Festive diva Mariah Carey continued to live up to her billing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon early this morning.
Making a surprise appearance on the show, the 42 year old turned in a unique rendition of her Holiday classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ – backed by host Fallon, house-band The Roots, and a choir of children, all of which used classroom instruments.
Confused? Think Christina Aguilera‘s similarly-themed “performance” of ‘Your Body’ last month.
How did Mariah fare? The answer awaits after the jump…
Mariah nailed it!
Though not delivered with the ease of her heyday, Mimi still turned in a vocal that auto-qualifies her as one of the best active voices in the game today. Great performance.
A re-vocaled version of ‘All I Want’ features on ’Merry Christmas II You’, the singer’s 2010 Holiday album.
The said LP is being re-promoted this year in a smart bid to add to its Gold certified sales. A move, which as relayed many a time, is particularly savvy in that it gives the project a potentially infinite lifecycle. What’s more, it awards the set the ability to add to its sales not just this Christmas – but every Christmas. Make that money, Mimi!

Hey, I´m not here to disrespect somebody. I just told my opinion. Nobody copies Mariah !!! Tell me who copies Mariah ?? And yes Mariahs performance looks exactly the same like Xtinas and if you deni it then youre blind. Xtina was the first one who performed like that so is everything after a copy !!!

You know little about Xtina singing technique she has, since the beginning, tried to emulate Mariah’s technique, runs, melisma, etc but failed to do so……just accept it and move on.

My Favorite Christmas song that I listen to throughout the entire year…..Mariah did really well. I love when all of the studio tricks are taken away and the only thing that is front and center is the artist’s voice. Her voice sounds amazing!!!

FUCK YOU ALL HATERS!
Mariah 100% SLAYED! if Mariah were copying Christina she would have screamed like a dying cow and gone off pitch every other note.
This clip is all kinds of great because it shows that Mariah still has it while y’alls faves can’t even stay in tune, and shows the real size of her voice – small to medium in volume – but though a smaller instrument, it never becomes ugly/distorted/strained/grainy as she projects over the music the way that a basic lesser bitch like Christina’s voice does as she pushes her voice beyond its natural volume (medium).
Christina does not have a big voice by nature. She just doesn’t. Big voices bloom in beauty as they sing louder (Whitney, Aretha, etc) while the smaller voice are the ones that become ugly and distorted when pushed to sing beyond their limits.

You are so pressed and that’s sad. I want you to know that I’m not pressed by you commenting about Christina, but I’m noticing how obsessed you are with her on every post!
If you don’t care about her, then why do you make comments deliberately bashing and making insults.
Don’t think I’m stalking you either, this is a Christina post and I’m a fan. Get The Hint?

Xtina is not singing Opera MRDB…. Yes the same principles apply, but she does not sing classical music… I wish she did, I think she would sing way better and I think her voice would be mesmerizing on classical pieces. But Xtina is still a unique talent….

Honeychil’ nobody is asking XXLtina to sing “Casta Diva” like Maria Callas. My only expectation is that If you are gonna call yourself “a powerhouse vocalist” and allow your team and stans to call you “the voice of our generation”, you:
A) Can sing at least 2 octaves without straining or weakness
B) Can stay in tune singing live, especially given the amount of experience she has throughout the years.

Listen anyone who says Mariah has lost is is just pure ignorant. Mariah clearly just gets serious when she wants to.
Does she need to respect her status and get more serious about her singing again? YES!
But who tells the #1 Female Singer of all time what to do at 42?
We all know if Mariah started being serious about vocal training and rest like she use to none of these bitches would have a clue what to do!
