Boardsies Decide - The Greatest Christmas Song... EVER

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Sbeast - Walking In The Air (Metal Cover) ; my nom and any version of Walking In The Air is great

Eels - Everything's Gonna Be Cool This Christmas ; both are good, but really like this one

Marilyn Monroe - Santa Baby ; even if it wasn't up against such a monstrosity, this'd get my vote

Twisted Sister - Oh Come All Ye Faithful ; rock covers of Christmas Carols are generally pretty good, and outside of a few exceptions the most bearable Christmas music

Purgative

King's College Cambridge - Ding Dong Merrily on High
At the risk of revealing my secret identity, I sang this on TV on Christmas Day - not that recently


Judy Garland - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Marilyn Monroe - Santa Baby
Twisted Sister - Oh Come All Ye Faithful

M33 - I was 100% voting for walking in the air without even listening to the song. Just the title alone had my approval. But King's College Cambridge is just magnifico! I can imagine the atmosphere in the room with them singing that song. Very happy to choose that over one of my favourite songs
M34 - Judy Garland
M35 - Marilyn Monroe (love this song, & not just voting for it so I don't have to vote for Ronan Keating)
M36 - Ike and Tina

Children singing freaks me out... If this was Most Terrifying Song Ever it'd be in contention for me...

Ooh good call. I'll have to check that out ..




Edit: wowser Liz im digging that! Considering I sing this song whether its Halloween or June because I love it so much. If anyone ever questions why I'm singing a Christmas song at random throughout the year, I'll direct them to this version instead

Sbeast - Walking In The Air (Metal Cover) 5 8 King's College Cambridge - Ding Dong Merrily on High
Judy Garland - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas 11 2 Eels -  Everything's Gonna Be Cool This Christmas
Ronan Keating and Moya Brennan - Fairytale of New York 1 13 Marilyn Monroe - Santa Baby
Ike and Tina Turner: Merry Christmas Baby 5 8 Twisted Sister - Oh Come All Ye Faithful

Ronan avoids the whitewash but it's sayonara anyways. Judy Garland advances to an interesting same song runoff....

Twisted Sister come back from 5-3 down to take the last tie and the boyos from King's College advance to Round 1 alongside them.
