Mariah Carey only had a few days to prepare for her Saturday Night Live appearance after Janet Jackson canceled due to sickness from low record sales (more about that in a minute).

Mariah performed the second single off her E=MC² album, “Migrate” with T-Pain. Did I say “performed”? I meant to say lip synced for most of the performance. T-Pain could have stayed home in Atlanta looking like a Haitian Voodoo priest. Neither one of them impressed me with their lip syncing abilities.

But back to poor Janet. Rumor has it that Janet is “totally devastated” by the low sales of her album “Discipline”. She is said to be so disappointed that she canceled her much ballyhooed appearance on SNL due to the flu.

A source tells me that Janet really was rushed to Cedars Sinai hospital complaining of breathing difficulties. But a confidential source said Janet actually suffered a “panic attack” and has not been seen in public since.

Janet was supposed to be the in-studio guest on her boyfriend Jermaine Dupri‘s popular radio show So So Def Radio last night on V-103. But that too was canceled at the last minute, and Jermaine is reportedly in L.A. consoling Janet.

We here at Sandrarose.com hope Janet gets well soon and doesn’t take her low records sales to heart. If there’s any consolation, “Dreamgirls” is still the lowest-selling #1 album in the 16-year history of Soundscan.
