The long-awaited duet between Mariah Carey and her mother Patricia has finally surfaced. The duo have applied their multi-octave vocals to a powerful medley of ‘O Come All Ye Faithful / Hallelujah Chorus’ – a track featured on Carey’s ‘Merry Christmas II You’ album (in stores on November 2nd). Give it a listen below:
Where has Carey been hiding that voice during the last few years?? This performance was agile, powerful, controlled and laced with her signature vocal flourishes. Not to mention Patricia’s robust operatic rendition which took this song to a completely different level.
This record can be described as nothing short of glorious. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Carey just took every other singer to church and made them kneel at the alter. I’m going to need help to get off this stage. O sweet glory.

here goes Trent again thinking we care about Mooriah *watches Ride* #BasicInstinct
YES!
I mean, really?! Where has this voice been? She sounds amazing! This is my kind of christmas (excuse the pun, xtina).
Mariah slayed! Go ‘head! And her mama was killin’!
She recorded some of this songs for her previous christmas CD, that’s why she sounds like before… this could be the reason…
i would buy the entire album for that ending alone that was amazing!
Lmao Trent and these gifs, but god damn there’s still no one out there who can sing like this! I also would’ve loved to hear Patricia’s voice when she was young
@Peter You’re seriously able to sit there and think that?
im not a holiday fan … but damn .. they sang that
YES YES YES Mariah sing!!! I love it!
MIMI SLAYED!!!
@ Peter are you really that stupid? Are ya?
DAMN..her cd is insanely good! Mariah did her thing – BUY IT NOV 2ND PEOPLE!
Long awaited?
Eh. If you say so…
Yes!!!!!! This is the way “the real Mariah”
DO YALL KNOW TRENT IS THE ONLY PERSON ON TWITTER THAT TALKS ABOUT MARIAH
#JUSTSAYIN ON THAT NOTE ONLY A FOOL WOULD BUY THIS ALBUM.
I’m listening to some of the tracks now! Absolutely amazing!
More leaked songs will be posted soon!
@OKAY Mariah has 3,418,055 followers, please get off this post.
This actually gave me chills! This makes absolutely no sense how this woman can sing.
At first I didnt wanna listen so early but f*** it!!! they did that!!!!!!!!! yasss mother Lamb!!! u betta f****** SANGGGGGGGG
Amazing as always. I love all lambs so I love Trent. Mariah slaying. Can’t wait to have my copy of the album in my hands.
That was simply sensational. I think this might be an album i actually have to buy rather than simply ‘download’ *ahem*!!!
This got me all in the mode for Christmas, get it Mimi….
Happy Birthday CIARA!!!
i knw a Cerror stan ( the first comment) isnt coming for Mariah Carey i aint even gone go there. Mariah and her Mom blew me AWAY im buying this album forreal. why has this b**** been hiding this voice releasing whack songs like Touch My body and Obsessed.
and for all the Rihanna and Ciara stans who wanna throw shade neither one of them h*** could sing like this no matter how much autotune they use.
Altar… alter is to change something
and the Xtna stans all 10 of yall Xtina could never grab you like Mariah can emotionally all Xtina has is a loud voice.
the gif of Fantasia getting helped off stage…where is that from?
i CANT stop replaying this mariah just slayed my life
O to the M to the F to the G!!!!!!
It would have been nice for Mimi do duet with gospel singers, many who have classical backgrounds like Larnelle Harris, and gospel queens Tramaine Hawkins and Shirley Caesar—-who have sang a rendition of these same Christmas songs beautifully, possibly better.
I love Patricia’s part to this song.
BTW…I can’t wait to hear this cd.
The CD is very nice! My copy will be in my hands on November 2nd!
This one almost had me crying…it’s just soooo emotional…luvs it!! N doesn’t it make u think about a scene from a movie or somethin? I just have no words to define what i feel when the song reaches its climax…I’m speechless.
MC’s voice is angelic, and I love the fact that she included her mother on this album. The fantastic vocals coupled with the superb production gives me chills…. WAY TO GO, MIMI!!!!
CANNOT BE REPRODUCED LIVE, SO WHAT’S THE POINT? ESP. FAT-RIAH’S PART. DEF. PRO TOOLED-ENHANCED DURING THE FINAL NOTE WHICH WAS STRETCHED.
