Joy to the World

This is possibly one of the most popular Christmas songs everyone knows. The message of the song is quite perfect for the occasion - celebrating the birth of a prophesied messiah and savior in a manger. Added to the songs beautiful lyrics and melody, Carey gives a new lease to the song by injecting her famous song-bird like style of singing. She shifts effortlessly to her chest tones, her head tones, and up to the impossible whistle tone registers her voice is capable of. It doesn't sound forced, shrilly, or screaming-like, rather it comes out beautifully and a rendition that is so glorious to hear.

Quite a perfect song for those who are feeling the love together with the festivities the air is bringing. And it does help that Carey is able to give a convincing and lovely rendition of the song.
