(HD) Mariah Carey - Christmas Time is Here (Live ABC Christmas Special)

[patipatou79]

Nobody else can sing as soft as this! At 41 Mariah stay the top vocalist by every means. powerful belts,Melismas,riffs,high notes,low notes,runs,soft notes,etc... She's the queen of all vocalists !!!!!!!!!

[DanielAvilaAGT]

@zuzu2593 you can take your "hehe" as outta here! listen, obviously MANDONNA would have just a bit more in sales than Mariah because Madonna is 53 and started in 1982. DUH. While Mariah started in 1990.

[manouren]

I AM SPEECHLESS,THIS PERFORMANCE BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES! AMAZING MARIAH....THAT´S WHY I LOVE U SINCE 1990!

[MrDLOC11]

uh, you guys, is she lipping for this clip? live?

still, this song is the exquisite gem found in MC2YOU

her vocals, perfection

her artistry

unquestioned.

[blandbiz]

I could listen to this a million times. Mariah's voice is like silk. I actually like it better live than on the CD. No one like Mariah.....

[zuzu2593]

that previous comment was in response to the description of the video, in case you were wondering

[zuzu2593]

don't get me wrong, i love mariah to death. but the fact is that she is NOT the most selling female artist in the world. Madonna has sold over 350 million albums worldwide. mariah is right up there behind her tho hehe.

[manouren]

@zuzu2593 I am a really big fan of Madonna,but she´s sold more than 350 millions of albums+singles , and Mariah has sold just more ALBUMS,ok? Thank you man!

[Elegance469]

How did Nick Cannon get her? It just goes to show that nice guys don't always finish last.

[MangOPlatinum]

@Elegance469 no she is lucky to have nick. trust me on this one

[Faboosh15]

Love it!

[Topdoginuk]

She always give it her best and continually aims for an impeccable performance. That's a perfectionist and, we are the recipients of this wonderment!

[henrysinaga]

Apart from the original my favorite version of this song is Diana Kralls. But Mariah did a great job herself, glad that she didn't take out the jazz from the jazziest Christmas song of all time.

[SuperGreywolf101]

dude she's beautiful

[capcomfighter13]

After 20 years, this woman can STILL effortlessly glide through notes with her voice like its nothing! As I watch this video, I hold back tears because theres just something about Mariah's voice in this performance thats so Ethereal, so phenomenal until it makes all of your emotions surrender.

[whitneyluv96]

I love whitney and celine's xmas albums but mariah is my favorite album

[lenynhastahr]

lindo...

[cuntylicious]

Oops. I guess she didnt

[mushaakiss]

Simply magical!!! Beautiful voice

[te5041]

The way she sings this is so haunting.. It really give me a feel of "The Wind" from the Emotions album! I am so excited for her return! #Lamb4Life

[MrPimpPl]

LOVE HER ! LOVE CHRISTMAS !

[Crzymofo69]

I love the tone of her voice, omg

[iiAmitx3]

[MariahCareysMusic]

@iiAmitx3 actually the Original song by Vince Guaraldi Trio is called "Christmas Time Is Here" from the album and movie "A Charlie Brown Christmas" watch here>>>> /watch?v=GPG3zSgm_Qo

[iiAmitx3]

@MariahCareysMusic ohh ok :)

[unloveableniq]

this was the best christmas special everrrrr last year!! & its almost here again..anyway has this ever been put on DVD? sorry i know you fancy folk have DVR & im sure did but i dont but i would really love this special on DVD

[eracism09]

How did I miss this Christmas special last year? I must have been doing something pretty important to have missed this!

[K3nny905]

love how her voice is so buttery and ethereal here

[chesleycareystar]

even her talking is DUBBED.

[mimi10115]

I was watching a few videos of Mariah singing acapella and it brought me back to Nov. 2nd, 2010 when I went to this show's taping. She sang acapella various times to us and even though it's almost a year after I saw her, it hasn't hit me yet that I saw my idol sing live. I have to keep coming back to these videos just to reassure myself that I did see her and it's not just a dream.

