From the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles, ABC Television Network presents international superstar Mariah Carey in the music special, "Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to You," MONDAY, DECEMBER 13 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET). The special will feature Mariah performing songs from her new holiday album, Merry Christmas II You, available Tuesday, November 2nd on the Island Def Jam Music Group.

Viewers are in for a special treat as Carey sings unforgettable renditions of yuletide classics and original tunes, including her new holiday hit, "Oh, Santa!" In the spirit of giving, the program will also feature Carey surprising some very special fans and helping to make their wishes come true.

Joel Gallen will direct the special and serve as executive producer alongside Carey.

Carey's new holiday CD, Merry Christmas II You, is her 13th studio album and features a selection of traditional yuletide classics + 4 original songs composed by her (including first single "Oh Santa!") and a brand new recording of her all-time standard, "All I Want for Christmas Is You." Merry Christmas II You follows up her worldwide multi-million-selling Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel (released September 2009), her multi-platinum E=MC_ (2008), and worldwide 10 million selling The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). The Emancipation of Mimi generated three Grammy Awards (including Best Contemporary R&B Album), two #1 singles, and countless more honors during its 18-month chart stay. Soundscan's biggest-selling album of 2005, Mimi, featured "We Belong Together" (Grammy winner for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song) and "Don't Forget About Us," Carey's 16th and 17th #1 career singles, respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's.

Three years later, Carey surpassed Elvis when "Touch My Body" (from E=MC2) became her 18th #1 Hot 100 hit. "Touch My Body" spent two weeks at the top, Carey's 78th and 79th cumulative career weeks at #1, which tied Elvis' long-standing all-time high of 79 weeks at #1, as calculated by Billboard. Carey is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 50 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits. The success of E=MC2 brought total sales of Carey's albums, singles and videos to more than 200 million worldwide, distancing her even further from the pack as the top-selling female recording artist in history.

@Beyoncefan1000 well technically, mariah has a 5-octave range with a whistle register, and beyonce has a 3- octave range. so, technically, beyonce has in no way surpassed mariah in vocal ability or skills.

[6princess6Evil6]

this woman is so damn beautiful . love you Mariah!!!

[gypsumfields]

@112bdk range is not a byword for ability/skills

[TheVortexologist]

@aktran8919 she is good when her voice is rested duh, she is mariah carey

[aktran8919]

this can't be live... :O she way past her prime, this can't be! this is so nice, is this some new kind of Autotune???

[YUPnNOPE]

way too much lipping going on for my liking... :(

[J0nathanH051088]

stop comparing, if you dont like mariah go watch someone else. simple as that. i'm here cause i love this woman's voice...dnno why haters even came to this page? think beyonce is so much better then go watch her. yeah?

[gracekelly413]

guys, sometimes reading all these comments about how one singer is better than the other one makes me think, what if we only listened to one artist? like the one you love and fight for here. wouldn't that just be boring? can't we just enjoy all these great artists? I love Beyonce and I love Mariah! They are both something that America should be proud of, why diss any of them, just listen and enjoy :)

@Junglepits your not very bright are you there are 7 octives on a piano not five which Mariah has. though when your pregnant like she was here it's harder to sing and besides most things for television are at least partially lipsynched so get over it and Mariah nearly died to have her twins so give her a break plus your voice changes with age use and stress

Adele @ 2:35 !

@Beyoncefan1000 its over an octave what are you talking about! one octave is huge when in the higher ranges. LMFAO your probably 3 octaves under mariah and like 1 1/2 octaves under from beyonce.

[timsleee]

@112bdk If you know anything about singing then just because you have a higher range doesn't make you the better singer
