1. Ahhh... she messed with the 'fall on your knees' part.
That's my favorite carol... but... ah well.

I was checking a few more out... I like this one, despite the gimmicky group.

3. Too bad she's a right-wing nutjob.
I believe she was involved with one of Hannity's tours.

9.  I like it all kinds of ways. I love to hear high note being hit.
But I also like it soft and easy.

13. I know. I cried the first time I saw his audition video, too.
He's so amazing, and an operatic song like "O Holy Night" is perfectly suited for his voice. I'm no professional judge of operatic voices, but I can honestly say that he has the most beautiful male tenor voice that I have EVER heard, bar none.

15. Try Joan Baez' version for a real treat.
Unbelievably, blood-freezingly, shatteringly beautiful. Heard it for the last time a few years back, and was instantly crying. Some things are simply to lovely to bear.

Yea, people are just not being honest, or are completely tone deaf, if they can't recognize that amazing Soprano range.

23. Amateur.
Edited on Tue Dec-09-08 09:26 PM by achtung_circus
This song calls to so many whose voices don't quite measure up. She also seems to have forgotten about rhythm.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt0VfiFxtHo&feature=related">Mariah Carey

About the only Christmas song I can stomach.

24. While Mariah has some amazing range, I am just not a fan.
She can sing and can go up 900 octaves, but that one note that is impossible for people to hit and can break glass is what ruins it for me.

25. More than any other song at Christmas
regardless of who does it, this song makes me still want to believe. But I don't know if I can any more.

30. The hellacious dipthongs absolutely destroy this for me
Edited on Tue Dec-09-08 11:08 PM by LaydeeBug
and the scooping. I am only 14 seconds in. I might be in too bad of a mood to listen right now.

But I think I saw her do Crossroads with Pat Benatar, and I liked that. :hi:

on edit: to add a "d" to "liked"
