  • Very good, but after listening to David Phelps everything else sounds so bland in comparison

  • Everytime I hear this song performed by anyone other than John, I find myself wishing I was listening to this version lol

  • I'm was not familiar with this talent but he certainly is on my playlist now.

  • I like John. He is a good singer who has gotten very little air play. I've listen to Sandy Patti, Micheal W, Amy Grant, Vince Gill and many others, but no one does this song better than John. Merry Christmas to everyone.

  • @winglessviper, I agree with you completely. John has not gotten the air play he deserves. He has a tremendous voice! This is my go-to Christmas carol every year.

  • @hckyguy1762 I live in lower MI, I saw him about 5 years ago when I was 20, He moved me then as he did when I was 12 and saw him for the first time in concert. I can't help but get goosebumps every time I hear his voice, live or on CD.

  • i listen to John Berry's O Holy Nite cd every christmas season, my favorite.

  • i love this song

  • I've listened to dozens of versions of O Holy Night and, to me, John Berry's is by far the best. Maybe it's not the best to other people, but, for me, I haven't heard another recording anywhere close. This version brings tears to my eyes and sends chills down my spine.

  • I listen to this song year around and try to sing a long with it. I always end up with tears in my eyes. John's voice is powerful and so amazing. He did such an amazing job with this song.

  • Best rendition of this song ever. Such a powerful, moving voice...thank you John.

  • @2312jewels great, yes. The best, I disagree. Have you heard of David Phelps? watch?v=xIdjYQxbTIU&feature=sh­are

  • Where's the one in the Church.  I really miss it!

  • @greco455 John truly sings like an angel brings tears to my heart.

  • Best version I ever heard. A bit early but just so beautiful.

  • Awesome voice =)

  • This is my absolute favorite rendition of this song... I listen to it all year long, just not on Christmas!

  • I go to see John every chance I get and just had that pleasure night before last. His voice just blows me away and he's a really nice guy. I just can't understand why he gets so little air time on the radio stations. He is way better than Kenny Chesney!

  • If ever a song was made to be sung so beautifully - it has to be this. What a gift from God John Berry has in that voice.

  • Every Christmas season L can't wait for this song to become available, it is incredable. I saw him at charloote michigan and the man was fantastic, singing acapella, or with a string guitarand I was blown away!!

  • Beautiful rendition of this spectacular hymn. I am a Canadian and if John Berry did come to Canada for medical reasons, so what? We Canadians use our medical plans to "help the stranger that is within thy gates" as per the scriptures. If one of our medical plans cured John or anybody else, then thanks be to God.

  • i hae never heard it done better. John Berry surpasses all. it's like the song was wrote for him

  • john berry sings this version sooo wonderful this is the only version i will listen to he puts alot of feeling into and i love it

  • I used to work at a radio station and we had at least 100 versions of this song. This is the one everyone wanted to hear. It's been one of my favorites since the first time I heard it and I play it year round. It's just a beautiful song made even more beautiful by John Berry's voice.

    

  • i saw him at the kicks 99 guitar pull in augusta, Ga last november and he sang this with no music just by himself and i was blown away and it was just freakin AWSOME!!!!!! This man is very very VERY talented he doesn't need any music when he sings he is awsome!

  • Vic was right again... I have listened to this song 4 times in a row and I still can't make it through it without crying. Wow!

  • John, That was absolutely beautiful. Thank you!

  • The best version of this song ever!  Thanks

  • does not get any better than this

  • I am someone who enjoys listening to Christmas music all year long. Mr Berry does a beautiful job singing this classic!

  • Please John Berry never stop singing this you do it so great,you are so very blessed.Thank you for this.

  • yep, the video with this on CMT way back when was really good. great singer.....

  • Excellent. Wish I could find the video that went with it.

  • Merry Christmas to everyone from Henderson, Kentucky USA

  • Merry Chirstmas from Decker (southern) Indiana

  • Awesome, John Berry is a great singer and songwriter. He should have been recognized more over the years than he has been.

  • Didn't the Hiltons own some inns in jewtownn back then?? Well the FBI wishes all you black folk a happy kwanzai.

  • "All in the love of our Jesus Christ our Lord"!!

    "Behold I come fast......Amen

  • They had the video on here last... the best version of this song I've ever heard!

  • Pure perfection!...Brings tears to my eyes!

  • love it...

  • John is one of the finest vocalists I've ever heard; absolutely stunning when he adds his tenor voice to one of the greatest Christmas songs ever!

  • @Mopar21277 Agreed!

  • @Mopar21277  the surfer 1974 I saw him in concert at Kens in Skowhegan Maine where my wife works, it was christmas time and he sang this song with no music at all!!! Most people were drinking some where definitly intoxicated but when he finished this song he received a standing ovation!!! His voice put chills down my spine!!!!

  • I have listened to hundreds of versions of this wonderful song by as many artists but none move me like this version. And as those that have seen him live at a Christmas concert can attest, it will bring tears to your eyes. Merry Christmas!

