Darlene Love desires a duet performance with Mariah Carey

• Darlene Love is ready to record a new duet of her holiday classic song.
• Carey’s fans have shown Love tremendous support.
• Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), often known as the ultimate Christmas duet.

Darlene Love wants to work together with Mariah Carey on a holiday song. Love is ready to record a new duet of her holiday classic “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” with the “All I Want for Christmas Is You” star, months after the 81-year-old vocalist publicly questioned Carey’s attempt to trademark “Queen of Christmas” for her own use.

Love posted on Facebook after she learned that the 52-year-old “Hero” singer had applied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to formally brand herself as the “Queen of Christmas.”

She questioned the trademarking of “Queen of Christmas” by Mariah Carey at the time in a Facebook post. What does it mean that I am not permitted to use that title?

Love later stated, “David Letterman officially declared me the Queen of Christmas 29 years ago, a year before she released ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You,’ and at 81 years of age I’m NOT changing anything.'” Love is well known for holiday classics like “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” “All Alone on Christmas” from Home Alone 2: Alone in New York, and “Christmastime for the Jews” from Saturday Night Live.

(Last month, Elizabeth Chan, another well-known Christmas singer, revealed that Carey’s attempt to possess the exclusive rights to the moniker, along with her attempts to trademark “Princess Christmas” and “QOC,” were all denied.)

The five-time Grammy winner lauded Love in an Instagram video earlier this month.

In the video, Carey discussed recording “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” for her classic Merry Christmas album in 1994 and referred to Love as the “Queen of Christmas.”

Carey exclaimed, “I listened to that song every year — like, every year — and it was a tribute to Darlene Love, the beloved Christmas Queen. “We are driven by her. She can keep that title indefinitely. Let’s say we adore the music.”

Evans tells reporters that since the video was posted, Carey’s fans have shown Love tremendous support and the remaining dates of Love’s holiday concert tour have all but sold out.

“The last couple of shows that she was doing, they sold out right away, and a couple of the Mariah fans actually stood outside and wanted to get pictures with her,” he says. “They said, ‘Hey, we didn’t like you, but we love you now,’ and she was just happy to hear that this was all ended on a very positive note … Now, she loves [Carey] even more.”

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), often known as the ultimate Christmas duet, is a song that Love would like to collaborate on with Carey. Oh my God, maybe I should record this with her, thought Darlene. Who knows, maybe we’ll see them on stage together next year,” says Evans. In 2023, Darlene would be happy to do anything with her.

In the near future, he claims Love wants to serve as Carey’s “Queen mother” over the holiday season: “She says, ‘I will hand her the Christmas throne, and we will be there to support each other.
