Whitney Houston - The Christmas Song

[JackJCPeeters]

And give me goosebumps again and again.

[JackJCPeeters]

being there own. They sound like Whitney but they never make it like Whitney) comes in her high notes(pitches) but it sounds different. I'm Dutch so please forgive me when I write something wrong. She has a voice who came over the g3 note. It's heavenly and I don't hear those notes in her later songs anymore. She can be almost 50, but there are more singers who have there voice. even when they are older like Glenn Frey. Excuse me of saying this, but she have to come back.

[JackJCPeeters]

I don't aspect that's she's singing like a Barbie. But that was the first song that I heard from Whitney. I'm 46 years old, and yes she has almost the same age as I have. She has a voice with all dynamics and articulations, dephts and hights. In my opinion, she's the best female singer I ever heard. Celine Dion (when we are speaking of the women who have made it, "cause there are so many females who are very greath and good, look at Hollands got tallent, but they all miss the potentail of ..

[KitzieChris]

my all time favorite..=)

[JackJCPeeters]

She was AMAZING!! Such talent and now?

You were one of the best, greatest singers in the world. From the beginning of I wanna dance with somebody, I loved your voice. What's happend to you. Is something else more joyfull then singing? Come on girl, come back to us. We all enjoy and love your voice. We miss you.

[andyzoi]

@JackJCPeeters She is back!!Go and watch Sparkle. She will be singing gospel. Her voice is much stronger now and cleaner. But don't forget that she is almost 50. Don't expect her to sing like the black Barbie she used to be in the 80's. Her voice is more mature but still strong and emotional

[jordonster]

@andyzoi I love Whitney Houston's voice, but her voice is not in any way better now than it was in the 80's. That's not because she's 50, it's because she ruined her voice with smoking and drugs. She's still strong and emotional in her way, but I still feel upset every time I see her on stage or hear her on the radio. She's just a shadow of what she used to be.

[andyzoi]

@jordonster I didn't say that she sounds like the 80's. I said she is a lot better than she was in 2010 tour. I will wait to hear her singing before i make my judgement. Besides her singing style even now in her present condition is without comparison.

[17aprjoh]

Merry Christmas!! I love your songs!

[bolder2009]

I wish she made a video for this song. 'One Wish' is so underated, but its one of her best albums. Even though she was passed her prime, her singing on the 'One Wish' album was out of this world.

[EBrozek98]

soo Good :)

[Songwrite3000]

she is amazing!

[5andra1987]

I kind of miss chrismas now when I hear this song :)

[Drake9016]

[FeriIsman]

i love this song... and i hope can sing it on America and all of nation... God Bless you Whitney Houston.. ;)

[DaOrigTruthSeeker]

@visiocomb: Take your attention seeking ass to sleep. How many cds have you sold? As far as ho's go.....please keep your mother track record in mind before you throw stones. Maybe one day your mother will get some morals and tell who your real father is. When you sell over 200 million cds then you can talk bad about WH....until then,take your lonely,rejected,unhappy,under achieving ass somewhere and relax. I know for all WH faults your broke down ass would trade places with her in a second.

[ateriw12]

Whitney Whitney, mmmmm this woman is blessed. no matter her mess ups. her ups her downs. I still believe she will rise. and grace the world one more time with

[LANORDA9]

@visiocomb And I bet you're a christian on sunday. Lol. Stop the negativity.

[MemphisFinest05]

@visiocomb You know what it's ignorant ass people like you that get on my nerve. If you don't like the fucking song then don't listen to it. This song is very beautiful. I don't know nobody else that can turn a fucking regular Christmas song around and just make it the bomb like this. Stop being so negative. She is the most awarded artist of all time for a female. If you don't like the fucking song then don't listen . THIS IS FOR EVERYBODY THAT GOT SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY GET A FUCKING LIFE!!

[vonderbees]

Whitney - Hmmm how smooth you sound.

[dollladie]

Lovely.

[gaylolful]

I think this is the best version of this song.....just the best christmas version of a song period FOR ME...I don't want to hear any stupid comments...

[orangejuicejohnny]

This Sistah can truly sing!!! That is in evidence at 1:55 in the song!!! What a voice, what a God-given talent!!! And the fact that she has chosen to share her talent with the world has blessed us all!!!

Two other youtube holiday songs to check out:

The Christmas Song by Al Jarreau...Al at his very best...

And: The Spirit of Christmas by John Starley Allen...never heard this song till this year...it's my FAVORITE new holiday song!!!

Peace and Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas Whitney!

[sappy1214]

Beautiful

[magicbee2]

this song remindes me of christmas

[wolt1997]

[PrincessBootilicious]

what about happy Ramadan or Happy Eid? i feel left out Whitney!

