Carey claim of sabotage rejected

Production company denies glitches brought New Year show to early halt

Dick Clark Productions is hitting back against Mariah Carey's claim that it sabotaged her live performance on its "New Year's Rockin' Eve" special.

Carey's disaster during the annual New Year's Eve special in Times Square made international headlines after the star vocally stumbled through her short set, failing to sing for most of it despite a prerecorded track of her songs playing in the background.
