Mariah Carey shocked both her supporters and critics when she announced that she would appear on Justin Bieber’s ‘Under the Mistletoe’ album. Now, just hours after the release of a preview of their duet on the diva’s classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, the song has surfaced in it’s entirety.
‘Under the Mistletoe’ will also include appearances from Boyz II Men, Busta Rhymes and Usher, who worked with Bieber on a cover of ‘The Christmas Song’. Listen to ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ below:
Basically, this version song is the identical to the ‘Extra Festive’ edition of the track included on Carey’s ‘Merry Christmas II You’ with additional ad libs at the start, a verse from Bieber and whistle register flourishes at the end. Unfortunately, Bieber did nothing to improve and it was adulterated by his flat attempts at executing vocal runs.
However, what this track provided was something very important -the first glimpse of Carey’s post-pregnancy voice. Her multifaceted tone sounded rich and exuberant as she employed the jazzier approach to her singing in the opening ad libs.
It seems that Carey has truly been inspired by her duet with Tony Bennett to use a more ad hoc style of singing. Hopefully, she will continue this trend in her live performances, avoid lip-syncing and show the auto-tuned Pop stars of today’s generation what a real diva can do!
