Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas Special

Yes, it is definitely extra and over the top....duh!, it is Mariah after all.

What makes Mariah special is that she is not an "out of touch" over the top...NO WAY..she knows exactly how extra she can be, and she capitalizes on it in a cheeky, "I am able to make fun of myself" way. That IS her magic..

Take that fact, add her love of christmas...and top it off with some great vocals and gorgeous looks...folks...that is the recipe for a Magical Mariah Christmas!!

This feels like an old school christmas special...the kind you watch year after year...

The bonus here is her original song, "Christmas Time is in the Air(Again)", which may turn me into a Mariah fan or a lamb, if thats what its called.

Her fans who think she can do no wrong will rate it 10 out of 10.

I think with Apple budget plus Carey's purse, they could have done something incredible with the stages. Unfortunately you can tell this was done within perhaps a couple of days and a load of green screens.

In addition, it lacks perhaps a message of hope, especially after mentioning the "difficult year it's been" a couple of times (referencing covid).

Having said that, it's pure Mariah. It's self loving, it's cheesy, in fact it's the kind of Mariah cheesiness that made me laugh out loud, at how ridiculous it all was! But in an honestly funny way.

This woman is just here, she's around, she does her thing, she minds her own business, and millions love her for that.

Amazing vocals, especially if you pay attention to the melisma prowess.

I'll watch it every year.

Very cute, amazing music, beautifully shot. No real plot to speak of, but a great music special with dazzling visuals. A perfect thing to have on playing in the background of Xmas festivities.

The best thing to come out of 2020! It is perfect! Everyone needs some holiday spirit especially this year more than any! I will watch this every year...love that Mariah re-recorded her songs & the new version of Oh Santa with Arianna & Jennifer is AMAZING!

Mariah Carey is my favorite singer for Christmas carols. She's such a heartwarming and cheerful voice in these worst of times.
