Vince Vance & the Valiants - All I Want For Christmas Is You [HQ]

[brittney97228]

my last name is vance..cool!!

[DreamerGirl54]

This is such an awesome song. Too bad it doesn't get radio play anymore. It far surpasses Mariah carey's version. This girl can sing!!!! 

[tboy24]

@DreamerGirl54 If one more person compares this song to Mariah Carey's song, I am disabling comments. For the 500th and LAST time, IT IS NOT THE SAME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gring022gw]

@tboy24 Mariah Carey's version is better though!

[seanh1997v2]

@gring022gw lol what?

[gring022gw]

@seanh1997v2 well I dont know how exactly I could break it down for you...hum you see I said Mariah Carey's version is better. Thats it nothing else to understain. But you see it was actually a joke because the uploader said that Maria Carey's song and this one are two different songs! He was annoyed of the people comparing those two. So he said: If one more person compares this song to Mariah Carey's song, I am disabling comments. SOOOOOO as a joke a replied to his comment. The end.

[MegaKagie]

who is this singing? does not look like Lisa Layne

[MegaKagie]

I love this video, and Mariah kill this

[TopazDupree]

I first heard this song on country radio and loved it immediately. A different version, with male voices, appeared on a 1996 WCBS compilation Christmas CD. It was sung by Santa's Doo Wop Helpers (Joel Katz, Johnny Maestro, Larry Chance & Bobby Jay). I love both versions.

[principalflutist]

The orginal and still the best.

[beani24329]

Both this and Mariah's are good, but I have grown to like this one way better. I don't even like country, but this song is an exception. In fact, LITE FM, the NYC Christmas station on the radio, played this version far more than Mariah's. I have heard remakes of this version and none pale in comparison. The same can be said for Michael Buble's re-make of Mariah's

[Marielli71]

I thought bernadette peters sang this lol. Nice video.

[Coolrockndad]

Just love this tune any time of year. : )

[1951don]

All I can say is WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2112cupcake]

And that little doggy woggy!!

[Tubedonline]

Wonder how long it takes him to do his hair each day.

Great song !!!!

[etmeyutub]

yeah u rite bra. vince vance and the valiants from new orleans wrote this

[kevinhagan17]

New Orleans Stand Up!!!

[SuperKarend]

This woman does what she does best. She tries to look prettyl The one and only original singer and by the way a fantastic lady, is miss LISA LAYNE . Now were talking talent..

[Leciloo]

This woman can sing!!!

[GreenDoodlebug14]

ive always loved this song. haha his hair thats impressive :) cute video! Merry Christmas! <3

[TJCATLOVER]

Love this song. Sounds like something from way back when!!!!!

[BlueMUC64]

... i've loved this christmas song for ages !

[KaySwin1]

becuse she aint singing this song. the guy with the weird hair is the singer

[gunfighterzero]

@KaySwin1 That is Lisa singing...i have seen it done live..

[char1twitch]

I just imagine it took a while for him to grow his hair.

[hotstuffandicecream]

There may have been many people who sang this song and there may be some as good but I don't see how it gets any better than this. Merry Christmas from North Carolina!!!!!!!!

[7Arcangeloo]

@hotstuffandicecream man i have never heard of this song..! or her !! good GOD this chick . singggaaaa. why is she not huge?

[BBinkerton]

Keep smoking crack boogeyman. It makes you look really smart! LOL. It's the very same. They are all employed by the same company.

[smilygirl1468]

what the heck is up with that hair!

[jerseyman01]

To Maureen712, the song your thinking of is : My Heart Belongs To Only You by Mary Swan that was released by the way on Swan Records in 1958 and was a Bandstand staple until it was found Dick Clark had a part ownership of the label. It's on you tube in a couple spots also.

