I was having a weekend afternoon doze and woke up to this ringing in my ears from the radio- loved it. More of this laid back version of Stacy purleaseee..
Sweet ! Pleasant enough song, really excellent voice ! When will she have her own CD ? I am so ready to buy ! Need to hear more of this beautiful voice !
It's very difficult to cover any well-established Christmas song. Stacey Solomon, of all people, has managed to do it. I prefer the stripped-back "alternative version" though, which was used on the Iceland ad.
I think people were hooked in by the ad version, so this over-orchestrated version will limit it's popularity. There's a nice live version on RU-vid on the Wright Stuff
Jehovah's Witnesses told me that the timing of Christmas has much to do with the Pagan winter solstice and the Roman festival Saturnalia,they suggest a marriage of convenience.
It's nice enough, i like her and makes a good job with it .... but i do think Chris Rea's version is better. The biggest shock to me is that this great song, even by Chris Rea, only reached number 11 in the charts.
Yeah, I get the irony, but they're both Abrahamic faiths and I'm sure there are Jews who celebrate at this time of year even if they don't subscribe to all of the accepted beliefs. Also don't forget that Christmas is just a collection of pagan celebrations.
There's NO SOUL in this terrible version of what is an utter classic by a true musician i.e. Chris Rea, she's just another boring karaoke singer - thank God Christmas is over and it wont be played any more..if you think she's that good why can't she write her own Chrimbo song