This is what is going to be playing at my house this holiday. 🙂
Am I listening to the same thing? Sounds like garbage to me
CANT’ EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mariah has been holding out. Thank God for Christmas!!!!!!
If the rest of the album sounds anything like this, we could be in for something better than the first Christmas album!!!
Ordering my copy AS WE SPEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that gif is hilarious. i can’t stop laughing…..hahahaaahaha
AMAZING. Sit the hell down all the other pretenders. Hail Queen Mariah the 1st. Every other female singer on the planet just got taught a lesson. That is sanging. That is vocal tone. That is emotive. That is simply beautiful. THE BEST SINGER OF OUR GENERATION, HANDS DOWN!
Oh Come All Ye Faithful was boring, and her mom sounds like a hotmess. The lambs would like anything
Oh please. The best singer? I can name 10 better singers than F******
I just sent the entire album to go viral lol
^^^^^^^ #MADDDDDD
@ No Way
Name your 10 so we can laugh!!!
omg….i iterally got killed.
Wow this brings me back to 1994 with first Christmas album. The backing vocals….bringing back Melonie Daniels to do backups was one of the smartest decisions Mariah could have ever made!!!!!!
This could have just been another track on that first album. It really does sound amazing. After the last few years of rushed, lazy and emotionless cut and pasted vocals….THIS IS SPECIAL!!!!!
And I’m really suprised how good her mother sounds…..I wonder if she still trains her voice because she sounded really good!!!
You are all jealous coz Mariah OWNS your favourites. Mariah will always be the greatest female singer of all time.
Great!
My 10
Kelly Price, Tamia, Debroah C**, COCO, Yolanda Adams, Jasmine Sullivan, Melanie Fiona,
\Celine Dion, Marsha Embrosius, Jill Scott. And the reason I named these wome, is because they can produce LIVE what they put on their record, and they do not use voice enhancements like Mariah either. Also, even though her live voice isn’t good anymore, Whitney in her prime would smoke Mariah. Mariah does not have a church voice…sorry.
I can’t believe it’s happens.
The album is amazing, Mariah’s voice is so on point.
Forever my hero!
AMAZING TRACK!
and for the record, whitney cant come close to this….not even in her “prime” no way.
Mariah the best ever.
I’m sorry. I wasn’t moved. the song felt cut paste and disjointed with no soul. on to the next and no, it will never be produced live, lol
I agree with you @Fareal, which is why I named the real vocalists who do not rely on enhancing in the studio
I agree with you @Fareal, which is why I named the real vocalists who do not rely on enhancing in the studio///
OOO Sorry No Way.. Mariah Meant to have a church voice?
This track is Epic! Back on form with Merry Christmas II You!
BRING IT MC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dats how you work…
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Mimi!!!!!!!!
U betta SANG! And your momma too! I’m ready for Xmas now!
@ No Way — were you there when she f****** recorded it? i think not. so #stfu like you’re some musical genius. please go suck a d***. Love you Mariah !!!! See did bomb, so yeah, go cry 🙂
LOL @ No Way. This dumbass loves Mariah’s new album. I bet your ignorant ass listened to the leaked tracks and probably got them on repeat. I told ya’ll Mariah has her haters eating out of the palm of her hand.
A lot of the songs have been leaked already!
LOL at Trent getting mighty wet
The Album leaked!!! and It’s f*king AMAZing!!!!!!
@Peter, are you insane? Mariah cannot use the recordings from Sony in 1994 for this album unless she is cleared (like AIWFCIY) because Sony owns the publishing rights of her old songs.
WOOOOOWWWW MARIAH U SANG THE HELL OUTTA THAT SONG. NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE CAN SING LIKE HER SO ALL U HATERS EAT YOUR JEALOUS HEARTS OUT.
that was amazingly beautiful <3 no doubt in my mind that i'm getting this album :]
FIYAAAAAH !!!! STR8 FIYAAAH !!!!! I’M IN LOVE W/MARIAH AGAIN !!!
NOW I KNOW WHERE HER VOICE CAME FROM FROM…………………….MAMMA CAREY SMASHED THE VOCAL BOOTH. !!!!
Actually @MC2U, as the writer of the songs MARAIH OWNS THE PUBLISHING. She can do whatever she wants with ANY of her recordings! FACT.
STUNNNNINNGGGG! ONLY MARIAH CAN BLOWW LIKE THIS!! OFTEN IMITATED NEVER DUPLICATED!!
