Mariah Carey didn't want a lot for Christmas. She didn't even wish for snow. But in hindsight999 Archives she probably regrets not adding "better producers" to her humble gift list.

The American singer-songwriter-diva on Sunday blamed Dick Clark Productions for her disastrous New Year's Eve performance in Times Square.

Carey's comments -- shared in a video on Twitter -- are the first in her "own words" about the on-stage debacle.

Her representative last week similarly blamed producers for the mess-up, a charge that Dick Clark Productions has disputed.

"Listen guys, they foiled me," Carey said of her bungled performance on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.

During the show, Carey stopped singing as her pre-recorded vocals continued to play behind her. The singer said her ear monitors were "not working at all," exacerbating the strain of freezing weather, smoke from the smoke machines and raucous noise from thousands of people packed into Times Square.

"Thus it turned into an opportunity to humiliate me," Carey said in the video, promising to divulge more details at a vague, unspecified time.

"I cannot deny that my feelings are hurt, but I'm working through this," she said.

Carey added that she plans to take a hiatus from "media moments and social-media moments" as she prepares for her tour in March.
