New York Times乐评
"Oh Santa!"听起来并不像一个公式化的圣诞歌曲，但它本该这样。这首歌收录在咪咪最
新圣诞专辑Merry Christmas II You中，有如驾着驯鹿在雪地悠游跑，并且将女子啦啦队
和轻量级Atlanta bass music融为一体。Carey的声音从中间滑过，还俏皮
的唱到: "I saw him shopping last week/And his new girl was so weak." 圣诞老人
是要充当家庭破坏者吗XDD WHT NOT?
专辑的其他部分穿插着原创作品，带有现代灵魂乐风的When Christmas Comes令人惊叹
当然也有
翻唱作品如First Noel、不少人讨厌的XD小鼓男～
还有充满夜店风的Here Comes Santa Claus
但没有什麽能盖过AIWFCIY的风头！！这首来自於她1994年的Merry Christmas
专辑中的作品已然成为了一首经典。她重制了这首歌曲，即使改变不大，咪咪还是给新作
取名为"Extra Festive"，把这首冠军作品当作给自己的礼物。
MARIAH CAREY: 『MERRY CHRISTMAS II YOU』 (Island Def Jam, $13.98). 「Oh Santa!
」 doesn』t sound like anyone』s idea of a Christmas standard, but maybe it
should. From Mariah Carey』s new holiday album, 「Merry Christmas II You,」 it
』s peppy and buoyant, moving along at reindeer-quick speed, a hybrid of
girl-group harmony and lightweight Atlanta bass music. Ms. Carey』s vocals
are slippery, and she』s naughty things in a nice way: 「I saw him shopping
last week/And his new girl was so weak.」 Santa as home wrecker? Why not? The
rest of this album intersperses originals (a surprisingly modest neo-soul 「
When Christmas Comes」) with classics — a respectful 「First Noël,」 an
aptly baby-making take on 「O Little Town of Bethlehem,」 and 「Here Comes
Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)」 as routed through a strip club.
But nothing beats 「All I Want for Christmas Is You,」 from her 1994 album 「
Merry Christmas,」 one of the great modern holiday albums. So she updates it,
ever so slightly, in a version dubbed 「Extra Festive,」 giving herself the
gift of resting on laurels. JON CARAMANICA
