---- 好久沒有翻譯新聞了( ￣ c￣)y▂ξ ---- 前天在Orpheum劇院（就是拍攝Heartbreaker mv場景的那個）聚集了將近2000位 瑪麗亞凱莉的歌迷，一同錄製這位天后今年的聖誕音樂特輯。 The Orpheum Theatre on Broadway Street in Los Angeles, California had its approximately 2,000 capacity venue filled to the brim with adoring fans donned in their festive Christmas colors for Mariah's ABC Christmas Special taping on Saturday, November 6, 2010. 對這些歌迷而言，這是個別開生面的夜晚。他們有的遠從紐約、德州、芝加哥 甚至是中東搭飛機過來參加。儘管在演唱會開始之前劇院發了聲明稿表示有買票的 歌迷們可以不用在傍晚五點以前就趕來排隊，但有的歌迷還是一大早就出現了。 What an incredible night for all the Mariah Carey fans who came out for the taping, some even travelling from as far as New York, Texas, Missouri, Chicago, and even Israel. An earlier notice from concert organizer 1iota warned people not to line-up until 5pm but this did not deter some fans from being there as early as 8am! When MariahDailyJournal arrived at the venue at 3pm, there were already some 50 fans in line, and more came in hordes as minutes went by, with the queue extending around the 9th and South Spring blocks. 直到晚上七點半終於開放進場。九點左右開始錄製表演，一直到半夜十二點半才結束。 這場演出將會在12月13日晚間於ABC電視台首播。 After the gruesome long wait in chilly Los Angeles weather, at 7:30pm, people were finally let in with the black wristband holders (the more festive and family-oriented ones) going in first, followed by the regular blue wristband holders. The taping started at 9:00pm and ended at 12:30am. It was an incredible show that you don't want to miss! Be sure to tune in to the ABC special, Mariah Carey: Merry Christmas to You, to air Monday, December 13 at 9pm ET. 演出曲目與上台演出的人員數如下： 1. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Intro/Oh Santa! [Mariah Carey, orchestra (16), band (5), background singers (4), dancers (6), kid dancers (8)] 咪咪穿了件紅色的短裙登場。當前奏響起時，大夥兒被通知要保持安靜，直到Oh Santa 音樂進來時才開始鼓掌喧囂。擔任background的是Trey Lorenz, Mary Ann Tatum, Sherry Tatum,以及Melonie Daniels。 Mariah hit the stage wearing a cute short red dress. Everyone was told to be quiet during the "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" Intro and give their loudest cheers as soon as "Oh Santa!" came on. Background singers were Trey Lorenz, Mary Ann Tatum, Sherry Tatum, and Melonie Daniels. 2. O Little Town of Bethlehem/Little Drummer Boy Medley [Mariah Carey, orchestra (16), band (5), background singers (4), choir (16), drummer boy (1)] 咪咪換了件黑色的短洋裝和鑲著亮片的細高跟鞋（嘖）。在表演這首歌之前，她出了 個考題：「有誰知道我在這裡拍了哪部mv啊？」顯然大部分的歌迷都知道答案，咪咪 也順便哼了一小段Heartbreaker。然後她說她的耳機好像又有些小狀況了～ Mariah back on stage wearing a short black dress with sparkly sequined stilletos (she would wear the same ensemble for the next 8 songs). Before she performed the song, Mariah had a little trivia question for everyone. She asked, "What video did I film in this theatre?" Most fans got it right, and she sang a snippet of "Heartbreaker." After the song, she thanked the orchestra and mentioned how she was having trouble hearing with her studded ear monitor. 3. When Christmas Comes [Mariah Carey, band (5), background singers (4), dancers (6)] 咪咪介紹這是首和James Poyser為聖誕專輯寫的新歌。後來她從Jingle Bells取樣 那句重新錄了一次。咪咪說：「怎麼好像結束得有點鳥啊？跟當初排練的不一樣 耶＠＠」 Introduces "When Christmas Comes": "This is a new song that I wrote with James Poyser for the Christmas album." Redoes the song starting from the "Jingle Bells" line later on, she says, "I didn't feel like it ended," and that it was not what they rehearsed. 4. Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)/Housetop Celebration ft. Randy Jackson [Mariah Carey, Randy Jackson, band (5), background singers (4), dancers (6)] Randy Jackson上台演出bass，也不知道是不是忘了安排他或Trey Lorenz來負責背景 裡頭口白的部分，後來那些rap都不是他們兩個念的。