Darlene has been a Holiday tradition since Letterman. I feel this was her absolute best performance since her showstopper final performance on Letterman, as I prefer when she performs solo. INCREDIBLE!!
You should go to TH-cam and search on Darlene Love Christmas Letterman, and it will bring up her first appearance on David Letterman in 1983. Just 3 men in her band and her. Her voice was absolutely outstanding.
@denb3087 I believe it was Paul Schaeffer's band (the World's Most Dangerous), and yes, it was outstanding, despite the small ensemble! Quite a difference between that and the final televised Letterman holiday extravaganza. They had a reunion on Letterman's TH-cam channel a few days ago---check it out if you haven't seen it. Was great to see Darlene and Paul making music again.
I have listened and loved Darlene for 60 years. She was and still has the voice to sing right through the wall of sound. The woman is a legend. I am filled with nostalgia and still can imagine the silent streets of the first snow in NYC,.... then the booming sound of Darlene, making Xmas officially here.
I was hoping Cher would perform this with her! They collabed on Chers Christmas album and she also sang backing vocals on this song when she was a teenager🤍
While not a fan of The View (nothing against it, though), bravo to them for giving Darlene the stage to bring back this tradition. I still watch her old Letterman appearances for my fix every year. And bonus is performing with SVZ and his amazing band!
My all time favorite Christmas song can't believe how beautiful she is and her voice still gives me goosebumps .my family grew up in Torrance California not too far from her church she would sing at as a youth ...love her and My highlight is to watch her perform every Christmas...U2 does a Good rendition of her song . But nobody can sing like the queen of Christmas 🎁
The singing in Mariah's version is vastly superior which is why it out-streamed the original at one point this year. That's the real queen of christmas despite the hatred of your comment
I love this woman, Ms. Darlene Love, and her amazing voice and music, this one one of my favorite Christmas songs! Still going strong using God's gifts and talents! 😇🙏👑❤️🎙🏆
She looks fabulous & what a voice even after all these years.. Darlene Love u & ur beautiful sister from the group" The Honey Cones". Ms Edna Wright.💖💖💖💖💖 So sorry for ur loss. Will never forget her songs!!
Still fabulous and this song is a staple in my house during the Holidays. Luckily, it's used in a lot of Hallmark Christmas movies (I'm a sucker for Christmas movies). Such a talent and still so pretty.
I did not get a chance to catch her on The View this year but I am seeing it now as what would Christmas be without Darlene Love. I just love her singing and goodness. What the world needs now is Love which includes Darlene.
As you get older, Christmas loses its Magic bit by bit. Responsibilities get heavier that at times it feels more like a chore than a holiday. But I'm glad some things never change. Like when Darlene opens with that "Christmas... Snows coming down." Its her way of saying "It's Ok Baby, dont lose that wonder, I got you. Let me reel you back in." Works like a charm
An Iconi singer and Iconic song! Darlene OWNS this song, no matter how many covers have been done! Like Whoopie stated, "Darlene Love id the Queen of Christmas"!
Darlene STILL has IT!
Looks incredible and sounds spectacular!
Imagine she is 82!!!!❤
Yes she does and looking FABULOUS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
82 yrs old and still going strong 💪
Dam!! This Lady looks Great! Wow We🎉❤
Wow! Never would imagine she is 82! She is the Queen of Christmas!
She looks younger
82 years young and Miss Darlene can still belt out this song! Bless the Queen of Christmas!
At 82 years old, Miss Love has still got it! Keep on rockin’, Darlene!
Darlene has been a Holiday tradition since Letterman. I feel this was her absolute best performance since her showstopper final performance on Letterman, as I prefer when she performs solo. INCREDIBLE!!
Except for the year Patti LaBelle joined her on stage was real magic!

Wow, 82 and still rocking it 🤩
Now it's Christmas because Darlene has sung! Perfect.
Everyone keeps saying she’s going strong at 82 but no one is saying how friggin gorgeous she looks ❤
Dave always said the Christmas only officially began in his mind when Darlene came and sang this song on his show.
You can hear why.
She brings the goods, with the Christmas spirit she lavishes on her listeners/ fans
Darlene’s been performing “Baby Please Come Home” for years on the view. She’s a Christmas decoration now lol
I love how Alyssa is becoming less stiff she’s having fun and it’s lovely too see.
I give her props for entering the lion's den..they are warming up to her
Shes the best thing that happened to view in recent years
Awww I like Alyssa. She’s been great on the show.
IT'S OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS TIME NOW!!! LOVE HER
YAY, Auntie Darlene killin it again!
I never tire of seeing and hearing her sing this song live each year. She is a legend and ageless and that voice is simply incredible.
Absolutely! She really brings the Christmas spirit, doesn't she
Fun fact: Cher sang back-up vocals on the original recording of this!
🎄🥂⛄
🤯
Brian said that on the podcast yesterday 😊
No way
Yep. I read that recently. That's so cool. It's not Christmas without Darlene Love singing.
Yes Cher was on Kelly Clarkson and told the story of singing background vocals on this song
Just to clear things up this legend is in her 80's singing and moving like that wow powerful lady
The great Eddie Manion blowing that baritone sax solo!
I was waiting for the Queen of Christmas. What Christmas is it without her? good as always, and splendid.
Brenda Lee is the queen of Christmas
Darlene SANG THAT! Even put a little gospel on it!!! Merry Christmas everyone!
I look forward to this time of year, just for Miss Darlene Love to come and sing this song! I love it!❤
The Queen!!!! The Queen of Christmas 🎄
Darlene Love as fabulous as usual. Best The View tradition, bar none. I was THRILLED that Steve Van Zandt played along with her
Me too and you can see he was having fun!!!! 🫶💖
I have listened and loved Darlene for 60 years. She was and still has the voice to sing right through the wall of sound. The woman is a legend. I am filled with nostalgia and still can imagine the silent streets of the first snow in NYC,.... then the booming sound of Darlene, making Xmas officially here.
She sounds like she could literally bring down the house with that powerful, grand dame voice. Wow, what a singer !
🎄Ms Darlene Love🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

It's not officially the holiday season until I see this.
I look forward to this every year! She looks and sounds incredible! Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄

😮
Amazing performance! She crushes that song by herself. Thanks Brian for keeping this tradition going!
Still the queen of xmas.
What a legend in the Christmas making by the extraordinary that starts with the letter D “Darlene Love!"
Stevie was GREAT in The Sopranos. Great acting
Hey there Ms Darlene Love. I grew up listening to this legend and God is still blessing her with great health and voice. Love u 😘
Darlene Love is and will always be the original Queen of Christmas. One of my all time favorites Christmas songs.
lol yeah right
It's crazy how her voice still sounds like it's coming from an ol' 45, even though she's singing live on tv with modern equipment.
my favorite christmas moment
🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️
Fabulous!
Fantastic!
Incredible!
I was hoping Cher would perform this with her! They collabed on Chers Christmas album and she also sang backing vocals on this song when she was a teenager🤍
Cher was on Kelly Clarkson's show at the same time on a different network
Excellent!!!
@@georggswan8133 I know I saw but the view today was pre recorded because it’s their last day as was Kelly’s
While not a fan of The View (nothing against it, though), bravo to them for giving Darlene the stage to bring back this tradition. I still watch her old Letterman appearances for my fix every year. And bonus is performing with SVZ and his amazing band!
She still looks and sounds amazing 60 years later, 82 years old! Still has it!
Love this tradition
