THIS SONG IS SO TOUCHING B/C THIS IS MY CHRISTMAS WISH FOR THE WORLD....I HAVE BEEN WISHING THIS YEAR AFTER YEAR...AMD I WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP WISHING AND PRAYING FOR EVERYONE...
I WISH CHRISTMAS COULD BE EVERYDAY...AND EVERYONES NEEDS GET MET!....I BELIEVE.... :D
Sorry, but no way that Charice sang this better than Natalie Cole. Charice is a really good singer, but no friggin way that her version is better ;) Natalie's version is more emotional..she puts more meaning to it.
Best versions are from Natalie Cole and Michael Buble.
Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!
yo tambien soy fan de charice , pero no deberiamos de comparar tanto a charice y a natalie porque cada una de ellas tiene su propio estilo , en ambos casos las interpretaciones son muy bellas
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. In this time that we live in with the recession and all, this song and all of its lyrics are so powerful. I love this version, but I do like all the different versions out there.
i absolutely adore the version of this song with Natalie Cole and David Foster,it's beautiful! gets me teary eyed around this time of the year.i also like Michael Buble's rendition of it.i think the correct lyrics are the ones Natalie sings.merry Christmas to everyone(especially to our men and women from every country fighting the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and a blessed new years to all.let's hope for peace!
I refuse to listen to anyone else sing this but Natalie and David........she is the only one who can bring me to tears on this each and every time I hear it. Simple and not overdone. Splendid.
@Renley1 I am not comparing and I can tell you that I am a huge Natalie Cole fan, huge!!!! I love her and her life story, but I must rank Kelly Clarksons version with this, sorry......
@Renley1 I've listened to all the other editions and by far, this is the best. Natalie has such great diction. The level of emotion injected into the song by Natalie really pulls at your heart. You've got to be stone cold dead to not be touched by the words in this song.
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I have heard it by several artists and I enjoyed them all. The meaning is right on today and it will always will be. I'm off now to listen to another artist sing this great song.
TO ALL CHARICE'S FANS...WE ALL KNOW THAT CHARICE IS A GREAT ARTIST..BUT PLEASE DON'T COMPARE HER TO OTHER ARTISTS. IT'S NOT HEALTHY AND IT DOESN'T HELP CHARICE'S CAREER AT ALL. JUST ENJOY HER MUSIC AND APPRECIATE OTHER'S TALENT AS WELL. PEACE TO EVERYONE!
I don't know but whenever Charice sings cover songs..fans can't help it but to compare Charice to originals. This is Charice's magic! She gives justice to every song she sings.
NATALIE COLE FIRST RECORDED THIS SONG IN 1991. ITS NOW BECOMING WHO HAS NOT SANG IT SINCE. NATALIE PLEASE TAKE BACK YOUR SONG- GIVE YOUR DADDY BACK HIS SONG AND CLAIM YOUR OWN.
Man, Natalie Cole in classic form. I would put this up there with Amy Grant's recording, the very first version I came across years back.
I hope people would listen closely to this song. It is written from a "grown up's" perspective. While Clay Aiken, Kelly Clarkson, and Charice might do good versions of this song, I am more moved by the quiet maturity of the older singers.
Those who argue about whose version is better is DEFINITELY missing the point of this song.
it dosent matter who sang it best they both did wounderfuly at singing and this song they both would not want to be faught over some times in life you just have to settel have you even listened to the lyrics wars would never start this may not be a war but your fighting and having a verbal war its christmas time its not time to be fghting its time to be celebrating with family and friends so please stop im asking you kindly to be supportive of both singers and how they sung there song
charice has a beautiful voice and make beautiful runs but she doesn't come close the delivering the depth and control as a lyricist of a Natalie Cole. Natalie's version tells such a believable story, every year a new crop of singers attempt to retell it. My only regret is how Natalie has allowed this song to be hijacked by so many different artist not giving her credit for recording the stirring phrasing every singer is still in search of.
Natalie has certainly done her father the Great Nat King Cole justice. I and my whole family loved his voice. I am so happy to say that she is just as talented as her beloved dad Nat. Merry Xmas to all!
There are always going to be multiply versions of any song, I chose this version because it is the one my local radio station plays, therefore the one I know. I'm sure it's different all around the US. Let's all just celebrate the holidays & be happy!
This is exactly what I am saying. Charice fans are always into petty fights, comparing and making trash of other American Icon singers the likes of Whitney and now Natalie Cole. You people must STOP THIS BASHING. It just goes to show how ignorant and narrow-minded you are. We, Americans will not tolerate this cut-throat tactics from small people with small brains. YouTube are watching people like you.
My, my lovelysoul... such strong words... We, Americans... small people... small brains. I think you just earned a lump of coal from Santa.
While I have to agree that so many fans tend to be overly emotional and passionate over their "idol" (Get a life, you guys!) But I would not lump this into a "We, Americans" issue.
Great original version by Sir David and Natalie Cole. David Foster and his wife at the time (1992) wrote this wonderful song. So many great singers have covered this since. Amy Grant in1994 had a hit with it. Michael Buble's also sold very well and Charice just released the lastest version a couple weeks ago. All beautiful to me!
When i think about this song during Christmas, I think about Natalie Cole's version. I think so many people like her version because the purity and innocence of her voice captures the essence and meaning of the song.
