Singer Mariah Carey was trashed on social media after she walked off the stage in Times Square due to a technical default during her performance.
Carey walked off during the New Year Eve telecast on ABC channel after the wrong lip-synced track was played during her show. She appeared flustered and on the verge of tears as she declined to sing some lines of her songs.
The singer appeared to have technical difficulties during her live performance on Saturday night in Times Square.

She even stopped singing her song "Emotions," paced the stage and told the audience to finish the lyrics for her.
She told the crowd, "I'm trying to be a good sport here."
Carey headlined the festivities in Times Square, where about a million revelers jammed in to greet 2017.
After the song finished Carey looked exasperated.
She started saying, "That was," then she paused and finally finished by saying, "amazing."

Carey's meltdown became the most trending topic on Twitter, with commenters trashing the songstress.
"Hellen Keller could have lip-synced to Mariah Carey better than Mariah Carey can lip sync to Mariah Carey," wrote one Twitter user.

Another Twitter user wrote that the "militant group Daesh claimed responsibility" for the meltdown.
"Who needs to drop the ball for New Year's when Mariah Carey already covered it," tweeted another user.
Others compared her to infamous lip-syncers like Ashley Simpson and 1980s pop duo Milli Vanilli.
