Sensationalized swagger from Mariah Carey on Tuesday night was a CBS special I'll watch every year during the holidaze, simply because I liked it.
Yes, there are songs from this concert I'll never listen to again, but for a musical genre I've abandoned, I'll never get tired of hearing seven tunes from "Mariah Carey Merry Christmas to All."
The tunes were all Christmas sounds, including some Mariah Carey originals. Her musical presentation is a peripheral of variety, Carey said, and I agree.
She's beautiful and rich, and despised for it by some. As if it's her fault 1994s, "All I Want for Christmas is You," she co-wrote with Walter Afanasieff has topped every chart list.

The duet Carey sang with her young daughter Monroe, "Away in a Manger" blew me away. Monroe, like her mother has a fantastic singing voice.
The songs "Christmas Wrapping" and "Oh Santa" were played back to back and it was a great combo featuring Monroe and other children including Carey's son, Moroccan.
The two tap dancers, Chole Arnold and Maud Arnold showcased their skills on the song "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," and Drew Barrymore did a great job introducing the shows final song, her 1994 gem, "All I Want for Christmas is You."

Carey is a star for a reason, and this live show, "Mariah Carey Merry Christmas to All!" will rock my socks off every year during the holidays. Four and a half stars easy for this musical extravaganza.
