  • Damn I love this song!

  • always loved Mariah but....i would give $1,000,000 to sound even close to how Lisa sings ABSOLUTELY INCREDABLE

  • Oh that voice and oh that sax. Leann Rimes has this on her album but the orchestration overpowers the vocals. Love Lisa's version

  • the very best secular Christmas son- religious would be Oh Holy Night!

  • This isn't the same song...Mariah's song is her original rock song, this is a totally different song with same title :)

  • @cocoa12 wow, r u dumb? she got most of the lyrics from this song... idiot

  • @cocoa12 THIS ONE CAME LONG BEFORE MARIAH'S SONG

  • This is 1 of my most favorite Christmas songs. she has a most beautiful voice

  • merry christmas everyone!! I just uploaded a cover of this song and I would love it if any of you could listen to it and tell me what you think :)

  • This song will always belong to Lisa Layne of Vince Vance & the Valiants fame, no matter who covers it they're playing for 2nd place

  • I listen to this song every year and love it for sure. How can you not want the one you love for christmas. Rock on

  • Search all you like; you will never find a better version of this song anywhere!!!!!!!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG HOPE ITS A GOOD ONE 4 YA'LL

  • This is MY VERY FAV Christmas song! Man, Lisa has a set of pipes! Beautiful!!! None of the new versions even sound good

  • This is the second best Christmas song of all time! The first (in my opinion) is Please Come Home for Christmas. The Eagles version!!

  • What a great voice! Who is she?

  • The first version and still the best.

  • the best version!!

  • these is a beautiful christmas song. love it

  • This song is making me cry nonstop!!

    

  • this song gets me every time!!!!

  • This song blows the doors off any other cover version! How could anyone dislike this???

  • I do believe this version is fromeven earlirand yes..it just has its own sound that u can keep listening to just "one more time"..lol

  • Best orgininal version I've ever heard. Love this song.

  • The best version ever. Thanks for posting. Can't hear it enough, Beautiful.

  • This is my favorite version of the song!!! AND it's the only one my local radio station plays..so suck it Mariah!

  • I got to see Vince Vance and the Valiants do this song. It was fantastic!

    Yes, The original is the best!

  • Mariah's version needs some sax:) and, it needs to go back to these lyrics.

  • love this! i can't really say it's better than mariah's because they are both so different...meh. oh well!

  • Now THIS is the real All I Want For Christmas Is You.

    Mariah Carey eat your heart out.

  • this is completely different from mariah's song. different lyrics and everything. my mom can't figure that out either.

  • WOW! This beats the snot outta carey's version!!!

  • WOW!

  • Now ths girl can sing<3 Merry almmost Christmas!!!

  • Love this version always! :)

  • This is another favorite the older songs are always the best still I think. You don't have all the backup, electronic and computerize helping them along just good music and real voices and talent.

  • That Blonde is HOT!!!!!!

  • After I posted I was reading thru the rest of the site & realized "he" was really a "she". I almost asked the question but thanks for the acknowledgement anyway. I enjoy listening to her sing - she reminds of Judy Durham from the Seekers. Thanks for posting - I looked last year for this song so was happy to see it posted this year.

  • One Of the best songs

  • This song reaches to a time long gone by. I don't know if its the words, the way he sings it, the pitch of his voice - he sings as thou he's singing to someone with longing. A masterpiece for sure.

  • @Beck9476 This is sung by Lisa Layne. Vince Vance & The Valiants is the name of the group.

  • Lovely ...lovely simple lovely and awesome. WOW what a voice...!!! Where those

    golden years are gone...? in the distance a beautiful song of love is coming to

    all of us... what the world needs is LOVE...LOVE...and this is the most tender and

    beautiful song of christmas MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR YOU ALL...

  • Wish they would play this on the radio more often. Love, Love ,Love this song! I belt it at the top of lungs when I'm in the car. I don't care what people think! Love mariah too, but this song ROCKS!

  • Why are so many people comparing this song to the one by Mariah Carey? If you listen to both songs it is very obvious that they are two completely different songs that happen to have the same name. Both songs are good, though my personal favorite is this one.

  • How can anyone not like this song? It's absolutely beautiful, and very much underplayed. Where I live, WODS and WROR have been playing Christmas music for a week and I haven't heard this one yet. And like others have stated, nothing beats an original. Thanks for posting this.

