Is Mariah Carey trying to replace Santa as the figurehead of secular Christmas?
It certainly seems so.
The superstar songbird has been attaching her name to all things festive in recent years and has cranked that into overdrive this holiday season.
Fresh from rocking VH1 Divas: Unsilent Night and announcing a series of Christmas shows at the Beacon Theater, Mimi has been named one several stars featured in a major YouTube special.
Full story below…
Christened ‘The Keys Of Christmas,’ the Dave Meyers directed special will debut Dec 19th on YouTube Red and feature original performances from Carey, Ciara, DJ Khaled, Fifth Harmony, Boyce Avenue, and BeBe Rexha.
The production is the latest step the media giant is taking in its quest to attract viewers to its paid subscription service. Currently $9.99 a month, the platform will soon feature shows from the likes of Dwayne Johnson. [Source]

Kudos to Mimi and CiCi for embracing a cool new concept. Both ladies have new teams and their omnipresence of late is wholly encouraging.
Guys I just checked US itunes and Mariah´s song is at #13!!! Can you believe it? 26 years later!!!
Also surprising to see Million Reasons at #6 today. The project is not doing bad at all. Despite everything…
Love it when talent of all kinds prevails 🙂
Mariah Carey is an iconic Singer/Songwriter. Celine Dion/Mariah Carey/Aretha Franklin/Diana Ross/Madonna – Icons.
Smart woman she’s set for years
Chase that 19th number one Mimi!!!!!
But Beyonce is a better singer and dances at the same time, so Beyonce rendered Mariah useless. It’s all about Beyonce.
LOL ok
If it’s all about Thighyonce, why does Adele sell 10x more albums while breastfeeding at home?
While we “like” beyonce. BEYONCE WILL NEVER SELL RECORDS LIKE MARIAH. Beyonce – will NEVER have a record like – We belong together or One Sweet Day. Never.
She has many bigger record than those two forgotten local hits.
Get that promo Mimi
But Beyonce is nowhere near a better singer. She’s a very good one. But at Mariah’s best she ain’t even close. Furthermore, Mariah is an ‘actual’ singer/songwriter/artist. And that’s that.. Congrats to her for doing her damn thing..
B**** shut up. Mariah ain’t been a good singer since the 90s whereas Beyoncé gets better with time. Maybe her fat ass should put the bottle down and take her craft seriously like Bey.
B1tch Thighyonce was never good to begin with. She’s Camel Z’s glorified stripper, and don’t you forget it.
You don’t believe that yourself f**. Mariah is an old drunken has been who couldn’t find the right key if she was a locksmith. Beyoncé has surpassed her in vocals, performing and relevance all together. Let’s be real here. #GoodForAThrowback
But we are talking about now, not the past, Beyonce is praised and mariah mocked, the elephant in the room has to be addressed, Beyonce surpassed mariah.
What do you think will happen when Thighyonce is 50 and singing about getting the Camel’s c u m on her dress? What will people do when she’s still singing those ratchet a55 stripper songs of hers? She DOES NOT have a catalog that will age well MUCH LESS be timeless like Queen Mariah’s.
Beyoncé will still be touring and selling out arenas at 50 years old while Mariah has been demoted to sleazy motels in Reno.
Who cares about Mariah anymore? Certainly not the men she can’t keep.
About time Youtube accepted that their forgettable “E-Stars” will never have the draw that real celebrities do. Only reason I have Youtube Red is because of the Thanksgiving promo they gave me.
Beyonce fans are always salty
S*** you’re named after a reality show thot. No one takes you seriously including your mom
Only some are salty, like the ones in these comments. Not sure why they are so pressed
Beyonce stans should focus on her getting more hits. ‘Sourade’ is boring.. She’s selling out stadiums but where are the hits? And surely she should be selling more with all of the hype & gimmicks…. Mariah has been sounding very good lately. Beyonce voice ain’t that special. Once you’ve seen her once you’ve seen it million times before.
She ain’t pass Mariah in nothing. The only thing Beyonce is good for now is touring…. Otherwise, nothing she does is special anymore. She does the same shut over & over..
She has sold more singles than Mariah and demolishes her in touring. Mariah only leads in albums sales and that’s thanks to the peak of albums sales (in the 90s she released one album every single year).
Maratchet does not want to see Bey on stage and that’s a fact. Be for real
Why is BeBe Rexha always on the bill of something like she’s a singer?! ?? Is YouTube going to let us watch without a subscription?! Lmao!
She actually is a writer and she had depth before she sold out and bleached her hair to look more European
Dahhhling! I haven’t paid attention to Santa since 3rd of 4th grade so…
Nice
