Before I start, I want to wish all of you a joyous new year. May 2017 be scores better than 2016.

Now, onto last night's trending topic: Mariah Carey.
Mariah Carey has been in the business for almost 30 years. She has banged out hit after hit after hit. So, she should be able to handle any flubs that come her way, right?

Last night, Mariah Carey started her performance with 'Auld Lang Syne.' Shortly after breaking into the song, the sound system malfunctioned.
A "visibly defeated" Mariah Carey strutted her stuff back and forth on the stage, and allowed her backup dancers to perform acrobatic routines. It provided some distraction while Carey tried to figure out what to do next. Carey then said loudly that she will let the audience sing. She then said: "I'm trying to be a good sport."
Audio of her voice then continued with the song, but the mic popped on as soon as Carey said "That was--I'm leaving."

The singer decided to stay and perform her hit songs "Emotions" and "We Belong Together." Unfortunately, those performances were almost worse than "Auld Lang Syne." The subsequent performances were badly mimed, which left the audience completely baffled and horrified.

Mariah Carey took to Twitter hours later and tweeted:
"S**t happens. Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here's to making more headlines in 2017."
My Two Cents

I didn't watch the performance last night, but I saw a YouTube video of the performance earlier today. Mariah Carey has been around for quite some time. At this point in her career, she should know how to handle a situation like this. I do commend her for not running off the stage, but I think she should have handled this snafu better.

Oh, and to the people who have already made memes about her snafu, ya'll are just sh*t stirrers.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed. Here is a list of the restaurants that have closed: Bella Luna Mangia Mangia Kati Allo Old Neighborhood Restaurant Amy's Baking Company (YAY!)
