonna get a reply...

  • Don't be so bloody stupid. Mariah Carey is absolutely brilliant. it's people like you that makes her nervous while performing on stage.

  • Don't blame MARIAH CAREY!!!!!! cause you don't know about her...If you can sing and be like her the DIVA of all the time,five grammy awards,200 million hundred best selling,n the number one of all solo n female artist that succesful,then i let you blame her!!! hear that you loser!!

  • Well said mate thumbs up 2 u!

  • Comment removed

  • @MegGriffinX

    she still sing good than anybody stop hating

  • Yeaaaaah blame it on that.. why is she using autotune in her newest song and whens the last time u heard her sing high pitched songs? WAKE UP!! 0bviously she can't sing anymore.. All that smoking and strain damaged her voice a LONG time ago.. It had nothing to do with MJ dying!!!

  • i tottally agree

  • i did that, i sung at my dads funeral and i tried to sing but my voice felt like a lump at theback of my thort xx

  • mariah carey sucks know she doesnt know how to perform live at all back than she was great but from the vids ive been watching lately of her performing her most recent song toch my body, obssesd she has done bad she so sucks sory mimi but ur fire tourch is burning out

  • Leave her alone, she did great. What the hell did she apologize for? I didn't hear any crack! I heard EMOTION.

    I (and I bet you neither) couldn't have sung better if I were in her position. Right in front of Michael's corpse. That must be something, give her a break! or better, give me a freakin' break!

  • mariah you dont have to aplogiez you did your best

    and i would'nt be able to sing if so thing like that happend to some i love you did a varey good job if nobody likes it that there peroble bou i Love it MJ RIP

  • You didn't let anyone down Mariah. We understand the pain you were feeling. We love you!

  • the media can suck it! She did great.

  • anyone with a heart would break in the memorial but this song was performed by her in the 90's so the 'unrehearsed' bit was not necessary anyway

    R.I.P MJ...'love never dies' as you once said

  • This was a brilliant perfomance .. MJ would have loved it x

  • The only person who should be blamed is Dr.murray. the basterd overdosed the poor guy,then stole 1 million dollars in cash and took off. R.I.P Michael, u were the best :(

  • I just dont really hear the crack? I thought it was just all control and what she wanted, its not like her voice went out and it was completely noticable?!

  • i love her and mj and i bet it was really hard poor mariah

  • Music is Emotion, and THe so called "crack" was the icing on the cake for this song in this situation. Mariah Carey this was flawless, and it harnesses the emotions of many concerning MJ's passing.

  • I think it's difficult to sing in the front of Michael T^T. She went there to pay respect to Michael not for her concert there's nothing wrong with her voice. Her new album proves it.

  • I didn't even know she messed up. I saw in her face that she was sad but I thought she did great. Although i LOVE Mariah Carey I prefer the Jackson 5 to sing it. I was their song and I personally think that the Jackson 5 sing it better. But, that would sort of be hard to sing I'll Be There when theres only 4 Jackson brothers there.

  • There was no need to apologize. Thats how she felt at the moment, Im sure she wasnt expecting to see the casket there. I thought it was beautiful. Those who are critising her, you know damn well you cant sing half as good as her especially If you were singing in front of the casket of someone who you loved or had inspired you.

  • Relax people she is only human..so what she wasnt at her best hear... u cant be perfect 100 percent of the time... plus it was a funeral!!!!!

  • Fuck off haters!

  • bitch

  • Now when she was being interviewed,, THAT was when she looked and sounded like a 40 year old woman [her voice sounds old,, sorry,, Mariah!]

  • She didn't have to apologize! It was true and thats what matters... R.I.P MJ

  • @MsHannapanna i know what dick faces !!! my sister when our grandpa died she practiced on and on and on but se could not help herself to cry it was sad she is human to you guys give her a break just cause there stars doesn't mean they are PERFECT come on don't be such haters

  • she didnt have to apologize she didnt do anything wrong. she cried just like i did. i was soooo sad for a long time

  • I agree; she didn't need to apologize.

    She did a great job, and for the people who say she sounds bad, I'd like to see them singing on stage, right in front of their friend's coffin, and see how perfect they sound.

    In fact, I think that her voice breaking adds to the song - it shows that she felt real emotion, which is what singing is all about. Singing is not about being perfect.

    Reminds me of the MJ song "She's out of my life", 'cause they left the tears on the track and it added to it.

