Title: 'All I Want for Christmas' in minor key
Post by: Cindy on December 11, 2015, 11:13:49 AM

Listening to this gives me the same reaction as though hearing nails on a chalkboard! What are your thoughts? (Side note: I wonder what Mariah Carey's reaction is/was when hearing it). :o

Made it to 1:17. Had enough! Not very entertaining.

I had to stop listening before it finished, too. Definitely not my idea of a nice Christmas song. ;)

Well, it is their interpretation of a classic.  It is not one that I like, did not like the moment he started singing. then it went kaboom for me.

Only one thing came to mind when I heard it:  "Bah, humbug..."

thanks for sharing cindy 8)

kind of reminds me of this song (but this one still sounds 'cheerful')

i liked it -
it's different & i've heard other interpretations of other songs,
transposed or done with a slower, more methodical tempo

imho, just like if everyone played the same guitar,
life would be pretty boring without the unconventional

ymmv

Lol--the song you posted was MUCH more entertaining to watch--and it has a lively beat to it, too! :) Kind of reminded me of Halloween. ;)