[Maureen712]

This song sounds like a golden oldie that I haven't heard for a long time. It will bother me until I come up with the title. If this song sounds familiar to you, please reply to me (so I get notified). I don't think it's a Christmas song. It goes, "You are the ........I .... ... ........ It's a slow song. It could have been sung by Teresa Brewer or a singer on "Your Hit Parade." That's all I can remember. No big deal, it will just drive me crazy til somebody thinks of it. ;-{ Thanx!

[barstoolguru]

love this song but to wake up and see that dude staring at me with that hair would freek me out

[msbony2u]

The girl can sing!!!!!!!



[suzytejana]

No doubt my most favorite Christmas song of all time.

[duke11321]

awesome favorite song of all time.

[czar14617]

awesome awesome,,,,,,,this is the best one of them all ------i love this song

[boficat]

My favorte Christmas song, bar none. Thanks to yall.

[pushthosetrees]

sooooooooo much better than mariah. what a set of pipes!

[hotstuffandicecream]

Merry Christmas to the world from North Carolina. Be safe and enjoy and do something nice for someone.



[twittiefan]

Love This Song One Of Our Favorites . On today for sure Hubby & I are celebrateing our anniversary 49 years and we still Love each other as if it were 49 years ago and all i want for Christmas is him

[citygirljody]

This song was released in 1989 on the country charts and re-released in 1993 as a pop song, still a year before Mariah's song of the same title. Otherwise, like many others have said, it is NOT the same song. This tune is considered a one hit wonder with singer Lisa Layne and should be in NO WAY compared to Ms. Carey's of 1994. They are rockin' the poofy hair and poofy sleeves!

[Concepcion8able]

Love the song, Don't care for the man 's Hair Do..Merry Christmass..*

[32a34a]

I love the way she says underneath. She has a really

powerful voice.

[7Arcangeloo]

@32a34a amen . this girl knocked this song .. out of the park

[michelelee69]

Listened to Vince and the Girls do this many times, the best modern Christmas still. Merry Christmas everyone :-)

[mgrella63]

This song is Amazing!! I only heard this song for the first time this christmas season. I dont listen to country at all but this is Amazing!!!!!

[MrLizardoz]

To bogeyman....you suck much

[reyluly]

i love this song. el profe espirulina

[louisyoung1]

The girl in the video is really pretty,those eyes are so beautiful,if you are out there somewhere,hope you have a Merry Christmas.

[TheHanyaksRock]

Find The Hanyaks version... it's a cover of the Vince Vance one.

[MMelancholyone]

This is the best version I have heard!!!!!!!!

[4branson]

The songs are not the same !! Vince Vance & The Valiants version was written by Troy Powers & Andy Stone ---- Mariah's version was written by Walter Afanasieff & Mariah Carey.

Both are good but Lisa Layne's vocals on the Vince Vance song are just hard to beat. The girl can sing !!

[bobfantasy]

All I want for Christmas is you. And that haircut, and those dresses. ♥ ♥ ♥

[Starsk25]

Why is the singers name Vince? She doesn't look like a Vince or a Vance. No, it's not the same song as Mariah Carey.

[Zanderith]

Regarding this song and the similarly titled Mariah Carey song:

1) This song is sung by Lisa Layne;

2) The lady in the video is Lori Nunn.

3) The melody is a modified version of Bobby Vinton's "My Heart Belongs Only To You."

4)The most notable cover of this song was by Leann Rimes.

5) The Mariah Carey song has been covered by numerous singers including Michael Buble and Shania Twain.

[veimevakk]

Mu unistus oledki Sina, igavesti.

[Dormousey]

If you get someone home for just one Christmas .... this is the best!



[HoboGus]

Lisa Layne can sing circles around that over rated, douche bag mariah carey!!!!!!

[mrpittsburghpi]

@HoboGus Hey now wai ta minute. Lisa Layne can definitely sing this song very well, lest not be ragging on Mariah carrey's version which is has an upbeat tempo to it. Mariah carrey can definitely sing! Hell, she even broke Elvis Presleys' Billboard record for 17 # 1 songs. In my books, both Lisa Layne & Mariah Carrey each do an excellent job singing this song in their own way.

