MARIAH Carey is still talking about her disastrous New Year’s Eve performance nearly two months later.

“I don’t even want to bring this up too much, but whatever ... the New Year’s Eve situation — that couldn’t be helped,” she said, in an interview with Rolling Stone.

“If I can’t explain it to the entire world, then they’re not going to understand it, because it’s not what they do. Just like I wouldn’t understand somebody who had a desk job and how to do that. I couldn’t. I literally am incapable of being in the real world and surviving,” she confessed.

Carey’s manager blamed Dick Clark Productions, which produced the show, and fired her lead choreographer.

Carey also continues to point the finger. “This was out of my control, and had everything not been such a total chaotic mess, then I would have been able to make something happen ... I’m sorry ... I blame everybody, and I blame myself for not leaving after rehearsal.”
