Haha. I just love Cascada's version way more :lol: I know I'm probably the only person in the world to think so, but there's just something quite charming about it :lol: Maybe it's because I prefer a female vocal on the song? :unsure: I don't know. That said, I do really like Wham's original version too.

george's vocal isnt female enough for you?? :lol:

did dido every release that xmas song in the chart?or maybe it was a b-side?

 

is the killers - a great big sled available on itunes?

* The original version, not the murdered 2004 version

** It's not the Wham version, it's a cover and the best version IMO

*** Yes the original, have not heard any other version.

 

** If you haven't heard State of the Heart - Last Christmas this is the version I'm talking about - a complete instrumental!

 

 

 

 

My top 10 favorite christmas songs:

Various Artists - Carol of The Bells

Various Artists - Christmas Star

Bing Crosby - White Christmas

Aly & AJ - Greatest Time of Year
