"The legendary Mariah Carey's updated version of Merry Christmas is nothing short of astonishing! On the second disc she updates her now classic performances from the album's original 1994 release. Her vocals are amazing and sound as good as ever as she takes these songs into the stratosphere. Mariah's singing is inspired and she demonstrates that even after 15 years in the music business she is still reaching new highs in artistry and vocal performance. Mariah has taken the best, and best-selling Christmas album ever made and made it BETTER!!! With her enormous talent fully on display, Mariah delivers a CD that is her perfect way of saying "Merry Christmas" to us all."

Hot!

"Received this today, from Amazon.com from my friend Chellie, for Christmas, from my wishlist. I'm so happy to have it because of the 2 bonus tracks and the wonderful, magical videos on the DVD side. I never realized the CD was re-released in DualDisc format until 1 month ago. I've already got the original 1994 release, which has been played so many times, it's glowing. Every year, Mariah Carey puts me into the spirit with her many styles of Christmas songs. Whether it's a gospel delight, a love ballad or a traditional Christmas song, this album brings nothing but holiday cheer to my life.

Customer Notes:



- The Audio side of this disc does not conform to CD specs, therefore will not play on SOME CD and DVD players!

- FBI Anti-Piracy Warning: Unauthorized copying is punishable under federal law

- DVD Video

- NTSC Format (USA and Canada + Others)

- There is only 1 Disc in this package!!!

- When you insert the Disc with the green side up, it is for playing the DVD

- Due to the disc being double sided, it's fragile and highly sensitive to fingerprints & dirt/grease



The sound quality is clear & crisp and makes the CD a joy to listen to, even after 12 years. The CD should play in a SONY discman...given it's a newer model of discman. Some portable CD players may not be able to play it because the technology wasn't the same as now.



Upon viewing the videos, I realized just how much love & devotion Mariah puts into her singing and her onstage performances. And the home video footage in the videos is really special because we see Mariah behind the scenes, rather than all glitzy and in front of the press. Anyone who buys this item will like it more, even if they were disappointed because of some small things like songs not being included, or the CD not being expanded enough.



It still makes a lovely Christmas gift and it will continue to brighten up your Christmas holiday each time you listen."
