Remember that one time when Mariah Carey could sing anything (including her own songs)? That day was not yesterday when she sang her Christmas song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" LIVE at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting. 

TMZ has isolated the vocals and WHOA! What happened?

 

Here's the deal: It didn't have to happen this way. Mariah was scheduled to pre-tape her performance but she was being such a diva that after waiting 3 hours past their set time, production got tired of waiting. They told Mariah that her performance would be live.

This is exactly the reason they pre-tape performances like this.

If you were famous and had an opportunity to be a diva, would you take it?
