Mariah Carey Previews ‘Merry Christmas II You’ On HSN

Published: Wednesday 20th Oct 2010 by Trent

Mariah Carey visited the Home Shopping Network this morning to provide an exclusive preview of her new album, ‘Merry Christmas II You’. The 5 octave songbird debuted several tracks from the record including some of the new material she wrote for the project. Check out the footage below:

‘Little Drummer Boy’/’O Come All Ye Faithful’

‘The First Noel’/’Oh Santa’

Carey just took it to church and washed us in the creek. Vocally she is on a completely different level from anything that she (or any other singer) has done it years and the arrangements of the tracks are incredible. Regardless of sales, the project seems to be a magnificent piece of work.

  2. EmotionsLamv October 20, 2010

    WOW! The Voice is there, many people hate on her, but vocally she is the only one from the 90’s diva era that still has her voice. IDC what this sales but vocally it’s on point! And the producing is hott too!

  3. Richard October 20, 2010

    Thank god Mariah went through vocal therapy; it’s doing wonders to her voice! She’s totally pulling a Mary J. Blige (remember cracked out Mary’s voice?)

    Another classic.

  7. Sarah October 20, 2010

    Mariah sounds incredible! I just hope when it comes time for her to perform those songs live next month, that she’ll sound just as great. I can’t wait for this album.

  8. Boricua October 20, 2010

    I SERIOUSLY LOVE MARIAH I SAT THROUGH EVERY CLIP AND WAS NOT BORED AT ALL SHE IS SO FUNNY LMAO

  15. Bobby Rae October 20, 2010

    @SARAH & BORICUA the song is right there…

    O Come All Ye Faithful was a vocal performance!! Wow! I am blown away! I honestly didn’t think she could still sing like that….!!

  16. Kevin October 20, 2010

    @xtinaarmy why do you shade a legend when your fav is the biggest flop of the decade….?

  17. Beyonce-Stan October 20, 2010

    I guess the studio editing button is back in full affect. Mariah cannot sing good live, but she works miracles in the studio. I bet she thanks god for vocal technology everyday

  18. Richard October 20, 2010

    Beyonce Stan.. sit down lol. You obviously didn’t watch the videos from Mariah’s shows in Vegas last year, or to her recent show in Brazil. Mariah’s voice is on the comeback.

  19. Jay October 20, 2010

    I believe she shitted on all of her bashers…and haters…and doubters with one whole album..and we havnt even heard all of it….SHE STRAIGHT shitted on them……mariahs voice may be a little rough on the edges…but you gotta admit…THE B**** STILL HAS ALL OF HER RANGE AND TRICKS..

  20. CIARADABESS October 20, 2010

    i wasnt going to buy this… but after this preview im definately gettin a copy!!!!!!

  21. sugarwalls October 20, 2010

    She will make my christmas merrier!!!

  22. TheMan4u October 20, 2010

    some of the clips are hot, o come all Ye faithful sounds like a winner, but ALOT can be done in the studio, she is going to have to be able to produce it live to convince its all her and not studio tricks

  23. Sarah October 20, 2010

    I hope she can pulls those songs off live! I would die since she sounds so incredible on these tracks but wouldn’t be able to pull them off live! But I have strong faith in Mariah and I know she’s gonna have those chops nice and rested for her upcoming Christmas performances.

    She won’t disappoint because she’s gonna be in her heat room and getting all of the vocal rest she needs.

  24. CIARADABESS October 20, 2010

    wow 5000 units of her album sold in 14 mins… not bad!!!
    if she keeps up at this rate she show sell around 20,000,000 in her 1st week!

    @CIARADABESS

    Keep in mind the ad says customers can return the product after jan/2011 for full refund. So course pepo will download the cd and then send in fir full refund. Hence, the initial sales. LOL. Another fact Trentisha will deny – and try to delete!!

  27. Jay October 20, 2010

  38. Mya October 20, 2010

    I’m not gonna lie, I’ve heard better. I am kind of disappointed.

  39. The R***** October 20, 2010

    I bet all of these positive comments are coming fro one person *hint hint*

  40. chile please! October 20, 2010

    @ Beyonce-Stan I so agree…….even though I didn’t hear the songs yet. I feel you 100%. Mariah ain’t got it like that no more. They be tweekin’ the s*** out of her voice in the studio…..I won’t be sold on anything from her until I hear it live.

  41. Slick October 20, 2010

    That was incredible!!! To all the people talking BS take a hike. She has come and has dilivered and trust thats all us fans care about. SO go listen to your BYe, riri or whoever it is you like and buzz off.
    BTW Trent Thank you for posting this it made my day!! =)

  42. LondonDiva October 20, 2010

    I’m a faithful MC fan and have been for 20 years. Will take a listen later and give an un-biased opinion.