Also Merry Christmas to all throughout the world from the great city of Pittsburgh PA!!!

[hamlinfan69]

didnt someone else sing this song but the girl in this video is lip synching?

[bnegs521]

@hamlinfan69 Yep. Lisa Layne actually sung this song. This is a lady from the group Hearsay. She is pulling a Milli Vanilli here.

[hamlinfan69]

@bnegs521 ahhh ok ngot ya thanx

[HellCatWoman72]

That guy with the tall hair is Vince Vance... very nice guy..love to go see his shows..tons of fun!! This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. Hope your holiday is wonderful V.V. and the V's :)

[UPSMEONLYDYTN57]

I PERSONALLY LIKE THIS VERSION MUCH BETTER..........SORRY TO SAY.........BUT, THE TRUTH BE TOLD...THIS HAS MORE FEELING AN EMOTIONS...LOVE IT!!!

[htarceno]

is this Lisa Layne singing this?

[zomgitsant]

WHAT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE? This song is a different song than the one by Mariah Carey. Yes, they have the same title, but Mariah WROTE her own "All I Want for Christmas Is You" song that is on her 1994 "Merry Christmas" album. Mariah's version is NOT a cover of this. It's a completely different and original song that happens to have the same title. The only other popular artist who has covered this version by Vince Vance and The Valiants is LeAnn Rimes on her Christmas album.

[Chrisredfield1]

I thought this guy was Paul Reubens, with tall hair!

[photoguyjim1]

Bought the CD just for this song ---- absolutely love it ---- play it alot this time of year. I know there are many songs with this title but this is my all time favorite. pretty lady, and strange hair.

We have a local band with a fantastic girl singer who sounds exactly like this and a tremendous sax player. have tried to get them to do this but no success yet. Guess the CD will have to do.

[SingSong0777]

Beautiful video Happy Holidays every one thank you 4 sharing

[biggootz]

Who is this woman lip syncing this song?

[obamabasher1]

Lisa Layne at her best

[crystallllllllx3]

his hair distracted me.

[EpicCep]

Rofl!!!!!

[lonelystreet]

I have been looking for this version for 2yrs!!! but I had no idea who sings it! Thank you for posting what is now one of my favorite songs!!! lonelystreet

[HoboGus]

22 people actually meant "Dis I Like"

[HoboGus]

Lisa's version is the BEST version of this song. I love it!!!!!!

[misschristmastree72]

When my friend got serousis in th liver and went home to tell his family he almost past away this song came on and made me cry. It still makes me cry today. And i got want for Christmas ........ He's still alive.

[lonelystreet]

@misschristmastree72 hi, if your friend has problems with his liver,tell him to take the herb,Milk thistle,it repairs the liver.I to had some serious health issues,a few yrs ago,Herbal remidies saved my life. good luck! lonelystreet

[lonelystreet]

@misschristmastree72 I tried to post this a few seconds ago,but it didnt post. if your friend still has problems with his liver,have him take the herb called Milk Thistle,it repairs the liver cells. I was very ill many yrs ago and herbal remidies saved my life. good luck

[pkrieter]

OK I know this is not the same song as Mariah or Shania sang but I love this song much better than theirs !

[Amylynne406]

actually Leeann Rimes did a version of this song that isn't half bad...it's on youtube here somewhere

[liliokalani90]

all i want for christmas is 5 more minutes with you Momma to tell you how much i love and miss you

[lonelystreet]

@liliokalani90 me to,I miss my parents so very much,esp at christmas time.

[mohessian]

Yup, the Mariah song is fine. The only problem is that EVERYBODY covers that song, and NOBODY covers this one. This one has much more emotional content too. Passion. Nice.

[fullhousefrek]

@mohessian I'm glad nobody else has done this song! If they did it would never be better than this version!!!

[pandandadadyyanke]

Justin biber is gay...

