The Daily Mail has just compiled a list of disastrous performances by world music stars, following Lionel Richie's recent incident.
Although the 73-year-old singer did not make any serious performance mistakes, many viewers found it disappointing. Some compared the veteran singer's performance to someone singing karaoke in a pub.
Lionel Richie criticized for disappointing performance at recent concert
Before Lionel Richie, in 2016, famous singer Mariah Carey also caused a shock at the New Year's Eve concert in Times Square in New York - USA. After completing the first song "Aude Lang Syne" (which was said to be lip-syncing), a series of incidents happened to Mariah Carey. She was surrounded by dancers and a sea of people, and started complaining that she couldn't sing when the song "Emotions" started. She was confused and couldn't sing along, so she walked around the stage to talk to the audience.
Mariah Carey shocks with lip-syncing
As the confusion grew, Mariah Carey continued to talk off topic to the audience. In the final song "We belong together", Mariah Carey seemed to sing better, but surprisingly, when she let go of the microphone about a third of the way through the song, the lyrics still echoed. After that, she still tried to lip-sync the entire song.
Disappointment quickly spread on social networking site Twitter. Some people expressed outrage at their idol's lip-syncing... Mariah Carey later expressed her sadness on Twitter with the message: "Wishing everyone a healthy and happy new year! So, I will be the center of attention for 2017."
Mariah Carey defended herself by saying that life doesn't always go according to plan. In response to criticism, her spokesperson said that the singer did not lip-sync, but that there was a technical error. In addition, the teleprompter did not work properly. All of this made the performance a disaster. In response to this defense, the technical company denied the accusation.
Singer Ashlee Simpson was caught lip-syncing by playing the wrong song during her appearance on Saturday Night Live in 2004.
Ashlee Simpson was supposed to sing "Autobiography" but when she put the microphone to her mouth, the song "Piece of Me" that she had just finished playing came on. She looked around confusedly for a few seconds before focusing on her choreography. She ended up leaving the stage mid-song.

The performance was criticized and Ashlee Simpson later blamed the musicians for playing the wrong song and she didn't know what to do so she had to dance. The show's representative explained that the CD was a backing track to "thicken" Ashlee Simpson's voice when singing on stage.
Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong also had a bad performance due to violent behavior at the 2012 iHeartRadio music festival. While Green Day was performing passionately, Billie Joe Armstrong discovered that their performance was cut off early due to scheduling conflicts.
Billie Joe Armstrong couldn't control his anger.
He then started shouting and using profanity in front of the audience and smashing his guitar. The organizers had to quickly cut off the singer's microphone. This shocking action forced the band Green Day to apologize to the audience.
Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie "peeed her pants" during a performance with the band in 2005. She called it the most unattractive moment of her life.
Later, when recalling her embarrassing on-stage incident, Fergie said that she had rushed to get on stage and did not have enough time to use the restroom beforehand.
Fergie and the embarrassing incident
"We got to the stage late and there was traffic so everything was rushed. When we got there, we had to start the show right away. I sang the first song and went crazy. I was running and jumping with all the excitement in my body and oh my god… I wished it didn't happen. I felt so embarrassed!" - Fergie expressed.
