Mariah Carey is known for her five-octave voice, her slinky dresses and her many hits, including “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Unfortunately, she is also known for her tardiness. And her behavior this week at the Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in New York won’t do anything to help that reputation. Because of her history, NBC decided to tape Carey singing her holiday classic before a live audience Tuesday night, then air it Wednesday for the network’s coverage of the 82nd annual Rockefeller Center tree lighting. But the self-titled Queen of Christmas kept the audience waiting for three hours Tuesday before NBC made the decision to cancel the performance. According to TMZ, Carey was delayed because she was meeting with her lawyer about her divorce settlement with husband Nick Cannon.
