Vince Gill did a pretty damned good one the other night at the Ryman.

I love watching reaction videos to this performance on youtube.


Me too! The reviewers are almost always slack jawed when he first pops “name” towards the end of the second verse.

I nominate Josh Groban's version. Josh Groban - O Holy Night


Hands down, my fave version.

If you can't hit the high note at the end without warbling like an R&B singer, you have no business even attempting this song.

I like the ones where they start towards the end belting out “NOEL, No-Elllllll”. Carrie Underwood’s may be the best of these versions.

The answer is usually Ella Fitzgerald for most songs...

That said, the best Christmas song is Adeste Fideles (O Come All Yes Faithful) and there are several that do great versions of that.

Ella

Bing

Nat

This is my favorite version of the song. It's in Swedish, but if you know the song you can easily understand it. Enjoy!
