I'll take this over Mariah any day!! Sounds so good!

Alex Sage

No need to forgive when I was wanting this.

ZAYRAY!

Oooh! That’s a very interesting take on this song.

Kelly Pupo

Merry Christmas Geoff! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.😁

Rachel Blackthorne

I loathe the song...until you do it. This is (firstly) the perfect length and secondly, an absolutely amazing rendition...I love this so much!

Katie D

Well. You did it. You took a song I absolutely despise, and turned it into something listenable. Kudos to you Geoff, and great job!!! 😊

Ethan Kayne

This put me in the feels. Remind me of Christmas time with my Grandma. So pretty.

Lutra2732

Wow, that sounds amazing! 🤩Full song, please!

Lutra2732

And Merry Christmas!

Ariaunna Wood

Wow! You did soo good. I didn't think you were actually going to sing it.

Valorie Rose Lyons

Omg 😱. Oh my goodness but it’s so good. So good… 😊. 😍🥰

Rebecca Hendricks

Oh, Geoff! Thanks for the laugh! That was awesome!

Tema Krempley

You are something else! You really are. I shouldn’t be shocked I love this song, but I am. What is it with you and the boyos making me like Christmas music?

Ashley Evers

It's hard not to forgive you when you sound that good. How did you make this song good actually? There's just no way that's not magic.

Debbie Goodling

What an unusual take on this song! I just love it!😍

schlumpfinchen82

Thank you for this short 😁 All I want for Xmas is more music and videos from you 😇

Paula Jordan

Do not apologize. Merry Merry to you Kathy and William

Lisa Kettlewell

Forgive what??? Silly boy. Everything you choose to sing is perfect for you and your voice. No forgiveness is ever needed here!!! And we are all so very happy you couldn’t help yourself. 😉

Mikki Fullerton

Of course you'd take this song from the original extreme range to the other extreme range. 😄 I love this! Especially that little riff-like descent from 0:41-0:45, that's so pretty! Thank you very much! That rhythm is also fantastic!

Tine

Ooohhh that is such an interesting take on this song. I really like this, Geoff. So beautiful

Laura

This version should replace the original!

Gretchen G

Consider yourself forgiven, lol. What a lovely version of this song!

Veronica Thunander

No, obviously you couldn’t!😂 But just as I knew, you did make it sound great!

Lacy McCloud

❤ I was so sick of this song, but somehow you can always make tired songs fresh and beautiful. You've turned me around on it. Such a great cover. Thank you 👏👏

Carol Franklin

You’ve done it again. Love it when you make me like a song I’ve never been keen on.

Helen A

Y'know, I hadn't expected it to, but think this song actually works better in a melancholy style than it did in the original relentlessly perky rendition. Nice job!

Jess M

Nice little Christmas tune and then comes the last note 😁 Loving it! I was really hoping you'd do it.

Angelika Bock

Merry Christmas and thank you for the treat!

Zeleste Rosaline Zafina Søndergaard

Yeah 🥰 thank you so much for this It sounds absolutely fantastic 🥰 But it is a bit weird seeing you not using your arms while singing🤪

Anja Eder

Thanks for the short.....the final scene actually inspired me to do a drawing.. exactly that mood, the ambience....perfect!!!!Let's see how I have time to implement it, the music accompaniment is already there!!!!

Sarah Borzelli

Oh Geoff! It's wonderful! You just saved Christmas!

Find

Full version soon?👀

Beth Comer

You turned that from a parody and a meme into a real song! Well done, sir- you continue your tradition of turning everything you touch to pure gold.

Rachael Dizmang

Another great holiday song cover short from our favorite vocal bassist. Definitely need the full version of this soon, if possible. 🎄 ☺️

Denaliland

Merry Christmas World!

Angie Woollard

Forgive you?? Au contraire, I thank you profusely!! OH. MY. GOD. GEOFF. 😱😭That was so beautiful!! That...that one chord! You know which one I mean. Oh WOW what a great treat - thank you for this!!

