You didn't miss much. It was pretty much an infomercial for her two Christmas albums. It was cute, but reminded me of those Thanksgiving specials that Beyonce has been doing.

There was a LOT of lipsyncing.

You know,I was trying to figure out if she was singing live or not. Do you think she chose to lip sync since it was a big live televised special and too much pressure? I know she can really sing live. I've seen footage of her recently where she sounds stronger these days.

I don't think she lipsynced the entire show, but you could tell that a lot of the vocals were pre-recorded. I think it was that way because she had extremely high notes after each song.

Lip sync or not, it was still a "cute" special. Nothing was a surprise. Her performance of "Oh Santa" made me like the song. I didn't care for it before seeing the visual performance for some reason. I also liked the performance of "When Christmas Comes" and "All I Want For Christmas".

Yep! There were parts of it that she lip-synched. But, I think it was a wise choice. No need of being like Nippy - croaking thru the songs and ending up being the laughing stock for years to come.lol

I didn't think there was much lipsyncing apart from the chorus sections. Also, is it me or does every time Mariah sing loud her mic always seems to be lower than her backup singers? I know she was singing the main verses live, but the music drowns the volume of her voice.
