Two words : RIDICULE & TASTELESS

 

This performance won't save her single from flopping nor revive her dead career.

Gab, I fail to understand why you have to go into different artists' threads, whom you don't like, pick on every single artist apart from Céline and love to bring them down? It makes you seem very annoying.

 

I know you're a big Céline fan, but doing this doesn't make you a bigger fan. You're acting like the very same lambs whom you make fun of.

Huh? You talk as if I'm bashing every single artist in this world excepted Celine. That's a blatant exaggeration.

 

...and my comment above about Mariah was more like a reality check than an insult. You Mimi fans need to realize that MC career is over. Simple as that.

[Black Kitten]

i won't say her career is completely over. but after Touch My Body, everything went downhill for her. she just needs to realize she's not in her 20's anymore. she has to act her age already. she's freaking 42 (or 43) for crying out loud.

[Bell]

You Mimi fans need to realize that MC career is over.

And Celine's not? You have to admit that lately it seems just so...whether we like it or not.

[celinefanonline]

mmm not really for Celine... she still got a success show!!! and we'll see how her upcoming albums will do!

 

as for MC i just don't like the song at all.... maybe where MC sings is alright but overall don't like it....

i do hope her next single will be alot better

[GoldenLeaf]

Celine's 2008-2009 World Tour was the second most successful Tour of all time for a solo artist in entire history and her current residency show in Las Vegas is highly successful. Because Celine has not released an album in almost 5 years doesn't mean that her career is over.

 

As long as the fans will still buy her albums and her concerts tickets, her career will remain alive.

In general Celine isn't really seen as an "active" artist though as much as it's not really true.

 

Well as long as the fans buy Mariah's albums then she'll be ok.

I understand you're not a fan (or maybe you were once upon a time, I don't know) but I just don't get why you bash her so much.

[Macaronie]

Memaw is looking fierce.

[blueangel92]

even though i dont like mimi, i really want a duet of celine and mimi. =))

[disadiva]

I don't think this performance was lipped maybe the begining but not when

she walked on stague i could defo hear her sing live but in the end

her voice was hoarse i think she suffered cold, her eyes looked sad to

she struggled a bit but looked stunning.

[celine4evauk]

Watching VH-1 Mariah Official Top 20 now

 

Just had her live version of Open Arms.

 

Made me miss "old vocal" Mariah - and the song makes me think of Celine too!!

[PriscillaBarragan]

even though i dont like mimi, i really want a duet of celine and mimi. =))

It got me all excited when Celine said that she would like to work with Mariah (the Extra interview she had recently) I don't know, I think if they did have a duet it would make the tension in between fans calm down a bit.

 

I was listening to her album Emotions the other day

[TommKat22]

Does anyone know any more updates on the new album? Or the what the 2nd single will be after "Triumphant"?

[PriscillaBarragan]

Well it should be released in the spring. Probably when the live shows for American Idol air (or maybe later) so she can promote her songs, album etc.

No word on any other single yet

Thank you! Yeah, that's the problem with singers going onto reality shows, they don't have as much time for their own music anymore. :/

[Macaronie]

Her next single is Vision of Love 2012 duet with Larka Fabianka and Eve.

[Ray]

American Idol will start in January with Mariah as judge.

But I'm looking more forward to the new single (hopefully a January release) and album (probably to be released in March).

 

Meanwhile 2012 wasn't that bad. I really LOVED the 'Vintage Remix' of Triumphant. Probably my most played song of the year.

And I also loved Bring It On Home, her song for Obama.

Here comes Mariah with yet another version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You", assisted this time by The Roots and... Jimmy Fallon.

I saw that! I was kind of afraid of what her vocals were going to sound like but I thought they sounded pretty good even though it seems like she was struggling at some points The kids were pretty cute too

 

If you like her you should go. But if not, then don't but I think it's been a while since she played there?

