It’s become a holiday tradition that Michale Bublé hosts a television spectacular every year.
He performs original Christmas songs and also has guest appearances by other well-known performers.
Mariah Carey is one of the guest stars in his 2013 Christmas special.
It’s worth recalling that Michael Bublé covered Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ on his 2011 album Christmas.
After waiting two years, he finally had the original vocalist on his show.
With her first Christmas album, Merry Christmas, Mariah Carey gave the world a timeless holiday favorite.
So many Christmas movies and albums have featured the song ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You.’As of the year 2017, the song had raked in an estimated $60 million in royalties.
Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff co-wrote and produced the song, which has been a top hit since its 1994 debut. It’s funny how they first didn’t want to record the album.
At the time, this was taken as proof that an artist’s career was on the decline if they released a Christmas album.
For Carey, though, such was not the case.
Just then, she was riding high on the success of her 1993 album, Music Box, which had just won multiple awards and broken sales records.
Carey’s then-husband and producer, Tommy Mottola, was planning Carey’s future endeavors, which included the holiday album.
In that era, ‘there weren’t a lot of performers who had Christmas albums. It wasn’t a well-established field of study at the time, and no one was recording commercially successful new Christmas music.
So, we planned to announce its release as if it were any other album: ‘Hey, you know, we’re putting out a Christmas record. The situation isn’t that serious, Walter Afanasieff said.
And the rest, as they say, is the old history.
Mariah Carey was thrilled to sing her signature song with Michael Bublé.
She stepped up to the microphone in her short red dress and white knee-high boots and sung her heart out.
Together, these two Grammy winners put on a fantastic show. In perfect harmony, they complemented one another.
This performance lacked any trace of ego.
There was no attempt to steal Mariah’s thunder because Michael Bublé understood that this was her signature song.
And Mariah was aware that it was Michael’s concert, so she didn’t steal the thunder.They were both simply trying to put up a good show for the crowd.
Indeed, the spectators had a good time during the show. As they sang, they bopped their heads to the rhythm, clapped their hands, and smiled.
Reason being, due to the song’s widespread recognition, nearly everyone is familiar with its lyrics. And you disagree with it, right?
