  • The best version!!!

  • sibilant "s" throughout. 

  • This song is great, but the one by glee is absolutely awesome.

  • she does an AWESOME job on this song! one of my all time favorites. she really need's to do a christmas album.

  • even sick as a dog she was outstanding.

    Amazing Carrie

  • @zebracake125 WHAT??? she was sick??? you could never tell it.

  • @nibornna yeah poor thing.later in the show she could barely talk but like the trooper and amazing performer she is she sang her heart out! Even asked if she could do JTTW.Which she did and it was great.

  • @nibornna She was so so so sick! She is just THAT good;)

  • The Best Part Of That Introduction Is "OPRY STAR CARRIE UNDERWOOD"

  • This is great. Especially since she was sick that night

  • omg, i have goosebumps, she is fantastic!

  • this gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes:)

  • I love how many critics are here on Youtube lol.... Carrie was sick, give her a break... besides most, if not all, singers make technical mistakes whenever they perform... no one is perfect... she sounded beautiful to me... sometimes it seems like people listen for the mistakes just so they can point them out...

  • @IdolReady they are complimenting on the fact that all though she is sick she still sings this beautifully. they didn't say she sounds like she is sick.  there si actually a few comments above that says that. Maybe u should read the comments more closely before making your own critique about someone elses critique. just because they state out that she was sick doesn't mean they were saying she didn't sound so good.

  • @Purplelady0790 I don't know I think you should go read some of the other comments... there were plenty of people who didn't seem to realize she was sick and my comment was for them. So maybe you should read a little more thoroughly and comprehend before you speak.

  • Sorry but the conclusion to this song sags rather awfully. Why is she flagging so? So untuneful. At the end I was rather pleased it was all over. This is SUPPOSED to be a song of joy!!

  • @georgebur she was sick. i think she sings it very well. i love her version

  • Not a great exhibition of singing here I am afraid to say. Rather flat where she should not be. Her very first Do You See what I see" the word "I" is her problem. But the voice sounds like it is being squeezed out of her. Listen to the Carpenters on this song. Frankly Carrie does not appear to be too awestruck and jubilant in this "happy" carol!!!

  • @georgebur Go listen to another live version of it. She can do it. But this show was like right after she'd gotten off the road for basically the 1st time all year. She her voice was worn down.

  • @georgebur i know..if you watch the rest of the show..she was sick..poor girl..

  • I hope this manniquin is not part of Christamst 2010. Or any other year that follows. I can't believe the love for her. It's like you're all worshipping Justin Bieber. A fake!

  • @oranger2525 hows carrie a fake, she won american idol because of her voice, that's got to count for something... she cant even be put into the same category as justin boo boo

  • @bibirmzboi you've concvinced me. i've seen the light. she's this generation's Patsy Cline. Probably BEST female the singer ever. Better than Ella, Judy, Karen, Crissy, Dusty, etc.

  • @oranger2525 oh ha ha, your sarcastic comment really enlightened me - them singers are back in the day, a bit like you - obviously! Seriously, they were all good but as far as technique and control goes - she does it better than all of them and she is the only modern day country singer i can actually say does a good job, all others lack what she has so stick that in your pie hole

  • @bibirmzboi you're so right, she's the best female singer past or present.

  • no one has more of a beautiful and strong voice like carrie underwood does...she made this songg my fav xmas song of all time

  • i thought her cold made her voice sexy-hoarse......which is perhaps not ideal for THIS song, but is still awesome!!

  • Carrie needs to record a Cristmas album seriously this is such a beautiful version of this song you can tell she means every word. God bless Carrie Underwood!

  • @75DrummerBoy

    Great news! It was announced yesterday that she is!!! She hits the studio in August, and the album should be out for the holiday shopping season.

  • Such a gorgeous song - and an incredibly gorgeous woman. Hate to think that if it weren't for AI her enormous talent might have never been discovered. God bless her. She will have a long career.

  • @LoveMusic720 i know, right????? so many times i think that....if she had sumtng important to do that day, or her car broke down or sumtng, we wudnt hav carrie in our lives!!!

  • I remember song. I sing in choir. I like this song. It sounds really nice.

  • was she sick in that one cause she sounded a little horse

  • yeah she was

  • yes she was

  • wow awesome performance!!!!! lets you know she is devoted to her carrer!!!! love her!!

  • brilliant!! love you so much carrie!!!

  • wow, even sick she still sounds phenomenal!

  • Whenever I want a good performance Christmas song with such meaning, I go to this site to hear Carrie perform this song. Even though vocally, it was obvious she was sick, the emotion and honesty behind it was brilliant.

