  • Love that husky voice

  • Love you in every way LeAnn!! Merry Christmas to you and yours 2011!!! (:

  • Damn she perfect in every way....great voice.

  • how bout these lyrics? "Give back the husband you stole, hussy homewrecker."

  • @youroldsweetie there's 2 sides to every story.

  • @xisnor 2 sides? Fact #1: They were both married at the time the affair started. Fact #2: Breaking up a marriage(s) (2 marriages in this case) by having an affair constitutes being called "homewrecker."

  • LeeAnn does an excellent job on this one, although slightly hammy. She has a great voice, but I like songs sung straight without exaggeration or seemingly trying to outdo the original singer. I'm not accusing her of that, but some seem bent on doing that. I know some may say this is her interpretation, but I say sing the song straight. The same applies to those who mess with the national anthem, showing off their ability to sing up and down the scale. To me this is still Lisa Layne's song.

  • its good to see that im not the only one who loves christmas music sooner than the actual day of christmas

  • My favorite singer for this song.

  • As much as I considerably dislike country music, this girl can sing!!! This is my favorite Xmas song after I heard her do this.

  • i love this woman!!!! she`s really amazing!!!! beautiful voice and she looks like an angel!!! leann i love u!!!

  • i prefer the original version by Vince Vance and the Valiants. that was my grandmother's favorite song. i grew up listening to that one. dont get me wrong.. all the other versions are good and everything.. but they cant beat the original

  • Nice, well done, 5 by 5

  • I love this!

  • she'd sound better if she didnt sing through her nose all the time

  • Comment removed

  • go find lisa layne! THE ORIGINAL!! this girl will never mesure up to her!!

  • @0620toby - Nonsense - LAR is better.

  • Nah - seriously. Lisa Layne's versions is excellent, but LAR is excellent too. Just go with whoever you like.

    It's silly to act like there's no comparison or some huge difference between the respective talents because they are both simply excellent. There's something very classic about the song too. Give Vince Vance and whoever may have helped with the songwriting major credit.

  • She is the best!

  • Nice redention, but the original by Lisa Layne is amazing!

  • this version is way better than mariah carey's.

  • @HotNanny88

    This song is NOT the same as Mariah's, only the same title. This is a better song, IMHO. I also grew up loving the original by Vince Vance and the Valiants (and Lisa Layne), being a New Orleans boy!

  • The 11 people that rated this "dislike " aren't getting anything for christmas!!

  • I all i want for christman is my Robert Wendel and Claudine longet

  • Comment removed

  • Hmm. I recognized the call letters for that station (101.9 the Twister) I wonder where in OKC that was filmed?

  • mariah is a genius. simple as that.

  • I think this version is terrible, compared to Lisa Layne. No one else should ever redo it.

  • the best

  • elvis

  • singing a christmas song, or making out with a microphone....

  • she can sing but Lordy she is butt ugly.

  • No she's not. The older she gets, the better looking she gets. You're probably one of those people who stopped liking her after that scandal. I don't care about her personal life 'cause that's her business, not mine. She, like Reba and Martina, can sing the phone book and that's all that matters.

  • great version by a real cutety pie

  • She says she sang this song since she was a teenager !

    She learned it from Vince Vance and the Valients - 1993 !

    She still does an awesome job on it, but not as good as Lisa Layne !

    She is the Ultimate ! 

  • LeAnn is simply fantastic.. I honestly cannot find any of her songs that I do not like ..

    There seems to be magic in her voice, that turns any song into gold ..

    We are indeed very lucky to have her in the music industry, and very lucky to be given the oppurtunity to hear such a remarkable voice...

  • Vince Vance and Valients one hit wonder, a classic by anyone who sings it!

  • of course...it is another year, another holiday season coming up...and it is starting with my favorite song of all times ...

    once again thank you very much and happy holidays, may love always be around you!

  • I love Leanne. She is by far my favorite artist. However, I was hoping that she would cover this song to hear how much of a run for the money she would give Vince Vance. To my dismay, Leann tanked big time, especially on her Christmas album. I really thought that she would have done way better.

  • Mariah doesn't even sing this....if you could take the time out of your bitchin' to read the description you would see that.

  • I was expecting her to sing Mariah Carey's xtmas song LMAO!!!

  • The original is  really cool...

