Mariah Carey facing lawsuit over 'All I Want for Christmas is You'

Rebecca Cohen is a breaking news reporter for NBC News.

Mariah Carey once again faces a copyright lawsuit over her hit 1994 song 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' just in time for the holidays. Country singer Andy Stone filed a copyright lawsuit in California district court Wednesday alleging Carey ripped off his song of the same name with his band, Vince Vance and the Valiants. Stone last year withdrew a similar lawsuit over the same songs in federal court in Louisiana, according to court records.

Media contacts for Sony and Universal Music Group also did not immediately reply to requests for comment. The plaintiffs alleged in the suit that their 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' had a hand in bringing Vince Vance and the Valiants to national prominence by becoming a major country hit in the 1990s and even earned the band spots performing at the White House in 1994 and 1995.
