喬安納的房間

找出1994年Mariah Carey耶誕專輯，跟著她的海豚音尖叫，心情也跟著翻了幾轉上雲霄。大概就是從那年開始，每年耶誕節都要聽這些歌曲，即使不是教徒，也感到音樂中的幸福。

每次聽瑪麗亞凱莉的現場演唱，全身都起雞母皮。第一次認識她的那個晚上，我在客廳的書桌唸書，媽媽叫我去看電視，她說：「這個女歌手好會唱！」在銀幕上的她穿著簡單剪裁的黑色長禮服，在麥迪遜廣場演唱會唱Hero，我那時的英文還不好，雖然一句都聽不懂，但全身都起雞皮疙瘩(就是這隻MV，按這裡)。

在那個年紀家裡經濟不是很寬裕，但媽媽主動提議幫我買了同名專輯，下一張Daydream專輯也是在唱片行看到，媽媽說要買，我一開始還說：「可是好貴欸。」

之後每張專輯我都一定要到手，把歌詞背得滾瓜爛熟，再跟著唱到家裡的人耳朵都要長繭。她將英文這個語言唱得實在是太優美了，為了要瞭解那些歌詞，我也對英文也有了興趣。

在當時，Mariah的氣質清新、高挑窈窕，唇紅齒白加上會放電的眼睛，再配上令人神魂顛倒的嗓音，真的是萬人迷～（好拉，我知道大家都忘了，但還是要提醒，她以前真的是很美阿！）

她在出名之前幫人配音，也過了一段窘困的日子。然後她實現了美國夢，用她美妙的嗓音告訴大家，只要相信自己，你就是自己的英雄。

如果那晚沒聽到她唱歌，說不定我就變成了數學家呢（才怪）。

歌詞

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Lyrics

Mariah Carey

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is 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... yea yea

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

(and I) Don't care about 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

Oh I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

(and I) 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 reindeer 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

You baby

All the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere (so brightly yea)

And the sound of children's

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing (oh yea)

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 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 (You) baby

All I want for Christmas is you baby...
