The original artist and composer of "All I Want for Christmas is You" performs the classic live in Tokyo in 1996. Ariana Grande, a great new talent, tries to take on the queen's tune in winter, 2012. IMHO, Ariana is one of the best new singers out there, but she probably wouldn't have even been noticed in the early to mid 90s with Mariah, Whitney, and Celine releasing power ballads. How soon we forget about 90s performances.
