Posted November 19, 2024Nov 19 As we all know, Christmas classics get covered over and over again… but what do you think are the best versions of them? For me: All I Want For Christmas Is You - Bowling For Soup (2011) Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Michael Ball & Alfie Boe (2020) The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole (1961) Feliz Navidad - shame (2018) Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - The Beths (2018) Jingle Bells - The Brian Setzer Orchestra (2002) Joy to the World - Dolly Parton (1990) O Holy Night - Nat King Cole (1960) Once in Royal David’s City - Sufjan Stevens (2002) Santa Claus Is Coming to Town - Slade (1985) Silent Night - Bing Crosby (1942) White Christmas - The Drifters (1954) Winter Wonderland - beabadoobee (2020)
November 19, 2024Nov 19 I prefer all of Ariana Grande, Cascada and Crazy Frog's versions of Last Christmas to Wham's.
November 19, 2024Nov 19 Covers on my Christmas Favourites playlist: Busted - Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (I genuinely love what they did with this, especially Charlie's angelic intro) Cascada - Jingle Bell Rock (so joyful) Cascada - Last Christmas (probably listen equally to this and Wham!) Cascada - Winter Wonderland (kind of sounds like it should be in the background to Theme Hospital, if anyone gets that reference. I still probably prefer Tony Bennett) Delta Goodrem - Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (not on Spotify sadly, the b-side to Not Me, Not I in the UK) Delta Goodrem - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (as was this, although this is on Spotify as part of a compilation) La Oreja de Van Gogh - Blanca Navidad (White Christmas in Spanish - not better, just different) Jane McDonald - Cruise Into Christmas (think this is genuinely the only version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town I listen to :lol:) Mel & Kim - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree (I have both versions in rotation - this is delightfully naff) Nádine - Mary's Boy Child (South African singer did a really great Christmas album that I have on every year) Nádine - We Wish You A Merry Christmas (she did my go-to version of this too) Steps - Merry Xmas Everybody (hardly a fave in the first place but is a welcome turn of the century take on this)
November 19, 2024Nov 19 Billie Piper - Last Christmas. That’s probably me favourite version of that one.
November 19, 2024Nov 19 Cascada - Last Christmas Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) > The original is the best but I wish Little Mix officially recorded their version of this! Although I LOOOOVE Leona's version too! < Gabriella Cilmi - Warm This Winter Leona Lewis - Ave Maria Tinashe - Angels We Have Heard On High Tinashe - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen > This would be the one I recommend to people if I was to choose just one of hers! < Tinashe - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Tinashe - Last Christmas Tinashe - O Holy Night > My favourite of her Christmas covers... just STUNNING!!! <
