Mariah Carey Fans Deck the Halls—and Each Other [WATCH]

It seems the Christmas spirit was missing in action at Mariah Carey’s recent concert. During her iconic performance of “All I Want for Christmas is You,” a brawl erupted among fans, creating chaos amidst the holiday cheer.

Videos circulating online captured the incident, which began when a woman near the stage shoved another concertgoer sitting in front of her. Things escalated quickly as the blond woman retaliated by tossing her drink at the brunette, prompting two men to get involved in the scuffle, as reported by Fox News.

Amid the chaos, Carey, 55, stayed professional and continued belting out her chart-topping Christmas anthem, unfazed by the spectacle unfolding in the crowd. One frustrated fan in the audience could be heard shouting, “Where’s the f—ing security?” But the show went on without interruption.

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” has been a holiday juggernaut since its 1994 debut. The song, now a staple of the season, topped the Billboard Hot 100, selling over 10 million copies.

Here is a flashback of one of the most memorable videos referencing the iconic song:

Carey once shared her vision behind the hit, explaining that she wanted the track to feel “classic and timeless.”

Reflecting on its creation, Carey told W Magazine, “The idea of me doing a Christmas album at all came from the record company. It was very early in my career… I had some very sad Christmases as a child, but I always try to find the bright light there.”

She added, “I didn’t want it to feel specific to any era, so we didn’t use sounds that were happening at that time. That way, it would feel classic and timeless.”

As Carey’s holiday anthem thrives, it remains entangled in a messy legal battle. Andy Stone, lead singer of Vince Vance and the Valiants, accused Carey of lifting the “compositional structure” of his 1989 song—coincidentally also titled “All I Want for Christmas is You.”

According to Stone, Carey “directly” copied lyrics, and he alleges that 50% of her hit is copyright infringement.

Stone initially filed a lawsuit in June 2022, dropped it months later, and then renewed his legal challenge in November 2023. Despite his claims, Carey has consistently denied wrongdoing.

In a recent hearing, Judge Mónica Ramírez Almadani expressed skepticism about Stone’s case, stating she was “inclined” to dismiss it and even considering sanctions against Stone’s legal team for what may amount to a “frivolous” lawsuit.

With no resolution yet, the legal saga remains open, but it appears increasingly unlikely that Stone’s claims will succeed. For now, Carey’s holiday hit will continue to ring through shopping malls and festive gatherings, proving its enduring power.
