The words "disastrous Mariah Carey TV appearance" make one think of broken legs or sparks from malfunctioning lights setting hair on fire, but unfortunately, neither of those things happened to Mariah this morning on Good Morning America. Things just went a little wrong during one of her songs - her backing track started too early and then one of her back-up singers started doing her part and Mariah scolded them mid-song. Then Mariah sort of got upset before another song when she didn't know when she was supposed to start. All-in-all it was not nearly as painful as I hoped when I started seeing mention of it in my Firefox live bookmarks.
Mariah Carey's Snafu-Ridden Good Morning America Appearance

To quote The Magnificent Ambersons, my eagerest hope is to see Mariah Carey's comeuppance.
If her comeuppance is anywhere near as fine as her legs, I hope I get to see it too. I just wish she'd quit singing.
I notice at the start of the second video Mariah is heard saying, are you folks going to give me some indication of when to go, and gets cued on by Diane Sawyer-- that circumvented her stage manager, who is supposed to communicate by headset to the assistant stage manager, who is supposed to tell the talent when to go. I think this glitch was probably because mimi doesn't follow the stage protocols necessary to run cues for lights and video and sound like this.
The reason that talent is supposed to wait for their cues is so that the stage manager can confirm from all of the different techs that everything is ready for the performance. If something was wrong in the sound booth, holding the show for a couple of seconds could have made all of the difference.
