This woman's voice is so terribly underrated and forgotten. I could listen to her sing kiddy pop and never get sick of it. One of the most beautiful and powerful voices of our time.
The most intense and incredible performance of a Christmas carol in TV history.... Goosebumps... im an atheist and this almost made me convert to Christianity 😂
she isnt done justice by this recording, its not accurate at all. Her voice and performance is much more beautiful than this, but you can see she did her best to made it work
This song from her new Christmas album is beyond INSANE. The more I listen it, the more I love it, but when it comes to see her performing it live, is just glorius heaven!!!
I am astonished. Until today, always exspected that it was the video that made all the trick. But actually, it is Annie's superior songwriting and performance that make me break out in goosebumps.
I LUV LUV LUV Annie so much! And this performance is so amazing! I watch it every single year throughout November/ December and even at other times during the year. I just love the drummer too, he’s so sexy! ❤❤❤
Her voice is enough to make a true believer out of an atheist. She is one of the very best female vocalists of the past fifty years. A voice that is powerful, melodic, and pitch-perfect all at once.
Annie did a great job on this, even though it's live. She's sang it very traditionally the way these old Christmas carols Should Be Sung. Written about 500 years ago and Europe. author still unknown.
How is it possible to not just LOVE Annie Lennox?! Such an incredibly powerful and resonant voice. Such a lovely, funny, generous woman. Rock on Ms. L!
The beauty of this song is that it subtley subverts the 'Christmas thing' back to it's pagan roots. Suggest you watch the video that goes with this song and you'll get it. The style is something like Breton music.
Actually 😂 she's atheist/agnostic, she said as much when the album was being released. She grew up singing these songs in church/school and loves them.
how awesome is it that the live version of this sounds just like the recorded :) great stuff! and I love the flute's melody in the background! it adds sooooo much!
You know what this song for me had grown so tired and I had heard it for soo many years (and sung it at Xmas) but, this woman's version has breathed new life and power into it as if I had heard for the first time the real lyrics (and in a way i had)! and it was wonderful, for me, the best version of my life! well done Annie! the video is awesome too!
No reason to put Christmas in scare quotes, it's definitely a Christmas carol...there's a "pagan" version going around but it was only created within like the last decade
***** Annie is a HIV/AIDS activist, and has raised money and awareness for HIV charities. I understood that t-shirt since people who are affected by this terrible syndrome are often (if now always) seen like the lepers were, back during the Jesus Christ years. So that t-shirt is a way to show respect and warmth to those people, who are unfairly seen as untouchable and often left out from society.
Andrea Calzoni Thanks :) I understood the last bit of your comment, about getting rid of the prejudices etc, I just didn't know why she was a part of it.
I miss Annie Lennox She so enriched, uplifted and stormed our sleepy heads with the brilliant tones, notes & voice projection non compare! wISHING (Oopse ignore the capitalization mistake)HER & HERS THE BEST OF THE YEAR 2021 AND ONWARDS, DESPITE AGINGS RUTHLESS DESTRUCTION OF ALL WE BUILD.
I love this also. She has an awesome voice. And I especially like the percussion instruments in this. I also love the video version where she is leading a cadre of musicians through the woods to a village. The setting and the characters are like something from a Dickens' novel.
Music and art can be interpreted or performed in many hundred different ways if he/she own great telent to do, Annie Lennox happen to be such a person.
forgot all about this gorgeous rendition of this christmas ditty she rocks this carol in tear listening to it it chilling. keep safe yaw'l drom blighty

Underrated ? LOL, have you seen the slew of awards she's received along her career ?
@@gfigueredo6108 yes but that doesnt mean that she gets the radio play she deserves.
Not forgotten very much present and active
Never EVER forgotten in any way
Never forgotten.
Rubbish,,never underrated and never forgotten,,
Pretty girl Annie Lennox Christmas songs rock-a-bye-and-bye.
And, a Happy Birthday to her on Christmas day.
The most intense and incredible performance of a Christmas carol in TV history.... Goosebumps... im an atheist and this almost made me convert to Christianity 😂
For the comfort and joy, right?
Comfort and joy!
These tidings are so glad, I feel it....
Go see her another version of this song there are lots of paganism stuffs in video.
"Glad tidings of comfort and joy" -said she with voice of thunder from the abyss.