[MCLAMB4LIFE1]

@mimi10115 Your super lucky you got to experience this whole concert in person. I've only seen her perform Oh Santa. I freaked out when i saw her at Rockefeller Center, i was in the very front front row less than two feet away from her. I touched her hand and i couldn't believe it. It was the first time i was that close to a huge celebrity, especially my favorite artist of all time, ill never forget it.

[mimi10115]

@MCLAMB4LIFE1 I will definitely never forget walking into the theater and just being in awe. The whole place was decorated in Christmas themes decor. I won't ever forget when they dimmed the lights and she was brought out. We were supposed to be quiet because it was the intro being filmed but while she had her head down, we just screamed and cheered and the crew had to get us quiet again. I am truly jealous though. I wish I could've been able to get that close and to touch her hand!

[babymariah]

@MCLAMB4LIFE1 OMG you are lucky to have touched her.. ( sounds funny huh) but I hope one day I can meet her.. I just Lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve her.. Seen her 3 times in concert.. Never met her yet....

[MCLAMB4LIFE1]

@MCLAMB4LIFE1 *You're

[sonerojam]

@mimi10115

how i wish i could see her personally...thats is the best gift ever i received in my entire life..to meet her and enjoy singing and watching with her.....youre so lucky to watched her live....i always dream to see her live, i dont know what will happen to me that moment....maybe my soul lifted up so high in the sky.....keep on watching and getting update of our dear favorite idol, the remarkable, unbeatable diva ever on earht, MARIAH CAREY< FOREVER!!!!!!

[luvitdown1]

@mimi10115 amen sista i am so jealous you got to see this live, she is and always will be the mutha

[eternia75]

absolutely beautiful...anybody else would have over-sung this, but she simply keeps it real, caressing it with her exquisite vocals...nobody does it better...

love the Charlie Brown Christmas tree on the piano....i want one :)

[bnatrl88]

christmas please hurry up!! lol

[mcboypower]

my fave performance of all time :'( i was there ! im telling u all the audience was hypnotized!

[iLolz19]

Sometimes I'm so indifferent about Mariah. She should be singing music like this. Music that is unbelievably classy, for an ubelievably classy artist.

[imusic07sirach]

is it lip sync????

[aquamarine11500]

@imusic07sirach No.

Live Christmas special with live band and a live Mariah.

[imusic07sirach]

@aquamarine11500 ok....

[esettle0]

@imusic07sirach clearly not

[jakey1126]

that smokey tone to her voice is back...soo spine tingling

[kindless100]

Christmas is one of the most beautiful celebration...When I listen carols in anytime of the year I remember how it was my Christmas when I was a child...That warm from all the people and the joy...I'm almost 16 but when I listen to songs like this I feel like I am 6...I miss my childhood...:-<

Too bad that I can't turn the time...

[gaygodarchuleta]

Now I put the Christmas album back on my iPod even though its nearly May :)

[manilapoetry]

I love the excellent use of that whipsery tone of hers, very apt and perfect. It's like an instrument of it's own, beautiful, mellifluous and hypnotic.

[nicholasliha]

Mariah Carey just gave me chills that went down to my legs... and im in the friggin tropics. this performance will be remembered up to a hundred years later...

[wilfredo77alvarez]

LOVE THAT SONG

[MimiDahhling30]

this is my fave performance from the special

[MultiNarimen]

She still has it.

To all the haters you can`t take it away from her!!!!

[maya77771]

why she look fat????????

[MCLAMB4LIFE1]

@maya77771 shes pregnant with twins!!!

[natorpen]

@MCLAMB4LIFE1 still, why she look fat?

[scm5186]

@natorpen Did you bump your head? LOL jokes. She was still Pregnant here!

