Mariah Carey's New Year's Eve performance Did go off with a hitch.  For minutes too long, she was unable to get the music out.  Was it that the lip-sync wasn't synced?  Her mike pack wasn't working?  Carey couldn't reach the notes?  I don't know, we don't know, but -- the show basically went on.  And so will 2017!     news
