[junior2004hasz]

Vanessa Williams has an absolutely incredible voice. INCREDIBLE. She's worth ten thousand screaming wailing Mariah Carey's. Williams is the real deal... seriously very talented.

[jorgealexandre]

Look for Yarelin García's Go Tell It On The Mountain COVER!! amazing!

[wb4ever1]

SHOUT IT FROM THE MOUNTAIN !

[toblikehim40]

I've always like vanessa williams, and I must say at 4:39-4:43 I was impressed, I did not expect that from her!!

[dpanessa]

i sung this at St Patrick School when i was in Second Grade i sung this kind of the song

[dearbhla1993]

is that whilimeana from ugly betty singing? :)

[ladymusiclover]

Yes it is, she's an actress and singer.

[atomicsockhop]

You Go... My Jersey Girl! I Love You!

[jessicalm145]

do you know who the choir is? and was this in NYC?

[OceanKingNY]

According to the CD liner notes for this track, the orchestra & choir were arranged by Jeremy Lubbock, and the

choir on "Go Tell It on the Mountain" was arranged by Andrae Crouch.

However, that doesn't mean that the people we see singing are the actual choir members. Maybe they are, but they could have just been extras who were hired to lip synch to the recording.

This special was shot in Hollywood, I believe.

[OneHundredChords]

who are the dancers? or at least from what company?

[OceanKingNY]

The dancers' names are Paula Brown & Darrel Wright. I don't know what dance company they came from.

[Danielle58282]

@OneHundredChords its a play

[Toxicflu]

Great job on the video splicing. Thank you for the full version of this song. (we can only see the lips not synced between 4:58-5:16) But other than that its perfect!

[OceanKingNY]

Thanks for the compliment. I think you're the first person to notice where that splice is (or the first person to comment on it, anyway). It was fun finding ways to "expand" the video so that I could use the uncut audio.

[jsauls2]

Is the little girl singing in the choir the same as the actress playing in the movie Precious that recently came out

[yungwill513]

she wasnt singin !!!

[zebragiraffeman]

Yes, it's me. I'll check the profile you're speaking about, but if I'm looking really old maybe it's time for plastic surgery!

[zebragiraffeman]

Thank you for your quick response. R. Waldman

[OceanKingNY]

Are you Randy Waldman? Or a family member? I only ask because your profile says you are 29, but in his YouTube videos, Randy Waldman looks a bit older than that. Either way, thanks for posting.

[zebragiraffeman]

Just to set the record straight, your credits are incorrect. It is not David Foster playing keyboards on this track. It is Randy Waldman playing both piano and organ on this recording.

[OceanKingNY]

The CD liner notes for this track read, "Acoustic Piano - Randy Waldman" and "Keyboards - David Foster." I didn't include every single musician in my notes because the credits would be a mile long. I only noted what Mr. Foster's contribution to each track was, since it was his album. But since you brought it up, I added Mr. Waldman to the list. :)

[tristandrews]

I remember having the Christmas album.Vanessa that was beautiful the way she did this song god bless

[herbybassy]

I AGREE with you VENESSA.....THIS SINGING OF THE GOSPEL MUST BE SING!!!. JESUS BLESS YOU!!!!!

[CCarmen]

there's simply no other woman whose beauty compares to Vanessa's.

[skatmatt]

FUCK. she is so fierce.

[4u2dscvr]

this is my favourite christmas song

MErry Christmas to everyone from the people of the caribbean

[1963SLD]

Merry Christmas with love from America

[Free2bepurp]

I lost my Christmas CD of this, gonna have to buy another one-I love it!

[GOP71]

Don't care when it was released, its just incredible! Mrs. Williams also is just too pretty!

[josbo51713]

How could this performance be from 1993 when the album wasn't released until 1996?

[OceanKingNY]

Because Vanessa recorded this for David Foster's 1993 Christmas album. He gave her permission to include this track on her own Christmas album in 1996.

[mshorts]

It's sung without any passion or emotion.

[josbo51713]

There is no passion or emotion because she isn't singing this live. This is the version from her album.

[sunshineunc]

She is so awesome... I LOVE IT Thanks so much for uploading this

[OceanKingNY]

You're welcome!

[jessicalm145]

i remeber this song! my mom must have had the tape!

[OceanKingNY]

Good to know your mom raised you right. :)

[ar31969]

[OceanKingNY]

Yep, doesn't she always? Must be that Miss America vibe.
