Mariah Carey recently taped her performances for the 27th annual Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade. The diva performed the classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ and ‘Oh Santa’ from her new Christmas album, ‘Merry Christmas II You’. Peep the fan footage below:
‘Oh Santa’
‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’
The main problem that I have with Carey’s performances during the last few years is her inconsistency. While I understand that performing at outdoor venues almost always requires singers to lip-synch because of sound recording issues (see the Superbowl, etc), I see no reason why she couldn’t have sung ‘All I Want…’ live.
In fact, Carey delivered a powerful and near-flawless version of ‘Oh Santa’ without the aid of a backtrack so what was the excuse for miming ‘All I Want…’? We have seen her perform the latter several times live in recent years and she even did it at the 2004 Disney Parade.
Although there are several hormonal effects that Carey’s pregnancy may be having on her voice, her ability to sing one song completely live almost refutes that argument. If she wants to impress those who doubt her current vocal ability then she needs to go the extra mile, sing live as often as possible and leave the lip-syncing to Kelly Rowland.

MiMi can do Whatever the hell she wants…..At least she didn’t stop her performance MID note…..
#LEGEND!
Look at Mariah, she is just glowing with joy, that baby is going to be born happy and smiling. I pray that she stays happy, she deserves to be happy her and Nick Cannon.
i can’t argue with that…that’s very true. still love her though 🙂
she can do whatever the hell she wants. she deserves to. she’s pregnant and she’s a legend whether anyone likes it or not.
She is just letting her voice get some rest in between, she is still an amazing singer trust me.
Why Kelly rowland?
she didn’t perform ALL I WANT… live because she’s just A LAZY B**** !
that has-been husband of hers is the PROBLEM of all of her recent FLOPS.
DID TRENT CRITICISE MARIAH?! X_X
^^^^ RIGHT!!
I was almost POSITIVE that is was Sam writing this post…until the last sentence.
1) I’ma need for yall to get it together
2) Let Mariah lip synch a song if she wants to. She performs live often enough to appease her audience. She’s not only a diva, legend, icon…but a PREGNANT one at that.
Yep.
Oh…and 3) Kelly does sing live, I’m just waiting for this ‘Forever and a Day’ live rendition. The vocal performance in that song is out of this worldddd.
THE QUEEN!
Since when does Trent criticize Mariah? Since she lipped those songs, I will not be tuning in to watch.
Now that she’s lipping, I am not certain on rather I am going to watch her X-Mas special or not.
Go Mariah!
DEAD @ the unnecessary shade @ the end when you know your fave is the QUEEN of lipping. Don’t be mad because your fave can’t catch a break CONSISTENTLY live.
Dead @ Kelly lipping “Forever & a Day” twice, but she’s a big time lip singer now. Oh heavens… you are too dramatic, for no reason.
She struggles to hit 500k worldwide.. Hhahahahaha
Isnt that a surprise? MoMoo has been lip-synching for at least 13 years now!
on mariahdaily, they said that mariah only lipped parts of “all i want” idk if its true though.
whatever, shes still better than your fav, who lip synchs too.
Beyonce ‘s Halo (live) is 100% better !!!!
Lip-syncing…and you guys call this flake old lady ….. A DIVA ?
*R I P*
Mariah is no diva. When you think of diva, Diana, Barbara, Madonna, Whitney comes to mind, not Mariah. She doesn’t possess the attitude and presence these women have
So please stop calling Mariah a diva, cause she’s not one
The DIVA Mariah Carey and highest selling female artist sounded PHENOMENAL
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
she is FAT.
Its okay tho. not everyone can be KELLY ROWLAND aka SUCCESSFUL HITMAKER with a model like body!!!!
~~
Support Ms Kelly!
She did NOT lip the entire song

Sit down grandma, give it up….your boring and juveile song now days worth only 0.25 cents!
When Whitney- a real diva went on stage the whole audiences gave standing ovations.
Mariah could scream till she pops out her lung…. but still no one would care!
Trust me…I know who is the real diva ! 🙂
I hope she will have a miscarriage…stay home fat cow!
