Mariah Carey: una Navidad mágica

I am happy after watching this. Really. This short movie is full of messages. I love it.

Glad that she re-recorded so many songs and her voice is great

On the other hand, plot and acting were not so good, it's not her thing probably

Mariah has been really pushing the Christmas thing in the last few years and she really bashes it out of the park with this Christmas special. Basically, it's a series of music clips strung together with a plot skimpier than her costumes (but considerably less tight). Fans will love it. She is carefully arranged and lit in each scene and can still belt out a tune with a bit of electronic assistance.

Still, I can't help but feel they could have really gone all out with a different perspective and made a her a lonely, demanding and obnoxious diva who is mean to one and all and wants Christmas to be cancelled until she discovers and the importance of Christmas and family - sort of like The *itch Who Stole Christmas, if you get what I mean.

Hey, I should copyright that!

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.

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!
