Music Review: Holiday Music

Music Review

by Viann Whatley, 704 These are the top five Christmas songs and reasons why they should be on your Christmas playlist starters.

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" - by Mariah Carey.

The wonderful song of Christmas joy and love was done by the very popular and iconic singer. “All I want for Christmas is you” is a song you probably have heard before, and it has been playing in many different places due to the upcoming wintery holidays. This song embraces the symbol of love with a Christmasy tone.

"Last Christmas" - by Wham! This song displays the emotion of Christmas love and heartbreak. This shows us the love of a person over the span of two Christmases. This song is nice for any holiday party, though it is mostly Christmasthemed.

"Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)" - by Darlene Love. This song is amazing, lovely, and lively. The wish is for one to come back for this joyous holiday. This song has a whole choir as background singers, and the main singer has a lovely high and jazzy voice.

"Jingle Bell Rock" - by Bobby Helms You might have heard this song many times, but around the world, millions of people agree that Helm's version is the best and most recognized recording of this song. It is a very uplifting song that isn’t too harsh for the ears. The beginning sounds like Santa Claus is coming close to the house. This is something Santa might listen to on repeat while giving gifts.

"Feliz Navidad" - by José Feliciano This song is an iconic song known by most in our generation. It has a Spanish and English part, and it is so upbeat. This song is absolutely great for any party, a holiday celebration or just any normal jumping party. Adios and make sure to have a próspero año y felicidad.
