Merry Christmas (Part II)

It's Christmas day! And I couldn't not write you today, so I'm just passing by to give you my Christmas presents.
The first one it's one of my favourite Christmas songs this year. British girl band Girls Aloud made a version of the very traditional Jingle Bell Rock. It's a bit similiar to the version presented on the motion picture Mean Girls, but this has more...Girls Aloud into it. Nevertheless, it's a quite good version, so here's their performance of the song, as well as the mp3 ;)


Girls Aloud - Jingle Bell Rock


Also one of my favourites this year, the Pussycat Dolls' version of Eartha Kitt's classic Santa Baby. The song has been covered by a whole bunch of artists, such as Madonna, Kylie Minogue or even Calista Flockhart on Ally McBeal, but it was the Dolls' version that really got me into it. A version by Cynthia Basinet is most of the times mistakenly credited to having been sung by Marilyn Monroe, although Marilyn never recorded the song. Anyway, here you go, video and mp3!

Also so you can compare, here's other versions of the song :


Finally, we had some bad news today unfortunatly. The godfather of soul, James Brown, passed away today. Here's my tribute to him.

Merry Christmas (Part I)

Christmas finally arrived! And I couldn't possibily stop writing you this days... So, as I'm on a short break from my european tour, I can now close the votings of my Christmas poll. Earlier this month I started to ask you what was your favourite Christmas single. And out of 31 total votes Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You is the big winner with 32% of the votes. Last Christmas by Wham! earned second place with 19% of the votes, and in 3rd comes the Pussycat Dolls' version of Santa Baby with 16% of the votes. Songs by Ashanti, Jessica Simpson and N'Sync didn't got any votes, but they all celebrate Christmas in the end. You can check the whole voting charts in the end of this post. But I couldn't just tell you the winner and leave. Of course, you'll get my Christmas present today! To celebrate Mariah's victory, I'll leave you the three videos she made for the song (one of them a remix featuring Jermaine Dupri and Lil' Bow Wow), and also the oppurtunity to download the song, either if you want to pay or not... So, enjoy and until tomorrow!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!...
