Remember when Mimi flubbed up her performance of “I’ll be there” at Michael Jackson’s memorial? Remember when she apologized for it? Well, Mariah is now regretting her apology after the memorial, saying that she was emotional and unhappy about her performance. Here’s what she said on her Twitter blog about it:
“I regret sending that message but I was very emotional and I wasn’t happy with my performance,” the “Obsessed” singer said this week. “But we all did our best to give Michael the send off he deserves. I just forgot the world could read that. I thought I was just talking to my friends. I shouldn’t have done that because that was really only meant for Michael. That was about him.
“It was difficult just to get through the song because I feel as if I have been listening to Michael Jackson’s music my whole life,” Mariah added. When I was a little kid I used to sing all his songs. The whole world suffered a huge loss. The whole world is going to feel this forever. I feel myself blessed to have known him, to have performed with him several times and to have sung at his memorial.”
Here’s the original apology she Tweeted then:
“Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me. I could barely keep myself from crying. 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 (Michael) there in front of me,” she wrote at the time.
All we have to say is…does it really matter? We knew you were emotional Mariah, it was understandable, you did your best.
