From the first note Mariah sings, you can just tell how AMAZING her voice is - the purity and pitch-perfect clarity, more than any other singer out there. Like Annie Lennox said in an interview shortly after this performance, "Oh my God, I've never heard a voice like that!"
Annie Lennox doesn't get enough credit. Her agility, musicianship and ability to shine proves you don't have to be a soprano to give a great performance
I really envy the musicality of the Queen of Christmas coz who else did 2 Christmas album with original songs in it is there anyone aside from her? Shes the only artist i know of who made 2 successful Christmas album.....ICONIC and LEGENDARY PERIOD....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The experience I had there was great. Getting to meet the stars for this show was really kewl! :) I enjoyed being in Christmas in Washington and can't wait till this year! Oh yea, I'm that light skinned kid at 01:11 making funny faces. :P
Hey commenter from 7 years ago, they were having fun together on a yacht this labor day and they sung along to Prince's song, so perhaps they might do something in the future!
See I used to think by 2010 Mariah was a great singer but pretty average. Loool how the hell was I this wrong? She is unreal. When she dies she won’t rest in peace, she’ll be too busy using her vocals as an angel 😇
Thank god for Mariah Carey. After Matthew Morrison damn near butchering O Holy Night, Mariah just starts O Come All Ye Faithful with jaw-dropping purity. Of course the climactic vocals are lip-synched/dubbed, but where she sings live is truly stunning, the live belt at the end, gorgeous. Good rest and no alcohol consumption really did her well during her pregnancy.
Agree with Mariah's voice being a refreshing treat after Matthew's. I don't think the climax is dubbed, though. This was truly live. Notice that she was unable to do the climactic high note from the studio version at the very end, and kind of moved awkwardly to the side, probably to indicate that that was all she ever intended to sing.
A rock and roll version of "Joy To The World"?!? Sacrilegious! None of the soloists thrilled me, especially in the case of Carey, who's never been a singer in my book.
Thank you president ibama and Michele Obama and your wonderful children you really are an outstanding family and role models for the whole world to see thank you I'm taking a long vacation with Mariah Carey and her children gonna have the grandest wedding Iwell be inviting you and your family and president biden vice president Harris senator peloski senator Maggie hasden Angus king and I'm sure other from the white house and capital and the royal family is gonna be invited the Kennedys and I'm sure other rulers to please have a very truly heartfelt merry Christmas with your entire family thank you
That look of amazement (in different facial expressions) from Maxwell and Annie Lennox. While of course, as usual, Obama hates Mariah. Tee hee. He's always avoided any opportunity to give her any praise.
This was an over ending to a wonderful show. Mariah, Maxwell and matthew took over the song. I didnt like Mirandas voice. Maxwell was amazing and he was feelin it.
It's her style, plus she is always musically accurate when she executes them, which is really hard. Unlike any other singer who does runs, hers display musicianship and that is to be appreciated and not overlooked.
