Another great item that American fans will have to miss!

"To start- this limited edition CD is awesome! A Great new remix of a new classic holiday song- along with the original- an acoustic/live version of the classic "O Holy Night"- and A Club Mix of "Joy To the World"- the Cover is cool- and it's a must for all Mariah fans- The bad news- up until last year- the remix was unavailble in the US- and two of the other tracks are still navailable- and more than likely never will be- why? because of out wonderful money-loving RIAA!- No more singles, no more mixes, no more bonus tracks, no more b-sides- unless of course you live anywhere outside the US- you're going to miss out- Umfortunately record companies have yet to figure out the connection between Internetr Piracy- and the fact that singles, remixes, among other works are almost entirely unavilable in the US- go figure- but anyway- you gotta get this single-"
GREAT SINGLE

"This single is really good. It has the original version and a really cool remix to it. There is also a live version of "O holy night", Mariah's voice is soooo awsome in it. And finally there is a remix of "Joy To The World", it is a really cool remix. Even if your not a Mariah fan you'll still enjoy this."
Thank God for Import Singles!!!

"I play this almost year round. I was lucky to find it in an obscure record store with plenty of collectible "goodies" in it, and the picture I have on the front of the CD is totally different! I might just buy this one to get this caricature of Miss M., it's even cuter! All I have to say is anyone who takes Afrikka Bambaataa's "Planet Rock"--an absolute break dance anthem---and loops it into a Christmas track? It doesn't get any better than that. This cd rocks, it's a shame it's only available in an import. Don't miss this one!"
Mariah makes Christmas danceable!!!!

"I have had Mariah's Merry Christmas CD since 1994 when it was released and I love it so much more than anything that has ever been put out by any other artist who has done a Christmas album!!! Mariah has the most beautiful, powerful, breathtaking, soaringly 7 octave range in the world!!! All I Want For Christmas is written by Mariah and it's one of my all time favorites because it's so fun and danceable and I dance and sing along to it whenever it's on!! Mariah's version of Joy To The World is incredible, Mariah really knows how to turn this classic into a dance hit!! I totally love how Mariah made a club mix to Joy To The World and the music video is awesome too! I like how she incorporated that one part from Three Dog Night's Joy To The World in "Joy To The World, All The Boys And Girls" and I just love how she is so upbeat and everything!!!
I once let a guy friend I have who is also a Christian like I am, hear Mariah's Joy To The World and his words exactly were "This is a drinking song" and I was like, this is NOT a drinking song!! I don't take things like that seriously because I know Mariah meant no harm to include those few lyrics which also has all three real Joy To The World verses in it, it just made the song more unique and I love it!! Besides, the part "Joy To The World, All The Boys And Girls" fits Christmas perfectly, there's nothing wrong with putting that one part in the classic Joy To The World. Now, if she included the verses from Three Dog Night's song, there would be a problem! Yes, I am a Christian and I honestly see nothing wrong with just incorporating that one little part into the song that just makes it more unique! O Holy Night is by far the best song ever and Mariah's version could never be topped!! Mariah truly has the voice of an angel!!! I also like the remix of All I Want For Christmas that has a mix of hip-hop and R&B. This CD single is definitely something I will be listening to forever!"
