Mariah Carey's version is way softer, better and prettier but yet powerful! This Avalon singer screams too much and unnecessarily which steals away all the beauty of the song! Needless to say, her exaggerated SCREAMING at the end especially, sounds absolutely terrible and it's totally annoying!
And yes, Mariah and Walter Afanasieff indeed co-wrote this beautiful piece.
Mariah started as a gospel singer as well...and she wrote this beautiful song to praise God and she wrote another one called "One Child" in her new Christmas album ....both songs written for our saviour the real reason for Christmas...
@LckyRain are u dumb? check the credits dumbass Mariah Carey wrote this song with Walter Afanasieff when she released Merry Christmas album in 1994. learn to search idiot
She has a beautiful voice!! All of them were happy, feeling the Spirit no doubt. They did an amazing job. No words can describe how awesome this is for me
i think they should have recorded another Christmas album with Melissa. it would have been soooooooo awesome! maybe they'll release a new one in the next few years. maybe next year since it will be 10 years since the first one. we can only hope.
Wow, that was Awesome!!! Keep on sing for the Lord... BB

I had NO IDEA Mariah Carey did this song, so I had to go listen to it - both do a fabulous job. I can't decide who I liked better!

I absolutely love this song. Mariah Carey wrote and perfected it but Avalon brings tears to my eyes when I hear it.

Avalon did a free concert at our church last night. They were like family and shared highs and lows like you and me, so focus was all Jesus.