  • You could not have found better words to describe this amazing performance.. They should really start calling this program Grand Ole Carrie cause 40 years down the line that's what people are gonna be calling her.. Although, I admire her for singing this song even when she's sick, shows this woman has got something most of the people are lacking - Integrity!

  • She was awesome, I remember watching this and she was sick. It was still an awesome performance.

  • damn she luked so gergous from 2:44 to 2:50

  • do you mean "LOOKED SO GORGEOUS"???

  • ha she looked gorgeous the whole time.

  • Very, very nice.

  • Wonderful ! I love you.

  • I really like her like that! She's gorgeous! And this is my favorite Christmas song, and she sings it beautifully! Good job, Carrie! =]

  • This is such a beautiful song. Even though I've heard it for a while, when I heard Carrie Underwood sing it It really became one of my favorites.

  • i love carrie she is such an amazing singer!!, i have never been to one of her concerts but i want to so bad!! i have wanted to forever! but don't have the money ): ): keep doing what you do best carrie you are absolutly amazing!!

  • This song always reminds me of the movie Gremlins :) Love this version.

  • Christmas in August. Doesn't matter. Always Carrie season for me. She was so sick that night, but even sick she's better than all the rest.

  • this is amazing, i wish she would record a christmas cd

  • I love Carrie's version of this song. There is such a purity to her voice.

  • Carrie sounds absolutely flawless- as usual!

  • even though she was sick, this performance was flawless!

  • Beautiful! Love hearing Carrie sing one of my favorite Christmas songs! Would love for Carrie to record a Christmas CD!!

  • Carrie can sing anything, her voice is flawless

  • SERIOUSLY OMFG.

    i hate you if you marked a thumbs down.

    carrie is the most amazing person EVER!!!!

    thumbs down this comment, you'll regret it. you tone deaf air headed twits.

  • absulutly amazing<3

  • I Love You

    Marry Me Babydoll

  • she's so amazing!

  • Absolutely,

  • Clear as a bell is right! Carrie sings with an attitude of worship.

  • man sick or not if i sang like that in this video i'd be happy lol and the fact shes sick and still sounds like that is amazing enough

  • she was so sick that day but she pulled everything off great!

  • why would somebody compare her to flyleaf? those who dont know flyleaf try googling the name. they have two hit songs. cassie and all around me. carrie does a beautiful job

  • Yes, that's Carrie. Sick and yet gave a good performance. If you look closely after this performance Martina McBride & Julianne appauled Carrie.

  • to minwoei, they appauled Carrie, for two reasons, one outstanding performance considering how sick was then and the fact she still did the show despite having such a bad cold, whereas the audience would agree if she would have bow out.

  • Absolute perfection. God I love this girl! Marry me Carrie. You are such a Sweetheart. I adore you. Have a wonderful Sunday.

  • Carrie Underwood is the best singer ever. I love her. Go carrie. Great song too.

  • ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring

  • OMG Absolutely love Carrie great singer all around

    almost the best ever

    How do you guys know that she is sick???

  • well if you cant tell that she is sick from her singing, she mentioned it during one of her performances that night. you could tell she was sick most during The First Noel, but they didn't air that one obviously.

  • This is the first time I heard this song, it's so good! And Carrie did awesome!

  • to hydemegumi4ever, I hope you listen to her, when she is in good health, like when she sings "I Told You So" there at the Grand Ole Opry. This is nothing compared to that. But this is normal for Carrie.

  • Yea, I've watched that performance..

    I think Carrie is amazing all the time. That was my first time listening to "Do You Hear What I Hear" and this song is awesome!

  • AHH! I LOOOVE HER! even when she's sick she still rocks!!

  • to DancingDork3640, who in the heck is Flyleaf, never heard of them, I don't if its group or a single person.

  • Flyleaf is a Alternative metal band. Carrie has the better version.

  • to Epica124, thanks for telling me, who Flyleaf is, doesn't sound I am going to listen to them, not really thrill with metal bands, I prefer country.

  • carrie underwood is WAYYY better then flyleaf hands down!

  • umm why is Carrie (a country singer) being compared to Flyleaf?! (an Alternative band)!! obviously she has a different style than them lol.

  • flyleafs version is absolutely amazing, i'll admit that. i lovelove it.

    but carrie's is better :D

  • I can't wait to see carrie this weekend...

  • not bad from whitney but well over song for such a simple song 6/10

  • i suggest mewc402 listen to carrie singing the same song at the 75th rockeffeller center and get ya fingers out of your ears!