[krynlvysng]

@PrincessBootilicious just because she sings christmas song, doesnt mean she leave anybody out.

[woah455]

@PrincessBootilicious Ramadan is not in December...

[1980aprilw]

I LOVE THIS LADY AND THE WAY SHE SINGS THIS SONG.THE BEST

[archie19151]

Really like the arrangement of this song.

[Roberto33131]

gr8

[gozgaz1]

people stop making christmas song since when?

[theSandra1959]

Yes Indeed! your still my GIRL WHITNEY,And I love you. Merry Christmas Whitney.

[ThePharaoho]

She incorpoates gospel, blues, and jazz swoops in the song. It gives the song so much more personality then just being a Christmas song. It's just amazing.

[633390]

and she killed that

[Den12tribe]

My beautiful angel Whitney....I love her so very much.....December 4th, 2010....Whitney, you are loved and screw the negative shit.....you are beautiful!!!!

[celebrity19812004]

her voice is awful in this song...just my opinion.

[633390]

@celebrity19812004 and its a horrible opinion

[celebrity19812004]

@633390 according to you. i love this country. you can agree and disagree. lets just agree to disagree. I love whitney, but this wasn't one of my faves.

[633390]

@celebrity19812004 nope

[YaNStr]

i like this very....................

[rosebabes100]

beautiful !

[1Dgriff]

Who r these 7 retards that don't like her version of this song..someone must be tone deaf and I know with out a doubt it isn't me

[alliesaurousrex]

What key does she sing this in?

[majesticglaze]

@alliesaurousrex I'm not quite sure but it sounds like F# minor

[IvailoNS]

I love Whitney 

[7newnew]

[MsFanmail]

[jimzzz1]

merry christmas from indonesia ^_^

[kalaion]

vaffanculooooooooooooooooooooo­ooo



[Kv4dem]

can anyone give me the chords for dat song. its so moving but in her version

[tiljazz]

This arrangement is too wild.

[vivianaherrera17]

Whitney Houston is the proof that people do know how to sing. She has one of the best voices in history.

[nickyaguilera]

@vivianaherrera17 you're such an asshole, shouldn't even dare to say that bullshit!!!.Christina Aguilera's version IS MILES AWAY BETTER and she's therefore the absolutely undeniable living proof that a WHITE can be BETTER BY FAR than such a poor, limited BLACK voice as WHITNEY'S.This version is AWFUL, disgusting.She certainly lacks vocal ressources, and her notes are quite boring AS USUAL.Christina's version, again, is the most absolutely sublime living proof she's THE BEST VOICE OF ALL.

[angelben1122]

@nickyaguilera You are a pure fool is say that and i guess your still under age cause you don't know what music is talk about, all you know is to open your mouth and talk trash. Take your racist somewhere else not here. I hate to hear or read from people like you. SMH!!!!

[RikoIsHere]

@nickyaguilera If miss X tina heard you representing her in such a negative manner you'd look a fool.

[audreyxlove13]

@nickyaguilera shut the fuck up and sont compare Christina with Whitney then Christina is a Slut that shakes her ass at the camera and Whitneys voice hase soul and class !

[kwichita2]

@audreyxlove13 Christina can hang with Whitney, and I love Whitney, but have you heard her lately? no comparison.

[diavolo111]

crack changed her so much...its a pitty

[girlmusician24]

@diavolo111 That's ok God's going to deliver her from crack permanently one day.

[MsTakya]

1:23

[utterbullspit]

They did way too much with this song.

[ilovetheosmonds]

shes good, but nat king cole sings it better

[CboogieLove]

i am soooo in the Christmas moood!

[Doing2009]

86 more days to go, christmas is coming . ho ho ho !

[ChristmasEveryday19]

@Doing2009 LOL yup can't wait.

[thesinger]

1:58 sound like it was mixed voice...cuz she had lost alot of her upperchest belt...u can hear a lot of rasp thru this album and a lot of thin notes when she goes high!! like at 1:58

[marchelle011]

Gotta love it. Even if you dont celebrate. I love her voice. Im ready for Xmas now and my bday

[mikaelia0724]

Omg she KILLED that scatting part!!!!! ive never heard that on this song before. Loved it!

[plezou]

toni braxton's version is much better then whitney's.

[gaylolful]

@plezou lol yeah right...I wouldn't have said anything if you just said better but you said much better...keep dreaming....

[luismendoza7267]

beautiful voice i like this song it so cool and wow 

[kmaur21]

1:59 that high belt don't make no sense. Girl got the most powerful soprano ever. She don't try have the time. Listen to how powerful her soprano is! It so rich!

