  • her accent is so classy Ms Hill!

  • rolling stone article you know if you are smart what i mean,,,,,,,,,,,, jesus lol, lauren

  • ya right lol she is so totally like for rights of all lol

  • the person speaking at the start sounds like ellen degeneres... ha fucking ha

  • @CUTE1352 More like Rosie

  • I like Lauryn Hill's sound. This is right along her line of creativity. Merry Christmas to Lauryn and Zion, Lauryn is still our original fly-highness.

  • @piiweri me fucking off won't make this sound any less like a sack of shit

  • @cushe83 gladly. It would sound a hell of a lot better than this shit.

  • @imeighteendammit fuck off

  • LOLOL @ Rosie

  • This sucks so hard it blows!

  • @imeighteendammit She murdered it, the most unoriginal of all the artist with any kind of decent voice(miss lauren hill).

  • @imeighteendammit

    so take your ass to kathy lee gifford sings the christmas classics

  • UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGggggggggggggggg­ggggggggggggggg!!!

    

  • Can anyone spell anymore?

  • This isnt the L-Boogie I know. This is not very good

  • @bmoreed

    you dont know l boogie, then

  • @cushe83 I disagree. This is oneof my favorite singers. I have been listening to her since the first Fugees album. I think the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was one of the greatest albums ever and I still listen to it almost everyday. So my friend I do know L Boogie. This version of this song is just not very good.

  • @bmoreed

    exactley, and this sounds like somethign derrivative of that era .

  • @cushe83 This may have come from that era from the first album. That may explain why it sounds so different from her other music. This is the only song that I've ever heard from her that I really didn't like. I still love her.

  • Anyone who hates on this a staight hater!

  • powerful

  • Her voice leaves me moist and wanting

  • love her hair best hair in the world

  • @jumpingonglass I agree, awesone originality on this siong too! Welld one!!!

  • Thats not Lauryn at the beginning.. no way..

    

  • @kazeezee Right, it's not. it's Rosie O'Donnell...

  • @kazeezee Its Rosie O'Donnell coz this song is from a Rosie O'Donnell Christmas album :).. such a beautiful song

  • @kazeezee it sounds like Rosie O'Donnell

  • @kazeezee It sounds like Rosie O'Donnell talking at the beginning.

  • @ethiochamp @jlskura its Rosie O' Donnell

  • who was that at the begginging if u know please reply

  • @ethiochamp That's Lauryn Hill at the begining. That's how she sounds now. Like a robot.

  • @no that definatly wasnt lauryn ive heard her voice now and that wasnt her

  • @jlskura actually that wasn't her at the beginning it was Rosie O' Donnell(she was speaking first) and then Lauryn's beautiful voice came in.

  • @MultiBullet18 I believe that. That does sound like her.

  • Comment removed

  • TEARS IN MY EYES.

  • The BEST rendition I've ever heard!!!!

  • @lazymoon24 for real this just shows she was meant to sing and entertain us

  • Being a musician i buck tradtion in the sense of "copycatting" even at church i never liked pplaying and practicing music exactly like the cd. I have to express myself as God give to feeling of music within. I never play anything the same twice. BE ORIGINAL AND CREATIVE! :)

  • I was so excited. this is my favorite christmas song and i love her voice so deeply but i really wish she had done it classically. but then again that isnt her style. lol

  • Didn't think I would like this and was totally prepared not to but it does sound pretty good.

  • pa rump pa pum pum

  • i like this song better with the pics in da video den blank screen lmao

  • I am dissapointed in this version... I love lauren hill and love her voice.... maybe this was just over produced... needs less drum machine ... lover levels of background music and raised levels on her voice...

  • @SubGeniusX I don't think this song was produced with carefulness of other music by Lauryn Hill. It was probably put together just for Christmas. It was clearly meant to sound like the Hip Hop version of a Stevie Wonder song, hence the million and one live instruments.

  • ALL I WANT TO SAY IS.....BIG UP'S TO ALL MY HATERZZZZZ!!!!! LMFAO!!!!

  • @cupofcocoabeankisses.... No I am not 15. its not my fault you cant handle a strong opinionated woman. This is all my opinion and how i feel. Dont like it then dont respond. Because I will respond back until you stfu. Haha you actually think im picking a fight on the damn internet? Umm nooooo. This is my Attitude and if you cant handle it then i suggest you dont respond to any of my post. Thank you and have a great night

  • @lolaluv261 SMH

  • @ProstigeWorldwide ... Do you SMFH

  • @lolaluv261 ?... smh (shaking my head) at you

  • AND FOR THE RECORD I LOVE LAURYN HILL AND SOME OF HER MUSIC. BUT THIS PARTICULAR SONG SUCKS TO ME. IM NOT FEELING IT. WHATS FUNNY THO IS THE FACT HOW YOU ALL CAN JUMP ON MY BACK ABOUT MY OWN OPINIONS AND HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SONG. MAYBE IF YOU SPENT MORE TIME MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS YOU WOULND'T HAVE TIME TO WORRY ABOUT HOW I FEEL. SMFH!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Lauryn Hill is just too deep for some listeners. I love her style because she is herself (unique) and amazing artist. When is a new album coming out? Where is she today? Don't know.

