For me the essence of this song is its simplicity and gentleness, which this totally wrecks. Highlight of the night? I suggest people look up some of the other performances and decide for themselves.
Thanks for your response soulsong4ever. I'll have to listen to Gosh Groban's version now before I write the song off for ever. I may even enjoy it with a singer of that calibre!
I love to hear a new version that breathes new life into an old song, but still captures the intended spirit of the song.
Guy tried with this song to uptempo it, but it's still the worst Christmas Carol around (in my view) and his version becomes pretty repetitive around half way through.

By-the -way soulsong4ever, you were right. Josh Groban was absolutely fantastic singing this song and really did it justice.
(I suspect it's the repetitive drumming in the backgroundI don't actually like about the song).

thanks for putting this here. I think my fave is the one from the Brisbane carols tho, of The Drummer Boy (just my own fave of course)
