Saving the best for celebrations of Mariah Carey

Sometimes it is the coincidences, the unexpected, which circumscribes the history books. When Tommy Mottola, Mariah Carey's husband in 1994, her presented the idea einzusingen a Christmas album, Mariah was reluctant at first, even said that often a Christmas CD is worthwhile only towards the end of a music career. Apparently many Tommy still many arguments and Mariah finally agreed.

Who would have thought that this little album would include 20 years later, the biggest Christmas classics at all? With over 13 million units sold this album is next to Elvis Presley's Christmas album the best selling Christmas entire works of artists in music history. All I want for christmas is you is the one who hit recently become, for Mariah even decades after her death will remain in memory. Over 10 million copies of the song has already been able to sell most - at annually increasing sales figures. Her voice on Merry Christmas is perfect, the videos are enchanting, none the overall concept. The classics are all represented (you take the no less successful second Christmas album to do so), but also new works can be found. Between ballads, gospel and pop music legend, the trolls in our hearts.

Often Mariah is ridiculed in Germany. The crazy diva from the US, which is drawn in Germany to 99% in the mud, rises from the ashes to Weihachten their totgeredeten career and not just in this country but worldwide. From the US to Japan and Australia, and everything in between, Mariah's Christmas music sells itself still best of all. So there must be something that the recent escapades can outweigh and that's just at the end but the music, their passion and their talent.

Merry Christmas (and Merry Christmas II You) belong to hard to! Thank you Mariah for those beautiful moments.