I'm so sorry but I was wheezing when I read this 😂😂😂
Who needs a studio when you can sing like this live? What a wonderful, joyful version of this song!
so true
😀
she isnt done justice by this recording, its not accurate at all. Her voice and performance is much more beautiful than this, but you can see she did her best to made it work
God bless you Annie, you have aged gracefully and your voice is that is an Angel

Annie Lennox is simply astonishing-a true force of nature. I LOVE this!
Me too
Thought this would as fantastic and still is x
I love this. Im addicted to this, best version of this song. Better than the studio version. Could win Eurovision.
Aziza Alkan
You are soooo right! I love this. It's addicting isn't it?
I am blown away by her voice! It's awesome! At first I couldn't believe it was live.
Beautiful, powerful, thrilling to hear.
She is Great! And she is PLAYING this Carol! With all the Band.
I LUV LUV LUV Annie so much! And this performance is so amazing! I watch it every single year throughout November/ December and even at other times during the year. I just love the drummer too, he’s so sexy! ❤❤❤
Her voice is enough to make a true believer out of an atheist. She is one of the very best female vocalists of the past fifty years. A voice that is powerful, melodic, and pitch-perfect all at once.
Instead of O tidings of if comfort and joy it's Woah! Tidings of comfort and joy! Love it.
Still my favourite carol by my favourite singer.
Charles Damery no pentatonic did this song the best she isn’t as good and her vocals aren’t really the best or it may be the camera mic
Annie did a great job on this, even though it's live. She's sang it very traditionally the way these old Christmas carols Should Be Sung. Written about 500 years ago and Europe. author still unknown.
Only found this little gem this Christmas (2020) completely hooked, love it 💕
A voice that sweeps through your soul....love you Annie Lennox
I absolutely love her voice and the power of her presence. I listen to this song year round because it fills me with such energy
Annie, you are brilliant and baddass. Scottish pride. We will follow you out with our candles burning.
Kathleen Melee
Makes me wish I was Scottish.
Thank you Annie for your excellence! Long live Scotland!!!
And of course: Peter, Paul and Mary!!!! Good night!
Love you anne and your band and the guy with the flute
It's not a flute, it's a tin whistle 😉. And Lennox is as amazing as she could be...
Her voice is like a clarion call. I love it.
I have reasons to believe that I will listen to it on loop before Christmas time 'cause it's quite marvellous !
When she sings this song I cry like a baby,don’t ask me why.
How is it possible to not just LOVE Annie Lennox?! Such an incredibly powerful and resonant voice. Such a lovely, funny, generous woman. Rock on Ms. L!
This should be the live broadcast should be sounded like . a true voice power no autotune nor recorded background
✨✨WOW!
The Celtic Woman in me approves...heartily!
The beauty of this song is that it subtley subverts the 'Christmas thing' back to it's pagan roots. Suggest you watch the video that goes with this song and you'll get it.
The style is something like Breton music.
Annie does a great job, singing it very traditionally the way it's meant to be sung. Would like to see her do a lot more Christmas carols.
there is no auto tune here this is all here raw and live, amazing!
This is the most powerful Christian ✝️ song I have ever heard...TRUTH. thank you for sharing your saved soul with the world momma.
Actually 😂 she's atheist/agnostic, she said as much when the album was being released. She grew up singing these songs in church/school and loves them.
@@BigSplenda1885 that's a shame if it's true. She sings with all her heart. ❤️
I love her version of this song!
how awesome is it that the live version of this sounds just like the recorded :) great stuff! and I love the flute's melody in the background! it adds sooooo much!
Эта песня может стать гимном любой страны, спасибо что ты есть Annie!!!
Энергетика!!! 👏👏👏
I can only nick some other reviewers words - 'Power and Presence'. Brilliant, Annie, just brilliant.
You know what this song for me had grown so tired and I had heard it for soo many years (and sung it at Xmas) but, this woman's version has breathed new life and power into it as if I had heard for the first time the real lyrics (and in a way i had)! and it was wonderful, for me, the best version of my life! well done Annie! the video is awesome too!
Annie Lennox is awesome!
This rips so hard. What amazing harmonies
God appointed her to sing this song.
Your the best Annie, I can listen to this piece over and over.
Annie Lennox is my Goddess! This version of the "Christmas" classic is so incredibly powerful!