[capcomfighter13]

@maya77771 because you are too damn stupid retarded and blind as a bat to see that she was preggers! BTW, take some english lessons, dope.

[MarkissBeauty]

this is how it sounded live...i was there!

[alexcarey010888]

I Love music forever^^

[VocalRuns]

gosh that voice is just one of a kind! it's so distinct, the voice itself is a trademark. NOBODY sounds like Mariah.

[sizzlemytwizzle91]

@VocalRuns I know. I was just watching her performance of America the Beautiful from 05 and realizing how unique her voice is. There are many good vocalists but none can have such an individual style and possess such character as hers does. Whether she's tearing up a jazzy number like this or effortlessly cooing over a fast tempo song you immediately identify Mariah. I love it.

[sizzlemytwizzle91]

I love how she sings, "Sleigh bells in the air" at 1:08. Her voice continues to stun me to this day.

[bornintheusa]

no here she was about 5 months pregnant and with twins so be quiet your supposed to gain more with multiples than you are with a single baby and she was on progesterone before conception and during her first trimester because of a previous miscarriage so leave her alone

[mimimc]

perfect!

[likewhateva1]

wow. my favourite christmas song from my favourite christmas special.

and she sang it perfectly.

she should do a jazzy lounge album as it would be beautiful.

the 2 people who pressed dislike are clearly a bah humbug!

[HoneyGotMeHooked]

I hate how they dubbed half of half the performances. This is the least dubbed one

[jesparza562]

@HoneyGotMeHooked the reason why this isnt as dubbed compared to the others is because it was recorded in a very live setting. meaning she didn't have to spend a month in the studio doing all the background vocals and layering. this is a string composition with great vocals

[jakey1126]

@HoneyGotMeHooked its not really dubbed how u think..dubbing can be a lot of different things..in this show the crowd and noise around was lowered a bit and her voice enhanced in sound so u can hear her better..

[jesparza562]

when the music industry can come up with another voice that has a tone even close to mariah's , they will have a winner..

[GuidoJuno]

Amazing!! Beyond words!! And this is my favorite song on MCIIYa as well. I just can't stop listening to it ever since I got the album. And despite many complaints, I love that she added the Lucy & Linus theme at the beginning!! You're the best Mariah! And for that, we be hold you! Astonishing, astonishing, MARIAH CAREY!

[gonzal07ot]

I love Mariah Carey as a musician/vocalist... her personality? I've always had mixed feelings.... BUT! I must say.... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PREGNANT MARIAH! That "let me get myself comfy on this couch because my feet hurt!" pregnant Mariah! For the first time in a long long time, I almost actually find her relatable!

[Chinnyboy91]

My favorite christmas song, done by the best female singer alive today. Mariah I love you, and thank you for showing the haters that you still kick major ass

[caviboy1984]

JUST STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[caviboy1984]

JUST STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­1

[nottheone1978]

I LOVE U MARIAH...NICE CHARLIE BROWN INTERLUDE...

[jjhello22]

wow, my god, this is wonderful

[RashaadRiley]

Um, WOW!

[CarlaJou1]

i can't even know what to say. *sigh* mc you the truth

[southerlynn]

Mariah Carey - Most successful heifer on the Billboard charts - no other heifer comes close. Seriously, though, what happened to her career? People used to care about her.

[cindy925ya]

nobody can sing LIVE so beautiful like her ~~~~!!!!

[blazingpapichulo]

@mimi10115. I just thought she sounded a lil flat around 1:40 when she came out the whisper. But the more I hear it the more it dosent bother me.

[rdmtjr]

This is a real 100% live performance by MARIAH CAREY

Her MAGICAL DEVINE VOICE given by GOD is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and no one can even close to her

Only haters can tell that this 100% live performance is lipped or whatever because they obviously jealous and they can't accept that MARIAH CAREY is the best than their what so called IDOL

Real LAMBS of MARIAH CAREY can tell that this 100% live

And no negative statements can change the fact that MARIAH CAREY is the greatest singer all time.