I still get goosebumps watching her 2004 performance of “All I Want is You.” This legend, this icon, this diva is the greatest artist of all time after MJ. Her sales and music speak for themselves. She needs to have her baby, come back inspired, and return after a few years when real music and ballads have an actually chance of hitting #1 in this msuic dance era, in order to shut every one of your faves down!
ok people who are sayin this is lipped AND WHAT? she has been singing for over 20 years… o remind me where are the singers back then…. Whitney? gone… Celine?.. gone…. Mariah? STYLL HERE MAKIN MUSIC! at the end of the day wether a song is lipped or now does it make a diffrence? no it dosent and where beyonce is ermm how old is she? when mariah was beyonce age she had more success than beyonce… would love to see beyonce at 40 years old
DID TRENT REALLY WRITE THIS????? WITHOUT DOING HIS RESEARCH PROPERLY?? I DONT BELIEVE THAT! TRENT IS USUALLY ONPOINT WITH ALL MARIAH NEWS…..
THIS IS FROM A FAN WHO WAS ACTUALLY THERE…
‘And yes, she was actually singing! Apparently, the performances the day before were all lipped, so a lot of people were pleasantly surprised to hear Mariah singing and belting out those high notes! ‘
‘There were a few parts of this performance that were lipped, but for the most part she sung live’
SMH TRENT!
TO ALL BRANDY HATERZ CHECK THIS OUT AND GET INSPIRED WITH THE REAL MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mariah is a done deal….the reason she was successful because she was married her own boss….over-played her octave voice as part of marketing strategy. The fact is she the most over-rated diva of all time.
Plus, her #1s mostly thanks to airplay…less sales during her era. She is joke, i agree. For me just is just a marketing tool.
Really classy of her ; a diva …singing at the Disneyland to save her career! Wow…is she too heavy for a radio station’s forklift ?
LMFAO
LOL AT HOW DIFFERENT SHE LOOKS IN THE PROMO PICTURES AS SHE LOOKS IN REAL LIFE RIGHT NOW.
A singer should NOT lipsynch. A singer is supposed to SING. Sing LIVE. A backing track – I get that. But Mariah is not a singer. I have ZERO respect for her. Sorry.
Why don’t the lambs get it? Who wants to pay to watch a singer lipsynch her whole song when that song is available on the CD? The fact that she could start off being one of the greatest LIVE singers on the planet in the 90s – to a studio singer who either lipsynchs the whole song or use pre-recorded vocals for high notes – is just SAD.
SAD!
@HASSAN
“wether a song is lipped or not does it make a difference?”
Of course it does! Only a lunatic will think it doesn’t. I used to be a big Mariah fan but why does she continue to lipsynch? It’s really frustrating to me and so many others who used to root for her. I just can’t root for her anymore. Her pregnancy is an excuse; she’s been lipsynching for years. It’s so unprofessional as a singer/vocalist to lipsynch. The more she pretends to be young and hip the more she alienates her fan base. I’m 35 and I used to be a LAMB in the early 2000s. Mariah needs to realize that her fans are growing with her, she’s 40 years old and still trying to be “young”. I’d like to see Mariah deliver something soulful, something that sends chills down my spine – just like how she did 20 years ago. I don’t want her to pretend she can still hit those whistle notes by lipsynching. That’s a complete waste of my time – I can watch those whistle notes on her old videos. Honestly I don’t care if she can hit those Es or Cs. I just want to hear her sing – LIVE. 100% That’s why I have more respect for Whitney, who is clearly way past her prime, voice is damaged but I saw her AMA performance and the tour performances of I look to you I didn’t know my strength, etc. and I have to say she sounds like a real SINGER whose voice has matured but also gained that rich quality and soulfulness it didn’t have when she was 20. Celine – never was a fan of hers and she’s lipsynching so I’ve lost respect for her as well. For those who say lipsynching doesn’t matter – what a load of BS. Of course it matters, at least to someone who’s been a Mariah FAN since I was 14.
I lost respect for her too. She is misguided by her own yes-maam people and delusional Lambs. She has no sense of direction and refuse to grow, artistically.
She is over!
Trash! Hope she commits s****** now!
I think all the haters are the ones that should commit s****** as they’re living only for the hate…
Well, some info for you – when you hate you get cancer so… , suicidal or not, you’re gonna die soon anyway… Ha ha ha… It’s not my fault, it’s yours…
@BOBBY FROM BULGARIA
You look like one of those delusional gay lambs. lol not that it’s wrong to be one but one of my friends is a lamb and he looks exactly like you. i almost thought you were the person i know until i saw you’re frm bulgaria. lmao
Hmmm… I wonder what you look like…
Perez Hilton??? Ha ha ha…
i love her new album, she has like the best voice i’ve ever heard.
I just wonder when did Mariah become bigger than Santa. I remember watching all the parades and Santa was always the grand finale. I just think it should stay that way.
wow so nice & good looking.
