hestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa’s on his way;
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother’s child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I’m offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you

It’s okay. There were some shaky parts and I can understand her being nervous. But I do believe that she did good. Much better than I expected. And you’re right, there were some concert videos I saw where I think she did much better singing live. But if she keeps doing this, she’ll just improve more.

So Van, practise practise practise.

Boy i leave to have dinner and you guys have fun without me?

Ellie, yes those jaguarmundis certainly do get around.

kkc0606, thanks for holding the door shut as long as you could.

“Angels We Have Heard On High”

Angels we have heard on high
sweetly singing o’er the plains
and the mountians in reply
echoing their joyous strains
Gloria In Excelsius Deo [2x]

Shepheards why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Come to Behlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ our Lord, the new born king
Gloria In Excelsius Deo [4x]

Vanessa did a good job.. but man while i was watching
i thought she was moving so much.. but then it might be because she learned to do that from HSM.
Either way she sings well and katherine mcphee has such a nice voice!

Katharine’s and Ne-yo’s voices are amazing. I don’t like V’s at all. It’s pretty anoying. And her moves were really weird.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL V SUPPORTERS!!!! LOVE U GUYS MUAXXXX

I like Vanessa…but she wasn’t that great. I thought her voice could have sounded better. There were some parts that sounded a lil flat. She wasn’t bad….but she wasn’t good either.

For a 19 year old girl,Vanessa sang it well.May Peace be with you this Christmas!No more hating please.Vanessa already apologized for that mistake.She is now moving forward.Katherine has a more mature voice.but in time i’m sure Vanessa will develop too as she matures and keeps on doing her training.

You know, reading these threads give me a good indication of why the world is in the shape it is now. It’s filled with people who hate, and hate for no particular reason at all.

No wonder people are fighting all over, they can’t be happy about anything except making others miserable. It’s a sad state of affairs.

I wonder what these haters parent’s are like. Are they that angry with the world that they have passed it on to their children. How awful to go through life making people miserable. Can you say “Grinch”? I know my kids aren’t like that, and neither am I.

chris, you obviously have no clue about the world of teenagers. You’re talking about 1 picture that was realeased by someone vile. You have no idea what they do to each other these days if they’re jealous. We can thank reality TV for that kind of trash. I work with teens…..trust me, a pic is not uncommon these days. Plus, that is such old news…..why do you feel the need to keep rehashing it when she’s trying to put herself back together after all that? This was a nice affair for her to perform at, and I think she did beautifully. I guess you believe everyone who makes a mistake should crawl under a rock and forget about living .

And all of you comparing voices, you’re ridiculous. They all have very different singing styles and voices. NeYo did well for him, Katherine did fine for her, and Vanessa did great for her. No comparisons should be made.

all of you that are jumping on the vanessa bandwagon, where were you when her last c.d. drop? obviously, not a fan or it wouldn’t have flopped - LMAO!

like I said…Kat did wonderful too. It’s just that she ruined it in the end. She sounded really flat. but hey…you’re comparing Kat who’s geared as a singer, versus Van who’s really just starting and is branching out in different areas. But yeah, hopefully…Vanessa will have more confidence and more experience like Kat has and become a solid singer and performer.

kudos to the both of them.

i’ll hold it as long as i can narf but these haters are out of control!! haha i’m very glad to keep it open for the supporters though!!
troy i totally agree with you!!! i think that people need to stop bringing up vanessa’s past and let her live her life…after all it is her life!!! :)

Those posting who think Katharine sounded better than Vanessa need to listen a little closer. Runs do not make one sound so great. Simon hates when people do all those runs in a song. Most of the time people who use a lot of runs do so because they can not maintain the correct pitch. Vanessa didn’t do a lot of runs. She also had larger ear pieces in so I wonder if the runs were throwing her off in practice.
just my observation.

moviemadness @ 12/13/2007 at 7:21 pm

I’m sorry but you Vanessa fans are either tone deaf or just too in love with her to notice, but she was NOT good…at all. To be fair, neither was Katherine McPhee

Everyone has different types of voices and singing styles so try not to compare them. Also Vanessa’s Album did not flop it sold Gold on only Disney promo and she has sold the most out of all the HSM casts solo Albums.

JUST AMAZIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUV YA BABY V! U ROCK HONN! JUST AMAZIN!

love v! i thought she did great but prolly not the best she could have been! but give her a break she was probably nervous i mean singing in front of the president??

Things I found funny: (1) The GROUP singing was horrible, horrible!; (2) Katherine sang Donny Hathaway’s version “This X-Mas”, Bing Crosby’s version wasn’t available? (lol); and (3) Vanessa is TOO SEXUAL - she tries to come off as cute, but it comes off as SEXUAL - not a good look - NO WONDER SHE TOOK NAKED PICS FOR A NOBODY AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE - LMAO! Overall, Ne-Yo could’ve done the show alone or with Mrs. Bush for what I just watched.

Get over the photo everybody needs to move on, it is old news.

The Internet “scandal” over pictures of Vanessa Hudgens was overblown and an invasion of her privacy, says actress Olesya Rulin, Hudgens’ co-star in the High School Musical series.

“I think what gets confused in the media is that everyone is as personal as the day, and we are not our characters, and we are older than we portray.”

The 21-year-old Rulin plays Kelsi Nielsen in the musicals. In interviews for this week’s DVD debut of High School Musical 2: Extended Edition — which includes behind-the-scenes looks at the co-stars in rehearsals — Rulin says there is a problem in having the public pay too much attention to the private lives of performers.

“I think there is a lot of danger in that. I learned that first-hand. I went to the zoo and some of my personal pictures got on to the Internet.”

Without mentioning Hudgens by name, Rulin says the scandal was no different: “At the end of the day, everyone makes mistakes and everyone makes discoveries and everyone has skeletons in their closet. Normal people, though, just have the privilege to keep it to themselves.

“And everyone 17 is crazy and everyone has the right. If you take that right away from someone, then that is a cardinal sin. You are meant to experiment. You are meant to bump into corners. And that’s how you learn.”

By BRUCE KIRKLAND

Vanessa was amazing at her performance. She sing very well. Only Andrea Bocelli did better than she, but again you can’t realy compare them.