  • Does anyone have the real video to this song? It's so chilling, love to see it!

  • @i have it on a vhs tape, someone has to help me get it on, this was played on the 700 club in 1995, i taped and shared it over the years, i will eventually get it posted, this is the one where he sings in the church, the live little baby jesus is so touching, i just know god wants me to share it, if someone could explain how i can transfer this that could help raine

  • seeing John live in concert tonight, here in Ottawa Canada - probably my 3rd or 4th time seeing him - it's always wonderful and he is a real inspiration for me, a fellow cancer survivor

  • @keagleso Why would he sing in Canada? Did he need their socialist medicine to overcome his camcer? No, that's right he used the greatest capitalistic source of medicine in the world good ole USA, too bad cancer didn't kill the rat bastard! Merrry X-mas jOHNNY. Try singing in your home country you ungrateful fuck!!!!

  • @dmillsify It takes a special kind of troll to come in here and purposefully berate others for their beliefs which have no impact on you besides your need for self-aggrandizement, not to mention, to chide a survivor of cancer to make a point about health insurance is beyond the pale.

  • I really don't understand you're post; however, I'll take being special as a compliment. Thanks!

  • JOHN was in a motorclcyle accident in the 1980's and had his legs almost crushed and shortly thereafter he had surgery to remove a brain tumor. He was told he'd never sign again! HA! I believe God was like "WATCH for I shall show you who is in control". John sings this like none other! Thank you John and Jesus! All glory to you my Lord!

  • man i have been tryin to find this version of this song forever. I love his version of it, but the music video on CMT is amazing. they dont play it often but if you ever get a chance to see it. you will enjoy it, its life changing. they did an amazingly fantastic job on that one.

  • Thank you Jesus. All glory to you my lord.

  • again someone wanting to be heard over stupid things that have nothing to do with the song...., , enjoy the song the video , johns amazing voice,,, thats all!!

  • Nobody does this song better than John Berry!!! Merry Christmas!!

  • What the hell does the constitution or roman census have to do with this. Jesus' birthday is Dec. 25. That's what we're celebrating.

  • Well stated frrswebmaster. Without a doubt, John Berry sings the most powerful version of this song. Thank you John Berry. Believe in the Magic this Holiday Season.

  • It is a shame the constitution doesn't protect us from idiots.

  • Thank you Jesus Christ for this country and Christmas, your birthday. Forgive all who forgot what is Constitutional and remind those who forgot that CHRISTmas is legal, and i shall say it over and over. I feel sorry for everybody that bows to the govt..

  • X-mas is a pagan holiday. The Roman census would never have been in winter, even in the Middle-East. Lying for personal or monetary gain is not protected by the constitution. Evidently it is not protected by the Vatican, Bible, or the Religious right. Christmas is a hoax!

  • Isn't this the very event the U.S. census bureau is exploiting for all the catholics to participate in the 2010 census? The Catholics and Government have no shame.

  • Excuse me... Talking about politics isn't really something I want to see or discuss around Christmas. I respect your views. but really... no one cares... enjoy the song! and Msiter Berry's beautiful voice of rejoice!

  • But isn't x-mas the pagan celebration stolen by the church to celebrate the birth of Christ? Isn't the birth of Christ, your savior, significant because it takes place in Bethlehem because of the Roman census? This is not political speak this is biblical history!

  • Blah blah blah blah.... Nope I am religious free. But. I like the song anyway. I don't need to label myself. pagan.. Christian. roman catholic. does it matter? the holidays is family. Why aren't you spending time with yours? that's sad! Shhhh! Mister Berry is singing again! :D

  • Ten Stars...Thank you God for your Son Jesus.

    And thank you John.

  • Well said my friend.

    Excellent song, awesome performance.

    5 *s!

  • and thank you for his brother Satan!

  • Celtic Woman is nice too:) Inwl, sorry for your loss. I might be in the same boat soon:( I say a prayer for you, pleez say a prayer for my mom. Its ok tho:D We are close to reuniting with our loved ones.

  • m wondering the same :(

  • This man is blessed with one of the most perfect voices I have heard. This song actualy brought me to tears, none bette!

  • Absolutely the best. I love his version. Awesome powerful voice.

  • he sounded like kermit the frog for a few seconds david phelps and celine dion sing this perfectly this guy is good too but sounds too much like kermit

  • better get your hearing checked, or you are just plain deaf!

  • This version is by far my favorite-I first heard it while rolling up I-44 through Missouri during the Christmas season a few years back while passing all the Christmas light displays along that piece of Interstate. I don't ever recall a voice that soared and moved me as much as that one did. That song was followed by Trans-Siberian Orchestra "Tolling of the Bells"-WOW, what a ride!

  • This is the best version of this song out there...Josh Groban only wishes he could soind this good!!!

  • Yes, John Berry was meant to sing this tune.
