Margarita Sipatova – All I Want For Christmas Is You
An evening pause: A bright cheery way to start the last week in the Christmas holiday season. CORRECTION: I have discovered that the performer here is not Mariah Carey, as listed in the video, but another singer doing a nice cover. I have corrected the post.
Hat tip Alton Blevins.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

OK, she can have me, I guess.
Very good. What decade was this? She is or was recently on tour with this song, her most famous and her bread and butter, featured with a choreographed dance crew for the adoring fans. Time to move on, Mariah. It was worth many millions and the royalties will keep rolling in but it is no longer fresh and this years performances show it.
Just for the record you know this is not actually Mariah Carey right? It is a cute and fun instrumental cover by a lady named Margarita Sipatova per the YouTube info on the clip.
MDN: No I had not realized. I have now corrected the post. Thank you.
I’m embarrassed. You know, I really tried to figure that out. I was first disappointed this one didn’t sing! I noticed Mariah has a little mole. I thought it was age related, perhaps. I do have a degree of facial blindness, can I use that excuse? Here is Mariah… recent.

Yes, it is a cover but the Original Artist has done just FINE .. .
Miss MC’s work has topped the charts at Number One for Five Straight Years and is again the highest rocket this Season……
Not bad for a 21 year old Creation.
