“This Christmas” – Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera is arguably one of the best vocalists of our generation, and how would we live if she had never released any Christmas music with that booming voice of hers? Thankfully, we don’t need to answer that question because she released her own Christmas album back in 2000, My Kind of Christmas. The album was certified platinum by RIAA, and her single, “The Christmas Song,” landed in the Top 20 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Plenty of her covers make their comeback every holiday season, and I am definitely not complaining!
The album features her belting out standards like “O Holy Night” and “Angels We Have Heard on High” that highlight her superstar vocals, but she has a bit more fun on songs like “This Christmas.” The song has horns blasting and bells twinkling in the background to make sure you know it’s Christmastime as she sings about how excited she is for this year’s holiday season with her man.
Honestly, she just has that voice that could absolutely slay any Christmas standard. Could you imagine having someone like her in your church choir? That would make Christmas Eve mass a lot more interesting! Maybe I wouldn’t be falling asleep or making crude jokes the whole time if I could focus on a voice like that…
