Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree : Mariah Carey is known for her five-octave voice, her slinky dresses and her many hits, including “All I Want for Christmas is You.”
Unfortunately, she is also known for her tardiness. And her behavior this week at the Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in New York won’t do anything to help that reputation.
[fwdevp preset_id=”8″ video_path=”FNtrS3JdlSc”]Some fans even suggested the songstress was “murdering” All I Want For Christmas Is You at the festive event – and begged her to stop.
The pop diva had got off to a bad start after she upset fans the night before when she reportedly delayed the pre-recording performance by about three hours – resulting in it being called off.
But Mariah said sorry and the next night was on course to make up for it by singing All I Want For Christmas Is You live at the actual ceremony.
Last night's situation was beyond my control. I apologize to all that showed up, you know that I would never want to disappoint you.

However, according to reports things took a bad turn when it became clear that Mariah, 44, wasn’t her usual songbird self.
Isolated unedited footage from the event apparently shows she was unable to reach some of the higher notes and at times seemed to be out of breath.
While some fans fiercely defended the star, suggesting she might have been feeling unwell or was just having an off-night, others took a harsher line.