[moose354]

Lisa Layne is truly awesome. What power and yet perfectly under control. One of my favorite Christmas songs. Thank you for sharing.

[tboy24]

@1sleepingdragon Once again, this is NOT the same song that Mariah Carey sings. The two songs have nothing in common except for the title.

[1sleepingdragon]

@tboy24 I know it's not the same song. As a child of the 80's I got to hear Shania and Mariah do their song and The Valiants do this song. I refer to it as a version (even though the two are nowhere similar) because of the titles being the same. Maybe my use of the term is incorrect. I'm merely stating that out of the two songs this one is far superior. If I had time to read all of the comments, I maybe would have worded things differently knowing that this had already been brought up.

[manael1947]

@tboy24 

[thebogeymaniscoming]

@tboy24

That's false, the lyrics are also quite similar. It is a cover of this song except they changed the melody of it.

[tboy24]

@thebogeymaniscoming I am starting to think that people are stupid. IT IS NOT THE SAME FUCKING SONG!!!! I don't need to have people keeping on with the whole thing comparing the two...APPLES AND ORANGES...if you're smart, listen to them back to back. Not a single lyric matches except for the title. DUH!!!

[ladyssnape]

@tboy24 No, they aren't the same. This one is better...

[cmarks03081961]

@tboy24 Narrowminded vulgar people always think that everyone else is stupid, vulgarity is a very poor expression of ones self. Its a beatiful Christmas song as well as many others.

[VA24541]

@thebogeymaniscoming If you had taken the time to listen to the two songs, you would know they are not similar in any way. It is plain you are only looking at the song's titles and assuming they are the same song. I would suggest you buy yourself a new hearing aid battery and install it right away.

[jlkmag1]

@tboy24 same or not the same this one is still the best!!!!!!!!!

[manael1947]

@1sleepingdragon Yes, I like this song better, too. Know they're not the same song, but I like this better.

[punkvictim]

@1sleepingdragon mariah carey wrote the song all i want for christmas is you. and this is a different song. you do realize that right?

[1sleepingdragon]

@punkvictim As I responded to tboy yes I know the two are different. I refer to them as versions because they have the same title. I was born in 1982 so when both Vince Vance and Mariah put out their respective singles I got to hear them. All credits to Mariah for the arrangement and lyrics for her song, but listen to the two songs and you'll notice that her chord progression is a transpose of Vince Vance's. Also notice the Valiants did this originally in 1989. Mariah not until 1993.

[punkvictim]

@1sleepingdragon that's interesting. i'd have to take a closer listen. by the way i'm born in 89 so you're not that much older and wiser than me xD

[zbecksterz]

@1sleepingdragon I love both this song, and Mariah Careys song. Both are great, but yes, they are 2 completely different songs with the title in common.

[VA24541]

While I agree this song is better than Mariah' song, they are 2 different songs. This is not another version of of the same song. yes, they have the same title, but the melody and lyrics are totally different. They have different song writing credits. They are not similar. This song was written by Troy Powers & Andy Stone (AKA Vince Vance). Carey's song was written by Mariah Carey & Walter Afanasieff. It is not the same song. Open your ears!!!

[Milolan]

She has an incredibly beautiful singing voice. This is one of the most awesome songs I've ever heard.

[intricatesims]

i wish some guy would follow me around with a sax...

[Scorponok2009]

@intricatesims you need Sergio.

[Holiday4cast]

it's his hair she is attracted to...for sure

[Imtherealsaturnsonic]

i hate that mariah carey song,its suck major Christmas balls!! this is the one and only all i want for Christmas is you as far as im concerned....lol

[guitarmanDF]

Her name is Lisa Layne. What an awesome voice! She does a Patsy Cline tribute show in Branson. I'd really like to see that next time I'm there.

[judyrose1957]

such a great voice whatever happened to her?

