Jesus, my friend! That´s because the original is a famous german song Oh, Tannenbaum. Most of the traditional songs like Oh,Holy Night; Silent Night, Ave Maria are european originals. You americans are like children sometimes, you think the World began in the year of1900. The same with Aretha´s inaugaration song for Obama, the original is England´s God Save the Queen. I love you folks anyway,,,but study history.
I am being white, just can't stop adoring you'all!!! Let's rock "n Roll ! I am not catholic, not even that religious, (you know buddhism is not a religion) but the way you praise your Lord, is outstanding!!!! amazing stuff!!!!
Our Lord can be 'your' Lord...if you enjoy the Black Church experience, the Black Church would be a good place to learn about God in Christ. Black worship is an experiencial (sp) worship that comes from Africa, Slavery, to Freedom...and daily life. Just give it a try and see what happens.
. Did you know music started out with the first syllables of certain songs extending up to 10 minutes? Just the first few syllables! We live in times where we are being entertained and informed via glitz and quick-paced entertainment. Have people lost the ability to slow down and listen to the creativity of a singer with a song? Shame on you for hating on something because it's of a different tune. I found new magic in this song when Aretha sang it.
To our queen, I hope you read this comment. You are a preacher. God did this for you. Minister Franklin, your baby son also has a calling on his life to pastor a church.
I like her intro to go tell it but not the sound mix once the choir came in. I've seen her perform O Christmas Tree in person and it's a boring song and even Ree can't seem to put a fire under it.
Hey, I am all ready for an Aretha Christmas Spiritual cd (like the songs on Odettas)! Have you seen the Billy/Aretha duets on O Holy Night and Auld Lang Syne?
my teacher played percussion with her, he said it was awesome and that she is an incredible musician to perform with and that her piano playing is amazing
This makes me want to put up my christmas tree in August. Aretha's voice is not only a national treasure she is too!!!!! does'nt she look spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!
President Clinton had a very deep appreciation for Aretha Franklin's artistry and on numerous occasions she was invited to entertain the President and his family and friends. Never did Aretha fail to perform grandly!!!
that was the most soulful version of the song ive heard

Absolutely abismal. Her singing was terrible, and she messed with the tune, stressed the wrong words, and just killed it. 0 stars.

Aretha reminds me of Mahalia Jackson.
