Pop divas have to stick together! Mariah Carey does not want Fergie to listen to the haters after her jazz-inspired performance of the National Anthem at the NBA All-Star Game was criticized on social media.
?Darling, nobody needs to listen to that,? Carey told TMZ on Sunday, February 18. As previously reported, the former Black Eyed Peas singer?s rendition of ?The Star-Spangled Banner? at the Staples Center in Los Angeles was panned by fans and even some famous faces just hours earlier.
Carey, meanwhile, is no stranger to criticism after a live performance. Following a series of technical difficulties on Dick Clark?s New Year?s Rockin? Eve With Ryan Seacrest on December 31, 2016, the Grammy winner returned to the Times Square stage to redeem herself the following year.
?She was ready to play,? a source told Us Weekly at the time about her 2017 performance. ?She wanted to prove herself.?