[TriviaGeek463]

@judyrose1957 Thats what I was wondering? Just scanned the posts here....what is her name :)

[Pimadude]

I've actually heard this song before, I didn't know it shared the same name as Mariah's version

[SGTDWJ]

hey all you fing chowderheads mariahs tune as well as this one are both great

[lovingtheoldtunes]

This is it! I was fortunate enough to see the whole company on stage at Christmas time some years ago at one of the Casino boats in the New Orleans area. My favorite seasonal song of all time! Thanks for the post.

[garybarr007]

This is such a great song. Mariah must have stole the name and then song a version that gives me gas.

[robinw1720]

soooo.... what's up with dudes hair?

[PilotDJ192]

I guarantee if they put the guy at 2:02 at a salvation army collection can, more people would donate......

[hjg1953]

@PilotDJ192 If I had the money I'd hire that guy just to play a few tunes by himself.

[Rachromo9]

Love this song........but all i want for Christmas is a horse.....that I ride alot.

[MrShadow302]

Amazing voice! I love this song!

[grhPoet]

Great voice, great version of the song, But what is with the video? Who is this band? I had to ask the radio station who sang this version!

[PantlessSuperstar83]

Why are y'all comparing this to Mariah's song? It's not even the same song. Just the same title.

[bossgobbler21]

is this a guy or wtf??

[zilcheynon]

Best version of this song. My friend and I love to dance to this.

[TheSpideycounselor]

I'm working on learning this to play for my boyfriend on Christmas:)

[ZOyacks]

What is with that guy's haircut?

[AsLongAsFiyeroIsMine]

I love this song, but I can't focus on anything but that dude's hair.

[stacyc330]

The woman singing in this video is not the actual singer Lisa layne

[joe122450]

I also feel its the best version of this hit. Mariahs version is to bubblegum and is so over played. I had a hard time finding this version. Buit I'm glad I did.

[boliviabobby]

This is my favorite version of this Christmas song!! Lisa Layne has an incredible voice!! I always look forward to hearing it every year at Christmas time!!

[raeven1212]

holy shit, that dude's hair... I came in at the wrong time

[premier0552]

Lovely Song. One of my favorites !!!

[bambinobabymonster]

Nice hair XD i like this version better than mariah carey

[kiddielandpark]

Vince Vance wrote this song.

[Foojega]

Whats up with this guys hair?

[skylarf1999]

This original version is not as popular and doesn't have as many views as I thought it would... Anyone else agree?

[cullengirl4ever87]

i love this song. this has become my fave Christmas song, besides Silent Night. not every girl wants material things for Christmas. if i had a bf right now, everything else would be nice to have, but just to have someone is way more exciting!

[MrKaraokeCowboy]

From what information I could find, I believe the lead singer's name is Lisa Layne.

[evensout]

@MrKaraokeCowboy yes it is Lisa Layne doing the vocals... heard that she is the cosmetics girl in the vid, but you can't really get a good enough look to say yea or nay... by the way, Merry Christmas

[7c8f]

who is the singer???she's great

[Lu70sChild80sFan]

I will never get sick of this song at Christmas time! This version puts Mariah Carey's version to shame...Hate to say it, but it's true!

[TheTallGrassPrairie]

Never considered this a country song, but it is one of my favorites anyway! She really does sing the hell out of it, and no one else does it as well. And the sax player does need to be recognized. The insert in the CD lists Jim Horn on tenor sax.

[helencheddar]

Does anyone know the guitar chords for this?

[a476716048]

@helencheddar

A C#m D A B7 E

[tastyhalloween]

@helencheddar Don't mean to sound mean, but google is your friend. You can find tab sheets for any song for any instrument.

[ckschmidt4854]

GREATNESS, nothing furhter needs to be said.

[teamcarramrod1]

douche bag hair cut

[MsBatbird]

I saw this video back in the early 90's on CMT and I've never found a better version done by anyone. I had it on videotape, but when VCR's went bye bye, so did my chance of seeing it. Youtube made it possible again. Every year near Xmas I make sure to listen to and watch this video. I love, love, love it. Merry Christmas everyone!

