Mariah Carey is now two for two, as a Los Angeles federal judge granted her request for summary judgment in the latest copyright lawsuit over her holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” and dismissed the case entirely.
The suit, filed in November by songwriter Troy Powers and country singer Andy Stone, who performs under the stage name Vince Vance with the band Vince Vance and the Valiants, said the 1994 classic infringed on a song they wrote together in 1989 with the same title. Stone seeks $20 million in damages.
Their lawsuit named Carey, Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group as defendants and demanded $20 million in damages.