    -From a fan NOT delusional stan who isn’t afraid to admit and acknowledge if a MC song/vocal isn’t all that good.

  43. Keesha October 20, 2010

    I don’t understand why people doubt Mariah. We already know that she can sing, it’s just that she needs to rest her voice from time to time. The reason why in the past few years she hadn’t necessarily sounded her best live, is due simply to that fact.

  44. Keesha October 20, 2010

    And *DEAD* at Trent’s tweets on twitter about Mariah and a certain no-talent model from the islands!

  45. Keesha October 20, 2010

    @The R***** Your name says it all.

  46. Darren October 20, 2010

    omg amazing vocals!!!!

  47. KNUCK October 20, 2010

    SHE SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! THE PRODUCTION IS WINNING!!!!

    AT THIS POINT I DON’T CARE IF THEY CUTTING AND PASTING IN THE STUDIO. WHEN IT ALL COMES TOGETHER SHE STILL SHITTIN ON THE INDUSTRY!! WHO IS EVER DOIN IT??

    I’M NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING!!

  48. Nothing But My Opinion October 20, 2010

    i love Mariah the album is great and she looks so pretty.

  49. Robier October 20, 2010

    GET IT MARIAH!!!! REALLY REALLY GOOD

  50. You’re MAD October 20, 2010

  52. MUSIC LOVER October 20, 2010

    All the fucken haters need to get the f*** out with their stupid ass comments. Every singer has their voice tweeked in the studio, that’s what it’s used for, idiots. Secondly who cares if they do, she still cranks out those high notes in the studio even if she can’t necessarily hit ALL of them in live performances. If it’s that easy, why the f*** doesn’t Rihanna hit any higher octaves than she usually does, or Beyonce hit the whistle register, or any of your other favorites hit the notes Mariah does…. BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AND SHE CAN. Get the f*** over yourselves. Anyways Christmas and Mariah are on ithe way! =D

  53. Slick October 20, 2010

    these vocal runs are crazy good! we havent heard her sing like this since TEOM. Im very critical of her and honest and i am just really happy with this!

  54. chachilewinsky October 20, 2010

    Some of you people, Really need to be educated ! A singers Vocal chords are like muscles if Over worked, they get tired & worn out ! Also if you don’t have the proper vocal rest & sleep..it can also cause problems ! Im a mariah carey fan & she over works her vocal chords alott..Home girl be saaaaangin !!! & sometimes she doesn’t have the proper vocal rest because us LAMBS know….Miss mariah carey is a joker..she likes to laugh & have a good time..its really hard for her to be quiet at times & besides all of that she has Nodules (a bump) on her Vocal chords !! Which also doesn’t help…But when Mariah is well rested & her vocal chords aren’t over worked..There is NO SINGER that can Sing Better !!! She is The one, The only Ms MariahCarey !!!!

  55. Bee October 20, 2010

    OMG YEEESSSSSSSSSSSS! Literally have goosebumps. Wow. Only Mariah.

  56. iLoveXtina October 20, 2010

    WOOOOO she has me in the Christmas spirit in the middle of October!

  57. The Truth October 20, 2010

    mariah’s vocals sound like a studio creation to me, when she sings live (the rare times) she sounds much huskier and her tone is much deeper and lower. But on her recent albums, she sounds so high pitched like a chipmunk, even compared to her debut album. I have no doubt that she does some tricks to make her voice sounds younger, higher and more impressive that it currently is. That’s why she lipsynchs.

  58. The Truth October 20, 2010

    Mariah is not da greatest singer, her studio editor is

  59. ~TeAM WeeZY~ October 20, 2010

    YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS! That was amazing! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! <3

    Merry Christmas.

  60. DMWN October 20, 2010

    Mariah is a studio singer. You know so good and f****** well that when she goes on TV to perform ANY of these tracks live, it WON’T sound half as good as it does on the album. Quit diluting yourselves into thinking that she’s back in vocal form. Her voice has been gone since 1997. It ain’t coming back.

  61. Sarah October 20, 2010

    The Truth, STFU. I bet you stan for a certain ex-crack head who I won’t bother to mention but she definitely can’t sing anymore.

    When Mariah shuts it down during her holiday specials, you’ll be one of the one’s feeling like a complete idiot.

  62. Robier October 20, 2010

    THIS IS BOUGHT

  63. Gene. October 20, 2010

    Im sooo happy.

    Its about quality Mimi, NOT quantity! RE: MEMOIRS *smh*

  64. The Truth October 20, 2010

    Mariah can’t even belt out the bridge of “Hero” live anymore, much less in the same key as the recording. Of course she uses studio tricks, there’s a lot of cut and paste jobs in her studio work, including this Christmas album. I’ll be impressed when she can sing this all 100% live.

