Julie Andrews "Ding Dong Merrily on High" & "Some Children See Him" Christmas

[waldemarlopess]

What an extraordinary performance by the great, talented and forever beautiful Julie Andrews!

Her glorious voice soars high like that of an angel! Nobody has ever sung Christmas carols as beautifully as Dame Julie Andrews! What we hear in this video is definetely The Sound of Christmas! Congratulations, dear Julie, on this perfect, heartfelt rendition! Thank you for the joy you have brought to the world!

Why are all the white people in tuxes and the black people are in choir robes?

[AlexandreFilho1705]

it's nice to notice how her voice gets lower as time goes by. it was SO high in her teenage years, then it was absolutely flawless at her Broadway/movie star years, and here it's more grown up, less "coloratura soprano". she sounds almost like a mezzo. wonderful still. wish she could sing nowadays. I love Julie Andrews SO MUCH.

[02cscott]

This is real talent and what we should be listening to at christmas.

[waldemarlopess]

Julie Andrews' glorious voice is perfect and really is the sound of Christmas! Singing as beautifully as ever, she looks dazzling, elegant and radiant and performs brilliantly, thus touching our hearts with her art.

Beautiful

[killerbuster1]

Her voice sounds like it was sent from heaven. Until that fateful day in 1997 when she hade her operation witch destroyed her voice sent from heaven. DAME THODe DOCTORS THAT MADE HER VOICE DISAPPEAR.

[weathirly1234]

Was this before or after her vocal surgery?

[umdbabe]

@weathirly1234 This was before. He vocal surgery was in 1997.

[cilrogers]

Beautiful voice, lovely music!!

[friendswithbenefit22]

just when I thought it was impossible for me to love more Julie Andrews and Christmas.. I'm bursting with Christmas spirit and glee!! I LOVE JULIE ANDREWS!!! PERIOD!! :)

[tess1312]

Wonderful!

[MoeWesley]

The quintessential Christmas voice. Reminds me of the paintings from my childhood of a stable, palm trees, and a crystal star in a clear night sky. Thank you! (Where was this concert and why is it not televised annually???)

[showstartsatdusk]

[ScrapNfight]

Doesn't get more wonderful than this. Magnificent on many levels. Julie at her Christmas best

[equinegirl84321]

Her mannerisms are so lovely and quaint, she is a classy lady.

[deltaA320]

is she saying " in excelshies"?

[mimmar3891]

@deltaA320 It's spelled "in excelsis," and in Latin it means "in the highest." I believe -- although it's been a few years since I studied Latin -- that she is pronouncing it correctly.

I just love Julie Andrews so much.

[deltaA320]

w/e i'ma just go with my opinoin.

[ZombieFryingPan]

When ever i see her, i still see Mary Poppins!

[Cordi666]

Julie Andrews - Biggest Boss going

[cilrogers]

Wonderful music, great voice and lovely lady!!!

[oakgrasssib]

That little girl, Jackie Evancho recorded this song on her new X-mas CD, Heavenly Christmas. It's out 01 Nov, exclusively at Walmart. Jackie is often compared to Julie Andrews since both started young and both are very good. Jackie sound's like a 40 year old seasoned pro, but maintains the vocal purity of a child. Her tonal quality is buttery smooth with a beautiful slow controlled vibrato. Low notes out of this world and effortless soaring high notes.

[daniabates]

This is certainly a treasure!!!

[maleficentdiva]

the ultimate showdown, would be between Julie Andrews and Whitney Houston, COULD YOU IMAGINE!! I think Julie could take Whitney!

[virgosun1]

Magnificent. It doesn't get any better than this.



[11Misa11Italiano11]

One of my favourite Christmas carrols and one of my favourite singers.

How wonderful :)

[desidog1]

nothing like christmas in july

[ChronoGXay]

Let me make this quite known before I say what I intended to: I very much so like Julie Andrews voice, going back at least as far as her performance in Mary Poppins, and continue to be inspired by her talent. In this instance, however, when I heard her pronounce 'excelsis' in this song like 'ihks-CHEL-sihs' instead of 'ehks-shEHL-sees' (which, correct me if I'm wrong, is the correct way to pronounce it), my tongue caught in my throat; I've always been taught to pronounce it 'ehks-shehl-sees'.

[andreinagarban]

@ChronoGXay She's right on track. It has been always one of her trademarks: perfect diction. In Howjsay.com you can find the difference.

[Shamsithaca]

@ChronoGXay interesting catch! I thought about it too, and her christmas album she sings it as "inks-shell-sis" I believe in latin both can be said and both are correct. However, this one is more proper and she may have decided to change it to the more formal version since this is a prestigious event. However, only Ms. Andrews would really know why...!

[ChronoGXay]

@Shamsithaca - Is it? Well then, I certainly apologize! ^^"

[andreinagarban]

The whole beauty of Christmas in that gorgeous, sublime, perfect voice. Julie is indeed Christmas beauty! What an extraordinary rendition! Glorious!

[bourbakis]

Just love her voice and presence. What a gift to humanity!

[hateyou49]

I love her so much!!!! She can never die or I will die! 

[PossumGeorge]
