Mariah's appearance came amid the news she is being sued by singer Andy Stone for a whopping $20 million over the iconic Christmas single for the second time.

Stone, who performs as Vince Vance and the Valiants, claimed that Mariah and her co-writer Walter Afanasieff modelled the pop classic after his own 1989 tune 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'.
