Mariah Carey doesn't mind performing "sad" songs during her Christmas concerts.
Having adopted the moniker of the Queen of Christmas, the superstar embarked on a festive tour of U.S. cities over the past two months, although she cancelled a few due to illness.
As part of her Mariah Carey's Christmas Time shows, Mariah sings a mix of timeless holiday classics and fan favourites - but she is also fine with singing more solemn tracks too.
"There's a song called Miss You Most (At Christmas Time). It's a tough one. Someone once told me - actually, it was my late mother - that it was the saddest Christmas song ever," she told The Los Angeles Times. "Think about Blue Christmas. Some people are always in a funk around the holidays - not everybody's all festive, running around in the snow like other people we know."
Mariah went on to single out 1971's Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and the Plastic Ono Band as a "pretty sad" song, especially the lyric, "War is over if you want it."
"That's why I get sad when I hear it," the Believe hitmaker continued.
However, Mariah tries to keep the mood bright even when singing more serious songs during her concerts.
"People are there for the most part to be uplifted, and it's my job to try my hardest to be uplifting. If I want to be sad, I'll go home and watch whatever show is going to make me sad," she added.
