Kylie's version of the Eartha Kitt song 'Santa Baby' has become a bit of a Christmas essential. Originally just a B-side back in 2000, the song has become more and more established, with Kylie's sultry tone to the already suggestive lyrics instantly recognisable. Are you a fan of the song? Is it deserving of being a Christmas classic or would you rather Kylie had covered something else that could have been just as successful? |

Don't like any version of the song much now. The vocal style tries to be too sexy and is a bit annoying to me.
Used to like the song more though when I was younger. This post has been edited by ❄The Snow.: Dec 23 2017, 08:48 PM |

I love it. Kylie's version is the ultimate for me; her singing style is pretty synonymous with the song now and I remember seeing the TOTP performance as a kid with that santa nightie.
Was surprised to see just yesterday that Kylie had actually performed the song the year before her version was recorded: |

Don't like the whole Santa Baby song, no matter who sings it. Remember how disappointed I was when this was released as Please Stay's b-side back then. Never thought it would turn into a small UK-Xmas classic.

Eartha Kitt's version is still the ultimate one.
I guess Kylie's version is better than the odd comedy "Chipmunk on helium" version Madonna did, so there's that. |

I dunno, sometimes I enjoy it if I'm in the right mood but at other times it just grates on me.

I’m not a fan of the song at all but I do slightly prefer Eartha Kitts version over Kylies.

It's not my fave Christmas song ever but Kylie does a fab job and she nails the sexy playful tone that the song is meant to have.

Kylie's version is great - miles better than Madonna's awful version. Its become a bit of a classic and finally made the T40!

I love my Xmas songs but Santa Baby just doesn't go with the season and is a bit creepy tbh. Anyway Kylies sounds like Earthas for me so I listen to the original, think it's just Kylie has a lot of fans in this generation so it has taken on a life of its own!

Christmas playlists will soon be upon us (Don’t AIWFC and FTONY start appearing in the iTunes Charts soon?
)I have to say I dislike Santa Baby but I also love it for the fact it gave Kylie a belated additional Top 40 entry and seems to be becoming a Christmas staple - hopefully it will be high up on playlists this year on Spotify and Apple

Not a big fan of the song but i share the same sentiment it gave Kylie a belated additional Top 40 entry and it has respectable sales.
I would welcome it charting again this year and future years to keep Kylie on the singles chart. |

I am sure there is going to be some kind of Xmas EP with a couple of Disco tracks inc.
Maybe 2 Disco tracks and 3 Xmas songs to boost streaming 😂 |
