This John Lennon song is actually called, "Happy X-Mas (Over is War)." It's actually a subtle "protest song." He was doing many "protest songs" in that period. Some were more overt than others: Working Class Hero, Imagine, Power to the People, Woman is the Nigger of the World. I don't think a lot of people know this as they are celebrating the Christmas cheer.
@ xessica92 hai ragione ...... Lei è perfetto ...... la sua voce è perfetta .... e ... Mi vengono i brividi ogni volta che sento la sua canzone ...... la sua voce è indescrivibile .. lei è semplicemente incredibile ....
Well said, I have often wondered how people can find something to argue about when it comes to beautiful message with a beautiful melody. AND when people do disagree, agreeing to disagree is best then.
@jejdaiveta me too i believe that celine has better voice than lennon.but it is pitty that some kids will learn this song from celine and not from lennon.that means that these ppl will not learn his ideas about world.
thats the way goverments works.481.000 ppl have watch this video.why not lennon's?
1st they killed him and now they are killing his music and his ideas...
I don't think there is anybody who would not know him. At least they talk about him at the beginning. I think it's just a question of voice and choice. Of course it's his song, it is just a cover but someone (like me) can prefer this version. And if you think they are killing his music and his ideas, it's not true. Lyrics is the same, words stay as he wrote them and his ideas are still included in it. There is just a little difference that I love - the voice.
This is whats wrong with this country it is we dont car3e about it or taking care of our own the government cares more about what they can take or do for other countries
i really love this song . i know its july now , but its really toucinhg . i get that special feeling , there is in christmas time, i got that when i'm listening to it (':
Charlotte Church is the young one with the dark hair she has an operatic voice and I love to hear her sing. I did a search of her and when she was 12 she sang Men of Harlech and boy can she hit that final high note. You may remember the song from the movie Zulu.
My favourite Christmas song is Fairytale Of New York by the Pogues & Kirsty MacColl, but John's Happy Xmas (War Is Over) is the 2nd one! This is an excellent rendition of that song, thanks for sharing. 5*
Merry Christmas everyone, and Peace on Earth (the greatest gift of all)!
Celine Dion sings this cover version of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". John Lennon, however, is the actual "author" of the song... he wrote in the early 1970's.
Today is the 1st of December! Christmas is getting close!! Remember, you must have fun and forgive everybody because that's the real Christmas we all wish for. . .
They don't know the title is NOT "And So This Is Christmas"??? The song is "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)". The passion of John Lennon's original song has been quenched, turning it into little more than a dextrose-saturated nursery rhyme.
Christmas song? Sort of. Seems symbolic with the Iraq war. Also, very saddening. It is almost like Lennon knew that once one Vietnam was over, we would be facing one very similar to it.
