Loved the Interview and how it all was mostly about the music while still talking about The Baby, Nick her high heals ect...lol. Really I love when Mariah get's really into talking about the music. Not only is better promo but it makes her come across for what she is an amazing artist that loves making and writting music.

I liked the part about Charlie Brown Christmas

ED: One thing that I was actually really surprised to see on the album was basically the Mariah Carey version of 'Charlie Brown Christmas.' Was that one of the more exciting songs you ever did? It is so widely-known, one of the Christmas classics.
MC: Yeah. It definitely is and I just grew up watching Charlie Brown every year and that was one of the things that made me say, 'Okay, it's Christmas time,' and so when I went to do this record I was sitting down with a couple people and I said, 'I can't believe nobody really redid 'Charlie Brown Christmas.'
ED: I know!
MC: And so when we did the intro that's an incredible piano player/writer/musician Big Jim Wright, he's actually Mo'Nique's musical director, and we wrote a song on The Emancipation of Mimi called 'Fly Like a Bird' which I performed at the Grammys that year, 2006. But he's trying the beginning do-do-do-do-doo that Charlie Brown part? And so I could have like sung something over that but I didn't think that was necessary. I just wanted to keep it really fun, and keep it simple and then we segued into the 'Christmastime is here' part of the ballad part. And I just wanted to do it like pay homage to the original 'Charlie Brown' record and it was really, really nice because (they) called me and they said they loved the version and then they gave me all these Charlie Brown stuff. That was really sweet.

I've often said "they" in place of "he or she" for no particular reason. She could have said "they" since she doesn't know the sex of the baby, instead of saying "he or she".

That is what I thought, too. And, she prob didn't want to refer to the baby as "it."

interesting how she said she hopes "they" don't come out hating Christmas.


Exactly smiley: laugh , is she expecting twins? Cool interview...
She doesn't want to know the baby's sex in advance , that's why she could be referring to the baby as they" and not "he " or "she"
