Is Leighton Meester The Next Mariah Carey?

Leighton Meester has been working hard on launching her singing career, providing guest vocals on other groups’ songs (Cobra Starship’s “Good Girls Go Bad”) and performing at the opening of American Eagle’s flagship store in New York City last week. Now, she’s trying to get a holiday song stuck in our heads à la Mariah Carey. I definitely prefer this seasonal tune to her upcoming album’s first single, “Somebody to Love”; however, we all have “All I Want for Christmas Is You” in our heads 15 years after it first came out, so I’d say Mariah still holds the top spot.

This, like the “song” of hers I heard on the radio, pretty much features her talking. She’s not a singer. It’s really not fair to compare her to Mariah Carey. More like “is this Christmas song going to be played everywhere and get on our nerves like every other Christmas song inevitably does every year?” I sincerely hope not, since it’s crap.

UGH, please don’t tell me I hear AUTO-TUNE.
I like the song. I’m a sucker for Christmas songs.
Could definitely do without Auto-Tune. I have YET to hear this girl sing with just her voice.

If that voice is not run through the vocoder then I am Oprah.

It sounds like she’s singing into one of those toy microphones that makes your voice echo, a la ‘80s childhood. If that made a classic, I would be a superstar already.
