Internet says she makes $5 million a year from that song from all the radio, streaming, malls, restaurants and bars that play her song between thanksgiving and new years. Just that one song. Who knows besides her and her accountants what she makes per year from everything else she does in life. Which is fine by me I’m not jealous I just gotta write my own!

Maybe someday now that she won this suit she will license it to Elmer’s, something like “all I want for Christmas is glue”. Or to Glidden “all I want for Christmas is Hue”. Or to Macy’s “all I want for Christmas is shoes!”

Hell is not an eternity of fire or torture, or demons ripping you apart.

The worst possible thing that could happen if you died and went to hell, is to be strapped into a chair, and forced to listen to that God forsaken Christmas song on repeat for eternity.

the Carey song is from 1994, the first lawsuit was filed in 2022.

Why is there a 28 year delay?

I made it to the one minute mark of the “so called” similar song.

It’s either country..ish or 50’s drive in music.

Not even in the same universe of Mariah Carey. Not that I’m a fan.

I think she is all kinds of Hawt and extraordinary vocalist.

The gal singing their “whatever’ has an annoying hold on of her vibrato....

Vince Vance and the Valiants is far better.
Mariah’s version is irritating.

You know I’m getting really bored
‘Cause all songs have the same damn chords
Punk music is a joke
it’s really just Baroque
Am I just paranoid,
na na na

“...failed to show their song was objectively similar enough to Carey’s to support their copyright infringement case.”

What about the name and sentiment?

The judge is stupid or a crook.

The country version is better, better voice.

The sad part is that now every Xmas season will drown us on TV and retail stores with hours and hours of that pitiful song.

I vote with my wallet.

I’ve bought VV&tV music.

Never bought Carey’s.

Always have thought she has a lovely voice. I am not big on more modern type pop Christmas songs though.

That song sticks in your brain like the adhesive gum of an old windshield sticker.