  • @Mrs002shameka she is fighting illuminati today with her lyrics,,

    she has a new album but the recordcompanys dont suport her..

    But you can find songs like "ill get out" poem motivs and thoughts and outher anti illuminati stuff on utube..

  • @tissetatten I hope someone supports her soon because she is one of a kind. I still have mostly all of her greatest hits.

  • I thought this picture was Tarzans lost Cheetah swinging on the tree looking for bananas or be tamed to do a every which way you loose ponder.

    The vocals on this song sounds like Bob Marley just woke up and looked out the window and saw Shrek doing a hula dance.

  • AARRGHHH ! CAN NOY UNHEAR THIS --------------WARNING PAINFULL

  • LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! MAN WTF IS THIS???? THIS WOMAN COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED THIS SONG!!!!! I FELT LIKE GUIDING ACROSS THE FLOOR A FEW TIMES DANCING LIKE THE JACKSON 5's!!!! SHE DONT MAKE THIS FEEL LIKE X-MAS....FEELS MORE LIKE A JACKSON SAMPLE OF SOME SHIT FROM WAY BACK WHEN! NOW IF YOU WANNA HEAR A SMOOTH, MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL VERSION OF THIS SONG...TYPE IN ...ALICIA KEYS (DRUMMER BOY)...NOW SHE HAS THE SPIRIT OF X-MAS. LAUREN HILL HAD THE SPIRIT OF THE 70'S IN THIS SONG. ROFL!!

  • @lolaluv261 lmao@gliding across the floor...like the jackson 5. it's lauren 100%. all soul, all depth, 24/7. it's her style. you gotta go with it or shut it off. 

  • @cupofcocoabeankisses....I dont care who it is....this is not X-mas spirit. This shit is depressing. yes she's a great artist. But damn she fucked this song up...and i dont mean in a good way!!!! And since i choose not to shut off the song I choose to tell you to STFU!!! As you can see mostly every1 agree this song fuckn sucks. And so does you. Thanks sweetie and have a nice day. (ps) Dont bother to respond back your remaining comments dont matter cause ive already responded once. Thanks. :-)

  • @lolaluv261 how can one define Christmas spirit? Lauryn is singing this song based on her style & what she feels from the heart & what Christmas is all about. No one has disrespected you in any manner of the sort & would'nt have been wise for you to respond in that same manner? Look at the end you'll feel how you feel but don't try to shut someone else down when you have no foundation to stand on yourself!

  • @NALESSEY..ONCE AGAIN I DONT LIKE THE SONG. WHO THE FU*K R U 2 TELL ME HOW 2 RESPOND. I WASNT EVEN TALKING 2 U. FIRST OFF IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON ON HERE FEELING THIS SONG IS TOTALLY JACKED UP...(FU*KED UP). THIS IS NOT MY WAY OF A NICE X-MAS SONG. THIS IS MY OPINION 4 ME SO WHY THE FUCK YALL BROADS RIDING MY SHIT. I DONT LIKE THE WAY SHE DEMOLISHED THE SONG. NOW GO FETCH A DOGGY BISCUIT ROLL OVER & PLAY DEAD OR JUST PLAY DEAD & DONT BOTHER TO RESPOND TO ANY OF MY POST. THANK U & HAVE A GOOD DAY!

  • @lolaluv261 All I asked you was a question but based on your choice of words proves to me your intellectual level of thinking & understanding. You have your opinion ok, but I know who am & if I choose to respond to someone of ignorance I am entitled to do that as well, which the comment section is for doing so. People can choose to agree to disagree but one is highly respected more based on their level of maturity in doing so. Think on that if you can. God Bless you!

  • @lolaluv261 wo. you must be like 15 and highly immature. my comment wasn't in any way derogatory or belittling towards you. i just meant that everyone has different styles. if you want to spend all your time and effort picking fights on youtube, i'll leave you to enjoy your free time. #grow up.

  • @cupofcocoabeankisses I toally agree with you hon. You can't explain Lauryn's style, lyrics, and or thoughts to someone of no depth in themselves example shown lolaluv261. I love how Lauryn took this song & made it her own totally different from what it's to be expected off.

