Could it be? Mel B discussed Mariah Carey's disastrous New Year's Eve performance on The Real on Tuesday, January 10, and wondered if the pop diva has lost her signature vocal abilities. The former Spice Girl, who was also in Times Square on December 31 to host NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly, told the morning-show hosts she almost immediately noticed that Carey's performance had gone awry. "I was watching, going, 'What is going on over there?' because I was trying to lip-synch along to her song, pretending I was Mariah, and then it all stopped, and then I looked over and I couldn't believe what I was actually seeing," she recalled.
"As a performer, as somebody on TV, if something happens, you just keep going," the America's Got Talent judge continued. "Your first reaction is to not let silence go too long, so I was in complete shock. I was like, 'Why did you let that happen?' And this is Mariah, who's an amazing singer and an amazing performer."
Mel B, 41, then questioned whether the five-time Grammy winner had trouble hitting the notes she effortlessly sang back in the '90s and early '00s. "Maybe she doesn't have that voice anymore," she said. "I hate to say it. I think maybe she was having a rough day vocally and didn't even want to attempt that when it actually came to singing live because some of the track was pre-recorded, all of the high notes, and some of it was just blank for her to sing live."