[LuisMa]

Mariah's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" FINALLY makes it into the Hot 100's Top 40, reentering the chart at its new peak, number 29.

As much as I love TAST and all the songs in it, but Mariah's AIWFCIY is a classic! Almost 20 years old yet it sounds so fresh even today. Love it!

Sometimes I wonder if Celine's "Christmas Eve" song had been promoted if it could've been a hit like AIWFCIY! Maybe not as big, but it's uptempo and cute, and I think it could have had some success!

Michael Buble is sure to have a merry Christmas. His 2011 album, Christmas, will top the 3 million mark in U.S. sales within the next two weeks. (Current sales tally: 2,749,000.) It will be the first Christmas album to go over the 3 million mark since Josh Groban's 2007 smash Noel. Buble's album will rebound to #2 on this week's Billboard 200, pulling ahead of this year's top holiday album, Rod Stewart's Merry Christmas, Baby.

 

Kenny G's Miracles—The Holiday Album remains the best-selling Christmas album of the Nielsen SoundScan era. It has sold 7,277,000 copies since its release in 1994. Kenny G's second holiday album, Faith—A Holiday Album, has sold 2,752,000 copies since its release in 1999. The album spawned a top 10 hit on the Hot 100, "Auld Lang Syne (The Millennium Mix)."

 

Josh Groban's Noel is the second best-selling holiday album of the Nielsen SoundScan era. It has sold 5,550,000 copies since its release in 2007. It's the top-seller by a vocalist. The album features "Ave Maria" and I'll Be Home For Christmas."

 

Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas has sold 5,261,000 copies since its release in 1994. It's the top-seller by a female vocalist in the Nielsen SoundScan era, narrowly edging out Celine Dion's These Are Special Times, which has sold 5,257,000 copies since its release in 1998. Carey's album features "All I Want For Christmas Is You," which has sold 2,311,000 digital copies. Dion's album contained the #1 hit "I'm Your Angel," a collabo with R. Kelly, though the song's connection to the holidays was slight.

Buble's album is being boosted by an hour-long TV special which NBC has already aired twice this month and plans to air again on Dec. 21.

 

Even in an era of digital song downloads, Christmas music remains an album-oriented genre. Twenty-three holiday albums have sold 2 million or more copies in the Nielsen SoundScan era. By contrast, just one holiday song, Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You", has sold 2 million digital copies.

The classical-rock ensemble Mannheim Steamroller has topped the 2 million mark with four holiday albums, which is more than any other act.

 

The ensemble's first two releases, 1984's Mannheim Steamroller Christmas and 1988's A Fresh Aire Christmas, were released prior to Nielsen SoundScan setting up shop, so on those and other pre-1991 releases in this report, let's also look to certifications from the Recording Industry Assn. of America. Both of these albums have been certified for U.S. sales of 6 million copies. Mannheim Steamroller is the only act with two Christmas albums certified at the 5 million level or higher. Mannheim Steamroller Christmas has sold 3,493,000 copies just since 1991. A Fresh Aire Christmas has sold 3,645,000 copies just since 1991.

 

The other multi-million-selling Mannheim Steamroller albums are Christmas In The Aire, which has sold 3,735,000 copies since its release in 1995, and Christmas Extraordinare, which has sold 2,953,000 copies since its release in 2001.

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" Top Streamed Holiday Song

The Nielsen ratings agency checked under the tree (and online) to examine digital holiday music preferences and found that Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is apparently all pop music fans want to listen to on the Internet. The song is the most streamed of the season, with 662,000 plays, Nielsen reported.

 

On YouTube, the 2009 Christmas track has logged as much mileage as Santa's sleigh, with nearly 48 million streams. That doesn't include the 7 million listens for the version recorded in the "Late Night" music room with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots playing children's instruments such as a Fisher Price xylophone, ukulele and kazoo.

Mariah Carey - Christmas Time Is In The Air Again (Live at Rockefeller Center 2012)

 

i thought she sounded amazing
