0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:08.060

0:00:11.930 --> 0:00:16.030
<v Speaker 1>color of choice? It is, it is definitely, I'm trying

0:00:16.030 --> 0:00:21.940
<v Speaker 1>to be very royal Mariah's christmas, the magic continues set

0:00:21.940 --> 0:00:26.030
<v Speaker 1>to debut globally on december 3rd. How are you going

0:00:26.030 --> 0:00:29.389
<v Speaker 1>to talk last year's special? Because that was fantastic. What

0:00:29.390 --> 0:00:32.690
<v Speaker 1>can we expect? Oh my gosh, first of all, thank you,

0:00:32.700 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you liked it, thank you for watching. We

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.310
<v Speaker 1>had such a hard time getting that together because it

0:00:39.310 --> 0:00:41.870
<v Speaker 1>was the beginning of Covid, I mean, having that many

0:00:41.870 --> 0:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>people and all the rules and everybody had to be

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.140
<v Speaker 1>covid tested twice a day, like it was a lot.

0:00:46.150 --> 0:00:49.350
<v Speaker 1>So this year we were just thankful we wanted to

0:00:49.350 --> 0:00:52.140
<v Speaker 1>bring more eyes back to the special and we also

0:00:52.140 --> 0:00:55.940
<v Speaker 1>wanted to enhance it and create something new. So joseph Kahn,

0:00:55.940 --> 0:00:58.660
<v Speaker 1>who was one of my favorite favorite people,

0:00:58.740 --> 0:01:01.540
<v Speaker 1>to me, one of the best directors I've ever worked with,

0:01:01.550 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>he got on board and we have this kind of very,

0:01:05.250 --> 0:01:09.709
<v Speaker 1>very fabulous deco moment and just the production value is

0:01:09.709 --> 0:01:13.790
<v Speaker 1>spectacular To me, The kids are, they're my kids, we

0:01:13.790 --> 0:01:15.389
<v Speaker 1>just go through a lot of different moments as a

0:01:15.390 --> 0:01:17.179
<v Speaker 1>brand new song I wrote. I don't know if you've

0:01:17.180 --> 0:01:20.990
<v Speaker 1>heard it fall in love with christmas, Love it. Love it. Yes,

0:01:20.990 --> 0:01:25.090
<v Speaker 1>so it's featuring Khalid and Kirk franklin. It's sort of

0:01:25.090 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>like a love song that then leads you into a

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.740
<v Speaker 1>gospel moment that, you know, Kirk franklin brings to the

0:01:30.740 --> 0:01:32.940
<v Speaker 1>table so easily

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>you

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.150
<v Speaker 1>get festive work.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>But what

0:02:37.850 --> 0:02:43.140
<v Speaker 1>Mariah's household like for christmas is 1000 times more festive

0:02:43.150 --> 0:02:46.929
<v Speaker 1>at home. Oh no, it's totally bleak. We have no decorations, nothing,

0:02:47.010 --> 0:02:52.090
<v Speaker 1>of course it's festive santa claus comes the reindeer come

0:02:52.090 --> 0:02:55.780
<v Speaker 1>we go on a two horse open sleigh, like I'm

0:02:55.780 --> 0:02:59.500
<v Speaker 1>not playing games, it's christmas, you're serious about it. Yes,

0:02:59.500 --> 0:03:02.420
<v Speaker 1>I am. What is life without something like that? Really?

0:03:02.430 --> 0:03:05.210
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine it. Like I really love it that much,

0:03:05.220 --> 0:03:07.900
<v Speaker 1>I think other people like it and they're like okay cool,

0:03:07.900 --> 0:03:10.470
<v Speaker 1>it's christmas and then we'll do something else. I'm like,

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.950
<v Speaker 1>I want the whole entire year for christmas

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.210
<v Speaker 1>but I love, I love all types of music and

0:03:15.210 --> 0:03:17.419
<v Speaker 1>doing all this stuff, it's just that I truly do

0:03:17.419 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>love the holidays. So you see all of us for

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.660
<v Speaker 1>feeling festive. So the theme of your christmas special is magic.

0:03:23.660 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>If you could have one magical power, what would it

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.670
<v Speaker 1>be Mariah? And how would you use it every day?

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>The theme is christmas

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.910
<v Speaker 1>magical came into the thing when everybody was like, oh,

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:40.470
<v Speaker 1>magical christmas, EMC merry christmas, Mariah, Carey. Like somehow they're

0:03:40.470 --> 0:03:42.790
<v Speaker 1>all m C. S right, I think the magic of

0:03:42.790 --> 0:03:47.010
<v Speaker 1>it is like the whimsical childlike view of christmas when

0:03:47.010 --> 0:03:49.350
<v Speaker 1>you really are looking up for santa.

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.310
<v Speaker 1>Like I I've had so many incredible moments where I

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.410
<v Speaker 1>just looked up and seen like a shooting star in

0:03:54.410 --> 0:03:57.590
<v Speaker 1>the middle of like a field of snow and it's christmas,

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not making this up. These things make my life special,

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.020
<v Speaker 1>they make it different and I don't know that everybody

0:04:04.030 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>holds onto that kind of childhood

0:04:05.940 --> 0:04:08.370
<v Speaker 1>shall like quality. But that's something that I love. We

0:04:08.370 --> 0:04:10.190
<v Speaker 1>love that about you, Mariah so much I want to

0:04:10.190 --> 0:04:12.860
