Mariah Carey – Joy to the World (Official Audio)

Mariah Carey sings a medley of the Christmas carol and Three Dog Night’s different song with the same title, “Joy to the World.” Mariah’s version has the sumptuous appeal of gospel.

I think it’s easy to cover as a choral piece.

Mariah Carey – Lil Snowman (Official Video)

This is a famous song by Mariah Carey, who has garnered enormous support thanks to her high-level vocal technique that skillfully uses octaves and her exceptional visuals.

It demonstrates a high level of polish, making it well-known as a winter staple that fits perfectly with the snowy season.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony – Lil Love ft. Mariah Carey, Bow Wow

This is a Mariah work steeped in hip-hop.

In the music video, Mariah’s tough, almost villainous expression holds its own against the rappers—it’s fresh and adorable.

Her vocals complement the rap so well that I think this might be the origin of the now-common collaborations between rappers and divas.

Mariah has described it as “the most personal track on the album.”

Love StoryMariah Carey50rank/position

Mariah Carey – Love Story

This is a song included on Mariah Carey’s album E=MC².

The lyrics overflow with love, and Mariah’s passionate vocals match the slow-tempo sound beautifully.

If you play it at a wedding, it will likely bring back memories of the couple’s love story leading up to the ceremony and fill everyone with happiness.

It would also leave a beautiful afterglow if used as the closing song at the reception.