[rdmtjr]

MARIAH CAREY is still and always the best than MADONNA, CELINE and WHITNEY as of today

Why? There are 5 reason

1. Still always making record than the 3

2. Still on top of music business than the 3

3. Most active and popular than the 3

4. Most influencial female singer of all time

5. She's the one and only no rival unique MARIAH CAREY when it comes to mastery of singing.

All of the LAMBS on earth are thankfully lucky and proud to one and only queen of music MARIAH CAREY.

[southerlynn]

@rdmtjr Honey, you are deluded. Quit embarrassing yourself. Lol!

[glamorizedmC]

I loved how MC used her falsetto to make this song sound really relaxing. this song is my fav. from the new album! :)

[rdmtjr]

This is a real 100% live performance by MARIAH CAREY

[Crzymofo69]

Excellent use of her whisper register!

[Tonyeu1]

flawless angle's voice ~

[cr8xlns]

Such a beautiful song...

[angelflyM]

To anyone you Know who has said that Mariah can't sing anymore or could never sing in the first place, dirct them to this video.

[CoolVideoWatcher101]

wow resting and this is what happens. :3

[Smuckerdoodles]

wow...pregnancy is already making her look chunky!

[angelflyM]

@Smuckerdoodles Nick Cannon had just announced yesterday that they are having twins!

[sentfromupabove]

@Smuckerdoodles Already? lol she is 6/7 months pregnant.

[MariahCracky]

@Smuckerdoodles she's on her way of becoming like her idol, aretha franklin

[aquamarine11500]

@MariahCracky You ass she's pregnant,and just because Aretha's weight got out hand doesn't mean it'll happen to Mariah.It's all about genetics,MC could get big when she gets older..like Chaka Khan ,but i doubt she'd get that big as Aretha is.

Also Aretha even in her younger days was never super slim.Aretha has always been "Thick".Mariah is big because of twins,after she has her children she'll probably hit the gym and be back to normal 3 months tops.

[aquamarine11500]

@MariahCracky You need to stop trolling,it makes you seem immature when you insinuate that a pregnant person is fat..when they can't help it because they have other life occupying there body, which stretches them.I'm sure you mother was " On her way to becoming like Aretha" when she was with child.

Now stop hating and sit your ass down,if you don't like Mariah then stay away from her vids so you want even have to look at her,hear her etc...

[colombiacrack88]

AMAZING! Best version ever.. so melancholic yet festive, something only she can do. 

[gullimh]

Wow her voice is really in shape, didn't she sing all I want for christmas?

[angelflyM]

@gullimh yes, she sang the extra festive version

[jasun19720]

This shows that the woman still got it! I love her!

[vistaprime]

@jasun19720 no it shows she's working at getting it back. she's come a long way from two or three years ago when her voice was a hot mess.

[gangstaladie]

this makes me very happy!!

[AndrewjMark]

One of my favorite holiday songs performed by one of my favorite artists. Thank you for posting. Mariah is legendary!

[keybugwill]

I so love the Charlie Brown Christmas Special!

[JayArEmDee]

I think I've fallen in love with Mariah all over again...

[tinahussein]

Love it!!

[haroldking]

CLASSICALLY GREAT.. A POTENTIAL NUMBER ONE SONG..

[Charmion1]

Beautiful. Love that drummer

[blazingpapichulo]

Hott. But does anyone think that 1:39 was intentional or just a error?

[mabuhaymc]

@blazingpapichulo error? can't see any...

[RiPcOrDz83]

@blazingpapichulo Intentional! I'm Pretty Sure She Did It By Purpose

[aquamarine11500]

@blazingpapichulo that wasa vocal run,she did that intentionally with the piano.

[mimi10115]

@blazingpapichulo I don't see anything. What is it that you see?
