@@cwitmer1964 i’m in the minority I know but I’m sorry Jewel. She’s OK now if you want a good soloist look at Leah Michelle or heck even Mariah Carey I’ll give her that or a good group. Option would be Celtic woman. They do really good with it.
beautifully done - hit the high notes perfectly...wow...I didn't expect this...smooth as silk...soft...as her name says it all...a jewel of a singer and a cherished track....a keeper....
Every Christmas Eve I come back here and listen to it because this is way and the right voice to sing this song. If you’re reading this I wish you a merry xmas, wherever you are please stay safe and wear a mask!
This is a beautiful rendition. I saw Jewel live in 1999 when I was nine years old with my dad. I remember she yodeled at the start of the show. Still love her to this day.
I've only recently become a fan of Jewel, mostly since she started going in the direction of Country music and started showing up on CMT (I just never heard any of her music before then), but I'm going to have to go back and listen to her other stuff too. She's just a phenomenal singer, and the way she grew up really impresses me too (and makes me a little jealous). This is my all time favorite version of this song, and her performance of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra was amazing and definitely the best performance of that song I've ever heard!
yes! that is what irks me with other artists' renditions of this song. when you sing it the way it is written, the fluctuation and range between notes is powerful - when the singer tries to showcase their ability by throwing in all kind of voice modulation, however impressive and talented they may be, the true notes lose their impact.
Hark the herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled" Joyful, all ye nations rise Join the triumph of the skies With the angelic host proclaim: "Christ is born in Bethlehem" Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King!" Christ by highest heav'n adored Christ the everlasting Lord! Late in time behold Him come Offspring of a Virgin's womb Veiled in flesh the Godhead see Hail the incarnate Deity Pleased as man with man to dwell Jesus, our Emmanuel Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King!" Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings Ris'n with healing in His wings Mild He lays His glory by Born that man no more may die Born to raise the sons of earth Born to give them second birth Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King!"
So during Christmas, I often go on a vision quest for the best O Holy Night. Like I would seek the perfect rib eye steak or glass of wine...they mostly are all good; however, sometimes you stumble upon something so beautiful, that encompasses your quest in realization why you set upon your quest in the first place. This version here is that for me. She is humble, sexy, and talented at a world class level.
Jewel is indeed a talent. A great voice, a good actress, as well. What's puzzling is the leather pants.....? Well, aside from that....have a wonderful Christmas. And Happy Birthday, Jesus!
I love this rendition of this carol. Her singing of this is just...etherial. I'm not much of a musical person, but the range of Jewel's talents is just sublime. Pop, country...yodeling (saw her in a concert; I didn't think a human larynx was capable of what she yodeled)...and, whenever I hear her Oh Holy Night rendition, I'm lead to believe she'd be an excellent classical and opera singer as well. Just awesome.
Every one acknowledges that Christ was born and died on the cross. The questions is whether he was the son of God and our savior. His miraculous birth, self sacrifice of his life on earth and then his death on the cross for people who spat on him and betrayed him....even his closest friends....are facts.....this is what Christmas is about more than anything. Whether you believe in him as the savior he is still someone I can only DREAM of being on millionth as good as. God bless! :0)
Seeing Jewel do this live a few years ago was so special. I cried as I listened. So beautiful.
In my opinion, Jewel does the best rendition of O Holy Night ever!
I agree.
I agree
You option is correct here! Jewels voice is purely beautiful with this song.

Im in awe of this version and her voice. Her Christmas album is life changing 🎄🎄10/16/2020
Agreed.
I absolutely love Jewel’s rendition of Ave Maria! I play it when I need to feel a connection to our Blessed Mother.
Simple and subtle, no overdoing it, but still had emotion. In another words my new favorite version. Perfection.
what a Holy Night it was when God became human, to save us from our sins... praise the Lord Jesus Christ... she is truly a Jewel :)
AMEN
At Christmas we encounter God through the birth of Christ. We share the joy of giving, the love of family, and the bond of faith.
How can anybody gives this a 'thumbs down'...??? Jewel is an American treasure.
One of the very best Xmas albums of our time
Jewel's Christmas album is my favorite, year after year after year.
That album doesn't get any hype at all. It's very classy & skilled, but instead dum dum albums are put forth as "classics".....sad.
My favorite Christmas song and my favorite rendition of it. She makes it magical.
Jewel is one of the most beautiful women and spirits on the the planet. Boy, I would just love to give her the biggest hug.
beautifully done - hit the high notes perfectly...wow...I didn't expect this...smooth as silk...soft...as her name says it all...a jewel of a singer and a cherished track....a keeper....
What a great voice Jewel has. It's fun to see her on tv when she is home in Alaska
I'm moved to tears
Me too
I loved singing on this project...this session was really a special day with Arif Mardin and other greatness
Jesus, Jewel, your voice is truly angelic.
Every Christmas Eve I come back here and listen to it because this is way and the right voice to sing this song. If you’re reading this I wish you a merry xmas, wherever you are please stay safe and wear a mask!
She is incredible, those high notes send shivers right through me, thank you Jewel. Thisperformance is so close to the CD version too, pure art!
My favorite version, mainly because she doesn't try to turn it into an R&B song. Way too many pop stars doing Christmas songs try to do that now days.
This is a beautiful rendition. I saw Jewel live in 1999 when I was nine years old with my dad. I remember she yodeled at the start of the show. Still love her to this day.
I've only recently become a fan of Jewel, mostly since she started going in the direction of Country music and started showing up on CMT (I just never heard any of her music before then), but I'm going to have to go back and listen to her other stuff too.