  65. The Truth October 20, 2010

    @Sarah the only crack head I know is your momma. U must 4get dat Mariah is a fat pile of shyt dat gets drunk and falls out on stages. Its funny u say “a certain crackhead” cant sing any more” when Mariah’s vocals were never as real as this “crackhead” either.

  66. WATEVA October 20, 2010

    “Miss Patty Patty” gif says it all
    LOL @ Mariah’s speaking
    voice haha! its sounds sooo
    halarious to me!

  67. WATEVA October 20, 2010

    hilarious***

  68. Lee October 20, 2010

    So she sounds amazing, as she does 98% of the time in her 20yr career, and now it’s fake? She delt with this in 1990 and SLAYED with MTV unplugged. Some of you just need to stop being bitter. She is vocally on another level then her peers, that is fact. She defiantly took it to church with this. her fly like a bird perforamce in 06, epic. She is at her best on songs that will show off her vocal prowess, not songs like obsessed.

  69. THE ONE October 20, 2010

    YES YES MARIAH YOU HAVE DONE IT ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!! SINGING YOUR HEART OUT!!!! I CANT wait to purchase this album on the Nov 2!!! Hell I might give a few out as gifts, its really worth having!! Not many true artist left.

  70. The Truth October 20, 2010

    @Lee, 90% of the time she sounds amazing? You are truly delusional and lying to yourself if you actually believe that. You xannot b da best when u r a fraud in the studio, and when she does sing live she cannot produce. This is why her peers Celine and Whitney trumps her. Celine and Whitney are LIVE singers, more-so Whitney.

    Whitney in her prime up to 2000 could not b matched vocally by anyone. Celine lipsings but not as much as Mariah, and Celine does rely on studio editing. If Mariah can fake the album cover with heavy editing, than she is prone to fake her vocals which I can tell she has done with just the tiny snippets.

    The high notes in “oh Santa” are too chipmunk sounding to be real. What Mariah did is used a some of her 90s vocals and mixed them in with her current vocals and edit them to platinum 2010. You ppl are so gullable

  71. Slick October 20, 2010

    To the people talking garbage, she has nothing to prove anymore. She has done it all. Even if this is studio magic I dont care. she has done a great job . As for her singing she can sing better then most artist in the game.

  72. THE ONE October 20, 2010

    @ THE TRUTH please post a pic of yourself on the net and then talk junk!!! I bet a million you look at hot mess!!!!! LOL, but its ok you’re hating on someone who doesn’t even know you exist!! On ever post about this woman you put up a neagtive comment stupid, if you dont like her as much as you say do, you wouldnt waste your time would you with your, simple, ignorant, childish, hellbound A**!!! Get a life you are such a joke and any one else like you!!! People like you spread hate and negativity!!! Your day will come trust in that!!

  73. THE ONE October 20, 2010

    @ The Truth what singer doen’t use studio technology? Shows how dumb you are with that statement!!! And the sad part is they cant sing no where near the register Maraih is in, nor are their songs complex at all! Its clear you no nothing about music, probably dont know what a c major scale is and your trying to critique a song!!! Thang stop!! LOL Your a nobody with to much to say!!!! With your busted looking self!!

  74. THE ONE October 20, 2010

    @ The Truth LMAO your making a fool of yourself, which I’ am sure its hard for you to do!!! how are you going to talk about Mariah, and than trun your ignorant logic around and say when whitney was in her prime? LMAO In that case lets talk about mariah in her prime. Or better yet go look up comment from fans who attended Whitney’s show in Europe LOL, I Iike her as well, so its not a disc to whtiney just showing you how off your logic or lack of is!!! How much education have you received? 6th or 8th grade level? LOL Thats given you to much! Your so so lame!!

  75. Beysus October 20, 2010

    she isnt that fat just a little chunky lol but seriously she looks good for 40

  76. THE ONE October 20, 2010

    @ The Truth also please use musical trem when you are discussion the structure of a song or musical body of work. New Flash, Chipmunk doesnt do that ok!!! I will educate yo so you can at least have a vague idea of what you are speaking of!!!!!! AS of now you are really dumb, and ignornat!! Maybe if you spent your time with your head in a book, instead of talking about Mariah on ever post you seek out of her, you would have some substance!! Good day Thang!!!

