More Christmas Music (and a Josh Groban reference)

The great thing about music, even Christmas music, is its diversity. For example, Josh Groban has a new Christmas album out and it is doing gangbusters in sales. Deservedly so, because even if you don't particularly care for his pop albums, in the Christmas music genre, "Noel" is the best major label Christmas album from a male singer this century (young as it is).

If you like your Christmas music performed with a little soul, while still staying true to the traditional melody, check out this live performance of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," by Justin Guarini at the Christmas at Bright Hope Concert in Philadelphia from 2006.

While Josh can be compared to Julie Andrews (because of the voice, people, the voice), Justin can be compared to Nat King Cole. No one's Christmas music collection would be complete without both stylings.

On a completely different note, check out this funny video. Someone took one of those My Scene dolls that was a clear rip-off of Justin's look, and made a stop-action video to The Click Five's song, "My Girlfriend Forgot Me This Christmas." The video is very well done and obviously took a lot of work to make. Kudos! (Only unfortunate thing is that embedding has been disabled for some reason.)