  • My favorite Christmas song also! Love it

  • Wow. She is doing a great job of my favorite Christmas song originally done by Vince Vance and The Valiants. She has a wonderful voice.

  • love it for the past 10+ years

  • Does anyone know if Lean Rimes came thru Indiana this past Christmas week during 22nd on US hwy 50?

  • In Aurora Indiana on US 50 at the WalMart

  • i dont think so , i freakin' wish tho!!

  • this is a really good song. This is my b/f and my christmas song.

  • both LeAnn and Lisa sing the hell outta this song. I just wish LR would have given a nod to the Valiants when introducing the song. Oh well, it sounds great!

  • MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

  • She does a great job, but this indeed belongs to Lisa.

  • Why cant i send this

  • Why does everybody feel the need to compare singers? Look to your right and you'll see lots of people sing this song. Pick the singer you like best and listen to it.

  • LeAnn has a great voice, but Lisa Layne owns this song!

  • I've met LeAnn several times and Deborah Allen also at a LeAnn Rimes Fan Club party back in like 01 in Franklin Tenn and have seen her perform live many times and they are both great singers and songwriters as well. Mariah Carey does this song very well too. This is actually the first time I've heard LeAnn do this song, she's really good. I don't think there is a song she couldn't do well.

  • deosn't Mariah sing a different song by the same name? not sure.....

  • I'm not sure I don't believe so, I just think Mariah's is a bit faster..

  • You are right. Same name different songs.

  • @axman90210 Of course! Mariah wrote a song called ' All I want for Christmas is you' too. ;) You know,  the song you hear over and over every Christmas ;p

  • Wow! What a RICH VOICE! You go, Leann Rimes! Good job, girl! Love the version they play on the radio as well!

  • Ok ya'll don't fly off the handle and I am not putting Leann or Mariah down cuz lord knows that I can't carry a tune in a bucket but it is my opinion that Vince Vance with Lisa Layne does a better job of this song

  • Shes got a great voice, but she cant touch Lisa on this one!

  • Way better than Lisa Layne. She can sing ANYTHING!

  • i dont like how she said you guys instead of y'all

  • Debbie Allen made a video of this song that's even better than this one and much sexier

  • My baby my storm, all i want is you!

  • is that a norwegian flag on the screen? :D

  • Yes, that's a norwegian flag :)

  • she's got a beautiful voice <3 God bless her!

  • I absolutely love this video. I have it bookmarked for practice. Lisa Layne sings it too high for me and Leann's version is just perfect. Thank you for uploading this video!!! yay!

  • THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG,

    since I first heard this version with LeAnn Rimes last year, it has been my favorite!!

    She sings it so beautifuly and just so simple just like xmas wishes ....

    Another year gone by ..my xmas wish so simple but has not been fullfiled yet :)

    Peace and love for everyone who believes in xmas wishes come true and to true love! Thank you for a super great upload :)

  • Thank you for your great message.

    May peace, joy and happiness be yours this Christmas season.

  • @straytiger Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!

    May all your wishes come true this holiday season :) !!!!!

  • Wow, God bless you

  • @argyroulamou

    I"m a HUGE LeAnn fan, but, this cover just doesn't measure up to V V and V's original. Sorry! It may be in the casual arrangement, as her voice is aces. Maybe a more professional production would help.

  • @pokermanruss the reason i love this specific song and video..is cause of its simplicity, it makes me feel like I am right there in my jeans and little tank ....some of us ...prefer natural over glamour, you must have lots more to be natural then glamourous :) this song is about not needing expensive things ..afterall :)

  • @pokermanruss - listen to her Christmas album for a more professional version. It's awesome.

  • Doesn't get any better than this one sung by the one and only Leann!!!!!!

  • Mariah is great

    check this version

    myspace,com/bobbywhiteone

  • I'm ashamed, but I plumb forgot about this version, after hearing Mariah. Hearing it again, brings back some great memories. Thanks for the upload.

  • lol.. i was listening to this and was like wtf.... seems that two christmas songs have the same name... i like Mariah's song better. but this was a nice find.. beautiful slow song. :)

  • Leann Rimes is a great singer, but nobody does this song like Lisa Layne, Lisa owns it

  • I agree, this is the best version of this song yet.

  • Best version ever!

  • This is a fav song of mines, and LeAnn does a great job!

