[SofiaBarnard]

[sassychik131]

MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[keepingitreal15]

Ruben you sounded good on this not to be mean but anybody (unless they can't sing all thogether) can sound good on this track. Ruben I am not trying to be shallow but I'm concerned about your health I know it's probably a slim chance your reading this but we have already lost luther vandross(whose weight fluctuated) ,and Barry white if you don't lose some weight you'll be next.

[TheCatcherkid]

really not good.....

[catmama8385]

RUBEN I THANK THE FOR BLESSING SO MUCH I'AM IN MY PRIME AND I THANK GOD YOUR STILL GOING HARD GOD BLESS YOU .

[TheVokality]

merry christmas!

[s1ms07]

who originally made this song?

[Cydeko]

@s1ms07 DONNY HATHAWAY.

[Mixxersmix]

two thumbs up to the big guy!!!!!

[TracyM20]

This is By Far My Most Favourite Christmas Song! Ruben did a Fantastic Job! He's so Jolly LOL! & to the 8 that Disliked This - What the Hell is Wrong With Y'all!?!

[Jeannified]

Love me some Ruben Studdard!!!! So glad that he sang this song! Love it! The best Christmas song ever made

[truecolt]

I love this guy!!!

[fatherjon908]

SHAKE A HAND, SHAKE A HAND! DUMMEE!

[ThePrettyjeannie]

[antyfreeman2008]

SAAAANG RUBEN!

[knightschemdry]

Was his voice cracking a little. I love this song...

[gskhalaf]

No, I heard this on AOL way back. The crackle is from Youtube. Ruben's voice is clear as a bell. I love it.

[liveurdream9265]

hit the notes much?

[drwggh]

Like Rubben but, man get the guy a towel to wipe the sweat off of his face and head.

[larrainewong]

i loved him i miss seeing him on tv shows

[PunkStar299]

i luv him he is like a huge teddy ber i just want to hug

[AlanTellesMP]

Is he Big Rube, who sings with Fred Hammond, in one of his DVD, the song "A Closer Walk With Thee"?

[toughguru]

@LADYADEE Chris brown cannot even be put into the same category as Donny. That was dumb for you to say that Chris is better!!!

[peko128]

so this guy won American Idol and is very good of them yesterday, I got drunk and we were into dumbness

[seriouslyguyswtf]

how did this guy win american idol? voice is weak as fuck

[thelovebug1996]

@seriouslyguyswtf ok first of alll wtf is ur prob... second he isnt bad hes amazing so shut the fuck up and keep ur comments to ursalf cuz ppl that like him are tru ppl

[lgildersleeve141]

@seriouslyguyswtf Since it's called "American" idol, and it was left to America to vote, seems like your statement is a waste of breath....cuz he did indeed win...you are the weakest link...Goodbye

[SaraPlain333Tall]

i luv ruben, but did he say, "shake a ham, shake a ham" lol

but ruben is gr8 and really a teddy bear

[thatonechubbyguylol]

LoL

[SoAmazing45]

@SaraPlain333Tall

lmaoo

[bebe4235]

@SaraPlain333Tall i guess he was hungry "/

[runnerup109]

@SaraPlain333Tall nah, he said "shake a hand, shake a hand." lol ham though?

[fatherjon908]

@SaraPlain333Tall lmaoo everytime i hear that part it starts to sound so much like that.. Thanks for making me keep thinking about it.

[tweettheboss]

@SaraPlain333Tall lol he said shake a hand hahahha

[mrpussyhole]

@SaraPlain333Tall lol

[27Lovelysmiles]

@SaraPlain333Tall You just think you heard that because he's a big guy but they said shake a hand. I'm a true Ruben fan and he did a great job on this- Go Ruben!!!!

[JEFFCLEVANDR]

@SaraPlain333Tall he is saying "shake a hand shake a hand now"... The original version sung by (for the life of me I can't remember) they said it on that cover... A version sung in the 70's and early 80's... Really good cover you should give it a listen if you find it. Its on the "Motown Double Christmas Album"

[Zolt207]

@JEFFCLEVANDR donny hathaway sang the original

[THECONNIECOLE]

@SaraPlain333Tall You need to quit! Naw, he said "shake a hand, shake a hand". LOL

[Mzdaydaygurl]

@THECONNIECOLE Lol

[preciouspnay]

[4bigshot4]

*NO HOMO*

[garseven]

He's a cutie!

