Mariah Carey Refuses To Sing Live On ‘Fame Academy’

The Sun reports that BBC bosses are furious with Mariah Carey for refusing to sing live on ‘Fame Academy’. “They pleaded with her to sing but she insisted on miming,” said a member of the audience in Friday’s show. “The ironic thing was the poor contestants still had to perform her backing vocals live.” While Shania Twain and Lionel Ritchie have appeared and performed live, Mariah was the first to refuse.
