For years I happily belted out All I Want For Christmas when it was played. It's upbeat, happy. Then about 3 years ago, the stations decided it was the only song of a holiday nature and played it to the point of ruining it for me.

However, Mariah terrifies me. I don't like her music at all. Logically, I recognize the woman has pipes and amazing range. Unfortunately, everything she does sounds like a wounded banshee recorded it. Not my thing.

She did do that fabulous melt down on live TV thing a while back, that was fun.