No reason to put Christmas in scare quotes, it's definitely a Christmas carol...there's a "pagan" version going around but it was only created within like the last decade
OMG…I’m so glad I chance found your video. Miss Lennox’s voice will always be in my heart forever! Thanks!
Just perfect!
Absolutely adore her! So talented and competent
I LOVE THIS VID
I Love Annie. God gave her a gift and I love that she wore that T-shirt as it demonstrates that God loves us all. HIV + or -.....
I don't really understand the t shirt. Do you fancy explaining it to me?
***** Annie is a HIV/AIDS activist, and has raised money and awareness for HIV charities. I understood that t-shirt since people who are affected by this terrible syndrome are often (if now always) seen like the lepers were, back during the Jesus Christ years. So that t-shirt is a way to show respect and warmth to those people, who are unfairly seen as untouchable and often left out from society.
Andrea Calzoni Thanks :) I understood the last bit of your comment, about getting rid of the prejudices etc, I just didn't know why she was a part of it.
Wunderbar
i got chills
That was so awesome!
Wow, powerfully sung. I love the music coupled with her strong performance.
Gorgeous woman! And the awesome band.
A masterpiece. Genius. Praise Jesus! Prayers.
Stunning!
I miss Annie Lennox She so enriched, uplifted and stormed our sleepy heads with the brilliant tones, notes & voice projection non compare! wISHING (Oopse ignore the capitalization mistake)HER & HERS THE BEST OF THE YEAR 2021 AND ONWARDS, DESPITE AGINGS RUTHLESS DESTRUCTION OF ALL WE BUILD.
I love this also. She has an awesome voice. And I especially like the percussion instruments in this. I also love the video version where she is leading a cadre of musicians through the woods to a village. The setting and the characters are like something from a Dickens' novel.
The video is fantastic! But it brings Thomas Hardy to mind more for me - country traditions and a peep of the pre-Christian. Love it.
@@helenparker4686 True. There was a small amount of the pre-Christian like from the time of Robin Hood.
She's a Svengali leading kids to the krampus
Love this version. Annie Lennox rocks
Music and art can be interpreted or performed in many hundred different ways if he/she own great telent to do, Annie Lennox happen to be such a person.
This version is like a war chant.
Новый год идёт! Время не остановить!!
SO brilliant and so REAL
This is Beyond Powerful /Great Performance
So Powerful! Merry Christmas ☃☃☃
forgot all about this gorgeous rendition of this christmas ditty she rocks this carol in tear listening to it it chilling. keep safe yaw'l drom blighty
She is far too pure to have come from this plane of existence.
Here in 2021 listening to this still!!
Powerful version!
wow!!! how good is this live version?
OH ANNIE I LUV YOU!!!
I 'm surprised that I haven't worn out my copy of Christmas Cornucopia - I play it more than any other holiday album. It's just so darn great!
wow...what a great version!!!
Astounding! Gawd bless us, everyone of us.
Мощно!Super!
The best version of God ye... and is 12 years old???! Where did the time go
SHE MUST BELIEVE IN GOD IN ORDER TO SING LIKE THAT THIS SONG
Her style of doing this song is so metal.
it's amazing! I love Annie
Sorry to necro a thread, but I love that she really belts it out around celebrating a pagan Christmas, rather than the Christian one.
Wow!!!
Awesome!!!
Excelente!!
Now this is a rock n roll Christmas! Fantastic ☆☆☆☆☆
Amo as músicas da Annie 😍 Brasil here ☝️😍
Annie you are soooo Beautiful 💓
its strong and cool music yyyeeeeaaa!!!!
Stunning!!!! Wow, thanks.
My applause too... bravo!
You can tell in her eyes that she's imagining some diff place and when I saw the video it was AHA! THAT PLACE! lol it fit so well
this is power
Love it!
Love this!
How have i only just found this.
Annie Lennox simplemente GENIAL. Su música es un arruyo a mis oídos.
I would literally listen to her read her grocery list.
yes Yes YES ! ! ! Burnin like a Virtual Yule Log...th Sun is Re-turning
Astounding.
Respekt Thank you for originality.
she is amazing
Молодец Аня
As much as I like Annie Lennox her version of this song is rather somber... fits more a horror movie than a Xmas album
Good observation, but I think that is perfect because of what was to come at the crucifixion and before the resurrection
@@TheLionTheLambRom1221 so, Xmas should be a somber time filled with sadness and fear?
so epic