Shannon D

I love it! I especially like how you changed up the rhythm and made it fresh.

Randiskye

I thought you were just pranking us. Not much can redeem this song in my ear, though you did a very nice job. It's not often something triggers me, but this song is just nails on a chalkboard for me at this point.

Jacky Friedman

He does that to me too. I call it "Sprinkling his magic". Voiceplay too.

Filiz E

This is just beautiful🥰 thank you Geoff! and Merry Christmas!

Crisstina Joubert

Your music is the gift that warms the soul. Thank you, Merry Christmas to you and all your family!!!

Laural Andersen

I never thought anyone could make me like this song 😆 You’ve done it again! 👏🏻

Katherine Powell

I forgive you, Geoff. 😆 I love your take on this song. This slow swing rhythm you've got going on is something I would have never expected. Of course, you always do the things I never expect. That descending line on "you". Absolutely beautiful, sir.

Mikki Fullerton

Hey, easter egg! I see that little present behind you on the piano is the same one from White Christmas by the looks of it. 🎄Glad you finally found it!

Tine

The more I listen to this (on repeat), the more I absolutely fall in love with this. Such a cosy, comfy vibe. Love love love this. HOWEVER! You are not forgiven. For this should have been a full length cover ;)

Tine

Ahh yes, nicely spotted!

Robin Carter

I see I’m not the only one that cringes and immediately fast forward when I hear this song. TILL NOW!!! You have brought new everything to this song. Are you going to do a full length version? Please!?!?

Dexter R

Such a fresh spin on it 🤩

Debs Badger

Nope. You are not forgiven. 😶

Levonne Price

OMGosh...........loving this so much!!

Kraken Artificer

The video is lovely, but needs more Kathy :)

Zena Darling

A full length, full production video of this would absolutely break the internet

Lillan Gravli

All I want for Christmas is Geoff looking more into the camera. 🙏

Emily Dion

Only you could repair the trauma I have with this song. (Too many years working retail). Now I have the only safe version of this song I can listen to.

Olivia Edwards

Geoff, your version of this song is amazing. It’s such a fresh take on the one we all know and wish we could tell some people to stop playing every 30 minutes 😂 I would ABSOLUTELY listen to your version over Mariah Carey any day😁.

Sarah Borzelli

I'm so glad it's only Dec 5 - so I have plenty of time to listen on repeat until Christmas! (hopefully you will release it quickly to the world though). Everything about it is perfect! I love how you changed the rhythm, how you kept the BGV's simple, the lead so delicate, the whole vibe you gave it! Also the way it was filmed is so fitting. Additionally you (or Kathy) placed the present from 'I'm dreaming of a White Christmas' - great!

Alex Walker

Bravo! Bravo!! Totally made my day! Thank you! 😍

Anke Bühler

No, never,nope, absolutely NOT. Even if you would sit there naked while singing this song, I would still hate it. 🤪🤪🤪

Jeanette Pencz

We forgive you of course 😁 Love this song but you made it perfect. Thank you for making my day 😘

Sarah Reach

And kudos to the camera artistry that makes it look like Florida got a White Christmas. Super clever and it matches the vibe of your rendition perfectly!

Nic

🤥😜

Knut Erik Vassvik

Wow! This was amazing! I have been sick of this song for ages but you made such a good job so it became good again!

Judy Kay

Love it!!!! Merry Christmas!

Lynda Rood

Thank you Geoff, you always do a song justice. It's beautiful, I can listen to this song again and not cringe.

Maria Stoycheva

I see what you did there and I respect it 😜

Maria Stoycheva

She's surely behind the camera on this one. We can almost see her, reflected in Geoff's eyes ^_^

Maria Stoycheva

Not mad about it, even if it is just Dec 5. Slightly mad about the subtitles, though - capitalising the first letter of every line is really annoying. Not sure if it's a new standard or something but makes no sense to capitalise words in the middle of sentences. ^^

Silv E

I had faith in you, and it was justified! Love what you did with this. Heart = melted.

