Top 10 Best Mariah Carey Live Performances of All Time
content.jwplatform.com
Mariah Carey performed her recent concert special at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
However, a TV editing error appeared to change her hairstyle halfway through the show.
On Tuesday (20 December), Carey's "Merry Christmas to All!" special aired on CBS and featured some of her holiday classics like "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
But as she was performing one of her hit songs, "Fantasy," some eagle-eyed viewers noticed her hair turned from curly to straight in an instant.
"Look at Mariah Carey's hair. LOOK CLOSELY. Her hair goes from curly to straight. Did she perform twice before edits?" tweeted Darren M Haynes, an 11-time Emmy-winning sports director and anchor for CBS affiliate WUSA9.

\u201cLook at Mariah Carey\u2019s hair\n\nLOOK CLOSELY \n\nHer hair goes from curly to straight. Did she perform twice before edits?\u201d— Darren M. Haynes (@Darren M. Haynes) 1671589743
People took to the comment section of the post to give their take, with many writing that Carey did more than one performance before the edits.
One person wrote: "Artists do this all the time??? Tired of y'all tryna have a gotcha moment with Mariah."
"As someone who has edited a ton of multi-cam/multi-take performances for a tv show, this is pretty common. Cameras are always moving and losing focus; fans get in the way etc. It's always something. Artists sometimes do not realize not to make changes between takes/sets," another added.
However, others joked that the humidity from the stage lights caused her hair to fall.
"Local man doesn't know humidity loosens curls," a third wrote.
A fourth added: "But lemme tell you that my hair has spat in the face of science and deflated onstage in this exact amount of time, so…"

The songstress did, in fact, have two concerts filmed in the "Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to All" special.
She performed at Madison Square Garden on 13 December and at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on 11 December.
