Well, tis the season and with it comes my usual rant regarding Christmas music. I thought I would bring this up to see if anyone has the same or similar issues that I do.
First of all, I love Christmas music and we have a radio station that plays continuous Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Day. So on the way to and from work, I listen to Christmas music. Tonight on the way home, I was listening to "Do You Hear What I Hear", which was just beautiful. My radio displays a crawler that tells the name of the song and who sings it. This particular version was by Whitney Houston. When I saw that, I was thinking, "uh oh, here it comes", and it did.
What started off as a very beautiful version of the song ended with a complete vocal mutilation which rendered the song virtually unrecognizable in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, Whitney Houston has a great voice, but when she does this oooooeeeeeeee waaaaahhhh and shouts lyrics like, "SAID THE SHEPHERD BOY TO THE MIGHTY KING, HEY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW.......wahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa, YEAH, MIGHTY KING.....", it completely ruins the experience for me.
I'm probably missing the point of this offkey shout/singing insert your own version into the mix, but I have to say, it makes me think these singers experience a massive brain fart, and so have completely forgotten the lyrics, the tune, the whole point of the song.
Anyone else have this issue with Christmas music?

The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
