The current and previous generations are blissfully ignorant of her other songs. Everything I know by her was learned against my will.

I'm kinda just thinking about how her Christmas album wasn't that big of a deal when it came out, at least not compared to her other stuff. She's he was huge. I never hear anything else from her except for the Christmas song now.

I was more of a Whitney fan.

mistertickertape t1_iwn5v62 wrote

I was in a restaurant in Miami a few years ago and she and some other people were at a table directly next to my and a colleague I was with having dinner.

She refused to speak to the server and would only speak to an assistant that would then speak to the server on her behalf. Probably anecdotal, but every time a 'Which celeb is trash' thread is posted on r/AskReddit, other people tell stories of similar anecdotes involving her.

Ever since I saw how she treated that poor server, I can't listen can't listen to anything by her, especially the Christmas stuff.

I absolutely hate celebrities that are horrible to other people. I didn't particularly like her before, but now I actively dislike her.

Just because you can sing and have money doesn't mean you are better than other people. You should treat everyone with respect.

I heard she starts to lose her powers after December 25th which is why her New Years performance in 2017 went so wrong. For 2018 she made sure to keep enough in reserve to still perform properly.

Has anyone ever even heard of her referred to as the Queen of Christmas? Just the fact that she even attempted this shows how out of touch and egotistical she is.

She has had that moniker since her song "All I Want For Christmas" hit #1 for several Christmas in a row.

I don't consider one recognizable version of a song the epitome of Christmas time, pretty sure most people would agree.

Because of streaming. There’s certainly a discussion to be had about streaming counting towards both the singles chart and the album chart but it’s irrelevant here.

Mariah’s song hits the top every year due to on demand streams. Saying she’s stuck in the 90s when her song is just incredibly popular is out of touch.

Yeah, are public places not just playing it as one song in a massive playlist of Christmas and other seasonal holiday songs?

Surely, without it on a loop by itself, the attribution for whatever lack of mirth one feels about the music is spread out to several songs.

generally_sane t1_iwnr1hl wrote

I actually made it the whole way to through the article, which is the most Mariah Carey I've been able to stand in years. Anyhow, I found this final paragraph to be so funny as that book describes the exact opposite of who she is. "The trademark request outcome hasn't stopped Carey from harnessing all the Christmas phrases she can. She just released a picture book called "The Christmas Princess," a "modern fairy tale" about Little Mariah, who "doesn't have much and doesn't want a lot" besides peace and joy during the holiday season."

Ever hear that one song early, and it's a fucking jam? Then the radio proceeds to play it so much, you wouldn't mind a lobotomy? Now, imagine that process playing out 1/6th of every year for 20+ years.

I understand people's disdain. I like the song, tho, probably because I don't listen to the radio.

I loved the song growing up and still think it is catchy and sweet. It is just so overplayed.

I'm fascinated that All I Want For Christmas is You has grossed more than $60 million since its debut. $2.5 million dollars a year!

Christmas song royalties are coveted. Cheddar showed most Christmas songs are from the 1940s-1950s. Many pop stars make Christmas songs still hoping theirs will remain memorable and become part of the Christmas culture, but few do. Mariah Carey is one of the few modern artists to have a popular Christmas songs.

I'm showing my age here calling her "modern". :)

I understand that Americans that had to live with Christmas music blasting EVERYWHERE every year of their lives must find it irritating after decades, but as someone who adopted this tradition even though my culture is not much into Christmas songs (i mostly play it at my house most of December and half of November) I just hope I never get sick of it because I love it so fucking much.

I wonder when we'll get the yearly post accusing that cold outside song of being abusive.

I don't think this song by Mariah has ever taken over Christmas airwaves in the Philippines where I'm from, though, as a local artist released a song in 1990 ("Christmas in our Hearts") that is the country's preferred memed song that means Christmas has arrived. Which is around September.

It isn't a pop r&b track or whatever All I Want for Christmas is You is, though, so it's not quite so tiresome unless, I guess, one's not particularly into Jesus.
