Mariah Forgets How to Carey a Tune
When shows like "The X Factor" bring in big names artists like Mariah Carey to perform, the artists aren't supposed to show the contestants that it's okay to anger Simon Cowell with a dreadfully pitchy performance.

2. You only played the first 30 second of the performance! The rest of the performance was 100% live and sounded great. She sounded better than she has in the last several years. Mariah's voice may not sound exactly like it used to but she's still 10X better than any other artist out there.

4. I didn't hear anything wrong with this performance. It was the first 20sec of the song. What were you expecting TMZ? Why do I even go to this dumb@ss website?? Stupid idiots can't get anything right!!!!!

5. Ahh, come on TMZ. I love you guys, but she's MARIAH CAREY! If anything, she was probably hoarse from HOURS AND HOURS of touring and/or rehearsing. She's MARIAH CAREY and has the best voice in the entire world! She's allowed 20 seconds of "pitchy" if that's what you wanna call it.

She is absolutely 1 of the MOST TALENTED as well as BEAUTIFUL people in the world beside JOSH GROBAN (of course) ! Give her a break guys - maybe she had a cold or something ! And I am not even a MARIAH fan but damnnnnnnnnnn - r any of u as GREAT (or Rich) as her ?? I doubt it so, GET OVER IT !!

7. Even "pitchy" she's still better then most singers on their best day.
Simon just forgot to take his fiber, or maybe his shirt was cutting off his circulation.
Either way that's Simon's "happy" look.

8. TMZ of course cut the best part of the song...the REST OF IT!!! Oh, and the part where Simon gave her a standing ovation and was grinning like a schoolgirl...

9. Give the girl a break. She so obviously had lost her voice but she honored her commitment and showed up to do the gig instead of cancelling (like some other singers have done lately). I'm not a fan of hers, but I'm a singer and I know that when your voice is tired or gone, the show still has to go on and you just sing through it.

10. Perez Hilton has the entire thing and it sucks the big one!!! She has her voices breaking in several places, can't hit the notes and keeps doing that crap where each friggin WORD gets broken up into 4-5 beats...its B-O-R-I-N-G!! Not to mention bad, horrible singing, and NONE of her famous HIGH notes either. Bury her already, she's dead, plus bigger than always fake boobs look rediculous!!

11. She's not very wise for putting herself in the power of Simon Cowell - in a situation where she can be judged as worthy or not worthy, in a second, on national TV. No established singer in their right mind would put themselves in this risky situation.

12. Not in my opinion Mariah Carey has not forgot to carry a tune. One day Mariah Carey and I will meet each other. And I live in Los Angeles,CA. and I am from Los Angeles,CA.

13. Originally Mariah had quite a powerful voice but lately it sounds weak and tinny. I saw an old video of hers and couldn't believe it.

14. Hey all of you there making all these nasty comments. I watched the show and Mariah got a standing ovation from every one including the four judges. She may have not hit all the incredible notes she used to but this song was for all our wounded war heroes. At least she is doing something for charity. What have you done -you who only knows to critise anything TMZ puts up. Why do some poeple feel that its their right to comment on anything
