    O Holy Nite # the angels flutter in the heavens when Diana sings #

    11. O Holy Night: One of the more challenging holiday songs, this is one often taken on by singers with a showy, powerful, explosive vocal style, like Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston. It’s hard to beat Mariah’s version of the song; the track on her Merry Christmasalbum [[also released in 1994) is truly a vocal wonder, and the gospel-inspired arrangement is sublime. Still, Diana Ross does well with the holiday carol; her performance here is strong and heartfelt; it’s far less bombastic than most recent recordings of the song. Miss Ross doesn’t shy away from the higher notes, and she sounds very full-bodied when going for the highest, on the word “night” at 3:42. The classical arrangement here is well-done, though I prefer the more soulful version on Miss Carey’s CD.

    You can almost hear the flitter/flutter of the angels wings every time her songs are played.

    Tell me about it!!. Those heavenly angel wing flutters can prove a hell of a problem at times. They certainly play havoc with my side parting....Pass me the moulding clay.

    I strongly believe that you are Ebenezer Scrooge @ The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice." Towards the end of the novella, the three spirits show Scrooge the error of his ways, and he becomes a better, more generous man. Merry Christmas you old blanket he blank blank