  • At least Mariah had the courage to sing at the funeral

    Where were the other so called celebrities Michael Jackson influenced

    thats the Question

    I didnt see Alicia Keys Whitney Houston

    Beyonce Prince or any other celebrities there

    Afraid to show their coward faces!

  • The biggest coward of them all,

    Chris Rock

    who made his career out of making fun of MJ.

    just to get some cheap laughs

  • Mariah is only human

    Whats there to apologize for?

    Mariahs voice was fine it was heartfelt

    However Mariah is a perfectionist and was upset at an emotional moment

    Its called being human

    There isnt a singer alive that hasnt made mistakes- Whitney's voice cracks Beyonce has been off and Chaka Khan who is the standard for female singers sounded awful on a live performance of 'Love Me Still' so hang in there Mariah is wasnt as bad as you think!

    Peace!

  • yeah she showed her try fealing and you know what it was ugly

  • She was upset we all fookin where! I lost 80% of water in my body that day..

  • Please, Mariah, you don't have to apologize, because you were showing your true feeling, but the fact that you would apologize show me just how much class you have. Just between you and me, when Stevie did his song, I broke down and cried myself, and I really didn't see that coming. I truly don't believe there will be any other days of sadness, this year, than that afternoon in June. I still can't believe that he is gone.

  • you do realise that the real mariah will never see nthis comment unless she looks up her own name right?

  • i'm not a big fan of her, but she really didnt need to apologize, like that dude made a big deal out of it

    she was upset that an idol of hers died, it was an emotional moment and she was upset along with everyone else...and yea she was unrehearsed, but if she did rehears like once she would have knocked it down, but still i dont think she had to apologize..shes good though

  • pues en verdad su voz ya no es lo mismo de antes... pero sin embargo sigue siendo una gran voz....espero y logre cantar como antes :(

  • pobrecita a mi no me parecio que lo hizo mal, estuvo super bien y muy sentimental, yo llore cuando escuche que se le partió la voz

  • its ok this is emotional she truly luvs Michael Jackson she has said it many times b4 his death he was her hero idol and inspiration she can however but we know that she is a true singer with a great voice

  • she was great

    this performance was the best performance in the memorial and the most emotional !

    mariah is the quuen :)

    good blese you mariah

    rest in peace KING OF POP ;( we miss you and love u so much

  • but she sounded great.

  • Agreed, she doesn't need to apologize. I think it brings character to her, and reflected the emotions around the world that day.

  • she didnt have t2 appolgize i love mimi

  • relax.

  • She didn't have to apologize. Her performance was wonderful.

  • all right, her voice cracked and yet people are making fun of her? i have 1 question for you, can you sing better then her? If not then shut up.

  • Oh so true! Agree 1000000x

  • you don't have to apologize MC... you are still the best =)

  • ENIMEN CAN GO SUCK IT

  • Aww, she doesn't need to apologize for the performance.. that orange dress however... well that's another issue !!

  • what about the orange dress,

  • I think that she is beautiful no matter what color that she wears. I prefer red or pink though.

  • i would of done the exact same thing as her i mean if i lost a friend i would not be able to hold up she is one of the most sweetest celebritys

    RIP MJ

    we all miss you

  • why on earth would anyone appologize for that?

  • Omg this is so unnecessary.

    She was just emotional for christ sake

  • MJ's memorial was just nauseating. Instead of it being out Michael and everything he achieved, it became this fest of people trying to further their careers and have an excuse to talk about themselves. I mean am I the only person that saw it this way?

  • I have to agree with you on this one.

  • awe. It's okay she cracked...I would have if that was someone I truly cared about and loved. It was an emotional time...and then on top of that, she was singing an emotional song.

  • what do you mean eminem dertroyed her

  • listen to these songs according to the sequence and you'll understand:

    1st- bagpipes from Baghdad by eminem

    2nd- obsessed by mariah carey

    3rd- the warning by eminem...

    after all this songs, i know mariah still holds the truth, and Mariah just stepped on him on the song obsessed

  • what the hell does eminem have to do with this ShedZombie?

  • she sounded fine!?!i dont thinkl that she needed to apologize!?!?

  • mariah was fine, so what if she got emotional....it was supposed to be more of a memorial, not so much a performance for fans. if she felt it in her heart for the deceased, then that is all that counts.
