Actually! There's a very interesting cognitive dissonance at play! The song is old and it SOUNDS old. The singing style and vocal production are dated so we age up the actual sound of her voice in our brain. Same reason we think people in the past look older! The young people of the past dress like today's old people because they're the same people! Also she was a good and refined singer for her age so similarly, we associate skill with experience and experience with age but she's working with a child's voice box! Saying her voice was mature and developed early downplays her achievements and is far less interesting in my opinion
@nicolasgralewicz4727 lol i know what youre referancing and people literally aged differently back then. I was classicly trained and her voice absolutely sounds more mature. Does not sound like a trained 13 yo no matter who you are.
@@sky19804 She may sound a little older, but certainly not mature (as in older than 25) like a lot of people thought. But not nearly to the extent people are thinking. It's a little bit truth and a little bit illusion. Again, add to the fact that she's a GOOD singer with good technique we associate that with practice and thus age.
First time hearing this song I knew the voice didn't match a grown lady one's Till I learn the song was singing by a 14 years old teenager and she nailed it
@saucy actually, it's said she was 13. But exactly, she sounds like a 60 year old smoker grandma lmaoo but it's impressive because she still sounds musically fantastic!
OMG...I didn't realize she sounded the same at 13. I just watched both and my daughter is 9 and she cannot tell either. My mom sounds just like her and sings it constantly. Wow. Ty
I Heard that Christmas song when I was in kindergarten in the 90's on Christmas and I saw the movie home alone that's was my favorite Christmas movie ever.
Que tema y que interpretación más bella la de ésta cantante, me remonta a mi linda niñez en familia. Gracias por siempre, srta. Brenda y bendiciones por siempre ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think some folks aren’t realizing how genuinely mature she sounds as a child. Yes you can say “Well the older sound and style makes it sound older” but even for that, that’s not true. She is incredibly skilled. Listen to the little details here. Her voice doesn’t noticeably waver at all in the song and she has a confidence of someone who’s been doing this for a while. the way she sings “Caroling” really stands out to me. That’s a low note for someone of her age, Even as an alto, that note is a bit lower than the range of the song and so could be lost, but she hits it well. She also has a slight crack when she sings “Car-“ in the caroling. But it doesn’t sound like an accident but rather anintentional crack. It’s a technique- not a mistake. “Deck” is also hit perfectly here. It isn’t forced and sounds full. Whoever worked with her and trained her voice did a phenomenal job and clearly also knows what they are doing. She’s using techniques that i’m only now learning even as someone who has sang since i was 6. I can actually directly compare myself to her as I had to sing this song for a show when I was 14. Those low notes were really hard to sing loud, those high notes weren’t easy to hit without straining. I tried to imitate her style of singing (as requested) but it was incredibly difficult. So basically what i’m saying is- Everyone trying to say “No we just think she sounds mature bc of the quality/time/style” i am hard disagreeing. This is mad skill and i’m not just jealous, im blown away. Props Brenda!
I have this song in my favorites playlist. I knew it was Brenda Lee, but I did not know she was 13 when she recorded the song, she sounds like an adult. Either way I grew up listening to the song, up to this day.

Everytime I feel down and out all I have to do is listen to this Christmas song and I feel so happy 😊 to be alive. It doesn't matter what month it is. All is well for me. Thank you God I have a roof over my head and food in the refrigerator. This song brings back lots of good memories. Having fun with my friends on the weekend. I grew up in the 60's and I had such good fun. 😊😊

Literally anyone could be fully forgiven for watching the current era music video thinking this is her voice NOW But NOPE, rewind a bunch of decades. Nothing short of mindblowing
This and Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song" are my favorite Christmas songs of all time! I always thought this was Patsy Cline singing this song, why I don't know? The song was made before I was born.
It’s not that I’m saying she has a good singing voice for her age. What I’m saying is that her voice in itself sounds like she’s 57. I literally hear an adorable, elderly woman singing a tune for her grandchildren during Christmas 😂

In 1958. I was 6 ans. And looking at Brenda here reminded me of my scratchy crinoline. Mom would get me dressed just like Brenda to go to Church with Dad. Wearing cotton net white gloves.
I still can't wrap my head around the fact this is a voice of a 13 year old 😳 I learned that today and I couldn't believe it.
I learned it today and my mind is blown too💥😂
You watch Hayley’s Video?😂
@@moosemeriley i did 😭😂
@@moosemerileyI did
I just learned today myself
I just learned today that it’s a 13 year old girl singing this song. Wow her voice is so mature and amazing.
They used a lot of compression on her vocal track. A common recording technique, especially in that era
I find it sad.
I literally thought she was over 30 my whole life.
@@aschmitt3395 Same, I was owning noobs on Gears of War at 13.
@@aschmitt3395 how is it sad??
Miss Brenda Lee was a mere 13 years old when she released this perennially popular Christmas 🎄 novelty song. It always sounds brand new.
Such a mature voice
That's the oldest sounding 13 year old I've ever heard. Did she start smoking at 5?
@@aaronwatkins8973it’s probably just her singing style. Singers manipulate their voice in different ways.
That is crazy
this is all bullshit. this upload is a rerecorded version when she was over 40yo whit video of her while 13...
The first time.I remember hearing this song was in the movie, "Home Alone."
Yes! I love the song in that movie
YESSS I LOVE THAT MOVIE I WATCH IT EVERY CHRISTMAS
Lol
Me too
I’m watching home alone right now on Disney+ and on freeform channel
Absolutely amazing this is still played today and she is still alive
Yup,she's in that commercial here on youtube
That’s amazing 13 years old in 1958 you come up with a brand new Christmas song and it topped the charts for years. Awesome
I’m 21 and she has a more matured voice than me lol

