Her choreography, specifically, has come under criticism and taken on a new life as a meme.
Anthony Burrell, Careys former choreographer and creative director, thinks he knows the reason behind the change.
Its just typical Mariah, Burrell toldComplexin an interview.
Mariah is clear: When she doesnt wanna do something, she doesnt do it.
Shes performing with lackluster and no fs given, and its taking away her star.
You always have to keep in mind that theyre a singer first.
The priority is not teaching them 100 counts of eight, or endless routines.
He also claimed Careys team isnt helping.
Youre a legend, but you dont care, your team doesnt care, he said.
Theyre not guiding and directing her.
Shes back to where she was before.
Its not like shes never looked this bad before; I just stepped her game up.
A rep for Carey did not immediately respond to EWs request for comment.
I was very vocal about things that werent right.
Some of the dancers her team hired are great dancers, but theyre not choreographers or creative directors.
