【视频】玛丽亚·凯莉午夜变装开启圣诞季：今年先唱起1995年秘密乐队的朋克歌
11月1日零点刚过，美国歌手玛丽亚·凯莉在社交平台发布年度视频，配文只有一句「IT'S TIME!!!!」。自2019年起，她每年在万圣节结束的第一时间发布这样的视频，已成美国流行文化中圣诞季开启的一个固定信号；这支视频也同步上线了她的官方YouTube频道。
今年的开场与往年不同。画面先打出「纽约市，10月31日，23:58」的字幕，镜头走进一家朋克酒吧：染着红粉头发、化着浓艳眼妆、穿铆钉夹克的凯莉在台上唱起一首朋克歌曲，唱罢跳向台下人群。
她唱的歌叫《Hermit》。《娱乐周刊》辨明，这首歌出自1995年的另类摇滚专辑《Someone's Ugly Daughter》，是她以乐队名Chick秘密参与的项目。1995年，她一边录制畅销专辑《Daydream》，一边做了这张摇滚专辑；专辑当年由她的朋友Clarissa Dane担任主唱，她本人主唱的版本至今没有发行。她在2020年出版的回忆录《The Meaning of Mariah Carey》中公开了这段往事。
午夜一到，画面转为雪景：凯莉换上红色亮片圣诞装，站在一棵巨型圣诞树顶，唱起她1994年专辑《Merry Christmas》中的《All I Want for Christmas Is You》。据多家媒体报道，今年的帖文还带有一个身体护理品牌的付费合作标签。
这项年度仪式源于网络玩笑：2017年起，粉丝在社交平台把她形容为每到节日季便「解冻」复出；2019年起，她开始每年发布主题视频回应这个梗。进入今年节日季之前，《All I Want for Christmas Is You》已累计22周登上Billboard Hot 100单曲榜冠军（非连续）。
[Video] Mariah Carey Opens the Christmas Season at Midnight: First, a Punk Song From Her Secret 1995 Band
Just after midnight on November 1, singer Mariah Carey posted her annual video on social media with a one-line caption: "IT'S TIME!!!!" Since 2019, she has released such a video the moment Halloween ends, and it has become a fixed signal in American pop culture that the Christmas season has begun. The video was also posted to her official YouTube channel.
This year's opening was different. On-screen text reads "New York City, October 31, 11:58 p.m." as the camera enters a punk bar, where Carey, with red-and-pink hair, heavy eye makeup and a studded jacket, performs a punk song before stage-diving toward the crowd.
The song is "Hermit." Entertainment Weekly identified it as a track from "Someone's Ugly Daughter," the 1995 alternative-rock album she secretly made under the band name Chick. In 1995, while recording her hit album "Daydream," she also made the rock record; the released version was sung by her friend Clarissa Dane, and her own lead-vocal version has never been released. She told the story publicly in her 2020 memoir, "The Meaning of Mariah Carey."
At midnight the scene turns to snow: Carey, now in a red sequined Christmas outfit, stands atop a giant Christmas tree and launches into "All I Want for Christmas Is You," from her 1994 album "Merry Christmas." Several outlets noted that this year's post also carried a paid partnership hashtag for a body-care brand.
The annual ritual grew out of an internet joke: since 2017, fans have joked that Carey "defrosts" for the holiday season, and from 2019 she began answering with a themed video each November 1. Entering this season, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" had spent a cumulative 22 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, across multiple runs.
