Everyone stand up for the OG Queen of Christmas

 

 

The song reached US #1 for the first time last year helped by the long-awaited release of its official music video.

 

The promo for it this year starts with the release of a Spanish version which was created using AI. :lol:

 

That ai verdion sounds really good tbh!

It was only last Christmas that I found out Brenda was like 13 when she recorded this! She definitely has an older sounding voice.

Wat :o :o

 

This will be no.2 Xmas song this year, after Wham, and poor Mariah 3 or 4

No way!! :blink: She certainly did have an older sounding voice for sure.

lol at the release date on the thread 😀

Surely coming to make #3 for the first time in the post Christmas week - maybe not quite #2 this year but won’t be far off.

There may be other examples also, but a similar thing happened for country singer Randy Travis this year. He lost his singing ability after a stroke, so AI was used to recreate his vocals for a new single:
