Today, after the release of her #1 album ‘My Everything’, Ariana Grande has released the official video for her new number ‘Santa Tell Me‘, the R&B flavoured bop now set to compete with the Mariah Carey Christmas classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You.’
How Grande’s jam (and supporting video) compares to Carey’s?
Weigh in below!

she wanna be mariah SO BAD.
lmao. I cant
Yawn very basic and forgettable song and video. This song will be easily forgotten same time next year while Mariah’s legendary xmas song and album will be charting for the 2344526263737th time
And she copied 7/11 video lol
I caught that too
7/11!!! (The Christmas Edition) featuring Ariana Grande!!
Beyonce wasn’t the first to do a video at the crib…. Get out of here
LOL THE REACH IS REAL. THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THAT STUPID SHYT. YOU FLEAS SHOULD SERIOUSLY SEEK MENTAL HELP LOL.
Why Hasn’t Sam Mentioned that Mariah’s Christmas album is doing very well worldwide and breaking more records?
IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY IS CHECKING FOR DESTINY’S CHILD’S CHRISTMAS ALBUM THAT’S WHY SAM IS MAD 😆
That was a real flop! And the single was really bad too. I was very young but I remember perfectly. Not all the voices are meant to sing anything. Mariah´s is one of those who are 🙂
I like the alternative approach to a Christmas video, kind of sensual. but if she’s looking for a classic Christmas song this wasn’t the route.
I’ll pass people…
FLOPPP & FORGETTABLE!!!!
this song is a blue print to Mariah’s style. Mariah runs, Mariah’s type of melodies, and even taking it to the build up at the end. Ugh, I want to like this girl but the copy cat image is too much and I already loved Mariah Carey for over twenty years. I can not change teams.
To answer the question “how does it compare to Mariah’s classic?” (Answer) it doesn’t compare. Mariah wrote a classic song that sells every year with out fail (even if her voice fails a note or two) this girl will always be looked at as Lil’ Mariah and never Ariana Grande. There lies your answer, why compare when there is only one Mariah Carey.
I feel the same way!! I remember when I heard Ariana’s ‘The Way’ on the radio I was like “what’s this an unreleased Mariah demo?” I wanna like her also but all I see is a strict Mariah clone. I too cannot switch teams I’ve been with Mariah since I heard ‘Dreamover’ in ”93 as a kid. Ariana’s vocals sound ashy like she needs some lotion on them. There is a huge difference from being inspired by someone and just straight copying them. (See page 224 Lady Gaga copies Madonna & Page 441 Mariah Carey inspires Leona Lewis for references) Hmm and to think people gave Christina grief…..
I understand you but I think she can’t help that she shares TONAL similarities to Mariah. I think maybe when she was younger, someone heard her sing and was like, “Hey girl, you sound a lot like Mariah Carey!” So Ariana probably took it as a huge compliment and studied Mimi right down to her vocal inflections and whatnot. Just like Teyana Taylor sounds like Brandy sometimes or when Tevin Campbell used to receive MJ vocal comparisons. I do hate that fans of Ariana discredit Mariah though because it’s obvious Mariah is her biggest influence. The shade isn’t cute.
She DOES NOT write songs, she has a few of Mariah’s inflections, but does NOT have the range of mariah. At 21 MARIAH was a Grammy winner; this girl is a cheap copy in a pony tail wig
I agree but Ariana does have the vocal range she just doesn’t showcase it, she can easily hit notes in her seventh octave, and belt up to an A5. However she will never be able to come up and surprsass Mariah especially when her albums are barely going gold. The other way she can sell past 250 million records is by singles.
The range doesn’t matter when your singing thru your nose
Ariana Bell Grande supreme is a cheap knock off of an original.
WOW!! Ari really has the lambs press because there fav is a fat ass flop who can’t sing no more
No, us Lambs are not blind to enmity, envy and tears.
Girl bye. Legacy intack. 250 million sold.
7/11 impact tho
I like the song, her climax was cute, and so was the video.
–
Now plays “All I Want For Christmas is You”
I’m sure ariana doesn’t have the time to think about Mariah. Blame her team for the similarities. I love Ariana’s music… And she really tried to avoid the Mariah comparisons. The singles for her album could’ve been ALOT better but I feel they went the opposite direction b/c of comparisons
no matter how much you Ariana fans say “mooriah can’t sing anymore” etc etc it does not change the fact that ariana grande is a carbon copy of mariah Carey, period. Why hate on MC when your fave wants to be MC? That’s the real KII KII.
Mariah’s impact >
Where’s Gagas impact?
Mariah is queen and b****** will deal
Smh, Ari STOP!!! Mariah is legend and well… You aren’t.
Mariahs fans need to get out of their feelings and embrace reality. Mariah is yesterday’s news. Ariana is right now. All the disses and insults to her music isn’t gonna change that. It’s not her fault she’s hot right now and Mariah is struggling for relevancy.
