Mariah Carey sparks fury as livid fans spot glaring problem with her NFL Christmas match performance

Mariah Carey's fans were left disappointed when they realised the queen of Christmas wasn't performing live during the NFL Christmas game. Netflix was streaming the Kansas City Chiefs vs Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens vs Houston Texans games, along with the performances.
The diva had been announced to perform her record-breaking holiday hit All I Want for Christmas is You before the games. However, as the festive moment arrived, it wasn't live as many had anticipated. Mariah was seen singing on a high-rise building's rooftop, adorned with all things Christmassy, from candy cane structures to Santa and his sleigh, and dancers dressed as Nutcrackers. Dressed in a red sparkly Nutcracker-inspired bodysuit with tights and black boots, she certainly looked the part.
Football highlights and scenes of people singing her famous Christmas track were interspersed between her pre-recorded performance. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment, according to The Mirror US, not only because the performance wasn't live on the streaming site as they'd expected, but also accusing the 55-year-old of lip-syncing in the pre-taped performance.
On Twitter, one fan expressed disappointment over a pre-recorded Mariah Carey performance, stating: "we're not even getting mariah singing live?? f*** did i tune in for. prerecorded AND lip syncing." [sic]. Another fan echoed the sentiment, writing: "A Mariah Carey pre-recorded lip sync performance #NFLonNetflix. They could've kept that.".
