CeeLo Green could sing almost anything and I’d like it, because he has the voice of an angel, but he had the Christmas Eve spot the year we had twenty four different versions of White Christmas (of which more to come), so this year I’m giving him a nice early slot. Do you know that both this and Last Christmas were once, before I knew better, among my least favourite Christmas songs? I don’t know what was wrong with me, but at least I grew out of it.

Advent song for December 17: Mary, Did You Know?
Technically this song dates from 1991, but since this version of it is from 2012 it’s allowed. There’s a version by Pentatonix, whom we heard from last week with That’s Christmas To Me, which has a better video, but this version by CeeLo Green is my pick because his voice is just soaringly beautiful, it’s a better and more interesting arrangement and because at 2:24 it goes full Live And Let Die, which is what you probably, and I definitely, need on a chilly December Monday.
White Christmas, December 21: CeeLo Green
I know this is late, but it was worth the wait. How have I never realised what a terrific voice CeeLo Green has? I love this big glitzy Vegas version, and I love how happy everyone performing it is. Also, Las Vegas is totally Christmassy, because of Father Christmas Goes On Holiday.
