I would have to say I prefer Carrie's over Mariah's. Her is by far the best version I have heard! Especially on her Christmas Special!

love this song! :)

Dear Christina,
This is how you cover a classic.
Love,
Carrie Fans

@LegoLord27 It is a beautiful song, and I wholly agree that Carrie captures the humility and grace with which the song is meant to portray. However, and I realize that you may not care, but your use of 'staccato' is incorrect. 'Staccato' means "short and detached." The word you're looking for is 'melisma,' which is pretty much just crazy runs occurring on a single syllable. If you've ever heard Christina Aguilera, you've heard a melisma. :)

This is my favorite version. most of the other singers try to jazz it up and show off their voice with different tricks with staccato or whatever. Carrie sings it simply with that golden voice of hers. This song is not about how great a singer you are. This song is about humility. Our Lord Jesus is born. Fall on your knees.

@JeremyFillipp I actually found this version better than Carrie's holiday special. I thought she really messed up the ending there. In any event, O Holy Night is one of my favorite songs, not just including Christmas songs. Carrie did okay with it, better than I would think as I am not a Carrie fan, but Josh Groban's version is amazing compared to this.

this song gives me goosebumps and brings tears into my eyes :)

@kmscore3131 ...OR.You could do what I did...Buy her Carnival Ride CD which includes her Christmas CD! :)

@JeremyFillipp Her version, to me, is the best. But then again I'm a huge Reba fan. LOL!
-
@brittany66079 I haven't heard her version yet!

@JeremyFillipp have you heard Reba's version?

@kmscore3131 This may no longer be relevant, but a year ago you inquired as to where you could get a copy of Carrie Underwood's performance of O Holy Night. This song and four others are available on a bonus disk that came with a re-release of her second CD, Carnival Ride. I just checked iTunes, and as of now only one of the songs is available as part of a different release. I'm sure the Carnival Ride re-release CD is still kickin' around though :)
Where could I get a copy of this?