  • i like lauryn hill but she sucks the christmas feeling out of this classic. :-(

  • D: Omg i don't like this version no offesne.

  • @ilovejpmetz1 oh yes, i agree. no christmas spirit at all.

  • She's wonderfl. But she should have kept herself to other songs. R.I.P Little Drummer Boy.

  • What happened to Lauryn Hill, that everyone is missing her??!! Did she die??? :(

  • @creole0607 She stopped putting music out. Everyone is missing her amazing voice blaring over the radio.

  • @mesammyp7

    Thank you for the answer, mesammyp7! I hoped it was something like that, but the 'R.I.P.' in the previous comment threw me for a loop. Now I realize it was 'famousmermaid's' way of expressing her disapproval of Lauren Hill's rendition of this song.

  • @creole0607 ?????????

  • never cared for the song till i heard lauryn's cover!

  • so nice

    

  • i wanna rap just like her

  • Rosie O Donnell?????????? WTF?

  • I LOVE THIS SONG .

  • i am ready for her to sing in another language.....!

  • miss u lauryn

  • me too...

  • Cant wait to see her at rock the bells!!!!

  • expected better, typical. Newer Stuff is Better!

    Love Her, This version RUINS her

  • @dylan80212 wateva

  • she's makin a new album!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @BALLlSLlFE is that honestly true?? OMG am so excited to hear that!! Love her voice soo much. Also she is a truely smart if not even wise woman. Great great lyrics. AAAHHH can`t wait!

  • alem de cantar muito lauryn é muito gata

  • yeah man

  • You might appreciate this video recorded in NYC on an independent music television show called Video Music Box. A bunch of NYC-based hip-hop artists (Lauryn Hill, Method Man, Jeru the Damaja, etc) got together to talk about police brutality in their neighborhoods with Crazy Sam.

    youtube.com/watch?v=tJEM8sIS0u­c

    It's inspiring to see such talented artists with real compassion and concern for what was going on in the community.

  • I love Lauryn Hill and her style. She inspires me to want to be a better singer. To put passion in what I do. I can only hope to make people hear the beauty I feel. Lauryn Hill I hope you come back. Your voice is gorgeous and so are you and your children. Much love.

  • i hate you beyonce , you copied lauryn hill . what a bitch beyonce is 

  • @cookie5730 how did beyonce copy her???

    but i do like lauryn aint no point of callin nobody out there name

  • Beautiful Black sistagurl!!! 

  • The King would be most enlightened and humbled in the presence of the little drummer boy. nicely done song....power with emotion.

  • I love Lauryn Hill

  • I totally disagree with whoever said Lauryn Hill is underrated she has set so many records and is a female rap legend.

  • Lauryn Hill, one of the few feminine women left.

  • uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh im soooooooo mad i did not know this was a christmas song mannnn. this reallyyyyy stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Me Encanta!!!!!!

  • lauryn is underrated u ignorant fool...

  • What Lauryn Hill told the Vatican

    From Jeremy Charles In Rome

    The London Mirror - December 16, 2003

    Google this article if you haven't already seen it...

  • OH when is she coming back

  • I love everything she does, and miss her severely.

  • @21hurtst severely, sigh...

  • @21hurtst So do I =(

  • Well you two have certainly sent this page down a dark and discussing path.

    Mr hater, you are a vile pos.

    D3zzy, good job, bitch!

    I have found a great number of versions that I enjoy and prefer much more than this one. However, this rendition would go very well on a CD coupled with with Blues or Jazz.

  • i agree with you meathead, Laurens an amazing artist but ive heard versions i like better. n people, cant we all just get along geez ! why so much hostility.

  • This is a wonderful, creative, soulful rendition of an originally wonderful song! Definitely beautifully redone!  Beautiful woman too.

  • I LIKE THIS VERSION

  • So are you saying all the other styles, such as rock and country are wrong as well? You may not agree with the style, but I don't think you should try to make it look like change is bad. I've heard this song in so many different styles besides this one, and personally I enjoy listening to everyone's creativity. But if you like the old-fashioned (which is also great to listen to) that's what you like, but I don't think u should make it sound like people are being disrespectful to the original

  • Conventions were meant to be broken.

  • I totally disagree with everyone, I think this version is so soulful and beautifully made. Go Lauryn

  • I like it. It's different but I like it and it has style and taste.lol

  • Lauryn Hill's voice is great! But what CRAP this version is!! it's not even the same song it's so messed wit...

  • it's like ska from outer space.....

  • @looker768 hehe yeaa;-D

  • Yes, this song has totally, extremely totally been reinvented...and it needed to be

  • oh how I miss her voice

  • What a joke. Talk about people today totally screwing up great songs.