  77. UGh October 20, 2010

    Mariah is the truth and that gif is hilarious ……….lmao

  78. Beysus October 20, 2010

    Mariah still got it (if she can still sing like this why did she give us the autotune BS Obsessed. im sick of her trying to sound young, she needs to stick with what got her to the top)

  79. Slick October 20, 2010

    some people are simply talking bs just to throw shade nothing more. But the fact is Mariah is one of the most talented artist in history, so deal with it. I can appreciate some songs by other artist like Bey and Ri, and dont feel the need to talk crap about them.
    Mariah has put her all into this and i am just really happy with it

  80. The Truth October 20, 2010

    @TheOne if you do not know what a chipmunk sound like, then I cannot help you. It was the best way for me to describe it as such, cause that is what it sound like. There has never been a human that can pitch such a note like that. It is un-human and NOT REAL! For you to think you are some sort of vocal expert, you should be able to point out her editing.

    Yes all singers use editing, but Mariah uses more then just that, she totally takes it to a level of producing fraudulent vocals, which is why she is an epic fail live. And she has been doing it since 97. Mariah cannot get on stage with any other diva and outsing them. Whenever she duets, she always gets trumped vocally.

    Alot od ppl in the industry are put on to Mariah, and it is evident she is not the “vocalist” everyone thinks she is.

    Last, show me a pic of u, I bet ur just as fat and pale as Mariah lol

  81. Slick October 20, 2010

    Beysus, I think she puts out songs like obsessed because she wants to put out fun songs and have a good time. I love her voice but I wont deny it is a fragile instrument. I dont expect/want all her songs to be belted but 2 or 3 (per album) keep me happy. She is a extremely hard working artist and people fail to realize that. More importantlty she is a very palyful down to earth person who really cares about her fans.

  82. Wake Up Six October 21, 2010

    MARIAH WAS SANNNNNNGGGGIIIING!!!!

  83. TheRealTruth October 21, 2010

    @The Truth The real truth is that Mariah just slayed. If there existed so much studio magic Why didn’t Whitney use it in her album production, or on her tour cause that was a vocal flop of epic porportions. Don’t come and shade Mariah. She’s been faking it for 20 years really?? “Fly Like A Bird “, “I Wish You Well”, recent tour clips live in Brazil, Vegas, The AA Tour, She sung her face off and it was live. I’m a real fan and can say her voice is different and sometimes weaker than the 90’s but she’s not 20 anymore, voice changes with age. Prime example, another fav of mine Patti Labelle, look up a song called “Down the Aisle”, sound nothing like her but it is, her voice got huskier over the years, but still amazin. Don’thate.com MessiahMariah now bow down and walk out gracefully. now I LOOK 2 U…….

  84. Slick October 21, 2010

    “the truth” I would have loved to see all these people you claim “trumped” Mariah trump her in her Prime. She has a vocal condition and it isnt her fault. Just go away.

  85. Migrator October 21, 2010

    OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG, THIS MADE MY DAY. IT’S GOING DOWN NOVEMBER 2ND!!

  86. THE ONE October 21, 2010

    @ The Truth so now you now what people think in the industry LMAO!!! Do the world a favor and kill you self!!!If Look stuid, you have to actaully hit the notes in the studio inorder for technology to enhance them, hey don’t pull it out of the air silly, lol you are so sad!! So fly like a bird was at the grammys, when Mary J was back stage saying, “sing Mariah” Lol that was fake too! Every on on here no you have no life and no validity behind your statements! YOUR pathetic and will always be so whith your mind set!! Mariah doesn’t even know you are a live!!! LOL

  87. chachilewinsky October 21, 2010

    To The haters !!! You named whitney & celine….hmm I remember growing up in the 90’s and I would argue with my friends about who out of the three ( mariah,celine,whitney) would Take it too another level & I picked mariah & well I was right !!! Mariah carey is the biggest selling female artist with the most Number one hits ! As americans we like the “Best” & its obvious Mc is the best if us americans have gotten her so far… if whitney & celine were as good as mariah they would have nonstop hits & they would be the best selling female artist of all time..but There not ! in fact rihanna & beyonce are about to pass them pretty soon when it comes to Number 1 hits on the billboard charts …But nobody alive is even close to beating Mariah’s 18 number 1 records..!!! Mariah carey career is 20 years & she has 18 number 1 hits..which is basically saying she only had 2 years…where she wasn’t number 1…besides her Name an artist alive that has done that..? Which artist has had a number 1 song each & every year of a whole decade ?…I thought so..there is None !!!! So haters upoutmyface …I think its time for yall to Migrate “Bye”

  88. QUEEN MARIAH October 21, 2010

    THE B**** SLAYED!! 20 YEARS AND STILL NUMBER 1
    HER VOICE MIGHT NOT BE AS GOOD AS THE DAYDREAM ERA BUT SHE IS STILL THE BEST SINGER IN THE BUSINESS.

    BEYONCE WHO? RIHANNA WHO?
