Christmas queen Mariah Carey continues to spread festive cheer with her series of holiday shows at New York’s Beacon Theater.
And last night she unwrapped a surprise for attendees – R. Kelly.
The R&B legend joined Mimi for a spirited rendition of ‘The Christmas Song.’
How did they do? Watch below…
Robert sounded awesome.
Mimi, however…..sigh.
It wasn’t dreadful, but like her song of the same name her voice just sounded ‘Thirsty.’
To her credit, elsewhere on the show she sounded marginally better.
Depending on one’s preference, it’s becoming clear there are two approaches to receiving Mariah’s “new” voice: take the good with the bad or hold out hope for vocal rehabilitation.
We sit somewhere in the middle, but her inconsistencies are increasingly seeing us forced towards the first option.
Still, some Mariah is better than no Mariah…right?
