Now they're gonna make a movie based on the Christmas album, rather than a show. From what I have heard about the plot, it sounds like a piece of redundant, cliched garbage.
Mind you, I am the most devoted fan of Mariah's (where the music is concerned), but even I find her Christmas album to be pretty saccharine. I barely play it at Christmas anymore. Carpenters or Tony Bennett is more my idea of Christmas. Her album is sweet, but way too sugary. I am a rare fan who cannot stand her "All I Want For Christmas Is You" anymore - but I am glad her detractors find something to like in it.
