Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas Is You (Make My Wish Come True Edition)

This is a classic song that celebrates the joy of Christmas.

Set to a catchy melody, it expresses the wish to spend time with loved ones rather than focusing on Christmas trees or presents.

Included on the 1994 album “Merry Christmas,” the song reached number one in both the United States and the United Kingdom in 2019, 25 years after its release.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to every Christmas.

Mariah Carey’s powerful, soaring vocals heighten the sense of anticipation for the holiday season.

This work can be described as a staple Christmas song you’ll want to play when spending the holiday with a partner or family.

Angels CryMariah Carey32rank/position

Mariah Carey – Angels Cry (Official Music Video) ft. Ne-Yo

A gem-like R&B ballad imbued with a heartfelt desire to mend a relationship on the brink of breaking.

Featured on the 2009 album “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,” a duet version with singer-songwriter Ne-Yo was released in January 2010.

Riding on luminous strings and resonant piano, Mariah Carey’s vocals are showcased to the fullest.

The longing to restore a bond with a loved one is woven through delicate harmonies, evoking a beauty like an angel shedding tears.

It’s a song to listen to when you feel uncertain about your relationship, or when you want to reflect on the bond you share with someone you love.

Mariah Carey – Close my eyes (lyrics on screen)

This is a tear-jerker by Mariah Carey, who wields an extraordinary high-tone voice and possesses the high-level skill to seamlessly navigate multiple octaves, establishing an overwhelming presence in both pop and ballads.

Its deeply flavorful style also makes it something you’ll want to listen to in April.

Endless LoveMariah Carey35rank/position

Endless Love (Duet with Mariah Carey) (Live from Royal Albert Hall)

I thought it was such a luxury that Mariah and Luther Vandross would cover the classic “Endless Love” sung by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie! The original is, of course, wonderful, but their version is every bit as fantastic.
