Mariah Sacks Backing Singer Onstage
If you were listening to this week's Radio 1 Chart Show you'll already have heard Fearne and Reggie laughing long and hard about this clip, which Fearne unearthed on YouTube.
It features Mariah Carey doing not one, but two astonishing things,
First she doesn't seem to be quite on top of things when the music starts, like she is unsure as to when to stop doing those pre-song vocal warmup moan things and when to start actually singing the song.
Then, a little later, she seems to be telling one of her backing singers off for singing her bit. She actually sings "stop singing my part now baby" as if this is an important part of the song, and not just a very public dressing-down, only with handclaps.
Well, she's either sacking the poor girl, or making some embarrassed joke to the band about the problems they're having with the backing tapes. Either way, it's The Fun!
PS: 'Touch My Body' has been given a once-over with the Lyriscope...which is not as rude as it sounds.

Did anyone else notice the immediate upping of diva qualities in Mariah's singing after she sacked the singer?