[Billysea62040]

And by the way, who's the sax player?

[Billysea62040]

You need to add the singer's name along with yours.

[DAMGoodEntertainment]

A true classic for Christmas, this song is! And it's my favorite version of this song! I wouldn't have a good Christmas without hearing this tune! I've heard it on the radio every December back in the 90's.

[lslythang1]

I'm from New Orleans, and so are Vince, Vance This is The best, and "ONLY" version that counts....It takes my heart away....

[dkeneagy]

Always a favorite Thank You youtube.

[bailey217769]

There is no 1. Knock your hypocritical classiness off. I have always liked this song & my xmas is gonna suck so quit bein a damn baby. YOU wanted me gone YOU wanted me out of your life YOU dont need me YOU dont want me & YOU told me to leave YOU the hell alone!!!! Grow up!!

[ttaurus393]

I watch this every christmas this is just beautiful

[lslythang1]

@dannydutchboy2011 hahahahahaha too funny !!!!!

[foreverblueskies]

When you think of Xmas, you think of this song....not Mariah's version.

[undsiouxfan]

I like this version way better then Mariah Carey's version. Thanks for posting it!

[cjlame1]

When this video came out, I just loved it. Now it seem kinda corny. But I love how she sings.

[TwisterCabaret]

I may be completely wrong about this, but aren't this song, and the one one by Mariah Carey, two completely different songs that just happen to have the same title and themes? There's no real similarity between the tunes and lyrics. In fact, if they didn't have the same title, I don't think anyone would be comparing them at all. After all, how many chircistmas songs can you think of where the basic message is 'I like christmas, but would rather spend it with the person I love'?

[atemsdestinee93]

@TwisterCabaret That's what I was totally thinking. They don't sound the same, lyrics are different, different audiences. Same title doesn't mean people have to constantly compare the two when it's obvious that they are REALLY different. I personally prefer Mariah Carey's, only because I've heard it all of my life (plus, so many artists do remakes of her version), but this one does sound amazing and stands out by itself as its own song. :)

[mickimcaboy]

If one can't say something nice

One should not speak at all.

I love this song, Christmas would not be the same without it.

[MrJaxon545]

@mickimcaboy I saw the at The Agora Ballroom in Dallas, TX 30 years ago and loved them! They put on an awesome concert =)

[definitedoll]

I loathe this song. WDRC plays it all the time for Christmas. It makes me cringe with her straining her voice to the max, I pictured this cheap looking chick dressed in black very mid 1980's so very desperate for some stupid guy........... "I dont' need "spensive things " hey lady learn to pronouce stuff before you sing it!

[karenbrennaberino]

I think that this is one of the most UNDER RATED Christmas songs of all time! It's so great -- the voice, the feeling, the sentiment is PERFECT! Plus -- it's sexy! It's got everything and MORE than Mariah Carey's song of the same title... :-) It's on the top of my Christmas song list every year. I don't know who Vince Vance is -- but Lisa Lange -- you are GREAT!!!!!

[MrJoebe1]

nice song but the video is corny! Check out the hair-has to be late 80's or early 90's when it came out.

[ThiXtreme1]

Mariah Carey killed this song, this version is a million times better!!!

[atlantis45690]

Can you say, lip sync? The girl in the vid isn't the one who's singing it. I don't know why they didn't have the original singer do it.

[TheKuroshikyo]

Gosh dammit, I had to freaking break through all those Mariah Carrey versions to find this song. I don't even really like her version, it's... Bleh. Too... I don't know, computerized? Over done? Something.

[helencheddar]

@TheKuroshikyo i agree. that song is everywhere, and this one is MUCH better!

[MattRoxProd17]

@TheKuroshikyo me to i heard this on the radio and my mom loves this

@TheKuroshikyo - I personally agree with you! The Mariah Carey version is so o