[Neji041]

am i the only one who noticed that he is saying "the firen side is blazing bright" ?

correct me if i'm wrong, but i remember it being, "the fire side is blazing bright".

[LADYDAEE]

@Neji041 lol he is saying the fireside lol

[Neji041]

oh. lol

[JKBJBonita]

ahh...he's like a teddy bear <3 :D

[drackch]

why can't i find a Donny Hathaway version. this one is ok, Eric Benet's was better, but i wanna hear Donny's!!!!

[CherylLuvsJesus]

Hi drackch, if you didn't find it already (Slo912) has Donny Hathaways version

[sexyninja2314]

its a beautiful song and ruben did it amazingly good

[chauncyr]

All Hail Frat!!!!

[moya0689]

lol...is that Romel on drums??

[RainingGame]

omg, the way they're dancing is hilarious.

[ALandAudie117]

Yeah... that does look kinda weird. haha.

[teejlod]

that was funny big shell

[BiGShell]

Do you know the name "ruben" is a name of a sandwich? I bet his mom was hungry as hell when she named him

[mathewvue123]

go ruben studdard!!!!

love your songs!!!

god bless!!

[clone5]

he rocked it wit his belly :-))

[jazcfreind123]

lol

[sman555555]

this is good but donny's version is in a class by itself

[CamilleNadia]

I agree. Donny's is the best, but this is a pretty decent second.

[LADYDAEE]

@CamilleNadia I think Donny is great -- but, chris brown is better and rubben is good.

[hmoobgrl]

man... i dont hear of ruben anymore.. do anyone knows if he had an album come out?? he is my idol... well not the only one... but yeah.. i miss hearing him sing....

[ARFNSX]

He is coming out with another album 5/09. He is currently working on it with the producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

[hmoobgrl]

ok. thanks..

[kbdwiz51]

Thank GOD! Now all these little soft singing little boys can get off the radio! But why does he say the fire inside during this rendition? It's supposed to be fireside. I'm just sayin :) Pretty good performance though...I'm a fan for life!

[zulubeat]

He rocked it

[RobBrown65]

SLIBFS!

[markwaldonjohnson]

Awesome! Love the huskey tone to his voice! please check me out under Come What may-Mark johnson.Thanks and have a great xmas!!

[ShijrakiCostominso]

This okay.

[theshow1234]

this is the best version out of all of 'em. also the way he sings, but the background chimes in, this christmas. the best.

[drlove1972]

I must say this version is fabulous, but I'm sorry no one can outdo donny's

[iconstylert]

chris brown can...and did ;)

[zulubeat]

Only someone very young would say Chris Brown's version is better than Donnie Hathaway's original version. The only thing Chris Brown can do better than the late great Donnie Hathaway is dance

[drlove1972]

Agreed. Only someone very young or very ignorant(or both)would even mention Chris Brown in the same breath as Donnie Hathaway. And honestly, I'm not all that impressed with Brown's dancing either

[drlove1972]

Your foolish comment barely deserves a response, especially since you're probably some 2nd grader. But anyway, not only is Chris Brown's version no where near as good as the original, with his nasal and at times annoying voice, but I would say it doesn't even crack the top 10.

[dutch3300]

u out ur god damn mind foo

[2dkoda]

The drummer and guitarist make this version.I would have liked to hear Joe use live musicians in his version.

[richdawginthehouse]

donny hathaway's version is way better.

[2dkoda]

Thats cause he wrote it

[SdoubleOK]

i wanna wipe his sweat off.........

[Butters1470]

barely has any sweat but okay.

[naturalXdisater0TM]

he is really good happy that he won american idol 2003 was it.?

[sinfonian3]

I see you frat! ALL HAIL!

[mzsandy1023]

GO HOMEBOY! 205

[christopher321]

nice vibe but he simply can't hit those notes!

[19elf83]

That's my bruh, but i agree he can't hit those notes...

[hawtsunglasses]

i love this song, and ruben!

[apureterror]

Great job Ruben!

[iskrew]

I LOVE RUBENNNNNN!

[imisskorea88]

This is my favorite version of this song. I love the sound of the electric guitar with Ruben's voice over it. Nice.