@Beysus
mariah always sounded like that..
buttttt..for her past couple of albums, she was trying to compete with all the other fake a** singers out there..
so she dumb down her voice…boy was i mad…lol
now bish is back..f*** them goats stans….
i hate xmas, but i’m gonna buy that album
mariah and xtinas voices can NEVER be duplicated..they r that good
PEOPLE ARE DUMB AND DEAF. JUST LISTENED TO THE ENTIRE LEAKED ALBUM. CONCLUSION:
MUSICAL PRODUCTION: GREAT! DESERVES KUDOS, BG SINGERS ARE EXCELLENT
VOCALS (MARIAH CAREY): SAME OLD S***, WHISPERING ON ALMOST EVERY TRACK, CUT AND PASTE PUTER ENHANCED VOCALS, HER CHEST VOICE SUCKS, TRACKS HAVE THE WHISTLE NOTE PASTED IN. TRACK FT HER MOM PATRICIA IS THE BEST. THE REST ARE BEEN THERE DONE THAT, WITH OTHER FEMALE VOCALISTS IN THE PAST OUTSHINING FAT-RIAH BY FAR… THIS IS NO VOCAL GEM OF AN ALBUM.
2.5/5 WILL NOT BUY THIS ALBUM. ONLY TRACK WORTH BUYING IS FAT-RIAH FT. HER MOM PATRICIA.. DUMP THE REST.
@BEYSUS, the gif is from when Fantasia did “Endow Me” at the Celebration of Gospel with Coko, Lil’ Mo and Kiki Sheard.
But anyway…all i got to say is YOU GO MARIAH!!! that song literally gave me chills!
Wanna find a milit/ary par tner ???? Here is a very nice pl ace

i dont usually comment but wow – damn mariah – why arent u singing like this anymore… really miss it. Keep it up!
Haters can go f*** themselves. The greatest vocalist of all time has DELIVERED! Whether she sells this album or not, her vocals are on point and I can’t wait for he next studio album.
JUST LISTENED TO THE LEAKED ALBUM AND ITS WORTH MY PURCHASE SO I JUST ORDERED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STAND OUT TRACK “ONE CHILD”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The guy who gave the album review above about her whispering is lying….
She sings full voice on the entire James Poysner song “When Christmas Comes” (Very much like Mine Again). Amazing vocal form!!!!!!!!!!
AIWFCIY is pretty much the same thing with a new intro and a longer ending but she resang the vocals exactly the same pretty much
“Christmas Time is in the air” – very jazzy and suited for the whisper voice like Underneath the stars was…..VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“The first Noel” – again uses the whisper to just pure perfection….not as airy but more pretty soprano!!!! Totally told the story!!!! Very touching!!!!!!
OMG AULD LAND SYNE – BALLAD AND THEN DISCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE TOPPED THE FIRST CHRISTMAS ALBUM
SHE SHUT ME THE F*** UP…..I DOUBTED SHE COULD PULL THIS OFF!!!
Some of you all really need to shut the hell up, seriously.
Anyways, this was amazing. Both of these beautiful queens slayed this record. This song alone has made me want to buy the album, so just imagine how all the other songs sound. I’m sure its great. Go Mi-Mi 🙂
This is what I am talking about sanging.
I can’t breathe
Just heard the whole album…..one word….AMAZING
Favourite track – “One Child” – brings back memories of “Jesus Born On This Day” from the first album!!!
Standouts – ALLLLL – There is not one snoozer!!
Is it better than the first album – If not better just as good!!!
Marc Shaiman vs Walter A. – I think Mariah finally found a pop producer that rivals Walter. Marcs orchestrations were INCREDIBLE!!!
Vocals – Haven’t heard vocals like this since Butterfly this consistently on one album. It always came in a song or two on the albums after that but from top to bottom Mariah lays the vocals out. Even the whisper tone is pretty and not airy and unfitting!!! Whenever it was used it was perfect!!
I’m over the moon!!!!! I haven’t bought a Mariah album in over ten years but I will be at the store at November 2nd.
She should just do Christmas albums ever 5 years from now!!!
It sounds way too cut and paste. Too bad she’ll never be able to sing this way live. Did you hear her in Singapore last month? Awful and hoarse mess! She’s such a studio artist.
The Album is epic!! if this is not a success, I’ll go jump off a bridge!!!
