00:09so fast i just want to take a sip of tea if they let me they told me there would be tea
00:14oh it's a disaster number 10 beyonce's run-in with a fan

00:32members at beyonce's 2013 montreal concert captured a potentially show-ending mishap between queen bee
00:39and a stage-side fan a different kind of fan took took hold of her hair wouldn't let go always the
00:46consummate professional though see that fan behind her her hair is totally wrapped in it while singing
00:51halo the pop icon found that her hair had become tangled up in the fans blades her voice faltered
00:58for only an instant before she went right back to singing while her team attempted to free her from
01:04the machine's grip she never stopped singing halo even as crew members are cutting her hair out of
01:11the fan that cannot feel good and yet she never lost pitch the clips quickly went viral beyonce was a
01:21good sport about it rewriting some of the song's lyrics to address the event in an instagram post
01:27number nine nikki minaj's zipper trouble at the mtv video music awards
01:36the chart-topping rapper is one of the most confident and audacious artists out there
01:41but a distracting wardrobe malfunction at the 2014 mtv vmas shook her confidence
02:00as nikki minaj ran on stage to join jesse jay and ariana grande for their huge hit bang bang viewers
02:07noticed she was holding the front of her dress the entire time as she told ellen degeneres afterwards
02:13her zipper busted while doing a quick change from the outfit she wore during her anaconda performance
02:19and there was no time to fix it before her cue she put in a good performance but it's easy to tell
02:25she was distracted it was a i don't know no but knowing that and seeing how calm and collected you
02:31were walking holding your outfit together with nothing on underneath it and singing in front of
02:37millions of people yeah pretty calm you know i think you handle it really really well number eight
02:43sears good morning america performance chandelier is probably one of the most vocally demanding pop songs
02:49those incredibly high and powerful notes don't come easy even for the artist who wrote and first
02:55performed it in fact sia is known for her voice cracks they're a part of her style but during this
03:102016 performance on good morning america her voice didn't just crack it was gone
03:28she struggled through her hit song with some expletives and frustration creeping into the
03:33performance sia copped to being incredibly nervous beforehand she was afraid she didn't have the
03:38voice to hit her usual notes that day whatever was going on with her voice it's a performer's worst
03:43nightmare number seven iggy azalea's audio issues on dancing with the stars she's so fancy but not when
04:01she can't hear the track australian rapper iggy azalea appeared on the season 18 finale of
04:08dancing with the stars millions were tuning in and the pressure was high when she started performing
04:13too early she suddenly panicked and told the crowd there was something wrong with her earpiece
04:28instead of rapping behind the beat she just silently made her way down the stairs as the track kept
04:34playing she didn't start again until the chorus by then it was time for charlie xcx to come out and
04:40save the show
04:47well there is one upside at least we know she wasn't lip-syncing
04:52number six madonna at the eurovision song contest
05:09the eurovision song contest garners millions of viewers a year in 2019 over 182 million people across
05:16the world tuned in to see four hours of euro pop goodness and they had a huge guest for the year's
05:22half-time performance the queen of pop herself madonna performed a medley of her hits across the
05:28decades however it didn't exactly go as planned
05:31madonna's pitchy and off-key performance was a shocker it also heavily overshadowed her would-be
05:45controversial on-stage political statement a heavily pitch corrected version later appeared
05:50on madonna's official youtube channel but anyone who tuned in live heard what really went down
05:59so
06:04number five mariah carey on dick clark's new year's rocking eve ringing in the year 2017
06:12turned disastrous once the song emotion started to play mariah carey instantly realized something
06:18was wrong she began telling the crowd she couldn't hear the track
06:21just walk me down
06:27well happy new year
06:31we can't hear but i'll just get through the motion okay
06:35the technical failure led to her spending the whole song half-heartedly doing some choreography
06:41and commenting on how they didn't have a soundcheck watching carrie narrate her frustrations is almost
06:46as entertaining as the planned performance would have been we're missing some of this
06:51we'll go but it is
06:59i'm gonna say let the audience sing okay unfortunately she faced a lot of blowback for
07:04the disastrous performance and there were some competing narratives about what went wrong but
07:09it didn't stop her from returning with a real powerhouse performance the following year
07:22number four fergie's national anthem performance at the nba all-star game
07:27what separates many musicians is style that's why we have our favorite renditions of the star
07:33spangled banner but that's also why it can go very very wrong
07:44fergie in the 2018 nba all-star game is a perfect example the former black-eyed peas
07:50vocalist definitely put her own spin on the national anthem
07:53her jazzy groaning approach was definitely a choice dropping entire letters from the ends of
08:05words and sending her voice on side quests she created an instant viral classic the players were
08:11actively trying not to laugh but by the end it was impossible not to artistic license is one thing
08:17this was a misfire of epic proportions but sometimes a bad performance is its own reward
08:32number three ashley simpson's lip-sync on snl
08:41bombing on the saturday night live stage is no laughing matter ashley simpson found that out during
08:47her 2004 appearance taking the stage for her second song of the episode her vocals on pieces of me
08:54began to play the problem was she'd already sung that track earlier that night she had lip-synced and
09:06was planning to do so again for her second performance her awkward jig as she leaves the stage just puts a
09:12period on the cringe simpson explained the incident by blaming her band at the end of the episode later
09:19she explained that she woke up with no voice and lip-synced as a last resort it was a blemish on her
09:25burgeoning career that didn't go away for a while i had the number one song it was like everything was about
09:32to go like somewhere and then it was just like whoa the humility of not even understanding what grown-ass
09:41people would say about you like growing awful awful things that must have been really hard it was so
09:48hard oh my god number two millie vanilli's track skips on club mtv fab morvin and rob pilates were taking
09:56the world by storm in 1989 known by the name millie vanilli the duo were one of many groups formed by
10:11super producer frank farian an infamous club mtv performance made clear what people already suspected
10:18their hit song girl you know is true began skipping revealing that they were lip-syncing the whole time
10:32this led to a snowball effect farian revealed that they had not even sung on their own records although
10:39he was pulling the strings morvan and pilates shouldered the brunt of the criticism this culminated
10:45in having their grammy award rescinded their careers never recovered people were just not
10:51that interested in the spectacle anymore

11:32music television and sports history you knew it was going to happen right you didn't know it was going
11:37to happen no i didn't you didn't know it was going to happen so it came as a complete surprise to you
11:44yes really yes it was totally an accident it wasn't a stunt at the end of their electric super
11:50bowl halftime show in 2004 justin timberlake was supposed to tear away a piece of janet jackson's costume
11:56a little too much tore away suddenly for a split second jackson's bare breast was broadcast live to
12:03millions so he was supposed to pull that off and we just see the red yes there and he ripped the
12:09whole thing so he he had you practiced or whatever before yes we did uh-huh and so the moment that
12:15happened you immediately covered your breast because you didn't want to be exposed if you'd
12:20wanted to be exposed you wouldn't have covered it exactly okay very embarrassing moment needless to say
12:25this violated the fcc's rules about indecency in television broadcasts cbs was fined as a result
12:32timberlake escaped a lot of scrutiny but jackson's career and reputation took a major hit you think
