Mariah Carey apologizes for performance at memorial
To the untrained music ear, Mariah Carey's performance during Michael Jackson's memorial was perfect. But the Grammy-winning singer thinks she could have done better at the Staples Center event in Los Angeles on Tuesday. "Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me," Carey Tweeted. "I could barely keep myself from crying."
While Carey, 39, performed her cover of The Jackson 5 hit, "I'll Be There", with Trey Lorenz, images of the King of Pop were projected onto a huge screen above the stage. Upon seeing photos of the late singer, Carey became emotional.
"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," Carey explained on Twitter. The singer added, "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." (New York Daily News)