How is mariah struggling to be relevant when she is charting with a 20 year old song/album. How is she yesterday’s news when this artist today is copying Her? That helps keeps a person relevant. So YOU get outta here with that and holla at YA boy when this chick can go platinum or diamond. Until then you can live in your delusion because this chick is a copy cat. Continue to Stan for k-mart while I shop in Dior
Flop.
And the fact that Mariah is only relevant during Christmas isn’t saying much.
The fact that she wrote a modern Christmas classic is pretty epic (a word that been misused, but is perfect for this comment). How many artist record xmas songs that came and went? Almost everyone, but for 20 years, one song continues to be played,top the charts and sale. That’s legendary.
LOL AT ALL THESE PRESSED AND SEETHING SHEEP, I MEAN LAMBS LOL
Relevant during just Christmas is better than not being relevant at all. So, it does say a lot even though the truth is Mariah Carey will always be relevant. You all want to erase what she’s done so bad. Why? Is it because you can’t take it? You all talk about the past but this is an artist that ruled the 90’s. An artist that is considered ONE of the best to do it vocally. No matter how much you all try, history can not be erased, and Mariah Carey made history with her career. Just like Whitney Houston, these ladies are the best while everyone else is learning from them. Continue on
Last message then off to gym but how can we (lambs) be pressed when the writers of this blog are the ones who has Mariah mention all in your faves post?
World stop! Carey on
Nobody checking for Ariana.I don’t like any songs from her.Her music is garbage and her album flopped.Mariah will always be queen
Meanwhile…
US Itunes
All I Want For Christmas Is You – #23
Santa Tell Me – #53
Her face is annoying, her voice is annoying, the video is annoying. Damn how can one be so annoying. Lmao. Bye
That’s how I feel about Brandy’s ugly ass.
Next
All I want For Christmas is You re-entered Billboard Hot 100 at #50 this week.
Santa Tell me fell 20+ positions to #97.
Merry Christmas slowly heading for 6X platinum
Everyone’s so bothered by Mariahs successor lol Ariana is killing the game meanwhile Mooriah is just killing her career.
I’m not really big on Christmas songs, but this was something fun for the holidays. Ariana’s music is always pretty catchy.
I thought she was done trying to be Mariah. Mess.
This song bombed so hard. I remember her stans were trying to get people to buy it but I don’t even think it went top 10 on iTunes. At least she isn’t trying to look 14 anymore.
Absolute trash. B*tch still think acting 13 is cute… Please leave this wanna be Mariah ho in 2014…
This was cute. I love her smile. Precious Baby.
The haters are out today!!! Let Ariana be great. At least she still has a voice and isn’t fat stuffing herself into latex prom gowns 🙁
Damn it! Leona Lewis Xmas album and original song she released as a single for it last year is 20 times better than this cheap cut. Ariana Grande is not even able to surpass Leona´s talent or success, and still, look how it went for Leona. So you can imagine how Ariana Grande´s cheap songs in which she has nothing to do btw are going to be seen in 25 years LOL
Oh and girl is pretty, but there´s something uncomfortable about her image, plus her voice becomes annoying after a while, and to reach her notes (nothing compared to mariahs, whitneys and celines of the world) she needs to have terrible diction. She cannot do it if it isn´t like that. So…. yeah 🙂
Stfu old man and stop hating on young cute successful girls you old Ass f**. Whitney is dead from crack Mariah is a fat drunk who can’t keep a man or her voice and Celine built a career on lip singing I see why you mad lol
TROLL
Your mom
People need to know the difference from current, iconic and legendary. Relevant is just means current. An icon work, sound, style is very recognizable, you see it and know them. (Hint, why everything Grande does, people calls out Mariah. Same with Ciara with Janet/Aaliyah and Beyonce with everyone in history). A legend is timeless, they have or left a legacy of work that changed the format. So with that said, relevant is very stage one. Chris Brown is relevant, but even going on year 10, he’s no icon and deff have no legacy. Same with Madonna (yea I said it.)
Madonna IS a Legend. Everything else I agree with.
I agree but even I don’t like Madonna but I’ll be the first to say she’s a Legend! I do like some of Chris’ music (not so much his personality) but I do wonder what his legacy as an artist will be sometimes. The talent is there but his attitude, tragic.
I actually like it
She’s such a copycat. It’s pathetic at this point!!
Breaking news! Rita Ora just performed at the white house house for president obama and his family. She is standing right next to him for a picture op. Rihanna cannot touch or stop her now. Her slayage and hustle is becoming more deadlier and threatening as we speak.
The special at the white house airs on the dec 19th, so 4 days time. I love how she kept it secret till 2 horus to go. She did say on IG: ” dear haters, I have so much for u to be mad about, just be patient”
This is a girl whom many deem a flop who will never make, yet, she is already singing at white white house for our PREZ with no HIT IN THE USA YET…….
Nobody cares
i don’t like how ghetto she is acting !