Amanda Nott

Man, you shift from higher tones to lower ones and really low ones so easily! Love the fresh take on this song!

Cynthia Ross

You are the only one that can make me like that song. Thank you! 🥰

Mia

Hate this song. But playing it like a loop regardless 😅 Whimsical, bluesy, beautiful.

Hunter

I absolutely LOATHE that song. But Geoff, you once again, turned into something that I don’t wanna cut my ears off to. Great job.

Dan Black

Personally, I still like that song. In fact, it's one of my favorite contemporary Christmas songs. But I also don't listen to the radio or streaming services that play it incessantly, so I only hear it a few times per year.

Amanda Hovendon

Wow Geoff. Your version I could listen to on repeat. Thank you so much for this and Merry Christmas to you and the fam❤️❤️❤️

Leonie Frenkert-Ghazi

I love this version from you, Geoff! I didn't like the original, but with your voice, that's all I want for Christmas!!! 🎄🌟

Karen & Lauren

I try not to overindulge on Christmas music. I will say, it's a refreshing take that, other than the lyrics, could be fit for any time of the year. And I'm glad to see those old doors put to use as a delightful backdrop. 😊

Bonnie Kaupp

I knew it! If ANYONE could turn me around on this song it would be you! Yup, you for Christmas. 🎶😊🎁🎄☃️

Janet Towles

When I saw this post, I *stopped eating* to come listen. It was worth it 😁. I love this, and I love that since you’re basically an inverse Mariah, you’ve inverted one of her flagship songs. Perfect!

Dorothy Rosenberg

Thank you for transforming a “precious” piece of fluff into something wonderful. I appreciate the tempo, key, and mood changes. Your talent & musical intelligence are matched only by that final long, deep note! OMG PS I’m grateful for your artistic honesty: you’re confident of your voice so there’s no need for over the top production gimmicks. A perfect song, sung simply perfectly.

MEGAN FEAR

Such a refreshing version of this song 😊

DnD Addict

Everything I didn't know I needed from that song!!! As always Geoff, you don't cover songs you upgrade them

Sue Armstrong

That is absolutely lovely! I love the retro "classic Christmas" feel. Puts me in mind of those holiday variety shows in the 70s when I was a kid. Not the cheesy aspects, the heartwarming homey aspect. :D

Tine

Also well done making that sunny Orlando background look like a snowy backdrop. You outdid yourself on this one

Gaisha Ziapour Edwards

All I want for Christmas is to play this song, it's so beautiful.❤️🌻

Diane Holland

I really like this song, but it really gets overplayed. After listening to Geoff’s smooth voice, I will be listening to this daily.

Dorothy Rosenberg

Interesting comment. I believe it says more about you than the song. A word of warning: don’t read poetry by e. e. cummings. Sentence fragments will drive you around the bend should you stumble upon poetry by Leonard Cohen. It’s a dangerous world out there because language (and rules of grammar) constantly change. In my day, adverbs ended with “ly.”

Erma Payne

All I want for Christmas is to hear you sing! Love this!

Helen Harrison

You’ve outdone yourself yet again but the burning question is….. Will you be making a full version? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🥰

Grace Files

Wow Geoff, this version is amazing😍 I love the unique spin that you put on it, I honestly love it so much more than the original version😅 Thank you for making this, it is a great present🥰

Els Peeters (=jopperke)

Was that a tiny, almost invisible smirk at the end? 😏 Because yes: EAT THAT M. C.! Make way for this huuuuuge upgrade!

Tracie Schlaak

Of course you would do it in 3/4 time. I love it!!!❤️😊

Alyssa Daniels

Thanks for this short Christmas gift! You are a miracle worker with re-working these songs to sound new

Cécile Roussey

Dear Geoff, I really like your interpretation and it’s so sweet and it made me something in the chest in a very pleasant way... like sensations of vibration so it’s soothing... like a massage from the inside... I don’t know how to describe it, it’s so beautiful and it’s so relaxing, so sweet... and I prefer your version... I can’t wait to see the video ^^

Cloudy Skies

Clearly a smirk...for all the patrons who said "no, please no!"

