No one's probably gonna read this, but I’ll say it anyway cuz I feel at least 1 person will. I'm a young designer and graffiti artist, I know there's a million out there but I feel like my art has a unique individual style.
If you just take a min and give me a chance I'll make you a believer. I would love nothing more than to have a loyal following on youtube. If anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" others will see it. Just a simple button push will make a huge difference.
@HerLabyrinth Haha -- it's ok! I'm sure that was an awesome show, I didn't start going to see them until 1992. VERY jealous you were there to see them on that tour!!!!
its July and I'm listening to christmas songs??? IDEA: take out christmas and put in any random word and therefore we have a song that can be marketed and play year-round
My favourite Christmas song, this version is much better than Darlene's original, it sounds fresh after 22 years, Darlene's sounds so out of fashion in that 80's American tradition of girls shouting their songs instead of singing them.
The first ever Ronnie Spector Darlene Love A Christmas Gift For You live concerts-Dec 11 Parilla Pac Montgomery College Rockville MD and Dec 17 The count Basie Theatre Red Bank NJ.
I love both versions. Bono sings with some real heartache in his voice. it's a more stripped down version than Love's on Letterman. I absolultely love both; my favorite Xmas song

Wow, compared to Darlene Love on Letterman, with an orchestra and band that match the Wall of Sound that Phil Spector created, this version just - stinks. I mean, I love the song - but come on. Leave it to the pros.
Darlene Love version is superior in every way.

I'm a big fan of Darlene Love's original but i can really appreciate this version .
They not ruined it and made a rocking version of it and it also sounds great.
That's why i gave them also 5 stars.
