Mariah Carey made her return to the 96th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday after a seven-year hiatus — but fans quickly called her out for lip-syncing.

The 52-year-old singer, who has dubbed herself the ‘Queen of Christmas’, performed All I Want for Christmas to a crowd in Manhattan, wearing a red dress and sparkling tiara.

Mariah gave a festive performance in New York and across the U.S. surrounded by dancers and her twins, Morocco and Monroe, 11.

However, the star, who has previously landed herself in hot water for dodgy miming, was again accused of ‘obvious lip-synching’ when fans noticed her flawless voice was very similar to the recorded version of the 1994 track.

One fan wrote: ‘Mariah Carey always sends me away because her lip sync is so obvious. Like you don’t even try to hide it.’

Another typed: ‘So @MariahCarey won’t be singing the theme song anymore? Smh’ while a third typed: ‘I wish I got paid to stand and lip sync as cute as Mariah Carey… that chick never sang a note.’

Another fan said: ‘And here she is ladies and gentlemen! Mariah Carey, the self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas. … and yes, I think she has matching lips.’

One fan added: ‘Mariah Carey wears lipstick. What a shocker’ while another typed: What an amazing performance from #MariahCarey in its entirety live!! Lollien’.

Her beau Bryan Tanaka commented: ‘Best performance of the year!!!’

Back to NYE 2016 Mariah Technical difficulties put her completely out of sync with her lip-synching track, causing her to experience a train wreck in Times Square.

Megastar Diva in 2010 He should have announced in 2017 and said a good cheer for 2016 before the traditional ball dropped by making two works called Emotion and We Are Together.

However, on stage in New York City she appeared unable to hear any of the backing tracks, so she stopped pretending to sing and put her hands on her hips as the sound of her voice continued without her.

Enraged by the tragedy unfolding in front of millions of people in Times Square and watching at home, Carey frantically ran across the stage in a stunning pink bodysuit.

‘I’m just trying to be a good sport here,’ she said to the crowd as she tried to stay calm, even as the show fell apart at the joint.

Her backup dancers bravely continued, but quickly became confused and asked Marian, ‘That’s what he said. It just doesn’t get any better’ – at which point she left the stage.

Allowing her mood to get the better of her, the star added: ‘I want a holiday too. Can’t I just have one?’

After the mistake, Maria wrote in an Instagram post that ‘s*** happens’ and tried to erase the big mistake

‘We didn’t have a check for this song…. We were missing some vocalists, but that’s what happened. I’m going to let the audience sing,” the singer said before settling down.

Response: Fans took to Twitter to question why Mariah was lip syncing.

‘We didn’t have a sound check for this New Year’s baby, that’s it.’

‘Please get these trackers.’

At that point, Carey looked desperate and went to one of her dancers and said, ‘Just for laughs, do the lift.’ The dancer lifted Kerry’s leg in the air as she sang a few notes.

‘I wanted a holiday too, I just can’t get one,’ she says as the first song closes.

After the second song closes, Mariah sarcastically says, ‘Bring on the feathers, it doesn’t get any better’ before exiting.

3 million people lined the streets of Manhattan to catch the 96th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

On Thursday, as temperatures soared into the 50s with clear skies, spectators should have a clear view of the 16 giant balloon characters and street performers.

With all eyes on the parade, viewers may have noticed the absence of Today Show’s Al Roker, who missed the show 27 years after being hospitalized for a blood clot.

Among those wishing the rocker a speedy recovery were President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, who called into the show to thank first responders and the military.

In a tweet on Thursday morning, the rocker revealed that he would be released to have dinner with his family as more than 20 million viewers watched the parade from the hospital.

So #thankful for Thanksgiving. For #thanksgivingdinner out of the hospital and out of the house,’ the rocker wrote.

Despite the rocker’s absence, Broadway singer Lea Michele kicked off the festival with a rendition of ‘Don’t Rain on My Parade’ from the Broadway show ‘Funny Girl’, and the show went on without a celebrity host.

Following other Broadway shows where the 60-year-old showed she can still wow audiences, audiences tuned in to Abdul’s energetic performance.

Along with the famous balloons, the parade features 28 floats, 12 marching bands, 700 clowns and several musical stars during Thanksgiving.

Organizers say the parade will begin on the city’s Upper West Side and end at the Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square.

Attendance was predicted to include 500,000 more than last year. The 2020 parade was a TV-only event due to the pandemic.
