Songs Of Praise.

as above earlier today. susan boyle sang really well.......I cant remember the male singer who sang near the end, never been a fan of his, ruined a lovely carol.

[anneasquith]

Michael ball.

[factor-fiction]

Michael Ball. I was very surprised to see Oh Holy Night had been voted as the nation's favourite carol. Who votes for these? Where was Once In Royal David's City or Away in a Manger

[Fanriffic]

That was probably Michael Ball - not very good was he. Overrated wind bag.
I always think that song/carol sounds better when sung by a woman. Have a listen to 'O Holy Night' by Martina McBride.

[Ann]

No Michael Crawford sings that carol far better than anyone I have ever heard.:)

Yes love Il Divo Cupid ...... Have you been to your Carol service today?

[cupid04]

Yes thank you. Thoroughly enjoyed it. x

[Ann]

Yes ours tonight was great too Cupid, I said a lovely Christmas poem, all 14 verses!!!! Hubby did a reading .............

[cupid04]

Mine did a reading last week but I was poorly and missed it.

[Ann]

Night night, must go to bed now, got tons to do tomorrow ..................xx

[cupid04]

Goodnight Ann.

Thank you,Ann.I've just logged in and listened to Michael Crawford -thoroughly enjoyed it.I love that carol-it brings back memories of the Christmas concerts held in our local hospital.One of the receptionists sang it -what a beautiful voice she had.What was the name of the Christmas poem you recited,please?

[cecil39]

Martina McBride? who the heck is she? must be the worst "singer" I've ever heard, surely no one would voluntarily listen to that awful racket, was she dunk?

[grumpy01]

Michael Ball has a tendency to shout when he is singing.

[Fanriffic]

That live version posted by Ann ^^^^^^ above doesn't do it justice, it's rubbish but the studio version is better. She's a Country Western singer if you didn't know her. The Frank Spencer version is also good.

[quinie]

Yes,Fanriffic,that version is much better.

[anneasquith]

Michael crawfords version was good, I love to hear it sung by children.
