Star Vids: The Neighborhood Ball Performances

So I don't know if it was just me, but the performances last night at the Neighborhood Ball were not that good.

First Mary J. Blige seemed to be out of breath the whole time and hit a few bum notes:

Mary J Blige - Just Fine (Live at the Neighborhood Ball)

Then Alicia Keys decided to try something new with the "No One" chorus. She probably should have left well enough alone:
X
Alicia Keys- No One (Live Inauguration Neighborhood Ball)

Then there was the disaster that was the group song. Make sure to watch for Mariah not knowing when to come in or any of the words. And why in the hell did Bono, Faith Hill, and Alicia Keys just randomly start screaming? Mary did good though:

Mary J Blige, Maroon 5, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, will.i.am, Shakira, Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, Sting, Jay-Z - Sealed Delivered

X
Lol @ Shakira!
X
And the worst ship wreck of the night goes to...Mariah Carey trying to sing "Hero". Listen for yourself:

Mariah Carey -Hero (Live In at the Neighborhood Ball)

I've said it before and I will say it again. She needs to quit while she is ahead. These horrible performances are killing her legacy as one of the greatest singers of all time. It's actually kind of sad:(

Wow! Mariah did not sound good at al. I didn't really see the problem with Mary and Alicia though
