People saying she made mistakes with the lyrics, she's only human she's going to make mistakes but what's unique about this performance is the emotion she put into it, with a song like this it would be hard for anyone to do what she's done, she's very talented!
I laugh when I read trolls....they will always exist....never listen or care about negative people with negative chatter. They always have empty lives..... #nuffsaid
People who say this performance is horrible are very bias or they don't like Demi or is a Mariah stan. Fine she made a few lyrical mistakes but she hit every note and her falsetto was brilliant and firm. Guys she was only 20 years old when she performed this and might I add, she was sick that night. I rest my case.
why are people commenting that she was sick, its like you guys are looking for an excuse which is stupid because she did amazing and this performance is like my favourite christmas song
mellynumerounoo o Mariah can still sing it. Listen to her sing it on Jimmy Fallon's show; she can still sing it in the same key and everything. Just don't listen to that other performance that was a major hot ass mess.
I think that you usually can recognize a brilliant band, these fellas are awesome! *watch?v=js6TBze6vNA* I say it is superb! You might want to youtube it
Love It !! Amazing version, she rocked the stage... really like the way she sings the song, and the beautiful vocals that she add !! Beautiful... like an Angel singing
I just returned from these folks show and guess what? They were really outstanding! *watch?v=kFDMJa_fZt0* It is freaking superb! Remember to look at the video URL
I like this one MUCH more than Ariana's. For one thing, she can actually pronounce words correctly. She also has more soul and power in her voice. It wasn't perfect, but it still tops Ariana in my opinion.
teppolundgren first, you trying to use fag as an insult makes me laugh because of the mess of society we have now. Second, I'm straight, that was just a joke about how much I like how she sings and how I adore her, because I'm a Lovatic. Third, what I dream or what I don't is my thing, not yours :)
LIDIA GOMEZ You have no sense of humor, I take it? Well, I'm not surprised. Only someone overly serious would take my previous comment seriously. Even though you deserved it...
Thank you so much for this, been looking for the full performance everywhere! WOW... I know Demi has an amazing voice but she never ceases to amaze me! And she had bronchitis there?! INCREDIBLY AMAZING!!! So proud of Demetria ♥
Reyshawnta Brown Im not hating, just speaking the truth. I love Demi's music too but this rendition pales in comparison to Mariah's cracked version. LOL
Demi is great. But I personally think Mariah Carey's version is better, that is if you are looking for something simple and sweet. Demi's riffs were kind of a little too much, especially in the beginning. But still great! Not trying to hate, just stating my opinion. Don't reply to this comment if you are gonna say something rude or annoying. Thanks ;)
I don't hear any auto tune??? This was a live performance...and she wasn't sick. Her singing is great. Yeah, she is a little shaky, but that's because she's performing in the presence of the PRESIDENT. Anyone would be a little nervous.
Kwan Sweet when did she say this? Tweet? Interview? Any quotes to back this up? I'm not trying to be rude, but I sincerely would like to know cause I was watching this when it aired in December 2012. I just get tired of fellow Lovatics claiming that Demi was "sick" in performances, as if she didn't do her best. I know there have been instances when Demi was actually sick, but some fans blow it out of proportion and use it as an excuse. So please, if she did say she was sick, I'd love for you to respond with some kind of evidence that she was sick. Thank you. :)
First of all, Demi didn't sing this, thinking she would be better than Mariah... She just sang a song that she likes in her own way... And I'm sure she wasn't trying to sing like Mariah! Second, Mariah might have a better voice, but I still prefer Demi's version... It annoys the crap out of me when singers keep elongating every note of the song just to show their voices, and Mariah does that a lot. I mean, she is great, but I absolutely hate this! Even Demi annoyed me a little in the beginning when she was like "all I want for christmaaaaaaaaas... issssss... youuuuuu"... But she only did this in the beginning, so I liked the rest!
Junior Rassino I didn't say she is better, I said I like her version better, like in MY OWN OPINION. Not a fact, you know! I think we are allowed to like one singer more than the other, you know. I hope we live in a free world where we can express our opinions FREELY!
This was a beautiful rendition, and Demi looked gorgeous. I didn't realize her voice had become so strong and just her person in general. She really looks great!