[dede12397]

[dazzles56]

She was a coke head.....we all make mistakes in life and go through rough patches...the thing is to make it through it and that she has done

[jeffro1234567891]

beautiful

[titopr1212]

she sounds like crap lol

[travien2002]

your just madd because the only time you can hit a high note is when your getting F??ked in the AZZ

[kmaur21]

Why didn't Arista include Do you hear what I hear as a bonus song put the live rendition Jay Leno. I don't know what is wrong with her label for real. That would have made more people buy her album. Plus, I know she done more rare Christmas performances out there.

[bowiehs]

what are you serious? i guess some people don`t get the hype lol, she sounds amazing to me.

[kmaur21]

Thank you! She sounds brillant vocally. Listen to those runs, and riffs. People don't know could sangin if it stood right in their face.

[bowiehs]

I agree, she tore that song up, some people are just so envious, they don`t know talent!

[kmaur21]

Thats the thing with Whitney. Whitney has some fans who are such perfectionist. If she does not sound like an angel all the time she can't sing. Its not fair to her or her talent.

[bowiehs]

Yes that is so true, not every singer sounds good 100% every time. sometimes your voice is weak, it should`nt underestimate your talent.

[clarelulu1]

i love this, merry christmas everyone x

[hawtoo]

Whitney Go Girl!! Beautiful Voice!

and tho i m lookin for more of an upbeat...

[tengwan58]

I agree

[mariewilder]

My goodness.....no one sings like WHITNEY!! Soulful, strong, heartfelt, gives you goose bumps listening to her voice 1:58 gives you chills.

[SunflowerAim]

You got that right. Goodness. :)

[kmaur21]

Nippy be sangin for real. Listen to this heffa do the runs,and riffs up and down the scale. She definitely learn from Ree and her Momma and many others girl can Blow!

[chuckierocks290]

she has the voice back then but she doesnt has it like she used to

[jordaymom]

My absolute favorite Christmas CD! I just learned this song and I'm gonna post a vid of me singing it. Can't do it like Whitney but I'll do my best :)

[lafebbraforever]

Solo i più grandi interpreti per questa canzone... ascoltate anche quella dell'italianissimo Matteo Becucci: nulla da togliere in classe e potenza!

[sanyafan1]

then if christ was never born I don't think christmas would ever exist u see in man's eyes it's all about the present and what i found out is that it is better to give than to recieve

[ranniqua2]

whats the real name of this song

[briofthed]

that is the real name of the song....."The Christmas Song" originally song by Nat King Cole

[YH8T]

@ranniqua2 The christmas song (Chestnuts roasting)

[LadiUneek]

This WHOLE album is off the chain. Whitney outdid herself on this one. I love it so much, I listen to it every day all day!

[angellamccoy10]

ALL I CAN SAY IS SHE RODE THIS SONG

[Choclongleggz]

its really not about the presents and things, its about the love of Jesus! People need to get over all the differences, since everyone does look up to the sky and call the name of their SAVIOR! be blessed and quit stressing!

[ACEISWILDdotCOM]

Drugs or NOT! She Did Her ThING! Thats how you do it!

[pannoni1]

TOO POLITICALLY CORRECT! When you're celebrating with an all-Christmas family, the Chanukah/Kwanzaa at the end really saps away the real soul of Christmas! That's why this year's GAP commercial is getting bad press from the pro-Christmas crowd this year!

[pannoni1]

When the song is entitled the CHRISTMAS song and you sing about non-Christian holidays in it, it really defeats the message of what we're celebrating! I've noticed Whitney is a very left Christian when looking at other interviews (notice the holiday heavy usage on the older shows). Whitney can have her best vocal ever here, but the PC stuff just ruins it!

[alext105]

Erm...Christmas is not even a CHRISTIAN holiday...lmao....get ur facts str8 and research it b4..it suppose to be the birth of christ...its not.....research where it originated...you'll see most of the activities, christmas tree, gifts etc all derived from pagan religions and was adopted by Britain.....plz stop taking things for granted and believing what you were told.....Read a book!!!! All religions celebrate xmas...Im a non chrtistian and I clebebrate xmas..its NOT just for christians

[alext105]

And if you feel "you sing about non-Christian holidays in it, it really defeats the message of what we're celebrating!" i would love to know what message is that? If you believe that then i feel sooo sorry for you as you have lost the entire essence and concept of Christmas dear child!!

[Choclongleggz]

politically correct? if they only knew.... the worst of all evil is politics... either you are or youre not!

[glamorizedmC]

wow what a beautiful voice! too bad crack ruined it :/ god bless u whit!

[kmaur21]

This woman was born to sing!

[LaFinlay]

I so agree with you! She put the vocals down on this song!

[SteelersGirl1985]

beautiful voice!
