YouTube personality Steve Kardynal has blessed the Internet with a Christmas Chatroulette video. He goes about his usual routine -- dressing in drag, lip-synching popular songs and generally shocking unsuspecting Chatroulette users -- this time, to the tune of Mariah Carey's classic holiday hit 'All I Want For Christmas is You.'
Kardynal emerges from a gift-wrapped box in a blonde wig, Santa hat and matching red velvet number, to the surprise, amusement and delight of various Chatroulette users. The reactions are priceless as Kardynal theatrically mimes (and lip-synchs) the lyrics to a rotating audience, never breaking a stride.
If you wanted an excuse to laugh this holiday season, watching Kardynal do his best Mariah impersonation will surely do the trick! Though he might not have her impressive set of pipes, Karydnal gives Mariah a run for her money in the performance department.
