Last Christmas I heard this version for the first time. My husband and I had just found out that our efforts to adopt had fallen through for the second time. I cried when I heard this song, because all I wanted then was a child. Well here we are almost 9 months later, and I am feeding my little 7 month old son. Those tears of grief are tears of joy when I hear this song now, because it captures that heartfelt longing perfectly.
My mother sang the original version of this song for my father when he was over seas many years ago. He passed away last year. This arrangement of this song better suits what the meaning of this song has for us now.
This version of this song, all of it, the singing, the beautiful dancing, the harmonies are just so beautiful. This could make you miss people you have never even met!! ♥️
This song played last year after my husband passed away unexpectedly nd this song reminds me of him and how I get after it happened! Beautiful job with this song!
Can't believe I just heard this for the first time...WOW JUST WOW...Simply amazing version and the video is unbelievable.This makes you feel the song.Its on my Christmas song list from here on out...
This is the perfect version for me this year. Leslie Odom Jr., and Ingrid bring a different view and depth to Mariah's brilliance as a writer and not just as a singer. Beautifully done.
AMAZING!!!! I lost my mother 2 years ago and she loved christmas. The first time I heard mariah carey that Christmas the lyrics spoke to me different and thought that it would also work as a ballad in my case. I went looking for a cover to see if someone did slow it down and found this...when leslie started to sing, it broke me! She and I are both fans of Leslie from his run on NBCs "SMASH" Thank you BOTH for this, beautiful! 😭❤
When you actually listen to the lyrics this version is superior in every way to the original. This song is about love and wanting your loved one close on Christmas, The upbeat nature of the original doesn't fit that.
I'm glad that Mariah's gift with the pen shines through for the people that love this rendition. Not many know Mariah as a songwriter, and I've always wished for her to write material for others.
My guinea pig passed away in my arms two years ago today, whilst this song played in the background. I loved its somber sound before, but especially now this song always moves me to tears.
I've been to 2 or 3 of her concerts when I was little, one time, I was chearing for the other girl that was singing, and she goes "oh ok, your chearing for her but have my shirt on you".... I'll never forget that moment that I cherish still till this day
This cover is giving me all the feels...I am listening to it on repeat as I start decorating for Christmas. The true spirit of the season is love to and for all. Merry Christmas:)
This song comes on and usually I turn it OFF. So overplayed. THIS version though. Your ENTIRE album is perfection. I could listen to this version and your two voices hundreds of times. :)
Wow, wow, wow!!! I was very surprised ! I love Ingrid, but I though it was going to be another All I want for Christmas from Mariah , Michael bubble etc. Very good!!! Bravo 👏🏼 I
I was trying to figure out why I loved this so much, aside from the song and arrangement, then I saw Leslie Odom Jr was the other singer and it suddenly made perfect sense 🥰🥰
Ingrid, you continue to amaze me! Since the first time I heard your voice in 2006, your songs have helped me in my time of need. I needed this, this Christmas. Thank you. ♥️ Also, Leslie Odom was a great pair for this song. 😊
Before hearing this randomly on Sirius Holly station Mariah Carey's version was the ONLY one I'd accept. Now this has surpassed hers and I now only accept two versions. I love the arrangements 💖💖💖
My Two Favorites 🤓😍 I am crying at the beauty my ears are beholding 😢😭 An early Christmas gift for us fans? You shouldn't have, but we are so thankful you did!!! 💖❄💖❄
I know you've all watched this and loved the singing. And then watched it again and loved the dancers. But even another layer is the unmatched camera control and blocking. That tells a story all by itself.

So very happy for you - and glad this song brought you comfort during the season of giving!
So happy for you
😭🌷🎄...your story makes so happy♥️
God bless your family! Thank you for sharing, for all the other families-to-be to keep the faith
That brings me to tears...so happy for you!!
this is criminally underrated. I've been listening to you for a long time now and your voice still does that thing to me still after I'm 31.
Drewbie UnderFire i totally understand what you mean. I’ve been a fan of Ingrid since she performed at Border’s books.
Yes yes yes and more! Always been in love with her from the first moment. Seen her as much as possible live and never disappointed
@@JoannC830 off to search border's books after this song is done playing
This actually gave me the chills. The arrangement was so beautiful and made me actually feel the heart of the lyrics for the first time ever.
True for me too!!
Agreed!!!

Absolutely! It brought me to tears the first time I heard it. It’s so beautiful!

Sorry for the loss of your father 💝
Not only for you, but it actually fits better what the lyrics are saying.
Sorry for your loss
🌷🌈♥️
I fell in love with this song on the radio. I just cried watching this. This arrangement is stunning. Completely took my breath away.
This is my favorite version of this song. It’s so beautiful!
God this is beautiful.
The most beautiful version I’ve ever heard❤️
this arrangement is so amazing! It is so powerful and I would say it is better than the original.
I can't believe how beautiful this is...or that I've never heard it before. It's just...PERFECT.
Merry Christmas, everyone. 💗
I held my 1month old daughter and danced to this by the light of the tree. Now she's 4 and I still do it. It's my favorite tradition.
This version of this song, all of it, the singing, the beautiful dancing, the harmonies are just so beautiful. This could make you miss people you have never even met!! ♥️
Lovely Jubbly Ingrid, simply a beautiful version.
This song played last year after my husband passed away unexpectedly nd this song reminds me of him and how I get after it happened! Beautiful job with this song!
Beautiful. Why am I just hearing this now in 2021? Love Leslie Odoms Jr. 🤗
Favorite version of this song. Period.
Can't believe I just heard this for the first time...WOW JUST WOW...Simply amazing version and the video is unbelievable.This makes you feel the song.Its on my Christmas song list from here on out...
you know it was a really hard year, when this makes you cry. TT__TT
This is the perfect version for me this year. Leslie Odom Jr., and Ingrid bring a different view and depth to Mariah's brilliance as a writer and not just as a singer. Beautifully done.
Ok how tf does he have the vocal range for The Room Where It Happens and this like bruh 😍
Ingrid Michaelson is an actual angel
H-h-ho-hold up! Was that one whole long take?!?!?!?! That's insane!!!!! 0_0
According to Ingrid they shot the whole video in one take!
@@lesliebullock3674 That is amazing!
I love Ingrid Michaelson... how am I not seeing this until just now? This DEMANDS air play. It's so incredibly beautiful!