BeBe,
Mariah has been recording MCIIU since June, you troll. I can almost guarantee you that she saved those amazing vocals for her Christmas album. You’re only saying the song sounds copy and pasted because of how amazing she sounds. I know. You can’t believe it.
I actually think the duet with her mom sound pretty cheap. First off it does not sound like a duet, it sounds like her mom’s part was pasted in, like they were in two different recording sessions and threw the 2 vocals together, very cheap. Mariah’s voice sound very airy and weak, not strong at all.
I actually think the background and layering vocals sound better than Mariah. The whistle notes sound far away as if they are technically enhanced. And much of her belting sound like they are digitally added on. I think most of you are hyping up something that is very deceiving.
Too much hype from this blog, and not enough deliverance. The only song I like is One Child, cause it is the only one that doesn’t sound as vocally enhanced.
I give the album a C. She will NEVER pull these songs off live w/o lipsinging most of it. Mariah’s voice is not the gem that it once was
@Sarah, I have to agree with BeBe. We all know Mariah does alot of copying and pasting. You have to be a fool to think a woman sounds horrible live, can actually sing like that. Mariah is a studio artist, an most of her fans cannot accept the truth. You cannot be the best, if you cannot deliver live what u put on your record.
@ Money mariah has been singing live before auto-tune- before up to date technology!!! Why aren’t aritst such as ciara or rihanna arent doing it if it was possible. We all know they need to lol just plain stupid!!
She should have left her mom out of this…
Haters shut up, i’m sure took the necessary steps to get her voice where she wanted it. Her voice on E=M2 was incredible also. She kilt it ………… Lol why they mad. She’s the best. To the person that named all of those other singers, they are good/great, but none can mess with Mimi. Mariah can do so much more with her vocals, she’s one of the most versatile vocalist ever. Lol at the same people posting the same stuff over and over becuae they are pissed cuz she just tore this song into pieces.
F*** all you Ciara, Rihanna, Keri & Beyonce stans… Mariah is back!
S*** I really need to get home from work to hear this. I’m sure it’ll be great!
Betcha gon know is still my song. Rkelly would kill to do that song.
MIMI LOVE THIS SONG ALSO AND ONE CHILD ALSO
She’s the best!
Mariah & Patricia just gave me a glimpse of heaven….
Where did all of you hear One child?? I want to hear that too.
YOU GUYS KEEP SAYING MARIAH CAN’T DELIVER LIVE….
Mariahs laziness and lack of vocal training has been the cause of that. If you look back post party w**** Mariah, she was one of the finest live singers on eart as far as technical perfection goes.
So gimme a break. Mariah is an incredible vocalist. I think we all just wish she would start taking performing seriously again and get back the dicipline she had in the early part of her career.
Mariah could deliver live if she wanted to. Shes just f****** lazy!!!!!!!
@ONE CHILD
First she has to lose 50 lbs and that dead weight Mr. Nick Carey! 😀
@TRENT IS A MORON
Well the 50 lbs is fine by me cause shes finally having a kid.
About Nick. My feelings remained mixed but who I am to judge. The dude clearly makes the woman happy!!
Wow! That’s some amazing studio magic!
Mariah continues to inspire with THAT VOICE! She is truly one of a kind!
YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS Mimi is back b******.
I have never doubted her and have been a fan since I was 8 and I am now 28. Mariah is the best female singer can’t nobody top that voice!!!! I am well happy right now that peeps are starting to respect her again she deserves it. She has inspired a whole generation of female singers I mean they all want to be able to sing like this!!!!!!! 🙂
*shaking……..*…yes lawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think I will be purchasing this album.
TRENT U RESTORED MY FAITH A LIL IN THE PUBLIC. THIS IS AMAZING….. PATRICIA BETTER SING LIKE A SPINTO SOPRANO AND ROBUST WAS THE PERFECT DESCRIPTION. THIS IS THE HOLIDAY CD TO GET…… GONNA BE MAJOR FOR MARIAH
@ Sarah,
I am not a troll at all. How about taking off your rose colored glasses and accept the fact that Mariah is merely a studio artist and could never produce these vocals live these days. She can’t hold a note for longer than 3 seconds, much less belt in her high register anymore. I know how it works in the studio, she very much re-recorded each note, used studio tricks, and cut and pasted it all together. TRUST! She will never be able to sing this live, without lipsynching. Too bad.
