Sorry the 2nd post is later this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. I do aim to post on Fridays or Saturdays, but some weeks it's later and that's ok. :) It's nearly the end of 2025, so here is my round-up of the best posts from the year! :) You can see my previous Best Of posts (dating back to 2016) at the links below:  2016's Best Of:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2016/12/best-of-2016.html   2017's:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2017/12/best-of-2017.html 2018's: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/12/best-of-2018.html 2019's:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/12/best-of-2019.html 2020's: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/12/best-of-2020.html 2021's: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2022/01/best-of-2021.html 2022's: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/01/best-of-2022.html 2023's:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/12/best-of-2023.html 2024's: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2024/1...

Today is Christmas Eve, so this week's video is another festive themed one! :) (Last week's was Tobii's X Mas Love .) It's Jingle Bell Rock by Filipino girl group 4th Impact  (also stylised as 4TH IMPACT). Side note: 2025 has been a milestone year for the sisters, who celebrated their 10th anniversary as a group in August. Their celebrations consisted of a new single, Bet You Never and an anniversary concert in Los Angeles, California. Jingle Bell Rock is 4th Impact's latest single. It's a cover of the classic song , originally released by American country singer Bobby Helms back in November 1957. It's been very popular every Christmas since (in the US in particular) and has been covered by other artists, most notably by American singer  Brenda Lee in October 1964. The video premiered on 12th December.      4th Impact fan? Check out these links: Music video for their debut US single Distorted (released in 2023): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2024/05/wee...

It's only 5 days till Christmas (seems to have come round quickly again!), so it's time for another festive themed post! Last year I wrote a post called Christmas Entertainment!

It's a mixture of music and dance. :)   Music Tobii- X Mas Love Thai/Swiss rapper and R'n'B singer  Tobii's  X Mas Love was this week's Weekly Music Video.

It's just over a week till Christmas so today's video is festive themed. :) This is X mas Love by Thai/Swiss rapper and R'n'B singer Tobii .

X mas Love is a sexy R'n'B song about being with your lover at Christmas! It's a mixture of Thai and English lyrics and was written and composed by Tobii.
