As Mimi stood at the top of the steps of the elaborate stage in the center of Times Square in New York the back-up track of the song started a little bit too early. In true diva fashion, Mimi managed to shake off the backing track slipup while improvising in her skintight, hot pink dress. "A little creative. I try to bring something new to the moment every time," Carey said after the performance.

Mariah Carey Scolds Backup Singer During Performance
There's a chance Mariah Carey will be looking for a new backup singer soon. While performing her No. 1 hit 'Touch My Body' on Good Morning America, the R&B diva turned around and scolded a backup singer, singing "Stop singing my part ... now baby ..." Carey's response to the backup singer's flub was the least of her problems.
As Mimi stood at the top of the steps of the elaborate stage in the center of Times Square in New York the back-up track of the song started a little bit too early. In true diva fashion, Mimi managed to shake off the backing track slipup while improvising in her skintight, hot pink dress. "A little creative. I try to bring something new to the moment every time," Carey said after the performance.

I would just like to say....this article FAILS. The problem was not the backup singer; if you did any research at all, you would realize the problem was ONLY the backing track, and Mariah said "Stop singing my part now baby" as a message to the audio technicians to turn off the backing track. If you listen closely, the part where she belts "Touch my body!" plays just a bit too soon, and then a couple seconds later she repeats it, actually singing the part she would have been lipping. =]

She wasn't scolding a background singer. The track was messed up.

Mariah Carey has a great voice, but it's never professional to dress down a backup singer during a performance. Shame on you Mimi! :(

You know what? She's a dumb b***ch and let me tell you why? She is so hell bent on being a "diva" that she actually NEEDS someone to sing her damn parts because she can't sing it her damn self. I mean honestly, Mariah Carey was so 10 years ago! Isn't she like 50? WIth all the plastic surgery its really hard to tell. She should just stop trying to be something that she's notShe is NOT a Diva! She never was and never will be! She is ridiculous and stupid if she thinks that she can ever compete with the REAL ClASSIC Divas like Mrs. Aretha Franklin herself!
