Wow, I love this song and no one can sing it like Adam!! Vocals front and center, the way I like him singing the best. Christmas never sounded so good! Streaming the hell out of this song too!

I don't want to sign up for Spotify - is there any way I can hear the song without joining?? Thanks. I signed up for the free Spotify and it works great for me, although I have to put up with ads at times. I created a Velvet playlist which I play 24/7, Shuffle, Repeat on low volume. I have all the songs, plus the remixes and I also have multiple CTY and SP. Sometimes I use suggested playlists I find on Adamtopia. It does not work as well on my phone as they keep adding tracks from other artists that I am not interested in hearing. Love the new Xmas song and can't wait for the Pittsburgh performance tonight.

I want to respond to this video because it reminds me of conversations I've had with my siblings/friends over the years. The guy in the video new next to nothing about Adam. Yes, he was very impressed with his voice. But after over ten years in the public eye, he knew very little. Before I ever watched Idol (Season 7) I always said to my sisters, who watched it each year, that the contestants just seemed to disappear after each season was over, winners included. Of course, I was wrong. I just never paid attention to any of them. My sisters kept telling me that "it's who you follow" If you FOLLOW someone, you know what they're doing and they become important to you and you support them. Taylor Swift is a mega-star, but if you don't follow her at all, you don't know what she's doing, other than knowing her name. You may never seek her out at all. This guy knew Adam's name and he knew about Idol, but that's it. So I learned that just because I haven't heard about someone and don't follow them, it doesn't mean they are not successful. Lesson learned. It's always fun to watch someone listen to Adam sing for the first time. That wide-eyed, "OMG" always thrills me! LOL! Yep. I have never understood the reasoning that because my third cousin does not know what Adam is doing, it serves as proof that others have not heard of him. No one keeps up with everyone. But Adam has a high profile and gets many high profile gigs as a solo artist and as Queen frontman. So it is reasonable to think he is not an unknown. The way the press keep up with everything he does says they think he is known and successful and interesting and he is. Could he use more exposure? Of course he could. Other than the Taylor Swifts of the world, most of them could use more. But most of the Idol contestants do disappear on the national and international level but they have their followers too. Thankfully, Adam is not one of those who disappeared after his time on the show or soon after, even if all have not kept up with him or know what he is doing.

Ok . I am using Spotify. 18/7. I found the Xmas song. But only plays once than goes to iihy. How can I get it to play repeat so I don’t have to keep catching it every two minutes to play again. ? Then back to velvet
Here we go - 50 iterations = about 2.5 hours

This is great.
Those "Jew" comments on IG make me roll my eyes, even if they're just jokes or tongue-in-cheek. I'm Jewish, all 4 of my grandparents were Holocaust survivors and I will still sing any damn song I want, including Christmas songs.
I mean, anyone wants to tell Barbara Streisand she shouldn't be singing "The Christmas Song". LOL

Here we go - 50 iterations = about 2.5 hours From my own experiences, the free Spotify goes to "Shuffle" eventually, especially on the phone, while with Premium you have unrestricted freedom. It has worked out super well for me for a while now. The way I look at it in terms of cost, a yearly subscription to Spotify Premium likely costs less than a decent concert ticket, not including travel and hotel cost.

I haven’t seen any comments but it is a fact that Adam used to respond to requests/suggestions from fans to record a Xmas song by saying he Had no interest in doing so because he is Jewish... as a matter of fact I am really surprised , and it would be very interesting to know what led him to record this... but whatever it is we got another extraordinary recording! I can only be grateful!

I can only be grateful! He has some non Jewish members of his family so he's probably decided it wasn't a completely foreign world/concept after all. I grew up in uber Catholic Poland so I probably know more about some Christian holidays than many of my own ones, haha!
