During an appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show," Mariah Carey, the iconic singer known for her Christmas hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You," revealed some surprising details about her life. Carey shared that she does not have a driver's license and prefers not to drive herself around. She confessed that her license had expired seven years ago and she never bothered to renew it. When Hudson expressed her shock at this revelation, Carey explained that she had let it expire before moving out of New York City, where she didn't feel the need to drive. "You don't really want to drive in Manhattan," Carey added.

However, Carey mentioned that she had eventually gone to the DMV to renew her license, only to find out that she would need to retake the driving test since it had been expired for so long. Admitting that she didn't think she would pass the test if she took it again, Carey expressed her intention to try to get her license renewed. The conversation then shifted to their personal preferences, with Hudson sharing that Carey inspired her "dream closet." In response, Carey revealed that her favorite item in her closet was "probably a pair of some hideous slides" as she is not a fan of sneakers. She explained that she avoids wearing sneakers because they give her blisters, and heels are uncomfortable for her, so she opts for fuzzy slippers instead.

In addition to these personal anecdotes, Carey also revealed her favorite Christmas song, which is not her own. She expressed her love for Nat King Cole's version of "The Christmas Song," stating that it has always been her favorite. Hudson shared that the song was also her grandmother's favorite, creating a heartfelt connection between the two musicians.

While Carey is known as the "Queen of Christmas," her classic holiday song has recently come under fire. Musician Andy Stone filed a $20 million lawsuit against Carey, accusing her of copyright infringement. Stone, the lead vocalist of Vince Vance and the Valiants, claimed that Carey's hit song infringed on his own song, also titled "All I Want for Christmas is You," which he co-wrote in 1989. According to the complaint, Stone alleged that Carey and her team copied the "compositional structure" of his song and that approximately 50% of Carey's song is copyright infringement. Stone argued that Carey and her team must have had access to his version of the song due to its "wide commercial and cultural success." Notably, Stone's song had charted on Billboard for years and his band had even performed it at the White House in 1994, the same year Carey's song was released.

Despite the legal challenges surrounding her Christmas hit, Carey's song has remained a holiday staple since its release in 1994. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" not only topped the Billboard Hot 100 but has also sold more than 10 million copies, cementing its status as a beloved Christmas anthem.

In conclusion, Mariah Carey's appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" provided a glimpse into the personal life and preferences of the iconic singer. From her decision not to renew her driver's license to her fashion choices and favorite Christmas song, Carey shared intimate details with her fans. However, the recent lawsuit alleging copyright infringement for her hit song adds a layer of controversy to her enduring Christmas success.