    I am sorry, but this is not a good version at all.

  • You have no idea what you're talking about! She reinvented this song!

  • Lauren a her finest. She can't mess up a song. If she is singing "Old Mcdonald Had A Farm", she is going to put her spin on it and rock it! She's gifted. Can't take that from her. Only a true artist can take another person's song and make it theirs.

  • Worst version ever made.

    Utterly horrible

  • @YaikonMetal

    You WOULD think that, you retarded head-banger.

    PS Thrash metal SUCKS ASS

  • If you don't like this you're just not a Lauren Hill fan. Love Love Love it!!!!!

  • Completely agree because I think its fresh and the story comes together better with this interpretation.

  • When was this recorded?

  • I have to give it to her. If you are going to screw something up, screw it up Real good. Worst version EVER done, period. I don't know if I can ever play it again,,,

  • A couple other good versions of it:

    1. The legendary duet between Bing Crosby and David Bowie.

    2. A more modern version by the Contemporary Christians singer Jesse Daniels.

  • what's wrong with a little innovation? If you like Bob Seger, then go listen to Bob Seger. Some people enjoy some hip hop infused into the old stuff...smh

  • @jroseck

    Shut up, you racist, buck-toothed redneck. This song is amazing! I hate christmas music... but I LOVE this. It's like some groovy 70's Stevie Wonder song. A LOT better than that old-fashioned, emotionless garbage that came before it.

  • I love you Lauryn Hill, bless

  • Some talented people are just "difficult", not sure if it's because she's lost her mind or she just doesn't like the trappings of fame. She sure is talented. I did hear that one of the fugees said he will never work with her again.

  • she is still a beautiful dark skin sister... she just became christian.

  • @9minniemee3

    i know your comment is old, but i just thought id let u know shes not a christian. listen to her songs from mtv unplugged, she seems more of a free spiritual person. she even talks about not conforming to the "world church of decision."

  • @5656onelove5656 that doesnt mean she isnt a christian...she is, but religion seems to be run by man rather than God. when she talks about not comforming she means at the end of the day it needs to be you and God and no one else. Im a Christian but there so many ppl that say different things about God that its hard to know who is right. God would rather us be spiritual than religious because you cannot hide your sirit but there can be hypocrits in religion

  • @kiaros04 excellent response....i concur!

  • @kiaros04 Thats true!!Here in Portugal theres a priest who said "the church is made by men...and men do mistakes".Sorry about my english

  • @kiaros04

    i thought to be the only one with that opinion. :)

    thanks for sharing!

  • @kiaros04 so brilliantly put, wow!

  • @5656onelove5656 --we can be Christians and not follow religion. Christian means to be "Christlike" "religion was nothing more than mankinds attempt to make a business out of belief and doctrine is any religions spin on what God wanted. This is a FACT. As for Paul--he was a Saducee and taught the first Christians how to be Jews--instead of letting their belief and worship remain untainted--remember all the rules to Corinth? pulled straight from the Torah and other teachings of the Jews.

  • my only qualm is in the beginning when Rosie is speaking about God and what not. Come on let us get real, she does not believe in any such thing.

  • the song is bullshit but she looks sooo beautiful in those pics

  • big upon ms. hill, Jah Trinity, & de marley family tree

  • Never speaks with pride about herself. Was big in movies before she got big in music. Deal with facts before tabloids.

  • oh i get it, those are your friends so you prefer them, well thats cool, but why brings someone else down in the process? I dont understand.

  • Bandwagonist without the wheels.....U sucking their balls.....bout u calling someone moron....look it up and see how much it relates to u anus......

  • did she go hollywood? or does she represent the opposite of hollywood, help me understand, i thought hollywood and its tributary beliefs or the believe system it has created was one of the reasons we dont see her now, call me crazy

  • arrogant....she humble as hell and hollywood? she "Down to earth" in evry sense of the word dont hate on her dude until yu handle the things she has with her fame...pathetic.

  • Nonniemayrox...why you gon bring up Jesus name before calling someone a moron and pathetic? You draggin His name through the mud.

  • sorry to offend you but , its not judgment if its true. everyone i knoe in the industry whos worked with her will tell you the same. sorry again.

  • U sorry cause u couldnt get a ride on her back? thats y u love Heathcliff and Percy.did they give u a ride? how much they paying u to slander Lauryn and defame her character...Kno this she is blessed and Jesus loves her more for loving herself....

  • I love Lauryn too but i prefer Whitney's verison

  • it's spelled version...

  • You shouldn't boast about your own works and what all your doing...you should just do it because God desires for us to help others with a HUMBLE heart...

    but that is just my two cents

  • she's killed it
