Posted December 10, 20204 yr Time for another forum party TONIGHT ahead of a new series of survivor polls in here! We'd like to kick off a Christmas themed one tomorrow, but, ahead of that - time to familiarise or re-familiarise ourselves with all of Ariana's festive songs. She has released two festive EPs ('Christmas Kisses' and 'Christmas & Chill') and has some collaborations on the side too, including the brand new 'Oh Santa!' remix with Mariah Carey and Jennifer Hudson! Tonight, at 8:30 BST time, we would like to listen to Ariana's Christmas songs in unison as a forum. Hit 'play' on your preferred platform at this specified time and feel free to comment along. I'll be providing a YouTube embed of each song as we go along if you'd like to catch up a bit later on in the night. Here is a link to the 'positions' forum party that we recently hosted if you'd like to get a feel for it. This is the ordering that we'll be following tonight: 01. Last Christmas (from 'Christmas Kisses') 02. Love Is Everything (from 'Christmas Kisses') 03. Snow In California (from 'Christmas Kisses') 04. Santa Baby (from 'Christmas Kisses') 05. Santa Tell Me 06. Intro (from 'Christmas & Chill') 07. Wit It This Christmas (from 'Christmas & Chill') 08. December (from 'Christmas & Chill') 09. Not Just On Christmas (from 'Christmas & Chill') 10. True Love (from 'Christmas & Chill') 11. Winter Things (from 'Christmas & Chill') 12. A Hand For Mrs. Claus (Idina Menzel feat. Ariana Grande - from 'Christmas: A Season Of Love') 13. Oh Santa! (Mariah Carey feat. Ariana Grande & Jennifer Hudson) This should come to around 35 minutes - so short and sweet to match this short notice :kink: Here is a Spotify playlist with that exact track list: YouTube too: playlist?list=PL8PGQGzG9n26lpNaNPinUAIYmneGIQltt If any Apple Music users are able to make the same playlist too then feel free to share! See you guys later :cheer:
December 10, 20204 yr I mean... Ariana invented COOL Christmas music, so you'd be rude not to join. B-)
December 10, 20204 yr Can't Wait :D I'm pretty over Christmas music in general but of course I'll make an exception for Ari.
December 10, 20204 yr Author Great choice, Julian :heart: that came up in my Subscriptions box the other day and it was lovely *.*
December 10, 20204 yr That is stunning! :wub: Isn't it! If only 'pov' was the winter single over 34+35. :lol:
December 10, 20204 yr Isn't it! If only 'pov' was the winter single over 34+35. :lol: :lol: 34+35 is a bop tho! Maybe 'pov' might be pushed in January?
December 10, 20204 yr Author Ariana has a pleasing amount of original Christmas material... but we begin with a classic instead :kink: nice enough version! "The Rascals!" is a right Yours Truly flashback *_*
December 10, 20204 yr This is my first time hearing the majority of these songs! Excited! 'Last Christmas' is the superior version, come at me :teresa:
December 10, 20204 yr Last Christmas is one of the rare examples where an Ariana performance is not my favourite version of a track :lol:
December 10, 20204 yr Great choice, Julian :heart: that came up in my Subscriptions box the other day and it was lovely *.* Thanks! It is rather lovely! :wub: :lol: 34+35 is a bop tho! Maybe 'pov' might be pushed in January? True! I think we will see it for sure. A few years ago pre-streaming I could imagine the label gunning for a Christmas #1 with pov though since it has more of a wintery vibe than '34+35', but I'm glad we got '34+35' as a single anyway. ... This version of 'Last Christmas' is a good one and probably my favourite of the 3 I have in my playlist. The other two being Wham! and Cascada. :lol: Love the R&B twist and the added refrain. :heart:
December 10, 20204 yr This sounds SO 'Yours Truly', I think this is the only around the 3rd or 4th time I've heard it. It's cute, nothing special.
December 10, 20204 yr Author Swiftly on to an original then :o this is all so cosy and makes me wish that I got to experience the festive leg of the Sweetener World Tour! Hopefully some of that is included in the upcoming Netflix documentary, I mean, it's definitely the right time of year *.*
