I’m usually positive when it comes to all things MC but I too share in the disappointment. For me… the hype began with Mariah herself in one of her Twitter Space conversations claiming that this special would blow last year’s out of the water.
18 minutes is a weird running time for any television program. There is most certainly something fishy going on!
1) Was this cut short purposely for awards recognition? There are Emmy categories for Short Programs or ones under 30 min. I will say I do know Apple was disappointed that the original special was only nominated for a single Emmy this year.
2) Do Apple + Mariah only want to focus on promoting “Fall in Love At Christmas” this season?? CD singles were made and will be available at Target/Walmart starting in December, plus a separate video, plus the promo.
3) Maybe Apple wants the original special to be an annual hit and didn’t want to take away from that?
For those of you thinking her budget was cut, I have to say I highly disagree based on THAT gorgeous set design and Joseph’s involvement. Oh well… I guess either way, I’m happy we are getting anything at all!
