Mariah Carey tweeted an apology for her performance at the Michael Jackson Memorial Service in Los Angeles yesterday.

Mariah blamed the shaky performance on becoming overcome with emotion after seeing the icon’s coffin.

“Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me. I could barely keep myself from crying,” Mariah later Tweeted.

“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….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.”

Take a look at her performance below:

    Mariah doesn’t owe anyone an apology. She is human like the rest of is and was overcome with emotion. She did the best job possible under the circ**stances.

    It was a funeral Mariah not a concert. There is no need to apologize. Real recognize real .. you werent there to be judged on your performance it was a celebration. I’ve been threw a couple of funerals where the person singing couldnt get threw a song. She shouldnt apologize or feel bad. I”m sure Nick told her that but she probably felt she still had to say it

    You did a great job. When you care about the person, your emotions will take over. Your heart was full. No need to apologize. Be Blessed.

    I think Mi-Mi did a god job. It was a funeral/memorial for “ONE OF THE GREATEST”! So I feel she don’t owe nobody an apology. I don’t no how anyone got through their speech or song without breaking down.

    How gracious and kind to apologize. But it was not needed, this was a funeral Mariah and your emotions showed how much you adored MJ. The moment you realize he was lying a few feet from you, the world saw your heart break. absolutely, no need to apologize.

    It was very gracious of you to make an apology Mariah. That just shows that you are humble and not above it all. You did a really great job with your duo and sang from your heart i’m sure every one could tell that. I understand your reasons for the apology and it’s accepted. The fact remains that you were there for Micheal and the Jackson family and all of the people who were there and watching all over the world and you did really great.

    I respect Mariah for being honest. She knew she didn’t do a good job. She is so humble.

    Aww she is such a gem! What is really sad is that we have become so critical as a society that she would feel it necessary to apologize for what I thought was a wonderful and heartfelt performance under extremely emotional circ**stances. Who doesnt know Mariah can sing? No need to apologize Mariah, but the fact that you did just shows your humble and real!

    I’ve never been a Carey fan in the past, but Mariah, you had me feeling emotions on the first note. Heartfelt out shines technical accuracy in this situation. Consider me a fan from this point forward.

    Hey Mariah, you got it all girl. you got the looks, the money and the talent. your man ain’t hard to look at either. So for all the people who want to talk bad about you and don’t even know you, tell them what Katt Williams said; IF YOU AINT GOT NO HATERS, YOU DOING SOMETHING WRONG.

    I’ve been a Mariah fan since the first album. every time i seen her perform live she sounded average to me, she never would have made it to American idol final 5 in my opinion. but she’s still hot especially her new song that’s out big up’s to Mariah