  • The best video of her!

  • It's my favourite song too!!!!

  • This is a great performance ! Can anyone tell me if Leann Rimes recorded this acoustic version on CD.

  • she did, it's on her christmas album

  • Exelent Gitara stils, Super song 5/5 :)

  • i never thought this song had anything to do with mariahs song at all.

    why is everyone comparing the two?

  • I totally agree with you. The two are completely different songs.

  • @maryportwood Maybe because they have the same name and pretty much the same theme? lol

  • MARIAH´S SONG IS NOT A VERSION OF THIS...MAN!

    is completly different !

    both ar e beatiful.

  • EXACTLY!!! THIS IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SONG FROM MARIAH'S!! how can you people not hear that? the only similarity is the all i want for christmas part and all other words/beat and everything are different. and i totally agree w u, both are awesome!!

  • I have no idea why Mariah Carey's song is more popular, because this song totally TOPS it!

  • Yeah because the sales really show that.. xD

    For me LeAnn's voice is too gruff. Mariah's is more nice to listen to. Easy listening, you know?

  • no way Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You" tops this cos its catchy and easy to listen to its fun and really gets people in the mood

    i'm from Texas, and songs like this all slow is kinda depressing to listen to at Christmas..

  • Her live vocals are AMAZING.

  • Hi all, I just want to share some beautiful experience I had today... play this song with my guitar at a hospital for patients... everybody love it ( I'm not as good looking as Leann though... but the lylic and melody are so powerful )

  • Moechte auch so eine Video haben.Leider habe kein.Super mit 3 Gitares ....5/5

  • I can't believe I never heard this version before. Onmy way to work and I put it up there with, Crosby's White Christmas, Garlands, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Great song, I am now curious about Vince Vances Version if it's better I'll admit it but it's gonna be tough.

    Red

  • This Red and I apologize--Lisa Layne is the one.. How come She isn't all over the place.. It was close but previous posters were correct.  Vince Vance and Lisa Layne version is a 10+

    Red

  • Vince Vance's with lisa is SOOO much better. Lisa did a remake of it, but i prefer the original with that sax solo.

  • I adore LeAnn. I would listen to her sing anything she wanted to sing. She does a wonderful job on this song. But...Lisa Layne's cover of this song on the Vince Vance Album really owns this song. It was made for the woman's voice. As much as I love LeAnn, I much prefer Lisa Layne

  • Same here, Lisa is the Best for this song!!

    LeAnn is a very close secound.

  • This was so hard to find! All that came up on the searches was Mariah's song - and countless crappy covers of it! So thanks so much for posting.

  • Does anyone have an mp3 for this version. Can't find it anywhere, and I definitely want this version instead of the regular one

  • it's on her christmas album

  • Oh what a great singer so happy to have found this song, was being played on a hold time for a delivery service (parclenet), so worth the search!!!!

  • shes so damn good

  • WOW...this is my absolute favorite rendition of this song and other then Vince Vance Leanns got it...And Mariah needs to hear this side and learn!!!!

  • She is singing the VINCE VANCE version of this song. Keyword VINCE VANCE and you will see.

    Sorry but I just have to say this ~ LeAnn you are YUMMY you go girl!

  • Of course she can!

  • mariah cant compete with this song

  • Seriously? ...

  • this is a DIFFERENT SONG.idiots!!!

  • I really like this version of this song but I can't help but think about how Rod Price would have played this song.

  • This is a Vince Vance & the Valiants song. Vince wrote it, Lisa Layne sings it, but in the original video of this song Rhonda Vincent lip sincs it.

  • I hate to say it..cause I am a Mariah fan for 20 years..but this is not a Mariah song..although I think mariah did a little ripping of it..

  • one of my best Christmas Song ever!!! Leannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Love you so much!!! wish you a 'Merry Little Christmas! HO HO HO Dear Leann loverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr damourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Leannnn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • I like this version more than her recorded version though she really rocks out on that one. This year, this is my favorite Christmas song because I'm spending it with my muffin. I love you James!

  • I love you too!!

  • luv this song and leanne rimes

  • lisa layne sang this song when she was part of vince vance and the valiants band. Vince wrote the song

  • Lisa Layne was the singer in Vince's band. Mariah Scarey ruined the title. LeeAnn does fine.

