So a 41 year old woman whose been out since the 90s Is gonna sing a duet with a 17 year old whose been out for two years?
Righttt.
Or maybe the Queen of Christmas collaborating with the Prince of Christmas? I don't know what exactly the label are making Justin do with this Christmas album, but something tells me it will be a regular occurance. So therefore, the Christmas people collaborating?
If this was just a random Bieber collabo for a regular studio album, it would be ridiculously bizarre, desperate, and left-field. (even more so than it is now) Given it's a Christmas album and how closely Mariah is tied to the holiday with her Christmas album(s) and "All I Want For Christmas Is You," it seems less random. She's the only current living person who has created a legitimate modern Christmas classic.
If you want to collaborate with anyone on a Christmas track, it's Mariah. And if you want to collaborate with anyone to connect with the younger market, it's Bieber. Sort of all makes sense in a twisted way.
