What do you think of Bey’s selections?
I actually like several of the songs she chose..
Celine Dion´s Xmas album is stunning too! Those vocals… omg like the voice of God or something.
I´m glad it is in fact the second biggest Xmas album ever after Mariah Carey´s 🙂
Voice of God, are you talking about Karen Karpenter? 😀
Carpenter 😀
LOL Hey you! wow I got 7 thumbs up and 7 thumbs down. What was so controversial in my comment? Celine Dion? LOL Some people here are bitter about who are regarded as the most successful singers ever, and as the best singers too. They really think these girls often mentioned in this blog can compete with teh two I mentioned 🙂
PS: Karen is great.
I hate christmas songs with the exception of ‘Last Christmas’, the good thing on Beyonce’s playlist are the artists (The Jackson 5 tho) not the songs. 😀
All i want for xmas and joy to the world( but mariah’s version)
Mariah’s version of Joy to the World is nice but Whitney’s version took it to Church! Amen!! Hallelujah!!! Lol
that tree looks awful. too busy
Whitney and Mariah are not her contemporaries, they’re her influences. Big difference.
Good picks of course someone talented like her has good taste
Great playlist, all of my fav’s. Bey knows. I can’t stand any Christmas songs by Celine Dion, no soul.
Yes Bey! U betta pay homage to the greats!! Love you QUEEN.
*MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY*! Cheers~
I feel Christmas songs are too corny for me but she did pick some great songs. Have you guys ever wondered what songs are on an artists iPod or library? That would be interesting to hear about
Girl bye, you sound stupid #hoodrat
This why queen bey is loved by God good people and we her fans she is kindiest star ever I love all her play list God bless protect her for life
I’m suprised the lamb aren’t coning for bey for not making her #1 lmaooooooo
It’s a playlist. The flow is very important. Maybe AIWCY is her #1, but the playlist flows better with it being in the 4th slot.
POOF HUNNIE GET A LIFE. Mariah has the number one Xmas cd of all time and the biggest selling single of all time; and your fave COULD NEVER. Beyonce has lost all class and has to sell her cd by having s** ON A CHAIR. Trash.
To Tell u lunatics again beyonce music is all FORGETTABLE. Mariah’s classic will be played 30 years from now. POW
Whitney’s Do You Hear What I Hear. I loveeee that song!
All I Want for Christmas is You used to be my favorite holiday song until I realized how much more amazing Mariah’s other Christmas songs are.

Whitney , Need I Say More. Vocal perfection . Everybody Sang Joyyyyyyy To The World
Yes!! Whitney’s take on Joy to the World took it to Church right?!?! lol
Nice choices! Love Christmas songs! Though I prefer Christina Aguilera version of have yourself a merry little christmas 🙂
I love Christina hard core I do however even I have to admit that, that Christmas album “My Kind of Christmas” had way too many runs lol. Beyoncé proba got dizzy listening to it lol. Her version of HYAMLC is scaled back compared to other songs on that album. However it came out when she first came out so she had to prove to the industry that she can SANG lol. But compared to then she has really toned it down a great deal. Can’t wait to see her on The Voice and see what ever #Fireand Fun bring 🙂
It did have a lot of runs. But her version of HYAMLC is amazing. 🙂
I love Christmas songs. The Jackson 5 Christmas album is VERY good. Along with Elvis Presley’s.
Yaaaaasss Bey. Whitney, Aretha, Mariah. I love some of those songs
In other news, The Pink Print by Onika Maraj didn’t sell 201K first week, it actually sold 194K.
Any list w/o This Christmas seems incomplete.
Attention seeker.
Who cares…
True story , I was enjoying my Xmas playlist until the dc christmas song came on talking about my baby got for me and it became crystal clear that from the onset beyonce and conwere used, and she is still at it, to usher in filth, self hate, materialism etc
Her so called vocal talent is questionable seeing that she did not showcase if at the greTest live event possible , kudos for marines calling her fakery out
You can’t have it both ways, but with morons you can, she squandered whatever vocal respect due her when she choked at the insugurTion, Kelly didn’t
Beyonce is a fake that I wish y’all would stop worshipping, it sets a bad example to our youth to elevate such a empty vessel clad in her white supremacy
Ertha Santa Baby= Ashanti sang an Amazing version of Santa baby on the view live…..beyonce could never sing a song like thi bec her voice so deep n husky listen to her covergirl comercial when she try’s to sound s*** its cringing to hear lol……But great Classic Remake Ashanti very s*** feminin and soultry voice 😉
That’s right she better include a Kelly song after Kelly showed her ass up at the Inauguration.