Cloudy Skies

Golly. I hate this song so much. But I could listen to your solidly smooth voice all day. If that isn't a Christmas miracle, I don't know what is. **sigh**

Beth Walsh

I think I'll make a list of all the songs I hate and give it to Geoff so he can make me love them. Hasn't failed yet.

Karen Grace

Nothing to forgive! This is beautiful. I love the way you did it.

AmbularD

The original is way overplayed, but it's a pretty song, and this version is lovely. Thank you! ❤️

Tara Congo

Oh that's so pretty!! I was curious about if you'd go the bubbly Mariah or more chill Bublé route, and instead you did your own thing entirely. The timing change and descent at the end were really lovely. Thanks Geoff! 🎄🎁

Jessica Guerrero

DAMN! Love the version you did sounds a billion times better especially that last note

Maria Stoycheva

I do avoid poetry generally, yes. Song lyrics have been written like the subs of this video for a while and I still don't get it :D still appreciate the accessibility of including subtitles, of course ^^

Agnes EvaR

I was hoping you would actually do this song. You kept the melody close to the original, yet the slight changes made it so different. And the rhythm changes make the whole song unique. I love your timbre in this piece. That look at the end is so lovely. Luckily you didn't have to go far to shoot this video. Thank you, Geoff!

Cécile Roussey

At the moment, this sweet passage, I’m just replaying your video... Thank you very much Geoff and you did well ;-) <3

Leisa S

Nothing to forgive. We need to thank you ☺️❤️🎄

Michael Webb

This was better than the original

Lynn M

Love this version, so pretty. I kinda expected you to go humorous on this, but I like that you went serious with it.

Riley

You have a gift for making songs that've been played to death sound new and good and sweet to the ear. Loved it.

Shirley B Karr

Okay, you did it. Pulled off another Christmas miracle. I loathe the overplayed original but this one... I like it. I'm still going to watch your other Christmas videos more, and Till Then, but this one is a nice little snack at this length. Love the touch of a single present on the piano!

Celia

Glorious!

Dorothy Rosenberg

Trying to make sense of English grammar, usage, & customs is a frustrating exercise. Love your name - my sister is also named Maria. She’s married to a Russian so her last name is a workout for Americans and all spell-check functions.

Debs Badger

🤷🏻‍♀️I still say no.

SunnyOutlook

Yep! You are the master of arrangements. Wonderful!!!

Amelia

The only time I've heard this song where I didn't groan about it's horribleness. You sir have some sort of superpower. Keep on making wonderful music. :)

LaRae

Wow! Please record the whole song! That was so beautiful. ❤️

Christine Stromberg

You have redeemed this song. Thank you. :) I hope this is beig released for public viewing.

Cécile Roussey

I listen to it several times and it’s very nice... I can not do without it ^^ When I listened to the original, I didn’t really like it... But when Geoff sings it in his own way, so I buy ^^ Thank you very must Geoff ! ^^

Cayden

First time ive ever heard this song and not hated it😂 was that a D1 at the end??👀

Suzy Bailey

From cringeworthy to dreamy, I love it! To quote from Jack's Lament, "There are few who'd deny at what I do I am the best". You certainly are Geoff, your talent for making songs either better than the original or at least a hell of a lot more interesting, never ceases to amaze and please me! 😊💜

AmbularD

Okay, so I don't usually ask, as it feels presumptuous. But if you are giving any consideration at all to doing a full version of this one, that would be really amazing.

Lady D Richter

Ok, I finally sat down to have a listen. I think I can forgive you...THIS TIME 😉

Angela Scheiber

I think I am one of the the few here who likes the og (even though you are right that it is very overplayed). I like your version very much as well though and would love a full version. Well, all I want for Christmas is you-r music (and if possible videos for it), sooooo.... Thank you 😊

Dooley

Love it
