Mariah Carey Lights Up Rockefeller Tree Ceremony

Mariah Carey and Cee Lo Green  belted classic Christmas tunes against the backdrop of the iconic Rockefeller Christmas tree Wednesday night, ushering in the holiday season at the annual tree lighting celebration.

Tens of thousands of bundled-up spectators braved 36-degree temperatures to catch a glimpse of the live performances at “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” and to witness the magic of 45,000 light bulbs flicking to life.

“It’s such an iconic event for New York and the whole country,” said Bill Bracken, who produced NBC’s tree-lighting show for the fourth consecutive year, and helped pull together what he called “a huge lineup this year.”

Musical performances ranged from Cee Lo’s smooth take on “This Christmas,” to Il Volo’s soaring rendition of “Silent Night.”

The Radio City Rockettes in gold, fringed leotards tapped and twirled to “Let Christmas Shine,” drawing huge applause for their famous kickline. Rod Stewart in a Christmas red scarf and plaid blazer performed “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” while the classically trained “Voice” star Chris Mann and his back-up singers sang “O Holy Night.”

Mariah Carey kicked off the second hour of the show with her hit, “All I Want for Christmas,” which was matched in energy by Scott McCreery’s country-infused “Holly Jolly Christmas.”

The broadcast, hosted by Al Roker and Savannah Guthrie, also featured performances by Trace Adkins and Victoria Justice and came to a close when New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Rob and Jerry Speyer, CEO’s of Tishman Speyer—the owner of Rockefeller Center—flipped the switch and lit the massive Christmas tree.

First televised in 1951 on NBC, which makes its home in the building, the tree lighting has grown to attract a quarter-million spectators and an audience of millions.

This year’s model, a Norway spruce from Morris County, N.J., about 50 miles west of Rockefeller Center, arrived on Nov. 14. The tree stands in the center of the plaza bound by 48th and 51st streets, and Fifth and Sixth avenues, looming 80 feet high, with a 50-foot waist and weighing 10 tons.
