Some viewers of American Idol were less than pleased with the alleged lip-sync performance of panel judge, Mariah Carey, during the show's finale. Shortly after Candice Sullivan was crowned the next Idol, Twitter exploded with tweets of disappointment after it appeared that Carey was lip-synching during her much-anticipated act.

Going toe-to-toe with former judge Jennifer Lopez, who performed her new single Live It Up along with Pitbull, Carey belted out a medley of some of her biggest hits including Vision of Love, Make It Happen, My All, Hero, We Belong Together and her new single #Beautiful.

Fans who awaited anxiously for the self-proclaimed diva to trade her seat at the judges' table and get back on stage were less than impressed, and shared their dissatisfaction on the popular social media site:

-@MariahCarey was definitely lip syncing during her performance on #idol...I guess she's lost it, why else would she have to lip sync??
