Halle Bailey Sounds Like Heaven Sent Singing One of Mariah Carey's Hardest Songs
The host of NBC's A Motown Christmas makes it look easy.
Halle Bailey is taking requests — and she's knocking it out of the park!
One of our favorite things about the host of NBC's upcoming A Motown Christmas is how relatable she is. When she's not spending quality time with her adorable son, she's wowing fans by uploading impressive vocal covers of some all-time iconic songs. Take November 26, for example. Bailey took to Instagram to share a breathtaking version of Mariah Carey's "My All" that will leave you breathless.
"This is a really hard song to sing but i tried cause yall asked ⛅️😭what should i sing next ❤️," she captioned.
It's a stunning performance. Bailey easily hits Carey's trademark high notes as she floats through "My All" in an impressively casual way. The song is one of Carey's most challenging tracks to sing due to its complex structure and unreal high notes, but Bailey performs it with ease.

Her falsetto tone is perfect, and Bailey's runs are truly special. Carey herself would be proud.
It's official: the star of The Little Mermaid is taking fan requests and fully intends to blow her fans away. Who knows what the 24-year-old has planned next?
Here's what to know about Mariah Carey's "My All"
Released in 1997 as part of Carey's sixth studio album, Butterfly, "My All" is a ballad in every way. The Latin-music-inspired track is regarded as one of the singer's underappreciated classics despite its massive commercial success — but that's what happens when an artist releases so many hit songs!
"My All" spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, topping the chart on May 23, 1998. It's one of 19 number-one hits Carey has had over her illustrious career.