  • WOW! i cannot believe you just said shes always flat and out of tune!!! thats one of the worst things ive ever heard! she's amazingly talented and youre just jealous because there are very few who can even come close to how good of a singer Carrie is...you know she's good if you've been to a concert, she sounds exactly how she does on her albums unlike a lot of other artists

  • someone needs their ears cleaned

  • to carrieufan914, you are wasting your energy trying to mewc402, that's normal for mewc402 to bash, even though the comments have been removed, I figure that it somehow bashing Carrie, even though she has cold, what's else is new for mewc402.

  • im pretty sure 4 fucking GRAMMYS outrides ur opinion. just bc u dont like carrie doesnt mean ur gonna stop her. sorry bud

  • I think the fact that she was sick, makes the song even more emotional does anyone else agree

  • Comment removed

  • "STOP.." LOL She really gets embarrassed easily. :) My goodness! With a bad cold, she managed to sing this well. Amazing!

  • mewc402, u'd better get a new life....why u are so cruel to our beloved carrie underwood...she was sick at that moment, she came out to sing christmas song for all of us.....

    show some respect please

  • are you serious, do you think, mewc402, is going do that, no way, I which mewc402, would do, but seriously don't think so, he or she gets jolly picking on Carrie, it shouldn't be that way, but it is, but I agree with you, mewc402, should bet a new life and have respect for Carrie.

  • i just started usuing youtube, but I've noticed , on all the carrie videos that i watch, you argue with someone! im just finding that a little weird. but whatever. just thought i'd point that out! and i think carrie's amazing too, btw (:

  • to equitation1455, what's your problem, I am not arguing with anybody, I just respnsing to people's comments, what's wrong with that. That's what Youtube is for, why is that weird. I like Carrie's, so what.

  • i dont have a problem :p

    i wasnt trying to be rude in any way, sorry if you took that wrong!

    and i know thats what its for! hehe

    i guess it just seamed like you were getting mad at people for saying there opinion. but haha thats just MY opinion!

    im really sorry if i offended you.

    it just dosent seem like ur responsibility to get mad at someones opinion. what do i know though? haha :p

  • Comment removed

  • I wish she would do a Christmas album!

  • SHe SDHOULD do a christmas album!!!!

  • Carrie is the best!!!!

  • Oh and by the way- maybe I'm just a moron, but...she sounded pretty on-pitch at the 1:58 mark.

    And the whole song, in fact.

    Sounded perfect.

    But again- maybe that's just me? (:

  • You're not alone. It sounded great to me to. Carrie did a good job! :)

  • Comment removed

  • who are you talking to? Me, row759, and is it a compliment, not sure, too short, almost like a code.

  • Comment removed

  • You're not alone. It sounded great to me to. Carrie did a good job! :)

  • Wow. No respect for someone who is so sick and has no voice, yet STILL, for her FANS, performs, risking messing up her voice even more. When I lose my voice, I don't sing and I don't talk. Yet Carrie gets up there, and just for her fans who love her and paid to see her, she sings anyway.

    Get a life, seriously, and have some respect. I don't see you being so brave as to get up on the Opry stage, sick with no voice, and belting out a song.

    She sounds pretty damn amazing for not having a voice.

  • for your information, Miss Carrie happened to be sick and was losing her voice that day so if you would, please be nice she could have made it much worse by singing but yet she risked it just for her fans who love her very much

  • boingtina is pushed, from her style to crappy songs

  • I got a simple question for you? If you hate Carrie singing so much, why are you listening to her, I know you have the freedom to listen to whomever you want. Or are you listening to pick on her and pretty damn stupid, instead of making her stop, why don't you simple not listen to it, and solve your problem.

  • i agree! she did awesome!

  • to frodo6060, thanks, but this normal for Carrie, cold or not, when its the Opry, she always does this kind of performance, she doesn't want to disappoint her fans, even though they would accept her absence, if she would have excuse herself of the cold. But, Carrie doesn't do that.

  • You're just jealous.

  • Carrie is such a fun, energetic person...she always gives her best, and this performance is soft and powerful. I always see her live to keep her doing what she's doing

  • Aaaaaaamazing!!! She did so good!! I love Carrie so much!!

  • I always heard this song on satellite radio and I never knew who it was. I think Carrie's version is awesome!

  • I saw her in LA and she sounded a little horse then, but she was still amazing!!! She does a great job making it not to noticeable.

  • soemone should post Jesus,take the wheel...she was even more sick and she sang it beautifully!! poor Carrie, I hope she's better now!!

  • she is so good live!! she is even sick! that is amazing, to come out on stage sing these songs and be sick!!!

