I hate things like this.
You know when you go to a concert and the sing half way through holds the microphone out to the crowd, ‘I’m like, hey mate, we paid to come here to hear you sing not for us to sing to you’.
But then this is a whole new level. She didn’t turn up for rehearsals and doesn’t even sing on the night. Come on, your getting quite a pretty penny to stand there and sing. How about you actually, you know, SING!!!!
I hope next year they say they’ll get Mariah Carey and then a guy walks on the stage, puts a CD into a CD player and goes, “welcome, Mariah Carey” and then presses play.

I have always been amazed by the elaborate stuff he wrote in his later years only by hearing it in his head.

As someone who has been in bands and played multiple live shows, the whole debacle was a combination of me feeling sorry for her since I understood what the problem was and me feeling embarrassed with how she chose to handle it.
The stage monitor, either in-ear or a band-facing speaker, is one of those things you don’t realize the value of until it is gone. It’s what makes performing in the stage environment the same as the environment you practice in, and not having it means you are never fully sure that you are playing/singing the right thing or are even in-time with the rest of the band.
She found herself in the situation where she should have either A: done nothing, stepped to the side of the stage and tried to get it worked out or B: just rolled with it and performed like nothing was wrong. In either case, it would have been clear that there were technical problems and the blame for the disaster would have fallen on the people putting on the show, not on the performer.
Instead, she chose to draw constant attention to it with the audience, and that, fairly or not, put it all on her.

I’ve not been in a band, but I think this is the most realistic take I’ve seen. She should have said, “Excuse me everyone for one minute, we’re having some technical difficulties.” and stepped over or said “Fuck it, the monitors out, but they’re my songs and we’re doing it live, let’s go!”
I feel like those are the responses of actual artists. I get that there was a major problem with the sound, but she responded like a spoiled diva and not like an artist who’s proud of their work.
