  • Thank you for posting. This takes me back..I was struggling to finish my final semester in college, plagued by stress. This special came on TV and really saved me.

  • Absolutely the most beautiful new Christmas song. It truly IS Jessye's Carol!

  • If you have studied text and context or marketing; then this video has a totally different meaning. First, watch the angles of the camera and all of the colors that are highlighted. Second, you must watch Jessye's hands. Finally, the lyrics are dynomite - double entandre at it's best. Example: #1 "This Christmastide" = "Bitch kiss my ass, tide". #2 "From a simple ox's stall" = "Fucking simple ox it's all". In summation, this is the fireball of all Christmas Carols. Thanks Miss. Norman!

  • What A beautiful Christmas song. I had never heard this till I saw the american boy choir a couple of years ago. Truly a standad!

  • Sencillamente apabullante, hay momentos que parece un tenor. Increible registro

  • sempre fui apaixonado pela voz de Jessye Norman; estaé uma verdadeira canção de ninar para meus ouvidos

  • Such warmth and beauty in this performance. Miss Norman has always been one of my favorite singers.

  • the american boychoir...doing it all once again...i love my old choir

  • I listen to this when ever I just need to sit and be still. It is a reflective peice, Ms. Norman's voice is so soothing and the music is pure.

  • I guess you know that you have "made it" as a singer when peope start writing Christmas carols for your voice. Who needs to die and go to heaven to hear an angel sing? We have Jessye Norman right here on earth!

  • Nice comment Mike. I'm an American passing through UK soon - will try to get to Ely. Looks so beautful! Love Jessye too--what a voice and spirit!
