Year-round Yuletide oddities
AI squirrels around the idea of a “Christmas Rodeo” until we get a mischievous exploration of elf downtime. Electronic country pop supposedly by Trinity Jones.
In “Santa’s Rodeo Dream” AI hoots and hollers the country rock so know what bronc busting must feel like. Epic Powers Potion goes for it.
Sandra Tingalay gets quieter (with harmonica) for a better AI “Rodeo Christmas.” Recognizably country western.
Another Sunday Afternoon makes merry metaphor of “The Christmas Show.” This indie likens all of Winter’s splendor to a production. Snowmen assemble!
Likewise, Jingle Bots compares all the hullabaloo of the holidays to “The Christmas Show.” Big band, though AI. And the crowd goes tender and mild.
SingIt Pop uses the lights strung and blinking for their “Electric Christmas Show.” Pop with a heavy beat. EDM even.
The Holiday Voices bebop the “High School Christmas Musical” life over caffeinated, hyper sugary teens we expect. Emerging talent.
“Footprints in the Snow” has something to do with a Christmas show. But Kaneidog (feat. Babs) uses more AI than sense for me in this shrill pop.
Mary J. Blige soothes the R+B with “Christmas in the City.” Mandatory for NYC Xmas is a show at Radio City Music Hall.
Edgy Productions addresses thank yous for attending the Christmas Show. “Yours Sincerely” is rhythmic kid rock that fills the bill.
One of those wacky nuns in ‘Nuncrackers’ belts out “All I Want for Christmas” is a one night stand at Carnegie Hall. Practice practice practice, goes the joke.
AI attempts an awkward performance when “Santa’s in the Christmas Play.” OG R’n’R from Richie and the Rockets.
An easy-to-follow how-to, “Caroling with Friends” is Tiny Tunes and Tales smooshing pop into kidsong. Now you know.
The Cheeky Monkeys up the kidsong ante with “A Caroling We Go.” It’s an invitation as well as a song.
AI assists The Jingle Belles with the kidsong bebop of “Joyful Caroling.” Caffeinated, baby!
No law says to the Christmas singers have to be dull as dirty snow. Let’s have fun with the choir.
Asking you to join the Christmas choir, Ester Brohus jacks gospel into the bluegrass “When It’s Christmas.” More interactive, more joyful.
More melodic, Patti Page makes a round out of her “Christmas Choir.” 1955 pop. More dizzy for me.
Seemingly unimpressed, Lennon and pj plonk their way through another indie observation of late December. Choirs are just another unavoidable incursion. Fun drinking game, every time they sing “Its christmas” take a drink–of milk! Look, i dunno if they’re horsing around here, but i dig this.
Sad and alone, Amelie Jat cheesies the pop of “Christmas Before.” None of that stuff matters now. When she hears the choir, she won’t look for you at her front door. I guess the opposite happened regularly or something the love police should look into.
Christmas choirs singing/But my heart feels cold tonight, complain Boogie, Beats’n BBQ (feat. Alice Menotti Monro). “The Ghost Of Us (Only You)” is AI country pop of whispering whimpering.
Also The Marijanovic mopes in sniffling, dramatic pop about missing his “Christmas Kiss.” The choirs will be happy, but he won’t. So there.
Lovelorn Jonathan Meur indie moans that the choirs are mere echoes when hanging out in Manhattan, during “December By The Isle Of You.” Fancy wordplay for a Frenchman.
Busted up, Jonny Phillips cries out how the choirs through Zoom don’t help. This is just “Another Kind Of Christmas.” Pandemic messed with this poor boy. Emotive pop.
Muy tragic, Nathan Samuel gasps out how The Christmas choirs/Ain’t singing “NOT this year.” This is pretty tragic missing you stuff. Kinda folk.
Angry agendas are hidden in “Wise Men from the East.” Timi Tamminen copies and mocks all the headlines from the 2020s, like Ayatollah Khamenei joins the Christmas choir. War time! Amusingly pedestrian punk pop.
Oddly impersonating ‘Wonderful World,’ Astrid Allegra’s “A Wonderful Time” notes all the fixtures of the holidays, including choirs natch. Pleasant parody.
The “Christmas Day Care Choir (Falala)” from The Crying Day Care Choir questions the validity of the Xmas icons. By whose Authority! Fun folk sing-along.
“Fairytale of New York” features a choir of NYPD cops serenading the drunk tank, and we’ve heard that before. BUT… have we heard it from Gregorian (the chant group)? Well, sadly, we’ve heard the rock background before. Wish they’d lose that.
On the other alto, “Christmas Without a Choir” is not like Christmas at all. Chris Avison carries on with the easy listening to posit his logic. It takes a while.
I guess you don’t have to alive to celebrate. The “Spectral Christmas Choir“–according to AI–or at least Girard, conjure carols from the grave. Now the zombies, take the pop chorus!