（謎：接唱機也負責rap嗎？:p） Introduces Randy Jackson on bass guitar. They were undecided who was doing the spoken part of the song, if it was Randy or Trey Lorenz. Neither did it. 5. Christmas Time Is In The Air Again [Mariah Carey, orchestra (16), band (5), piano-Eric Daniel (1)] 搬出了一台演奏鋼琴。咪咪道出感人肺腑的聖誕許願：「今晚在台下有一位需要腎臟 捐贈的孩子，今年最大的聖誕願望就是希望他能夠早日得到那顆攸關性命的腎臟。」 A grand piano was brought out on stage for Eric Daniel. Mariah introduced a Make A Wish child who was in the audience: "The real, real Christmas wish is for a kidney for McKenzie." 6. O Holy Night [Mariah Carey, band (5), background singers (4), choir (16)] Talked to the audience while things were being moved out and around the stage. Piano, orchestra out; band back on stage. Mariah introduced the song by saying: "I recorded this song on my first Christmas album and we want to do it tonight for you as well." 7. Joy To The World [Mariah Carey, band (5), background singers (4), dancers (6), choir (16)] Introduces the song: "(The director would love me to introduce this song) This is again another song from my first Christmas album Merry Christmas, one of the biggest Christmas albums ever." 8. Charlie Brown Christmas [Mariah Carey, band (5), piano-Big Jim Wright (1), dancers (6)] 演奏鋼琴再度被搬上台，咪咪介紹了演奏鋼琴的Big Jim Wright，順便哼了一小段 Fly Like A Bird。背景這時出現了Snoopy裡頭的查理布朗的畫面。咪咪站在鋼琴 旁演唱完這首歌後說，「期待等會兒特別嘉賓登場！」 Grand piano back on stage. Mariah introduces Big Jim Wright and sings a snippet of "Fly Like A Bird." The performance starts off with a scene from Charlie Brown playing on an old vintage TV on stage. Mariah stands behind the grand piano and sings. Leaves stage and says: "I'll be back with a special guest!" 9. O Come All Ye Faithful/Hallelujah Chorus ft. Patricia Carey [Mariah Carey, Patricia Carey, orchestra (16), band (5), background singers (4), choir (16), piano-Big Jim Wright (1)] 當瑪麗亞帶著她的母親來到台上表演這首歌時，可以說是整場節目的最高潮。然而 大概是大夥兒太過熱情地鼓譟，瑪媽媽在該唱的時候沒跟上拍子。雖然一開頭有點 落掉，但接下的聲樂非常震撼有力量。表演結束之後母女相擁且互相鳥叫（？） 為求完美後來她們又重錄了一次，咪咪這次要觀眾別太high免得瑪媽媽聽不到該進來 的cue。 XDDDD This has got to be the highlight of the show! Mariah introduced her "very special guest, my mother Patricia Carey!" The fans were all on their feet cheering when Patricia's part was about to come on. Despite missing her cue, she gave a rousing, powerful performance of the "Hallelujah Chorus." After the performance, mom and daughter hugged, Patricia giving Mariah a kiss, and they were whispering to each other. They would later on redo the song, and Mariah had requested for the audience to be quiet after her part so her mom won't miss the cue. 在結束之前，咪咪又重新要求再錄一次以下三首歌。 Mariah redid the following 3 songs before performing her final song, "All I Want For Christmas Is You": ‧ When Christmas Comes (Redone from the Jingle Bells line) ‧ Here Comes Santa Claus (Randy Jackson & stand-in for Mariah) ‧ O Come All Ye Faithful/Hallelujah Chorus ft. Patricia Carey (minus the choir) 10. All I Want For Christmas Is You - Extra Festive [Mariah Carey, orchestra (16), band (5), background singers (4), dancers (6)] 結束的場景花了點時間準備，咪咪也換了件新的紅衣登台。舞者們打扮成雪人、薑餅人 等造型。歌曲從新版的弦樂開始，所有聽眾都站起來跳舞跟唱，最後天花板甚至灑下了 雪片，整場表演在最熱鬧溫馨的氣氛之下結束。 Setting up the stage with all the props took some time. Mariah come out on stage wearing a new red dress, and the dancers were dressed as Frosty The Snowman, Gingerbread Man, etc. The song starts off with the orchestra intro. Everyone was standing up, dancing and singing along. Towards the end, fake snow falls down from the ceiling. --
