Week #2: Christmas

[Haley Scarnato]

Song: All I Want For Christmas Is You
Artist: Mariah Carey

Why I choose this song: I choose Mariah Carey's rendition of All I Want For Christmas Is You because I love the upbeatness of the song and the lyrics make this song magical. I really wanted to showcase my 'soulful' side to the judges this week.



I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You

All I want for Christmas is you... baby

Haley -- was the perfect song choice... no, but it wasn't a bad song choice. There were some areas that I didn't like what was going on [vocally], but you made the best of it and sang it fairly decent...

[Simon Cowell]

Hayley, you don't have the chops Mariah has, and trying to copy her is the eighth deadly sin. You were in the bottom three last round, and I fear you'll see a repeat performance.
