    Mariah Carey is the WORST MUSICIAN EVER next to Justin Bieber. But in person, Justin Bieber is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY WORSE. HE EVEN GOT DETAINED BY THE COPS. XD

    This woman has to be stopped, she isn't the icon she thinks she is most people just stream that corny song because of the holiday and not her, her streams drop every January how embarrassing, this is also a terribly performed album.

    The rest of this album intersperses originals with classics--a respectful "First Noel," an aptly baby-making take on "O Little Town of Bethlehem," and "Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)" as routed through a strip club. But nothing beats "All I Want for Christmas Is You," from her 1994 album Merry Christmas," one of the great modern holiday albums.

    It's 16 years since Mariah Carey's first Christmas album, and there's nothing here to suggest she's developed significantly since then.

    It's not particularly clever, but it is expectedly big: if you're a Carey fan with a stocking that needs filling this year, this'll perk you up better than any alternative speech or sherry trifle could.
