All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey
This modern day holiday classic is probably on everyone's playlist now, every year it goes #1 and is the true new holiday classic. First released in 1994 it shot up the charts and became a holiday favorite. In 2008 I notice how this song has stood the test of time and is now a classic. Check any Christmas/Holiday chart and its sitting at #1. Often confused as an older classic it was infact written by Mariah herself for her Christmas album 'Merry Christmas', one of the best selling holiday albums in history. Every year some new pop starlet tries to cover the track much to their dismay it sinks without a trace. Its because Mariah captures the true holiday spirit easily and her voice albiet powerful is also very adorable and relatable. She sings so convincingly, she sounds like someone waiting for Santa to deliver. She waits for her loved one and sings 'All i want for Christmas is you'. The lyrics are filled with holiday nuances and sweet longing laced with a cheerful holiday bells themed beat. Mariah graces the song with her wonderful vocals that go to the highest notes down to the lowest that she manages with ease. Mariah has a unique quality of adding her own touch to every single syllable in her songs, its as if she can emote with albhabets and get away with it.
What's Christmas today without 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'? I personally cant imagine not playing it a million times during the holiday season and millions of people share this enthusiasm. Everywhere you go and notice Christmas spirit, wait awhile and surely Mariah's magical voice resonates soon enough. It brings a smile to my face everytime and i notice how it impacts every generation. I've been to so many Christmas parties and watched people dance to it like children and i've seen children go bonkers dancing to it. I think the purpose of the song is met
Spread some holiday cheer, put on that Santa hat, turn up the speakers
Dance without a care in this world, laughGive in to 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'