  • when i have a cold i bundle up in sweaters and blankets...i dont put on a micro mini and belt out high notes. sounds good, looks good, go Carrie. if it was me though...folks would be saying "where she at?" becuz I would be home being sick.

  • Carrie wouldn't stay home, even though she was sick. They came to hear her and she doesn't want to disappoint her fans, and she won't use that as excuse, even though would forgive. Most of her fans in her audience probably came from quite a distance and are there for her and only her concert. I think she forgets she is sick when starts singing, though I couldn't even tell she was sick until read in this comments section.

  • I love Carrie Underwood!

  • Carrie had a cold as you could hear her coughing between the verses of the First Noel on the radio broadcast - She's amazing here - this is beautiful! the band is amazing as well

  • Her voice was hoarse and giving out and she even mentioned on stage that she was losing her voice and that she didn't know how her voice would sound on The first noel but that she would give it a try. And you could hear her voice very congested as she talked. So yes, she was sick or at least her voice was giving out.

  • Are you sure she was sick, incredible performance, I hear sing this song, when she completely, she can't do this any better, I believe when you said she was sick, But WOW!!

    She incredible, sick or not.

  • love carrie, she still sounds so amazing o:

  • That's our girl......what a trooper! ;)

    Knowing Carrie, hopefully we'll see that full length Christmas album next year. =) Merry Christmas everyone!

  • I hope so!!!!

  • She is sick and she can still hit all those notes. Like at 3:17 and 3:28 lol. There are people who couldn't sing like her even if they were 110% lol. Also, I love her dress. I think she looks gorgous.

  • watch her Just A Dream performance on Opry Live..

    she hits every high notes even she gets sick!

    i love Carrie:)

  • I just watch her performance of Just A Dream on Opry Live.  And it was like WOW!, what a performance even though she is sick, my goodness, she keeps amazing, but I suppose I should come to except that from Carrie.

  • Carrie did well for being sick and losing her voice. Hope you get well Carrie!!!

  • she looked and sounded amazing...love her!

  • love her so much...

    shes sounded so great no matter in what condition...

  • Carrie is awesome and beautifull and full of class. She should make a full holiday cd.

  • I like hearing this song from Carrie Underwood. This is a nice Christmas song.

  • I love her!!!

  • even sick she s better than 90 % singers they should be ashamed that girl like carrie crushed them she s perfect i feel sorry for her cause you can see she s in pain

  • Couldn't agree with you more! She sings better sick, than all of these other singers that are out today. =]

  • The reason I like her better is because a lot of other singers won't even make attempt to sing when they just a little bit sick. Carrie will sing even when she is sick and sound so go, you don't notice that she is sick, only time she doesn't do it, she said before if she realize she could give sickness to her fans, but that's exception rather than the rule for Carrie, which I appreciate a lot of her for being that way.

  • Martina and Linda Eder, two of my favorite singers have sung with a cold as well.

  • Who is Linda Eder, do you mean Linda Davis, because I have no clue who Linda Eder, help me out. I just saying that Carrie did a job even with a cold, if nobody would have mention, I wouldn't realize it. That's how good she is. Doesn't even sound like she's straining her voice to sing. Of course, she did like a lot of people, once they start, they forget they got a cold.

  • This is one of my favourite carols, and while Martin McBride's version is my overall favourite, Carrie's is also lovely!

  • ive never heard martina's version, but im sure its beautiful

  • Carrie rocks!

  • This is normal, Carrie gives an excellent performance, even with a cold, amazing, even though its Opry, a lot of singers would excuse themselves and said unable to sing because of a cold, but Carrie doesn't do that and audience really appreciates that, they came that night to hear and gives an incredible performace that don't know she has a cold. WOW!

  • Yeah i totally agree and it's probably because of her love for her fans so much and all of us love her! She's one of the best singers of our time (in my opinion) hope she feels better sooooon!

  • I think her fans know she is going to do something like these, from all the times watching her, she has never excuses for not performing and usually she's not late either, which I give credit, I think a lot of times, either her manager will say don't because you're not up to par or even her mother say that. She'll suffer with the pain, so her fans aren't disaappointed, which amazes more about her than anything else.

  • that's a very nice thing to say!! =)

  • i love Carrie:)

    n she did a great job again!

    hope she gets better during Christmas!

  • carrie underwood was still amazing even with a cold! now that's awesome!

  • Damn...that's pretty good for being sick!

  • even though she was losing her voice she rocked it

  • She was soooo good. I felt bad for her, she looked like she was in pain. But omg the definition of a great performer and singer. Wow is all i can say, prob the best show with 3 of my fav singers
