    The song itself is a classic but that fcukin troll singing anything is a joke.
    He's ruined wayyyy too many songs and I think it's only fair if we put him down.
    Like when a dog keeps barking and making noise he needs to be put down.
    Well Ronan Keating voice is worse than any dog barking

    Oh my god! I can't top that! The thing about Fairytale of Newyork is that it's a story and with Shane mc gowan and kirstie mc call is that the characters are believeable and you can hear the chemistry between the two in the song.

    Ronan s version is like some embarrassing dad trying to sound like Shane mc gowan!

    That is a great Christmas song! We've talked about it on another thread. It's one of the best modern ones.

    It doesn't get the credit it deserves.

    Does that stupid song from Frozen count? If so, that's my call.

    If not, Ronan Keating murdering "Fairytale of New York" defo gets my vote!

    I disagree. The Darkness were a parody band who were taking the p*ss and I think they'll admit to as much years from now.

    I thought that Grandma got run over by a reindeer was the worst Christmas song ever ... until I heard this drivel:

    That song is a perfect mix and has all the techniques of a great Christmas song.

    its fun, cool melody, rock, heartbreak, bells, carollers! You couldn't ask for more.

    Second vote here for Christmas Shoes. I'd actually never heard of it until I read about it in the Christmas forum. I looked it up then and at first thought it was a pisstake. It's horrific!

    The Darkness are fantastic.

    Permission To Land is one of my favourite albums ever. Top five, no question.

    This a Destiny's Child song is unbelievably bad and the self absorption of the members of band is something to behold.I absolutely hate it.

    for many reasons my main one being it's NOT a christmas song, not once do the lyrics mention the word "Christmas" "jolly" or "holy" yes there is fake snow in the video but seriously that makes it a winter song.

    in fact ANY song that makes it to no1 at christmas is not by default "a christmas song" imo

    Last Christmas is a Christmas song, fairytale of new york is a christmas song, but East 17 stay another day is NOT a Christmas song! :mad:

    "Stay Another Day" is definitely a Christmas song and a great one at that.

    i don't know sounds like he lives too close to a church to me! they are no jingle bells!

    another example would be the x-factor tripe, and then you see them at no.3 in the christmas chart countdowns and it's infuriating! they are failures at being christmas songs imo

    Saw an interview with Tony from E17 who wrote the song about his brother who died. The part of the song "I touch your face while you are sleeping" is actually about seeing his brother in the mortuary. Very sad song

    i am not saying it's not sad, thats another of my reasons for not liking it, i heard that too and it just depressed me, but it is one of the worst christmas songs,
