And now for some more songs. :)



Mariah Carey- All I Want For Christmas Is You

Mariah's 1994 single All I Want For Christmas Is You (from her first Christmas album Merry Christmas) is a classic Christmas song. It's thought to be the best selling modern day Christmas song! I like it but it's one of these that are played so much I get overload! lol. (Feel the same about Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On!).

 I do also like the remix and the newer version with Justin Bieber (see above for links). Thought I would include the original in this post because it's a classic! :) Watch it below:



And this is the Extra Festive version from Mariah's second Christmas Album Merry Christmas II You (2010). It doesn't sound a whole lot different though.



GOT7- Miracle

Miracle is Korean boyband GOT7's latest single. It's from their re-released 3rd studio album Present: YOU &Me which came out on 3rd December.  Miracle has a Christmas/winter themed video.

Click "Subtitles/Closed captions"  to see an English translation of the lyrics. (Better viewed directly on YouTube).  :)



Christina Aguilera- This Christmas

Here is This Christmas from Christina's 2000 Christmas album, My Kind Of Christmas. I hadn't heard a lot of the songs on here. This is a good one. :)



EXO- The First Snow

I'll end with another K-pop Christmas song! It's The First Snow by EXO-K (the Koren contingent of Korean/Chinese boy group EXO. The song is from their 2nd EP Miracles in December which was released in December 2013, and features Christmas and winter themed songs.

The video has Korean lyrics (Hangul), Romanisation and English. :)




Hope you like the post and it helps get you in the mood for Christmas! :)

I will do another Christmas themed post next week. For now check out these links:

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences.  The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
