Mariah Carrey - Joy to the World

[divinediva2000]

christmas is like 8 weeks away...im so excited i cant u...

[tlchico123]

Merry Christmas from the USA

[swanningaround]

@acapeles1 True enough. Merry Christmas to you also. :)

[swanningaround]

@acapeles1 To my mind Sissel and Price will always be superior to Carey. Even Kiri Te Kanawa can sing this song better than this and is more versatile - more like the great Sissel. Surely you are lot describing Carey as being "lyric". As you say, Carey should not sing carols and stay away from classical music. She is a pop singer like Beyonce, but obviously not as good as Beyonce.

[Devotedlamb19]

@swanningaround First of all, Mariah murders Beyonce and second, Carey can sing whatever the hell she wants and you're misinformed, elitist opinion will do nothing to deter her from giving glory to God. You don't like the commercialism of Christmas? Too bad, get over it. Carey didn't start it, it's going to be around long after she's gone and just because you have a narrow-minded view of what Christmas music should sound like doesn't make her Christmas renditions less legitimate.

[swanningaround]

@Devotedlamb19 Sorry. You have it all wrong. People go on about Carey's "high register" which is more rubbish. She is a contralto and a bad one at that. I have featured another singer on my channel singing this. She sings it properly as it should be sung - not in this low register and moaning. This IS trash. It is commercialism. It makes a mockery of Christmas.

[Devotedlamb19]

@swanningaround Again, you don't speak for the whole world. In pop music, Carey has the best technique next to Barbara Streisand. And she loves God so every time she sings a Christmas song, it's to glorify him. As I said, quit complaining about commercialism. It's not going away. Classical music is not the only genre of music, and neither is opera. They are not better than Pop, R&B, and Soul except in your elitist mind. Carey is one of the best singers in the last 25 years, period.

[swanningaround]

@Devotedlamb19 I never said classical music etc. was better. As for loving God, she only loves money. This is just commerical trash. 

[Devotedlamb19]

@swanningaround Oh really? Do you know her personally? I don't think so, so that assertion is patently false. Her music and the fact that she's always thanking God for her success leads me to think she's a strong believer. Unless you can prove otherwise, I feel safe in calling what you just said a lie. As I said, your narrow-minded view of what Christmas music should sound like doesn't make her renditions any less legitimate.

[swanningaround]

@Devotedlamb19 It is not about "Christmas music". This is a Christmas carol. If she wants to do some gangsta rap (I think that what pop people do), then she is welcome. To butcher a classical piece like this is definitely not Christmas. It is commercial. She ha one god. That is the money god.

[Devotedlamb19]

@swanningaround Again, your elitist opinion doesn't make her renditions less legitimate than anyone else's and if her god is money, why does she always thank God and her fans whenever she puts out an album or receives an award? Your assertion is false. And gangsta rap is what rap artists do. She's not a rap artist. You know nothing about musical genre. She didn't butcher this at all. Your attitude isn't Christmas. She brings joy and glorifies God. You trash artists you don't agree with.

[MusicLuver093]

@swanningaround Yeah that's why she has the most successful christmas album of all time hahahaha. Not to mention the greatest voice.

[swanningaround]

@MusicLuver093 "Successful"? It sort of defeats the whole Christmas message, doesn't it. Christmas is just another money making business for Carey and her sponsers.

[Devotedlamb19]

@swanningaround So if an artist makes money because their Christmas album is popular, that defeats the message of Christmas? That makes no sense. Carey knows the meaning of Christmas, but you obviously don't. Get over your obsession with the commercialism of Christmas. EVERY holiday is commercialized and it's always gonna be that way. If you allow that to steal your joy and forget what the holiday is about, you are a very sad individual.

[swanningaround]

@Devotedlamb19 If you only get joy out of money, then it is you who is sad, not me.

[Devotedlamb19]

@swanningaround I don't, so don't assume you know me. You seem to have a hatred for monetary success and that's strange to me since you need money to survive. My point is, quit complaining about commercialism, because it's NEVER GOING AWAY. Just accept it and move on.

[swanningaround]

@Devotedlamb19 Sure. I am just trying to point out what this woman is. It is all about money with her.

[Devotedlamb19]

@swanningaround Unless you know her, that claim is unprovable.

[swanningaround]

@Devotedlamb19 I don't have to know her. I can see what she is.

[Devotedlamb19]

@swanningaround Again, unless you know her mind, you cannot know her motivations for anything. All you have are pretentious assumptions and those assumptions are wrong.