This is what we’ve been waiting for! I was so disappointed when I heard Mariah would be releasing a new Christmas album. Now I’m sorry I doubted her. This is exactly why she’s one of the greatest voices of all time.
This is SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!
The whole alBUm is GREAT!!
for the people throwing shade…seriously give it a rest. “shes a studio artis” blah blah
at this point we dont give a shizz. she has nothing to prove. She nailed this album 10/10!!!
TALENT for millenniums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE Mariah Carey!!! 🙂 I like that she had her mom on this song. I’ve never heard her mother sing before.
YASSSSSSSSS! YASSSSSSS! YASSSSSSSSS!
Glory, Hallelujah! Love it! <3
amazing mariah!!!!! God Bles everyone.. =)
Love the way she sings adore at 3.01..I tried singing along but that part really difficult to pull off!
The ONE & ONLY…
The GREATEST…
MARIAH CAREY…
🙂
Who da fukk is doubting Auntie MiMi & Grandma Pat??? WHO???
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
I find it hilarious how that one guy kept trying to convince everyone that her voice is studio tricks, that she cut and pasted notes to form the song etc. How would you know or are you just pulling a really long s*** out of your ass, just like the hater that said she whispers through the whole album but obviously never heard the album and was proven wrong, so now people trying to find new ways to discredit her awesomeness LOLLLL. Y’know when Mariah first burst onto the scene 20 years ago, there were also people like this who doubt her whistling (before she got her first live performance) and they said exactly the same thing 20 years ago – her whistles are studio magic. Let’s face it Mariah’s singing abilities are so rare that it’s almost inhuman hahahaha.
^Just to add on. I was fooled by her voice too. For the longest time I thought my CD was scratched during her song “Butterfly” when she sang “flutter through the sky” at the end. Now I know that she makes her voice skip like that to emulate fluttering butterfly wings lol.
@ WARNING LAMB ALERT,
You’re sadly in denial. What are you going to say when she can’t sing this song live without lipsynching? Yea my point exactly.
I am very aware of how great her voice was during her prime and when she first came out. Sadly, her voice is nowhere near that quality live now. It hasn’t been in over 10 years. She lost that richness that she used to have and her belts sound very thin, she cannot hold a live note longer than 3 seconds without chopping it up or while using vibrato. She cannot belt with her upper register remotely the way that she USED TO. I have studied how dramatically her voice has changed, I know what I’m talking about. You, on the other hand, are merely a fan in denial.
It’s the truth. She’s a studio artist now. You can deny it and talk s*** to me until you’re blue in the face, but that doesn’t change the facts of the condition her voice is in now. Sorry.
@ BEBE you are really sad!!! If you dont like Mariah why would you take time out of your pathetic existance to leave a hundred comments!! Its not going to change the people mines who like her or who know real music!! Doesn’t change the fact you are a negative little girl and a nobody with to much to say! Get a life please!! YOU CANT STOP MARIAH CAREY, she is here to stay and everyone knows she sings better than the majoriy of peeps in the industry!!! Go do something with your life.
It would really make the Oprah show finale season wonderful if she performed this with her mother. Here mom hasn’t been on the show or any show in many years so yeah. Can’t wait till Friday since thats when i get my copy from HSN!
@ BEBE Oh please you’re the one who’s going blue in the face all over this thread. Get a life honey, nobody likes a party pooper. Just because you don’t like her anymore, why go all out your way to stop other fans from liking her? You just reek of resentment. I still “get” and continue to be touched by her newer music whispering, changed voice or not – too bad you don’t. It’s your loss sorry 🙁
ohhh excuse me losers, but this is a public blog and we all are allowed to express our opinion. Not everyone is going to like what they hear, get over it. This is the real world, not a world filled with rainbows and butterflies.
Oh man! Amazing, I am almost speechless. Just Beautiful
LOL at Lambs… this is nothing special. The worst Christmas album I have ever heard..
Oh Santa flopped..so will this one! 🙁
^^^MAD!
If MCIIU opens with Larger numbers than RiRi’s next album you are NEVER allowed to comment on a Blog ever in ther history of man!
#Benediction
AWW RIRI cant even sell a studio album anymore and she’s what age? 22-23? Ah, Mariahs age when music box sold 28 million!! Anyway, the Christmas album.. Oh Santa is hardly gonna soar up the charts 10 weeks before xmas lol. I think “RiRi” should duet with her mum on this song coz clearly it would be better… haha!