this song always brings me to tears...for all the promise and all the disappointment in life...yet somoehwere....hope lives. peace to all and may all the love and joy of this season live on everyday in our hearts. luv 2 all!! merry christmas!
Amy Grant's version is WEAK LAME and Pathetic. She's the most overrated "singer" ever! Her voice is extremely weak and just plain BLAH. This is the BEST version.
@dima9944 dont be stubborn.. oh please.. im an asian and for a fact i know that's japanese.. hayzzzzzzz.. if ur wrong just admit it.. there's no harm in saying "oh it's japanese, my fault"
The best version of this song to date is Charice's. David F. made a very good arrangement for Charice which highlighted the softness and the power of Charice's voice.
I'm a huge fan of Charice but to all the other fans who are arguing that Charice's version is the best... you guys should stop and realize that you're ruining the meaning of this song... this song is filled with meaningful messages but instead of applying that in our lives this Christmas season... we are arguing instead of what version is the best... Grown up Christmas List... please pay attention to the meaningful lyrics...
This is a great song but only now emerging in public recognition and awareness as a Christmas classic. So it's natural for people to compare versions. This one is beautiful and very "Natalie". Charice's version is stunning; you can listen to it over and over and not get tired of it. .Natalie Cole and Charice just traveled and sang together on David Foster's Asian tour. Natalie is a friend and mentor to Charice. Two immense and complementary talents with very different life stories.
OMG Charice fans are invading videos of whoever sang this song. STOP COMPARING please !!! This is now a classical Christmas song and it's not all about this cheap showdown.
I love this original version, Amy Grant's and Charice's. Though Kelly has an excellent voice - her version is too divaish ( too many runs) for me. I think this is how David F. intended this song to be sung poignant, soulful and stirring. He made Charice's version have riffs and belting. But it was just enough as not to take away from the beauty of the song's melody. Just love it! And this is just my own honest 2 cents...
Hands down THE best version of this song. I have this on an old Christmas cd of mine and it sounds different from this. On my cd the music is much fuller and the keyboard doesn't sound cheesy. Also there is no male vocals. It is my all time favorite Christmas song. Itunes may have the version that I have and it is HIGHLY recommended.
My God! Charice live performance tonight was a Enchanting and so beautiful and very touchy! Natalie Morales ( the host anchor of the show) said she is a Star!!! Who could sing like that? What a beautiful powerful and yet so sweet!! Voice!! Yes she is the Star!!! I can't disagree on that with all the performers who did a good performance , Charice's was great! And superb!!
I am so thankful that I know her and her family and able to meet David Foster in person. Thanks to all Chasters who went a
I love David Foster and his songs, I love Natalie Cole and I love Charice! I love this song... I first heard it when Charice sang it in Citadel, and now I have her mini xmas album from iTunes! I love this version and Charice's version - both produced by DF! :)
This song was recorded in 1990 for David Fosters album with Natalie Cole. It was recorded 1n 1992 by Amy Grant in which she altered some lyrics and added an additional verse penned by Amy. Therefore THIS is the original version which was not a huge hit at the time. Amys version is most recognized however, I prefer Natalies version. Much more touching to me and by the way, this is my FAVORITE Christmas song
@EfdUpPrdctnz I think you're wrong.. the orginal version is Amy Grant's.. she is an alto. I like Natalie's too it's very beautiful. But I think there's no need for a higher key on this song, because the message is already powerful.
@brew50 I love her version of this also I love everything she has put out I love her father also! It's Ironic They are both before there time! I am only sixteen
I agree with the people that think this is the best version of this song. The studio album version by B.J. Thomas is also awfully good, however, and so is the rendition by Jane Monheit.
I don't care what anyone says...I believe she was the first to do this song...and this is DEFINITELY THE BEST VERSION OF THE SONG. No one has even come close to the classy rendition of Ms. Cole and David Foster's version of this song. Not Amy Grant, not Kelly Clarkson...NO ONE.
@brew50 Natalie Cole was the FIRST to sing THIS version of the song, which was originally written by David Foster and his then-wife Linda Thompson (Brody Jenner's mother) for David's non-holiday album released in 1990. Amy Grant took the song and altered the lyrics and recorded it and released it in 1992 and THEN the song became a 'hit' and more widely known.
@brew50: You are correct. The 1990 David Foster/Natalie Cole version was the very first recorded version of the song (though I believe the version in the video clip is from a 1993 TV special). I also agree it is the best version of the song...way better than Kelly Clarkson's 2003 version...that's for sure! But check out Aretha Franklin's version. She put a new twist on it in her own style.
@brew50: Per my last comment, I looked back on some of my older comments to this video. Someone else told me a year or two ago that this video clip is from a 1989 holiday television special in Japan. It would then make sense that the pair first recorded the studio version of the song around the time of this TV special, which then went onto David Fosters's 1990 album "River of Love".
@brew50 Are you really sure this is the best version of GUCL you ever heard & no
one has ever been close to this? Are you kidding? Did you ever check all the other
singers who have sung this song including Charice?I've been listening to other
singers who sang this song & I'll tell you straight right now that Charice's version ex-
ceeds all from those. Charice's version has emotions w/c really hit deeply into your heart !! Just listen to it & you can really feel the magic of it(fr. Charice).