[swanningaround]

@Devotedlamb19 Hi. You seem a nice enough person, and I don't wish to upset you. Have a nice day - a peace be with you. :)

[swanningaround]

@acapeles1 Don't even compare Sissel and Carey. It is like comparing the angel and the devil.

[swanningaround]

Shocking stuff. This is painful commeicialism. It defies the Christmas spirir. What a traversty.

[missadventure32]

@swanningaround everyone has their own opinion...i, personally,think Mariah Carey is one of the best singers alive...you, obviously, don't

[usherjbluver16]

she is 40 something she sings beautiful

[swanningaround]

@acapeles1 Do you think Sissel is better than Leontyne Price?

[missadventure32]

@acapeles1 --everyone has their own opinion,,, you have yours,,,i have mine

[missadventure32]

@acapeles1 like you can do better!!

[83rms]

I love this song gospel

[jmwindu]

[BonoBonoify]

Yeahh,,Christmas carol is always everlasting

[Ceruleansmommy]

Joy to the world!!!!! :-D He rules the world .... i love Christmas! and the music that comes with it! YAY! hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas

[wickedsho792]

swanningaround something tells me that your superficial evaluation of her stems from the fact that you probably hate all attractive women performers. She has the second largest range of any contemporary performer (she ranges from tenor to coloratura soprano) and her timbre is resonant and unique. She also has brilliant diction and uses melisma very well; not too overdone. She's really not going anywhere

[swanningaround]

wicked. That is ridulous. Anyway, I personally don't find her that attractive. I really don't care about her so called vocal range either. A tone generator produces all sorts of frequencies too, but wouldn't produce a pleasing sound.

[pleaseSTFUnow]

Then leave.

[missadventure32]

@swanningaround like you can do better!!

[DazzelPebbels]

too bad she didnt sound like this at michael jacksons memorial

[wildstevo]

yer.. maybe the dead body in front of her had somethin to do with that?

id like to see anyone sing better than she did at a funeral.

[foreverfreebird27]

swanningaround. Mariah has been big since 1990 and is still one of the biggest names around. she got ARTIST of the DECADE award for god sake! she is one of the best live singers iv ever heard!!! I dont think shes going anywhere.

[swanningaround]

Daniel. Listen to this version:

joy to the world mario lanza

It is written by someone who is a pop singer but can do this sort of music. You can hear every word, and it gives you the Christmas spirit.

You cannot even hear what Mariah is singing unless you are an American English expert. Mariah's version just not give any Christmas spirit, It just sets your teeth on edge and is a cheap publicity stunt.

[foreverfreebird27]

btw in the comment u sent back to me. u didnt really say anything worth reading, u made no point what so ever. except that u think no one will no he in 100 years. well i wont be alive in 100 years but i will in 50. and u wait and see, just like elvis every one will no the name.

[yantistack]

Love it

[teraniel11]

love it!! this is the best!

[bjorndaamo]

from erika c. daamo.

its so nice... i like it...

ahhm 09152718325 nga pala ang number ko..

may kilala ba kayong ruffel moanna daamo?txt lang po kayo

[username1p]

That room smelled, the blood could be revealed easily from the window, as it were, the old lady and lizaveta were covered in it. Later!

[swanningaround]

Yuk. Pop singers should keep right away from this sort of stuff. All that falseness and gimmickry.

[DanielAvilaAGT]

mariah is more than a pop singer, she can SANG! what you smoking?

she is a singer who can sing almost idenical or better live,so shut up!

[swanningaround]

Daniel. You say Mariah is more than a pop singer. She is marketed product, a pop singer. Her singing is full of gimmickry. Why? Because she is completely unable to deliver a genuine performance, and tries to hide her shortcomings by "additions" which just make it sound fake.

[emoandros]

u dont noe what ur fucking talking bout u better shut up bitch n be AMAZED by IF ITS OVER LIVE IN GRAMMYS!! shes a TRUE SINGA!!

[swanningaround]

emoandros. The way you swear says it all. That is why Carey should sing anything to do with Christmas. She should stick to singing the sort of rubbish that appeals to your sort.

[emoandros]

GET OVER IT ur envy its killing u deal with it!

[swanningaround]

emoandros. I am not jealous. Carey will soon be forgotten, when her fans switch to another celeb. She is not a "true singa". People like Mario Lanza and Elvis Presley are great singers, and will be remembered by their fans. They have real talent and are not just celebs who shout into the mike.

[emoandros]

GOD its sooo funny to read shucha IGNORANT coments!! it made my day!!!

[swanningaround]

emoandros. I am glad that you are happy. :)

[emoandros]

yah bb ur ignorance made my day!! ur a trhill stupid person!.

