by

As a film enthusiast and avid pop culture follower who grew up in the ’90s with Mariah Carey’s melodious voice echoing through my childhood, I must say this latest incident has left me both amused and intrigued. The AI speculation surrounding Mariah’s Christmas message on Spotify was an unexpected twist that added a dash of suspense to our usual Wrapped Day celebrations.

Mariah Carey clarifies that interacting with her most dedicated Spotify listeners through artificial intelligence is merely a figment of imagination at this point.

As a movie buff putting it in my own words, I’d say: “Contrary to some online buzz, I wanted to clear up any confusion about that heartfelt message floating around during Spotify’s yearly Wrapped event. You see, they were thanking the top fans who’ve been supporting me and other artists like Kali Uchis and Taylor Swift on their platform. Just spreading some holiday cheer!

As a dedicated film enthusiast, I’d put it this way: “In a heartfelt message shared across X (previously known as Twitter), the legendary singer, Mariah Carey, spoke directly to her devoted fans, affectionately referred to as ‘lambs.’ She expressed that the unwavering support they’ve shown her throughout the years is the most precious gift she could ever ask for. The video, set in a dimly lit room adorned with Christmas trees and featuring Mariah in her iconic Santa Claus-inspired dress, instantly ignited discussions about AI on social media.

The vocalist and composer, known for a voice rivaling that of an Olympic athlete, discusses her newfound role as the self-proclaimed Monarch of Christmas.

On Wednesday, a user tweeted, “This definitely looks like AI.” Other fans shared similar thoughts and poked fun at the singer’s seemingly rigid behavior (“Blink twice if you’re okay,” another user quipped). However, some users appeared to scrutinize the pop star more closely, focusing on her facial expressions – specifically, her eyes. On Thursday, a user wrote, “It’s clear that she is reading from a teleprompter in the video.

The Grammy winner finally took matters into her own hands Thursday evening and revealed the culprits behind her bizarre video. “Bad lighting and a red lip have you all thinking this is AI??” Carey tweeted.

She expressed that she’s not fond of both those items, adding that she was excited about the upcoming destination on her yearly Christmas journey.

For numerous individuals, Spotify Wrapped Day serves as a unique celebration. As the annual music data summary unfolds, Mexican music stood out exceptionally well during the year 2024.

As a movie critic, I had the pleasure of attending Mariah Carey’s performance at the Hollywood Bowl last November, where she graced us with her undisputed title as the reigning Queen of Christmas. This year marks the 30th anniversary of her iconic album “Merry Christmas,” and it’s hard to believe that its infectious holiday anthem, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” has been a chart-topping sensation since 2019.

In October, Carey expressed delight to Times critic Mikael Wood, stating that the event had occurred numerous times, making her ecstatic.

“And should it happen again, I would be even more thrilled,” she added.

Despite the fact that Carey is widely recognized for her famous Christmas song, she recently urged her top Spotify followers (regardless of their views on AI) to stay alert this week, as there might be some new releases coming up.

“I can’t wait to share new music with you soon,” she said.
