MC為自己演出失常，在Today Show道歉。 Mariah Apologizes for Performance at MJ Memorial 'It was a true and honest emotional moment,' she tells 'Today' of her voice cracking during 'I'll Be There.' Mariah Carey had the difficult task of being the first performer at the Michael Jackson memorial on Tuesday. And when her voice cracked in the first few moments of her cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There," she said she felt like she disappointed everyone. On the "Today" show Wednesday (July 8), Carey described how hard it was for her to sing on the show and how seeing the casket made it difficult for her to get through the performance. "I feel a little bit like I let everybody down, but I really did try and it was difficult," she said. "But you know what I think? It was a true and honest emotional moment." On Tuesday, Mariah also took to her Twitter to share with her fans her disappointment over her performance and how completely emotional she became at the show. "Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me," she wrote. "I could barely keep myself from crying." She apologized for the performance, during which she was joined by her "MTV Unplugged" duet partner Trey Lorenz. "I'm sorry that I wasn't able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me," she tweeted. "One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people he inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts." MTV報導 http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1615530/20090708/jackson_michael.jhtml 娛樂週刊跳出來幫她講話： EW: "Why would she do that?!" Entertainment Weekly critic Ken Tucker about Mariah's apology: Mariah Carey apologized for her performance at yesterday's Michael Jackson memorial, saying she "wasn't able to pull it together and really do it right," and that she was "sorry." She made the comments via her Twitter page. Check out her version of "I'll Be There" and I'll tell you why I think she's being too hard on herself. 我不覺得瑪咪咪需要道歉；這不是American Idol，非得說服觀眾你很會唱。 瑪咪咪展現第一流的演唱，情感流露才是更重要的。 I don't think Carey has anything to apologize for. In fact, at a time when so many singers are trying for the kind of note-for-note "perfection" that shows like American Idol have convinced too much of the population is the way singers should sound, I found Carey's emotionally jagged performance all the more moving. Indeed, this is what first-rate pop singing is truly about: emotion expressed through the grain of the voice, not impeccable, often sterile, pitch and timbre. And here's what MSNBC reporter Courtney Hazlett had to say about Mariah's performance: 我要為瑪咪咪講幾句話。很多人批評她沒唱好，但她其實是唯一一位沒綵排的歌手。 因為沒綵排，所以更能流露出真實情感。她是真心為了麥可而站上這個舞台。 "I wanted to play Mariah Carey right there because she's getting a lot of criticism for not hitting some notes. I think she was the only performer who didn't get a chance to rehearse at the Staples Center prior to this memorial service. That goes counter to everything you're taught in 'How To Be a Celebrity/Singer' school. She wanted to be there. She was clearly emotional. She could only make it happen if she didn't rehearse so I say that's fantastic that she did this and it really speaks to exactly why the people who stood on that stage stood on that stage - they wanted to be there for Michael Jackson." --