  • This is the song I would play for my wife. Means more to me now that she has passed away. this is for you Liz! there will never be anyone else but you, for me!

  • This is absolutely the best version. Brings back so many memories.

  • mariah  sucks at all songs she sings

  • How come you never hear of Lisa with a voice like this?? Just beautiful!

  • This song will always be for you, "Sweetie." You are as special as this song. There is no one else who will embody what this song means to me except you. In a brief span of my life, you enriched it and gave me the inspiration that I needed, when I needed it most. Thank you. You may never realize this blessing that you gave me, but it is enough that you were once a part of the most wonderful time of my life. I remain...

  • This is the BEST!!! I first fell in love with this song when our daughter, our only child was overseas with her Husband, he was in the US Navy with our first grandchild for Christmas. They meant EVERYTHING to us!!! We could not get off work to go - I had a Grinch for a boss, I almost got fired for begging for the time off. It was my saddest Christmas EVER!! All my husband and I wanted was to be with our daughter and granddaughter and son-in-law!!

  • oooo im in love with those guitar changes

  • i think this is a beautiful song, i like mariah too. but this one has a jazzy beat to it. i heard it but didnt know the name of it. they should play it more often on the radio or on music choice. these original artist need to get their recogitions instead of all these new artist taking all the credit acting like they did something new.

  • Why the crap is mariah carey getting all the credit when this exists?!

  • @hannahlova23

    hannalove23, you JUST CAN NOT BE MORE RIGHT!!! Nothing against Mariah per se, but she is soooo ordinary and nothing more. I had such a hard time finding this version. No doubt this is the best version and thanks for posting.

  • @hannahlova23 Song lyrics are copyrighted, but song titles are not. Mariah Carey's song was co-written by her and Walter Afanasieff and released in 1994. The song posted here was co-written by Andrew John Franichevich Jr. (Vince Vance aka Andy Stone) & Troy W. Powers. It was released as a single in 1989 and  is the most-played Christmas song on country radio.

  • @hannahlova23 I guess it's because her version's the most popular one ♥♥

  • @hannahlova23 ABSOLUTELY - this is the best version ever recorded!

  • @hannahlova23 That's what I want to know!

  • @hannahlova23 because she wrote it? not to mention she's the original?

  • @hannahlova23 this song is completely different from mariah's. So, Mariah is getting credit for her own effort, not Vince Vance & the Valiants'.

  • @hannahlova23 Mariah's song is a whole different song- just the the same name- and both are great-BUT THIS ONE ROCKS

  • My favorite Christmas Song!!!

  • What a beautiful voice... :) (: ]

  • the original is always better

  • @bflclarinet Damns traight!

  • @bflclarinet Which is Mariah Carey

  • my wife and I embrace this song as our christmas dance song, thank you.

  • I have listened to this repeatedly today ! I just LOVE IT !

    her voice is just too much ! Very blue zee ! almost dreamlike !

  • @MikeChambers1001 I listen to this song repeatedly, any time of the year. It is beautiful & her version is the only one worth listening to as far as I am concerned!

  • Awesome song!!!! Lisa Layne is such a Great Singer.

  • This is my favorite recorded version of this song. Listening makes me, I hang on to every note this very talented artist sings. Also,I really like the music style of the band is playing.

  • mariah carey sounds like a county fair talent show contestant compared to Lisa

  • Just as no one does unchained melody like Bobbie Hatfield, no one does this song like Lisa.

  • @historic57 You got that right!!!

  • i loved this song the first time I heard it on the radio.

  • Lisa Layne is an incredible voice and beautiful person...saw her in Branson.. damn what a show...

  • This has been my favorite Christmas song since it came out. Lisa Laine gives me chill's when she sings this song.

  • I absolutely adore this version of this song! She has such an incredible voice and it gives me chills every time I hear it. Perfect song to listen to in August in Texas when we're having 101+ degree weather every day.

  • ♥ it! her voice is so unique! and i love it. she makes the song!

  • my favorite Christmas somg of all time... Lisa layne is the best

  • Beautiful song. What more can I say.

  • this version is so much better than mariah carey's version

  • @bflclarinet Mariah Carey's song isn't the same as this one. I mean the lyrics are different. But I do like her version since so many people started putting pictures of Johnny Depp with it on YouTube!

