Mariah mixed the Christmas classic with Three Dog Night's #1 hit for her version of "Joy To The World". It sounds really dated now. I kind of wish it would be revamped without the cheesy dated drum machine. I loved when she sang it live on ABC last year. David Morales did hot remixes too when she promoted this a year after the album's original release in 1995.

The celebration remix is fantastic. The video for it is cute too!

I like the original, but the remixes made this so much better.

Not one of my faves from the album- the original sounds a little bit of a mess, with the mixing of the two songs.

The Morales remix and the video of the remix are awesome.

I loooove the original! One of my faves off Merry Christmas! I loved her performance of it on BET back in 2001. She sounded so good.

I love this song - the original and the remixes. I love how Mariah gets so into it when she sings live. I really wish she promoted the xmas album each year...it's such a solid seller, she really should do some live performances over the holidays.

I really wish she promoted the xmas album each year...it's such a solid seller, she really should do some live performances over the holidays. First she should get her voice into shape. Not only for this, but also for the tour. I don't wanna watch semi-lipped Hero-on-X-Factor-Mariah.

very true. Although saying that, the Charmbracelet tour did great things for her voice.

I LOVE her version on her Merry Christmas album! Its spectacular and I love her performance of this song on the Disney Xmas Special back in 2004.

I love the ballad-like opening, the gospel choir joining in, and then when the beat kicks in; fantastic sequence in the first minute.

I’ve been obsessed with this one this year; it’s quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs. The elevated “joys” at the end are blissful.

Sony gunning for that streaming. #feelthatJOY That's one of my all time favorite performances from Mariah. The first four minutes or so are epic enough, but from 4:15 to the end she just crushes it! I definitely feel that joy when I hear this version.

Love this one! Very festive and lively joint. I love that it samples the other "Joy To The World" song.

I'm listening to this now, and it just gives me an indescribable feeling. It is so epic and uplifting it makes me cry. The power MC has on our heart strings, ugh.

The celebration remix is fantastic. The video for it is cute too! Festive video! She included the Celebration and Flava mixes on this year's 25th anniversary edition of Merry Christmas.

I have never been a big fan of the remixes. I find them very overrated. I LOVE the original, though. It always put me into the festive spirit. And Mariah nails it live all the time.

Always loved Mariah’s unique take on this classic.
This performance is so festive! Loved the way she looked and sound. Such a dynamic voice.
