Mariah Carey's Christmas Album Due in November

Island Records

Mariah Carey has spent the past few weeks dodging pregnancy rumors, but the songstress isn't avoiding whispers of a new Christmas album.

Carey will release 'Merry Christmas II You' on November 2. According to Rap-Up.com, the new album is a follow-up to Mimi's 1994 holiday compilation 'Merry Christmas,' and it will feature both new material and covers of classic holiday songs.

In March, Carey's camp officially scrapped plans to release her remix album 'Angels Advocate' in favor of beginning work on the Christmas album. 'Angels Advocate' was set to feature a collection of remixes from her twelfth studio release 'Memoir of an Imperfect Angel,' but after several delays, it was shelved permanently. Intended features on the album included Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg and R. Kelly.

'Merry Christmas II You' will be released in conjunction with a new Christmas DVD -- the details of which have not been revealed yet. In April, famed fashion photographer David LaChapelle shot the covers for both the album and the DVD and told the U.K. Times that the pop diva had originally requested real reindeer for the cover shoot.

Mariah Carey's 'Merry Christmas' album, which included the holiday hit 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' sold over 12 million copies following its 1994 release.

She has no talent? If ur going to hate on someone at least be logical about things. U don't like belting, vocal acrobatics fine but don't say she can't sing. And I love how everyone overlooked the part about her last album selling 12 million copies.

Someday Mariah Carey and I will meet other on purpose. To see Mariah Carey totally in the nude on purpose is my all-time #1 favorite way to see Mariah Carey. And I will buy Mariah Carey Christmas CD during November 2010.

Mariah Carey is one of few of today's female artists who can claim "diva" status. Like every singer, however, the voice diminishes with age. Let's hope her time to retire is far into the future.

I doubt if those who said Mariah Carey has not much of a voice can actually carry a tune in a basket.

I love her and her voice...Who I can't stand is her ABSOLUTELY no talent husband Nick Cannon...She needs to teach him a more extensive vocabulary beyond "Lets hear it one MORE time" or "Come on People Give it up one more time," AD NAUSEUM on A.G.T...The ONLY reason I watch it at all is to hear the 10 year old girl sing.......WOW!

By the way, that is not the name of her Christmas CD. That was a rumor.
