People are always late when it comes to realizing Mariah's music. Honestly, I think she's very underrated. I can name 20 of her songs that would do well today if only the public would open their ears and give her a chance. Just look at the attention her song "It's a Wrap" got. She released that over 10 years ago.

The song has always been really popular but the thing is in 1994 the song wasn't eligible to chart because it wasn't released as a commericial single. No christmas sing was really charting noticed how these christmas songs only touched the chart when Mariah's hit the the chart and since 1956 no christmas song topped the Billboard Chart which speaks how powerful the song was and still is.

She always had a diva side. It was a little more subdued back in the time when she was married but of course here and there, there are clips like "Someone's singing the wrong note" and others from her rehearsals, or a couple of times when she shaded Madonna, defending herself of course. Really, it's just that people don't understand her sense of humor. She literally just does all the over the top stuff for fun and for her fans to enjoy.

If you are not the daughter of a rich person or someone who tries to be seen by the drama you make, and you become THAT famous and successful like Mariah Carey, means that you are extremely talented. Some must say that it is because she married the president of Sony, but it didn't happen at her start and she continued being successful not only without him, even if he tried to sabotage her.

So much of what she says about her life throughout interviews has stay consistent. She's always talking about her love of Christmas She's always talked about growing up poor and not really having much money She's always talked about not wanting to write songs from two personal of an angle, this way fans could relate to more universal lyrics

Actually a sweet and thoughtful, respectful interview in the 90s!

It just amazes me, it took a quarter of a century for the song, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" to reach number one, it should have been number one the year it came out.

Mariah was my idol growing up. She’s 10 years older than me and I remember the day I bought this Christmas cd - I was 15 years old and I went straight home and listened to it from beginning to end. I always loved All I Want for Christmas and she deserves every accolade for it. It’s overplayed now which is a little sad for me because I can’t listen to it as much without getting sick of it. But Mariah is going to go down in history for writing a classic so it’s worth it.

She is an incredible woman

My 4 year old started playing this song on November 1st this year. My kids love it. This and Last Christmas - straight holiday bangers!

I bought the first pressing of the cd when it was released lol. I couldn’t tell you where it is today tho..lost in time, I’m sure. It’s amazing MC’s Christmas album has been a staple in homes for the season now. I knew it was a special Christmas song back in the day..and apparently I wasn’t the only one. It’s wild to think ‘All I Want For Christmas ..’ is the theme of the holiday season. At least the beginning of the Christmas season. It’s not officially a-go for holiday shopping if the song isn’t playing somewhere yet. The lady has a touch for music-it’s amazing!

Somehow this great song got past me until 2003, when it was brought to my attention by the movie Love Actually. I don't know how I missed it, except I didn't watch much tv for a decade or two, and then when I did own one, I never had cable. I don't recall the song making much radio play back then, either. It's a terrific song!

If only she knew!!

I realized I watched this when it aired when they started talking about the reindeer.

This was the time when Mariah was most beautiful, although unhappy.