Yep, this is the original version (1990). Amy Grant recorded her version in 1992.

This song was recorded in 1990 for David Fosters album with Natalie Cole. It was recorded 1n 1992 by Amy Grant in which she altered some lyrics and added an additional verse penned by Amy. Therefore THIS is the original version which was not a huge hit at the time. Amys version is most recognized however, I prefer Natalies version. Much more touching to me and by the way, this is my FAVORITE Christmas song

@EfdUpPrdctnz I think you're wrong.. the orginal version is Amy Grant's.. she is an alto. I like Natalie's too it's very beautiful. But I think there's no need for a higher key on this song, because the message is already powerful.

I agree with the people that think this is the best version of this song. The studio album version by B.J. Thomas is also awfully good, however, and so is the rendition by Jane Monheit.

This woman is in a class by herself along with Gladys Knight and M. McCoo from the 5th Dimmension. They put Amy Grant to shame.
dmmurillo100 2 years ago 2
I don't care what anyone says...I believe she was the first to do this song...and this is DEFINITELY THE BEST VERSION OF THE SONG. No one has even come close to the classy rendition of Ms. Cole and David Foster's version of this song. Not Amy Grant, not Kelly Clarkson...NO ONE.

@brew50 Natalie Cole was the FIRST to sing THIS version of the song, which was originally written by David Foster and his then-wife Linda Thompson (Brody Jenner's mother) for David's non-holiday album released in 1990. Amy Grant took the song and altered the lyrics and recorded it and released it in 1992 and THEN the song became a 'hit' and more widely known.

@brew50: You are correct. The 1990 David Foster/Natalie Cole version was the very first recorded version of the song (though I believe the version in the video clip is from a 1993 TV special). I also agree it is the best version of the song...way better than Kelly Clarkson's 2003 version...that's for sure! But check out Aretha Franklin's version. She put a new twist on it in her own style.

@brew50: Per my last comment, I looked back on some of my older comments to this video. Someone else told me a year or two ago that this video clip is from a 1989 holiday television special in Japan. It would then make sense that the pair first recorded the studio version of the song around the time of this TV special, which then went onto David Fosters's 1990 album "River of Love".

@brew50 I just found the new BEST version of this song sang by Charice... Check out her version Tree Lighting at Rockafellar Square 2010

@brew50 Are you really sure this is the best version of GUCL you ever heard & no
one has ever been close to this? Are you kidding? Did you ever check all the other
singers who have sung this song including Charice?I've been listening to other
singers who sang this song & I'll tell you straight right now that Charice's version ex-
ceeds all from those. Charice's version has emotions w/c really hit deeply into your heart !! Just listen to it & you can really feel the magic of it(fr. Charice).