  • Mariah Carey made the title!

  • Are you Mental! or a product of a Public Education! That Mud child! sang a different Song ( All I want for christmas) ! A high pitch Typical Black song! She has never created anything in her limited life ! Have a nice  Christmas Bitch!

  • Mariah Carey's song is "All I Want For Christmas Is You" as well. I am aware that it is a completely different song! Mariah WROTE her song and is way ! It is evident by the way you approach things that I have more education than you will ever have! It's just youtube and its my opinion... you don't have to agree with me. And please don't talk bad about Mariah Carey because nobody cares about LeAnn Rimes anyways... Have a terrible Christmas you racist asshole!

  • Um excuse me!? I care about LeAnn Rimes! She has one of the best voices in music today. Her voice is way stronger then mariah's. Mariah's voice is way too light. Plus, Mariah marrying nick cannon doesn't say much for her character. She'll marry anyone the comes along and shows her attention. Sad.

  • I didn't say she doesn't have a good voice... I personally do not care about her and I was trying to ger irishean2 mad for being so rude and talking about Mariah like that. If you aren't a Mariah fan then you wouldn't understand. Just let her be happy. She has gone through so much that she deserves the best. And she didn't do it for attention cause she doesn't need it. And just compare them in music. Mariah is much more popular and has achieved much more than LeAnn Rimes will ever accomplish.

  • Um, mariah is 40. LeAnn is 26 and has already set records that mariah never made including winning two grammys at the age of 14. Youngest person ever to win a grammy. So LeAnn can accomplish what mariah has and then some. When mariah was 26 she didnt accomplish all that LeAnn has accomplished now at that same age.

  • Actually she is 38 and at 26 she had accomplished FAR more than what LeAnn has so far... get your facts straight. Mariah had 13 #1 singles by the age of 26 and SO many awards! Just face it...

  • do you know the orginal singer for this song?

  • This is a Vince Vance & the Valiants song. Vince wrote it, and Lisa Layne sang it.

  • and she completely butchers one of mine and my husband's songs.

  • this song is amazing and such a great song to sing along too, i love it :)

  • LeAnn destroys Mariah's version.

  • ...mariah's version is totally different. it's not even the same song. it just happens to have the same title...

    merry christmas :)

  • Sorry... But MARIAH WROTE this song... Sorry!

    Its Mariahs song...So.. The original is always better!

  • Ops! Its not the same song... Its true! kkkkkkk

  • hahahahahahaha.

    Merry christmas :)

  • Mariah has never recorded this song, and she did not write it.

  • Mirah's version was a reworking of the Vince Vance song with the same chord progression but different words. Legally that would mean she Co-wrote her version of the song and should share royalties with the original writers.

  • there completly differenct songs...just cuz its the same title doesnt mean shit...there 2 different songs and mariah can take all the credit for hers cuz she wrote hers while whoever wrote this gets credit for their...

  • Mariah has no version of this song. She never recorded it.

  • leAnn rimes did a country version or how ever you spell that

  • luv her!!!!

  • Sorry leann you have a pretty voice, but lisa layne has a beautiful powerful voice when it comes to singig this song!!!!!

  • Ok sorry i was wrong, didn't realize that lisa layne was the original singer of this song. who i was talking about was vince vance and the valliants.....the girl that sings that song has an astounding voice!!!!!

  • shes singing this waaayyy lower than the album version

  • this is my favorite christmas song!...and i am from up north(new york) give it up to the south!

  • This girl is pretty AND she can sing.

  • this is great but what happened to Lisa Layne?

  • I love this version, LeAnn Rimes is fantastic but I wish someone would put the one with Vince Vance in it back up... miss it!

  • Yes, this version was written by my buddy Troy Powers and Vince Vance. My favorite Christmas song ever! Nice job LeAnn!

  • Damn, this girl can sing

  • If you think this version is good -- check out Amy Downs -- she belts this out better than anyone I've ever heard

  • amazing..O_o

  • This is not the same song that Mariah Carey wrote and sings on. This one is written by Vince Vance (Andy Stone) & Troy Powers.

  • LeAnn Rimes version is terrific here!

  • what a voice on her... amazing.

  • Thank you! Been looking for this forever!!! Merry Christmas!

  • Of course LeAnn's version is better, Mariah Carey is overrated as a singer.
