Christmas Music Round-up

It's a week till Christmas today (seems to have come round quick again!), so this week's post is festive themed. :)

Back in 2018 I wrote a post called Christmas Music, featuring previous posts with Christmas videos and sharing some songs not previously posted. You can see that here (heavy on Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande!): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2018/12/christmas-music.html

For 2021 I'm sharing Christmas songs posted in the last 3 years, plus some new ones. :)

Mariah Carey, Khalid and Kirk Franklin- Fall in Love At Christmas

My favourite singer Mariah Carey loves Christmas and her song All I Want for Christmas Is You is a modern classic!  For the 2nd year in a row, she is having a TV Christmas show. Following the success of last year's Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas Special, this year she is hosting Mariah's Christmas: The Magic Continues which premiered on Apple TV+ on 3rd December.

Unfortunately, if you don't have Apple TV+ (like me) then you can't see it. :( But you can see a trailer here: https://www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2021/11/apple-tv-and-mariah-carey-unveil-trailer-for-holiday-spectacular-mariahs-christmas-the-magic-continues-set-to-debut-globally-on-friday-december-3/

Mariah's latest single is Fall in Love at Christmas which features singer Khalid and choir director and gospel singer Kirk Franklin. It was released on 5th November and was featured on The Magic Continues. Her twins Monroe and Moroccan appear in the video, which was actually directed by Mariah and her boyfriend choreographer/dancer Bryan Tanaka. (You may remember him from her show Mariah's World!) :)

Stray Kids- 24 to 25

Now for some K-pop! This is 24 to 25 by Korean boyband Stray Kids. It's from their holiday special single album Christmas EveL, which was released on 29th November. The other songs on the single album are lead single (and title track) Christmas EveL and Winter Falls, and Domino (English version).

24 to 25 is a sweet song about spending Christmas with a loved one,  a message to the fans who are called "STAYS" (the fandom name is STAY). Click "Subtitles/Closed Captions" for English subtitles! :)

 



Christmas EveL

If you're not feeling too festive, check the video for the title track Christmas EVeL ("Christmas Evil" instead, which is more of an "anti-Christmas" song!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57n4dZAPxNY

 

Winter Falls  

And here is a Winter Falls, a song about reflecting on a break-up during the winter season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4qK-Gzyws0

 

Hope you liked the post! Merry Christmas/Happy Festive season (depending on what you celebrate!). :)

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