So many emotions in this song; nostalgia, warm-hearted, broken-hearted, and love. Obviously, all of them are beautiful. 💖❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
This interpretation gives the right meaning to this song. We got one life only and nothing matters more than the ones we do really care and love. 🖤
When you actually listen to the lyrics this version is superior in every way to the original. This song is about love and wanting your loved one close on Christmas, The upbeat nature of the original doesn't fit that.
Yes. I feel this one in my soul
Ugh. My heart. So heartbreakingly beautiful! I love Ingrid & Leslie!
Breathtaking!! The whole thing! ❤
I'm glad that Mariah's gift with the pen shines through for the people that love this rendition. Not many know Mariah as a songwriter, and I've always wished for her to write material for others.
Leslie Odom Jr, you sir, are amazing.
Thee best version of this song hands down
All i wanted for christmas was Ingrid covers of christmas songs and now i have 🤤😻❤️
My guinea pig passed away in my arms two years ago today, whilst this song played in the background. I loved its somber sound before, but especially now this song always moves me to tears.
It’s not Christmas season until I listen to Ingrid’s version of this classic!
Let this song go nationwide!! Its on your side..
A really lovely rendition. Bought this album a few weeks ago and this has quickly become one of my favorites.
Really love this version! Heard it yesterday for the first time.
Christmas this years 100x better and heres the proof 💁🏻😻❤️❤️
The tear at 3:38 is all of us.
Been at Christmas with a broken heart and suddenly this song makes a lot more sense.
the tear, the single tear ahhhh so good
Also, can we talk about the dancers? Their dance is so pretty and graceful! 😍 💃💃
God chills! The harmony is absolutely stunning!
Leslie Odom Jr’s voice should be illegal
@@aud24 they were being nice I think..
Tears...just perfect. Thank you. Beautiful.
I've been to 2 or 3 of her concerts when I was little, one time, I was chearing for the other girl that was singing, and she goes "oh ok, your chearing for her but have my shirt on you".... I'll never forget that moment that I cherish still till this day
I was not prepared to feel these feelings. 😭💗
This cover is giving me all the feels...I am listening to it on repeat as I start decorating for Christmas. The true spirit of the season is love to and for all. Merry Christmas:)

Heard this in my car today and loved when I discovered who it was singing and then I watched the video and now I’m crying - sobbing lol
This is flawless. So beautiful.
This version is better than the original. Yeah I said it.
Pretty much the only album I have playing on my Spotify. Thank you for making the Christmas album I didn't even know I needed in my life!
Leave it up to Ingrid to make all your Christmas favorites cry worthy...love it!!
So beautiful. Worth a good ugly cry!
🎄✨Best Version Ever✨🎄
This song comes on and usually I turn it OFF. So overplayed. THIS version though. Your ENTIRE album is perfection. I could listen to this version and your two voices hundreds of times. :)
Between the talent and your beauty you must truly be an angel

I need the sheet music or the chords or something for this piece! It's gorgeous...I would love to play it on the piano
Mariah’s holiday ditty has now become a classic!❤️❄️🏆👍
You both did this classic so beautiful! ❤
I think I tweet ingrid Michaelson asking for this Christmas album 6-7 years ago. I’m so happy it’s here!!
Pumpkinspice Damn... talk about a patient person. You deserve a medal or something lol!
I love You Ingrid. Thank You for this song. This is a very beautiful song, no words.
This is everything I didn't know I needed from this song wow. Thank you both for this.
One of my favorite xmas songs every year. So wonderfully done.
Leslie’s voice is so good 😤👏🏻

Love and tenderness🎧listened few times now from 6 am⚜️beautiful duet
Heart breakingly beautiful.
I am obsessed!!! Ingrid at her best is emotional, raw, and making me feel all the feels!
This rendition is BEAUTIFUL!
Gosh this made me cry; it's so emotional.
Best combo I’ve ever needed
I love this version more than Mariah Carey’s! That version is overplayed, this is underplayed. Best version ever 🙌🙌🙌
This sounds like it needs to be in a soap opera where the couple reunites under mistletoe or something 😍
So do I, I hope some movie in the future does so.
My Two Favorites 🤓😍 I am crying at the beauty my ears are beholding 😢😭 An early Christmas gift for us fans? You shouldn't have, but we are so thankful you did!!! 💖❄💖❄

Ingrid, you never cease to amaze me. So glad to see your holiday album coming out. I can't wait to hear more!
I really love your voice. Ingrid I'm your fan from México.
I know you've all watched this and loved the singing. And then watched it again and loved the dancers. But even another layer is the unmatched camera control and blocking. That tells a story all by itself.
There has never been a better version of any Christmas song ever. It's so good I'm listening to it in July.
Boring Mariah Carey and other versions way better