It's 2023. This is my favorite Christmas song. She's 79 years old
*80*
@@ToadRR-e5rjust because it's been 80 years since 1944 doesn't mean she was born before December
Or January for that matter
I don't care how old she is today im more interested in the fact that she did this when she was 13!
I had no idea she was young! Good job, girlie!
Congratulations. Dec 4 ,2023 just made for the first rime the number one song in the US.
Been playing this song for years, and I didn’t realize she was super young on this song.. ❤️
Hit Billboards #1, top 100 this week, Dec, 2023! 🎉😊❤💚🎄
This is the kind if music that conquer your heart and stay there forever.
A Rockabilly song is top of the Billboards in 2023 💃

I don’t care if she was 13 I still hear a 31yr old adult singing and I’m sticking with it and you can’t tell me different. This tune ROCKS!
Man the 50’s were great.
Oldie but goodie.Great.😊
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I love his smile when he looks out the window knowing his plan worked 🤣🎄
The only bad part of this song is it doesn't last long enough. My favorite Christmas song!!
Nobody has ever come close to Brenda's cover of this great Christmas song.
I've gone to festivals and rock concerts. This song is an absolute banger 🔥. That saxophone goes hard, and Brenda just slays it

Seen on FB that she was 13 when this was made and I had to come check WOW!
Insane 13 years old is crazy! We grew up fast back then. Now ppl think their kids at 30 still 😂 are we evolving or going backwards
I can’t believe this is a voice of a 13 year old Omg I would’ve never guessed 😮
One of the greats. Her wonderful voice is like no other!

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie
And we’ll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of Holly
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin’ merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Wow sounds like way older than 13 yrs old. I'm shocked
I still can't believe that she is alive and if she ever dies she will be in our hearts like our grandmother, she is history, Brenda The Best! 🎉
Muita linda esta canção.
I was watching Monk series on Netflix.. Suddenly heard this song in an episode.. What a voice of her at such a young age.. She has unique voice... ❤❤
By Far, My Favorite Christmas Song!
Look at the fashion...beautiful
Reels brought me here, and i cannot believe he was 13 yrs old when this was recorded 🤯🤯
He

@ gomenasai thought it was he, she is definitely
Merry Christmas 2024 For Everyone! 🎈🎼💙💛
I'm here because of Brad Pasley's post about this.... and I can't unhear what he has always heard her say 😂
I had no idea this song came out in the 50s holy crap
Flashback in the 50's & 60's
Que cantidad de años que no escuchaba este tema.
Desde que era un niño en ese entonces.
Todo lo de calidad vuelve a sonar en las radios.
Músicas boas não envelhecem.
Nunca me canso de escutar essa música.❤
How special is all of this. So precious and eternally enjoyed ❤
Wish to have heard it in person or recorded with modern equipment. Must’ve been incredible
I just came to check from a random reel on instagram I saw ..💀 damn 13 wow
Me encanta ❤
I love this song ❤️🎵🎶🎵🌲
Beautiful girl and a beautiful Christmas song, love it,😍😍😍
What a gifted voice! This was back when being young made sense.
Lindo recuerdo de mi niñez. Ídola Brenda Lee.
Happy 80th! 🎂
Extraordinaria maravillosa saludos cordiales desde Caracas Venezuela 🇻🇪❤️
Preciosa canción 😍👍me encanta !! La escucho todo el año 🕺🎼🎼
Qué bien te felicito 😊
Una de las mejores cantantes de su época
se escucha fenomenal , canta bonito
You got to see Brenda singing this now at age 79 on TH-cam!!
I’m just now learning this *jaw drop* I love this song more now!
It’s crazy how much older she sounded
Bill Haley & The Comets also recorded it in 1968.

Wonderful!
God bless all the women ever thank you ❤
It’s not that I’m saying she has a good singing voice for her age. What I’m saying is that her voice in itself sounds like she’s 57. I literally hear an adorable, elderly woman singing a tune for her grandchildren during Christmas 😂
Love this song💗😝
Wow wow wow I felt goosebumps 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Вот кто поёт 👍👍👍 супер 👍👍👍❤❤❤ РОМА Молдова ❤
In this video she's singing Feliz Navidad
Chegou a melhor época da minha vida ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
what's mesmerizing is how polished her singing was at 13
FOREVER GREAT BEST LOVE SONGS! I LOVE YOU BRENDA !!!I LOVE THIS SONG LIVE FOREVER!!!!
For all those years I thought that singer she was 40-50 years old and looks like Dolly Parton or some one similar 😂
Muy lindo recuerdo
It's so ahead of its time
Only 13 years old too ❤️🎵🎶🎵🌲
Number 1 Miss Brenda Lee ❤️🎄
Cant believe she was 13 when sung this. Always though it was a mature 40-50 voice
My favorite song where there is christmas or not
The home alone movie brought back rocking around the Christmas tree popular again
I still can’t believe she was 13…