  • @bflclarinet this version is Better.?? whoooooooot.?!! hahahaha.. then how can u explain why Mariah's version of all i want for xmas is you" is more popular and is #1 xmas song of all time.? if this one is better..?

  • @iLLusion625 Mariah's BITES ! This one is best !

  • @iLLusion625 Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm sure someone will, but aren't they two different songs?

  • i heard this on my bus and loved it =)

  • no one can sing this as ronda vince

  • i could listen to this forever till my last breath...

    god bless all in this albm

  • This sounds something like the melody of Lee Andrews song: "Long Lonely Nights" .....Long Long and Lonely Nights, I've cried my eyes over you..... What you all say?

  • Lisa Layne is the vocalist in this video...has her own CD...she is the star of the band!

    Monarchmg on youtube ...thanks Lisa!

  • Love, love, LOVE this !!! Great song, great vocal.

  • loove this version! :)

  • Awsome!!

  • I'm glad you posted the version of Lisa Layne with Vince Vance. Lots of people have recorded this song but nobody does like this group, love it!

    Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all who read this comment!

  • @lindamarlane Cast my memory back there, Lord, sometimes overcome thinking about holiday seasons in my youth with a restless heart and half a brain and roadhouses in the New York and New England night. And my apologies to Van Morrison. I can't wait for Thanksgiving and Xmas just so I can remember again.

  • finally a decent version

  • Love it. Thanks for posting!

  • Awesome ~~

  • What A Beautiful song. Love it

  • 50's do-wopp and that voice what could be better, don't get me wrong Mariah does a good job, but the rasp in Lisa Laynes voice just does something to me if you know what I mean.

  • Beautiful.....and some tears rolling down my cheeks....

  • BTW who is the singer? Sure not Vince Vance, or is that a female's name????

  • Singer is Lisa Layne

  • Yeah, this is the BEST version of this song, now, and forever. Thanks for the

    post.

  • OH MY HOKAGE! Thank you person for this song I've been looking for it everywere and all i've been gettig was MC's version soo THANK YOU for having this song and it not being MC ^^

  • God I Love living in Louisiana; Greatest music on earth; wife and I were at Moisant Airport flying to Vegas; and there comes Vince Vance....hair 3 feet high....he was playing a gig out there; ONLY in Louisiana! GREAT Post BTW!

  • No one will believe me, but Lisa Layne is my aunt =)

    She used to do a show called "A closer walk with patsy cline"...she sounds just like patsy. I think she will be doing a shows like that in San Antonio starting some time in January i believe. I can't remember the name of the theater. God...i remember her taking me around to meet Vince Vance and the others back when i was 4 lol.

  • Seriously? wow! that is amazing!

  • @JoBrosareoffthechain  I thought the original version was by Brenda Lee. No?

  • This is the best version of this song by far

  • Well, why not? She has to be SOMEONE's aunt, no? :-)

  • @conkerjb09 awesome, you are lucky... Lisa is an incredible talent...

  • @conkerjb09 i beleive u, lisa is wonderful. i wanna hear more.im from new orleans, in fl now and my cousins knew lisa n band

  • @conkerjb09 Please tell you aunt.. that She has more sex appeal in her vocal cords than most women have in their who bodies.... truely amazing

  • @conkerjb09 Wow! That's awesome! Is she really this amazing in real life? Even if she isn't tell her that her voice is gorgeous! :D

  • @conkerjb09 I just love her and have seen the show "A closer walk with Patsy Cline". This is the most amazing rendition of this song......she OWNS it for sure.

  • @conkerjb09

    Surely, you're proud of your aunt. As most say, not even the big name singers can top the way she sings this one. Also, I feel the same way about the way she sings "I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU". She does it better than Dusty Springfield.

  • @mannymanano You're 100% dead on there Manny. She beats Dusty and does a super job on Aretha's "RESPECT" too. I wish I had a tape of all the covers she did with VVV back in the 80's. Lisa could sing almost anyones song as good or better than they could. What a voice.

  • Comment removed

  • @conkerjb09 well shes a very good singer you probably have her talent!and dont woryy i beleive you my friend found out he was genetically related to bonnie as in bonnie and clide and im not kidding im totally serious!

  • golly i lovee this song! thanks for the lyrics. and i like ur screen name =]

  • This is a great song and the best version!!