[swanningaround]

emoandros. Whether I am stupid or not doesn't change the fact that Carey is a cheap marketing tool, who will soon disappear then the next "product" comes along. She is no Mario Lanza, thats for sure. She should stay away from serious music.

[foreverfreebird27]

swanningaround. Mariah has been big since 1990 and is still one of the biggest names around. she got ARTIST of the DECADE award for god sake! she is one of the best live singers iv ever heard!!! I dont think shes going anywhere.

[swanningaround]

forever. I doubt anyone will have heard of her in 100 years time. Greats like Monroe, Presley, Caruso and Lanza will always be remembered, not to mention Mozart, Beethoven and Bernstein in other fields of music. Carey is a marketed phenomenon. She will soon be replaced by the next one - Lindsay Lohan?

[emoandros]

u really need to shut up now!!

[swanningaround]

emoan. You are an insulting person. Just what I would expect of a Carey fan. She really does attract no talent lowlives.

[emoandros]

telling a stupid ignorant unintelligent person to shut up his naive mouth its not insulting, Lying like u do! THATS iNSULTING! please dont reply to this.

[swanningaround]

emoan. Your words say more about your intelligence than mine. You are the sort of person that would be attracted to Carey's attempts at singing. She is just a cheap celeb.

[missadventure32]

@swanningaround ur jealous!!!!!hahahahaha

[swanningaround]

@missadventure32 I am jealous of the money she makes. Sure. Of her voice and talent? Nah!

[wildstevo]

hehe.. that "swanningaround" just goes on all the mariah songs and disses her!

haha.. they need to get a life!

good on you for puttin them in their place! lol!

[emoandros]

yeaah! its kinda of anoying! tho!. lol thanx!

[missadventure32]

@swanningaround jealous!!!!!

[missadventure32]

@swanningaround mariah does NOT shout into the mike!!! she has a great vocal range and voice and talent!! i'd like to see you even try to do better!!!

[foreverfreebird27]

[dwaynebryn]

wow I love Christmas song especially this

[1151rick]

Mariah rules. Great Intro. Her vocals are phenomenal

[tillygg]

Whoa, she wears TONS of makeup . . .I was just noticing by looking at these pix? Why does she wear so much?

[littlegreenbag]

the makeup she's wearing at 1:30 and after that is for the I Still Believe video - were she dresses / and makes herself up as a 40s Singer singing for the troops hence the makeup

[tillygg]

I wasn't just talking about that photo- she wears gallons of makeup in every pic I've ever seen of her.

[littlegreenbag]

well that photo is a quarter of the video and you said you just noticed and that picture is misleading so...

[tillygg]

OK, fine, you misunderstood.

[tillygg]

OK, fine, you misunderstood.

[hinata1926]

she wears a lot of makeup so that the lights can see her face, if you dont put make up on in an performance, theres a possible that the camera wont see you...i dont really know but that's wat my friend said.

[tillygg]

Yes, I know that, but my point is she seems to wear far more makeup than other female celebrities. It really makes you wonder how "natural" her beauty is when you see all that makeup caked on her face.

[fryfreak]

I think if you look at you very first videos and stuff, you can see how pretty she was then, but now...*shrug*...makeup can do wonders, it's hard to tell

[kilikdet]

actually she seems to wear alot less makeup then most female celebrities....I dont understand where some people come up with this stuff lol

[tillygg]

You're joking right? Mariah has admitted herself that she can take up to 4 hours getting her makeup done. Get your facts straight.

[kilikdet]

umm....and where did she admit this?...4 hours to do her make up alone does sound slightly preposterous...are you sure you have your facts straight? Because without proof that sounds silly...in addition to that...I said seems like she doesn't wear a lot of makeup...meaning even if she is...she doesn't give the appearance of a woman that wears a lot of caked on make up...

[tillygg]

An interview with US magazine from 2006. So there's your proof sweetheart.

[kilikdet]

oh okay...still doesn't matter because I said, 'she doesn't give the appearance of somebody who wears too much makeup' in the first place...I just think you were trying to find something negative to say about her for no reason...that's only reason I commented in the 1st place...these are all just my opinions and you are entitled to yours...

[tillygg]

I'm a fan of hers, I wasn't trying to be a negative. However, when you reply to a post made a year ago, YOU'RE only looking for an argument.

[kilikdet]

judging by the fact your still commenting I am not the only one who ones to

[tillygg]

Oooh, great comeback LMAO. My comments are replies to posts YESTERDAY and TODAY. Yours are from a post A YEAR AGO. Is it wrapped around your brain now? Otherwise you're hopeless.

[nappzz]

this song is LIVEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[jojajuje]

i love you.

[jeshuarex]
