Does that mean it automatically sounds good? No. It was cheesy as hell.

Kirk Franklin is a gospel producer and choral director. That is his way of hyping the choir. I think the song was fantastic and the outro was amazing. A great Christmas song to listen to by a fire at home.

I disagree. Mariah is at a stage in her career where she can have fun and experiment and not worry about a 2-3 minute radio edit. This is her having fun with her art. Sorry for all those that missed that and expect an All I Want For Christmas part 2.

I agree. We all know that she cannot have another smash hit at this point of her career except of AIWFCIUY. The reasons are so many and just to mention a few: ageism, the way the music is consumed right now, stigma around her persona etc. But she doesn't have anything to prove and she can play and experiment as much as she wants. I am so glad she continues to give us new music and we need to appreciate that fact because so many artists stop to be creative at this age.

I honestly think this is just a cultural difference. Kirk Franklin is one of the most prolific gospel recording artists of the last 30 years. He's a songwriter, composer, and producer, so that's why he's hyping the choir. This kind of song structure is very typical for gospel artists.

Considering he helped produce this song, you can't NOT have him on the track. That's his choir in it at the end of the day.

It is actually "Fa la la Fall In Love" And Kirk is a Gospel artist so she integrated him into the mix to enhance her RnB Gospel vision of the song. Its supposed to sound like a church choir at the end.

I’ve been listening to Kirk Franklin since forever so I knew what I was getting with him. Mariah is always a beast. She is music! I will say this, enunciation is a definite problem with newer artists in this day and age like Khalid. They all mumble their words, which makes it really hard for me to listen to mainstream pop music these days. I know of him, but don’t know his music.

Great analysis :) Such an exciting time in Mariah’s career. I sometimes look at the scale and longevity of an artist like Aretha Franklin. She had many hits, accomplishments and accolades even in the later half of her career. I feel like Mariah is just now stepping into that stage of her life and I’m happy she is getting recognition. Still not enough in my opinion!

See this is the issue with people putting out songs that are like 2-2:30 minutes. They only do it for radio play and for streams...I'm happy that Mariah is having fun doing long songs, I know she has been making longer songs like this so I hope people don't feel the same way because it's "long"

I loved the song. Anyone who knows Mariah knows that it is absolutely like her to merge her music with an artist like Kirk Franklin. It's not r&b or rap actually lol, but has gospel elements in the second half. There is also a radio edit which you might prefer. I don't think she was trying to make another All I want for Christmas song. I felt like the style of this one is really for lambs and I love that. She doesn't need another #1. Also I think Mariah's diction is amazing even here, Khalid was the one who was harder to understand. But some of Mariah's songs are intentionally done in this style. Her Butterfly album is the perfect example of this.

For all the comments about male vocalists she could have chosen - she’s already collaborated with all of them. Mariah is about trying new things with new people and always has been since day 1. Khalid has his own vibe and style and has stayed true to that, whilst melding really smoothly with MC. No complaints in that choice. Plus his PJs are to die for 😂 Loved the gospel too - not for her just to “show off” … if you read her book and know how strong the Lambs have been pushing for more gospel, you’ll see why she’s added this element too. The whistles take the chorus to the next level! Without all the bells & whistles though (literally), the melody and arrangement alone are beautiful. Loved it

It’s a gospel outro section the main version ends earlier. Kirk is gospel. Otherwise the song is a normal length really. As a body of work what she’s done bringing the musicians together and incredible singers, building that song from scratch is phenomenal, what a great talent and ability to bring that idea together and turn into what was literally a seed from Mariah’s brain . Khalid with his signature sound and Kirks gospel and Mariah’s song writing of the lyrics and melody. Genius.

I thought the whole song was fantastic loved the RNB and Rap change! The Whistles were incredible! Khalid was hard to hear but it was great to see Mariah collab with other artists especially chart toppers like Khalid!
