How sad. When artists start remaking songs they've already recorded, it means either they are all washed-up or almost there. I just don't understand why she doesn't take a break? This CD is not going to sell, certainly nowhere near what her first Christmas album sold. I hate to say it, but, recording holiday songs with Jermaine Dupri and Teddy Riley??? She's going to be the laughing stock.

Remixing past efforts? Is she that desperate to win back the hearts of her old fans that abandoned her? She's done.

She needs to fuckin retire! Her voice is long gone and who wants to hear her strain and moan over some Christmas jingles? Just go have kids and maybe she'll grow up for once.

But artists perform from their catalogs all the time! She obviously will be performing the song again because she wrote it and it is classic. Maybe she is a little bored with the original arrangement. Can't she record another Christmas album after 16 years? I am guessing if she is recording another Christmas album, it is pretty much a given that the classic song that she wrote is expected to be there in some sort of rendition. Certainly it would be one of the top requested songs when she is to go out and promote an album during the Christmas season.

well im the last to stick up for MC, despite being a fan, her past albums have been so interchangeable as far as direction and diversity, they have been nothing but one big long song, mid tempo that is. HOWEVER, artists do fucking Xmas albums all the time, im tired of hearing how people are done when they have made zillions and still are around 20 years after they started, apply that fucking term to people like Kesha and Justin Beiber who are in for about 6 months, anyway the whole music scene in this country is not relevant anyway, so what is she "washed up" from?

Agreed 100%, I'm not a hardcore MC fan myself or anything, but she's had a really really good career so far..She can make her Christmas song 100000 times over, it doesn't make her washed up or anything.

She has a really awesome voice and longevity to her career. You can't and will never say that about the manufactured pieces of crap like Kesha and Justin Beiber, at all.

Isn't she having a baby?

I'm starting to believe so, this was taken just yesterday:

Her baby daddy already said she was pregnant.

In a statement released last month, Nick said she's not expecting.

Wait, I read that he let it slip to some reporters or something.

Yeah, and Jay-Z and Beyonce released statements that they weren't dating when it was obvious that they were about ready to walk down the aisle in holy matrimony. Other than a visit to Brazil lately, Mariah seems to be keeping a low profile. She's dropped out of the Tyler Perry movie, and she was previously seen coming in and out of fertility clinics. In addition, America's Got Talent has a nationwide tour going on this fall with the top 12 finalists, but the tour is being hosted by Jerry Springer and not Mariah's hubby and curent AGT host Nick Cannon. I wonder why? My guess is that she's trying to keep her stuff on the DL to avoid the paparazzi.

As for the Christmas album, unless she's putting out new songs or performing songs she didn't do on her first album, I don't know why she needs to do this. She already has a classic Christmas standard on par with Nat King Cole and Judy Garland (who woulda thunk it ); she doesn't need to change or alter it.

If she's like 39, she may be having miscarriages.

Yep... I think Nick's only saying she's not to get the press/cameramen away in case it does happen... least I hope he ain't that clueless about his wife's body, he's with her like 24-7, being married and all.

She turned 40 on March 27.

What's so wrong about Mariah rerecording "All I Want For Christmas Is You" again?

The Carpenters did the same thing with "Merry Christmas Darling" back in 1978 and no one said shit.

In fact, the 78 version is the one getting airplay to this day!

Yup she's pregnant As far as the Christmas album is concerned, if its a mature effort I wouldn't care.

According to reports, the album will be titled Merry Christmas II You. It will include new material as well as covers of holiday standards.
