If Mariah Carey has an obsession that is just as sincere as it is excessive for the Christmas party, she has also been able to make it a more than lucrative business thanks to her voice, but not only. Indeed, for those who have not yet developed post-traumatic stress disorder after hearing the bells of All I Want for Christmas in December each year, it is now possible to enrich the diva by drawing from a collection of festive articles of a more than uncertain taste.
And far from wanting to stop on such a good path, Mariah Carey now intends to register the trademark “Queen of Christmas”, understood that this title was obviously hers by right. However, it could well be a usurpation!
The War of the Christmas Queens
Yes, two singers are already fighting over the title of Christmas queen and they do not intend to let Mariah Carey double them. The first is Darlene Love, and published in 1963 a album of Christmas songs produced by Phil Spector which remains a classic. At 81, she considers herself the only legitimate person to bear the name of Queen of Christmas that David Letterman would have awarded her 30 years ago!
The second is called Elizabeth Chan and has dedicated her entire career to writing and recording songs of Christmas and has also released an album called Queen of Christmas. And the latter has therefore decided to officially oppose Mariah Carey’s trademark application, justifying that Christmas should be shared, and certainly be owned by someone.
Christmas in peril
“It’s not just about the music business. She tries to secure her brand in every way possible – for clothes, spirits, masks, dog collars – everything is planned. If you knit a “Christmas Queen” sweater, you should be able to sell it on Etsy so someone can buy it for their grandma. It’s crazy, “said Elizabeth Chan, answering questions from variety.
It remains to be seen what the court will decide. A decision that will have serious consequences, since if Mariah Carey was confirmed in her new title, nothing would stop her in her thirst for conquest and we would not be surprised if she tries to annex the village of Santa Claus in Lapland. next year.