She sounds like an angel
absolutely love jewel,seen her in concert 4 times ...my favorite female singer😀
There is something about Jewel that I am so in love with.
+David McClelland That makes two of us.
that she's hot?
lol
yeah, that's it
+David McClelland Beautiful, down-to-earth, extremely talented? Not to mention an angelic and mesmerizing singing voice .....
No embellishment, yet full of color and beauty
Beautiful rendition of the song, love it so much
WOW from Alaska to this !!! Love her voice and talent. gigi
I am back on 10/24/20 loving and enjoying this so much!
OMG! I remember watching this Christmas special. It aired on TV in the late 90s. Wow. I’ve been looking for these clips for years.
Got to listen to Jewel do this song every Christmas.
Jewel you have the most beautiful angelic voice I have ever heard you give me goose bumps and make me cry.
Me too
Heavenly sounds 🙏🙏❤️
Good to see a performer who realizes this song doesn't need to be "over-performed" or yelled.
Thank you Jewel for these beautifully
Sung Christmas songs ❤
I love this Christmas song and of three amazing ladies l listened to she had to be my favorite. only it wasn't long enough
she's beautiful and sings like an angel
+bearcat54
She is angel.
+THAD DILLON
She is an angel.
I am going to buy her Christmas Album! this was great!
I have heard so many performances of "o holy night ", and in my opinion Jewel is the best. Her voice sounds so pure. Unbelievable beatiful!
WOW sings like an angel.
Sure does...
Beautiful song and job especially for this most Holy day our Savior was born! A lady sang this at the Christmas Eve service last night too!
Soooo beautiful...Jewel is a true artist. She lets the song speak for itself, instead of making it all about her. Thank you for posting!
yes! that is what irks me with other artists' renditions of this song. when you sing it the way it is written, the fluctuation and range between notes is powerful - when the singer tries to showcase their ability by throwing in all kind of voice modulation, however impressive and talented they may be, the true notes lose their impact.
The entire song loses its impact when a singer thinks they're greater than the song. :-( Less is more!
the album version of this is one of my top three fav Cm songs.
*goosebumps*
I don't know how I missed this one in my YT searches for this song...but glad I did now.
Now I have heard an angels voice
Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
I really like Jewel's rendition of this song. Often folks singing Christmas songs can't even hit the notes. She sang beautifully here.
Thank-You Jewel !!! You are a BEAUTIFUL Jewel to the Human Race ..........
Still loving this 12/18/2021❤️🙏🌲
Love her angelic voice
Simply beautiful, so beautifly simple.
like an angel singing
She is a Jewel that sings like an Angel.🌹
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing this marvelous song

I think Jewels' voice is perfect for this song. I really enjoy this better than any other person doing this song.jewel is the best with this song!!!!
oh voice divine!
Jewel is indeed a talent. A great voice, a good actress, as well. What's puzzling is the leather pants.....? Well, aside from that....have a wonderful Christmas. And Happy Birthday, Jesus!
her voice is amazing, much better then some of the versions I heard on here.
Although your voice is magical in its purity and innocence and one of my favorites, I love you for you, not for what you can give me.
Oh MY.. a gorgeous voice.
Simply glorious.
Love it...Love it... Love it...
I love this rendition of this carol. Her singing of this is just...etherial. I'm not much of a musical person, but the range of Jewel's talents is just sublime.

Just awesome.
I watched all holy nights Jewel's is best bar none.
Angel on this earth!!
so pure and beautiful
All right friends it’s September. Let’s launch the 2022 season!
She is Awesome and can sing anything :) I have been a big fan of hers since lilth fair When she toured with Sarah Mclachlan
Incredibil voice! Angel...
Best version
r&b is a very beautiful music genre. True it lacks soul and substance these days but it's filled without a lot of beautiful singers. Open your mind.
Such a unique and beautiful voice
Another fact...she is angelic in voice and personage. Stop hating and grow up. God bless you! :0)
I want this at my funeral
O Jewel eres una capaza...!
I'm in love!
Such an angelic voice
wow...she is amazing
I adore her
O Holy shight that was beautiful
wow, just wow!
yes, she is awesome!
Done very beautifully.

sounds beautiful
Awwww!!! she´s so sweet
I can´t believe she´s Jewel, the mega hot "intuition" star
Simply beautiful
her performance is a proof that singing is not all about belting and shouting. . nicely done. .
Beautiful song... No comment!
Wonderful!!! Now this is a singer and not just a performer. But finest rendition of this is by Sissel-O, Helga Natt. The finest soprano in the world.
Thank you
Goosebumps :)
Love her music**
100 Stars !!!!
I swear, her voice sounds so pure that it's like she's not even singing: she's emitting beautiful sounds straight from her soul...or something :)
