Well, this one’s not really a duet. But the team YouTube users Robbie and Stacy made by singing “This Christmas” (Donny Hathaway’s hit) should really be a head-turner for recording companies.

Enjoy.

Apart from the weird organ “mode”, I guess everything was really good. The singing was exceptional. Just slightly nasal for me, but I guess it’ll pass (I guess Stacy was just a bit shy).

(That title actually came out wrong…)

Hearing the most-covered Christmas song ever (and again, I say I dunno because White Christmas might be the most-covered holiday song) might get a little boring especially when they just sing it for the sake of singing it. This time, YouTube user Guamojigga gives us his Bublè-ish version of “The Christmas Song”, and I’m happy to say that, in my opinion, he did a great job putting fun in the song.

Just take away the hotdog with marshmallow on it (it really looked weird), I say this is a pretty good act.

After a week-long period of being busy with my day-job, it’s time to blog about Christmas covers again. This time, we see / hear Lana McKissack singing Silent Night.

She’s definitely cute. Hehe (*blushes*). Especially when she hit that poor silver christmas tree. But I thought the singing was just OK. She had the looks, and I guess she should’ve pushed the envelope when it comes to a song like this. It was so close from being boring.

As for how she poised in front of the camera, I don’t think she should’ve looked like heartbroken. Silent Night is a solemn song, and I was expecting her to at least feel the spirit of Christmas from within.

Anyway, just my opinion.

This guy really made it at the top of my christmas list! This guy not only sets the bar higher for the carol “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, but also gives a fresh and relaxing sound to any carols I’ve heard so far.

Here’s YouTube user ortoPilot, singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”

What can I say? He has all of it, like good phrasing, blues-y sound, but not compromising the true message of the song. It’s like breathing out some relaxing greetings for the Holidays effortlessly!

First off, I really don’t think this video is funny. But, though I have nothing against granpa Dennis Brown about singing in front of the Karaoke, it is still singing in front of the Karaoke. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of people sing in front of the box making the song their own, not only copying the exact tone, phrasing, and even the huskiness that the original singer had.

Here’s Dennis Brown for “If Everyday Was Like Christmas”, originally sung by The King himself, Elvis Presley.

Well, on the lighter side, at least granpa knows how to sing. He just doesn’t know how to make his own style and be contemporary with what YouTube viewers like me are expecting. Another plus for having “that much” videos in his YouTube channel (he has 66 of them as of press time).

At least, he still tries to prove that YouTube is a moms and pops thing.
