I can’t believe Kelly belted that note that Mariah sang with head voice, and she did it TWICE. Their banter reminded me of Aretha and Celine at the Divas 98
They both held their own. Fantasia's delivery is lively and gritty, Kelly's delivery is strong and melodic. It's just a matter of preference. Some people are not familiar with the black church experience, so Fantasia would not be your flavor, but it doesn't devalue what she brings to the table, because someone can't relate to it. But they BOTH were awesome.
This is an old christmas song however the runs and arrangements are taken from carey's adaptation. carey has only written three original songs from her Merry christmas album being AIWFCIY miss you and Jesus born on this day
My lord people stop all the hate and Prejudice!! They both did wonderful, It was a conderful collaboration by both singers. Stop seeing black and white, see that talent. They are living their dreams be happy for that. That is what wrong with america now, just want to see color and not who people really are. Can you not see them enjoying themselves, having fun singing a GOSPEL SONG. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOULS!!!
They look like they were having fun with this, I love kelly's voice and Fantasia just has soo much energy on stage it's fantastic!!! And I Agree with you too 93230!!I'm glad they sang this song
Praise our Loving Almighty HEAVENLY FATHER GOD through his Loving Dear Sweet Merciful Precious Saving Joyful Caring Healing Son JESUS CHRIST. Love when singers sing for our Loving FATHER GOD through his Loving Precious Mighty Son JESUS CHRIST. Yes Sing Praises until the LORD. Kelly can Sing but Fantasia put her Church her Heart her Soul until this Performance. I Love when Fantasia Sings To See King JESUS where he lay in a Manager a Manger filled with hay. 🙏🏾🙏🏾😇😇😇🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love this video. I don't think they were competing at all. They had awesome give and take. Each one let the other shine and do what they do best. I think they were both "in the Spirit". They were lifting up Jesus. It was just beautiful and exciting. Tasia and Kelly ripped it!!!!
@nanee61 No we're not all crazy but the melodies and interpretations that these two ladies are performing on stage is the version that Mariah recorded on her 1994 Merry Christmas album. Wouldn't be surprised if she did write this though because she has written so many other classics that make you stop and wonder "Is this a remake?"
What some people fail to realize is that Fantasia voice is what makes her unique-the same as Kelly (she has that country sounding appeal)both have nice voices...no one in the world speaks alike so why should singing voices be any different..
Proof that Fantasia and Kelly should record together-would be great for both genres and fanbases! Honestly one of the best performances I've seen in my life!
Fantasia&Kelly sont fantastiques ! J'adore le gospel et je le pratique et c'est vraiment magnifique ! elles ont des voix sublimes et elles fournissent un très bon travail ! Vraiment bravo !!! Continuez !
Lift the King of Glory in praise.. he coming back y'all.. much sooner than Israel than wasts to know and accept.. y'all saints gotr your reservations?.. Don't miss your flight..you have come to far by faith now.. to be let behind..and you DON't want to be here on earth in the age darkness..get ready, get ready, get ready!
What the hell is up with people comparing singers like it's a competition!?! Grow up and learn to live with the fact that people like different artists and singing styles. As for this video, then it's a wonderful performance by two great singers.
Había visto este video hace varios años atrás... que bueno que me volví a topar con él. Hay una presentación de Mariah en vivo desde una iglesia, cantando esta canción, pero creo que nadie lo subió aquí. :(
Kelly has done SO many Mariah songs (or remakes of versions of songs that Mariah has done like this one or Don't Play That Song for Me) and it's strange that I've never heard any mention or praise from Kelly to Mariah (or recognition from Mariah of her obvious influence on Kelly's style and success).
Fantasia was in a generous mood that night and allowed Kelly some shine. They must've made a pre-show pact that Tasia wouldn't slaughter her gladiator style. Kelly did a great Mariah impersonation though.
Kelly Clarkson, Cristina Aguilera, Leona Lewis are the top 3 that are very Mariah Carey (1990-1997, vocal style) influenced. they have said it themselves, so if you HATE mariah, you just hating on the mother of these modern vocalist.. Kelly Clarkson really loves Mariah, she did the version mariah did, but Mariahs version is the best to me...
i think we all just want top think there trying to outshine eachother...and so we make ourselves believe thats what we see. i totally dont think there trying to outshine, i think there just feeling the music and thats whats making them belt wicked high and riff alot.

Awesome, I have a new appreciation for both of them.
It was the Home for the Holidays Christmas special that was aired two years ago, I think.
They both have their own way of singing; they're both great singers
Kelly was definitely keeping up! I'm proud of her! B/C Fantasia is a BEAST, especially when delivering the word of God!
JESUS...JESUS...JESUS...
I didn't know Kelly could sing with such soul. big up to her and fantasia.
I luv Kelly!!

What the hell is up with people comparing singers like it's a competition!?! Grow up and learn to live with the fact that people like different artists and singing styles. As for this video, then it's a wonderful performance by two great singers.
Praise Him
WOW... They both did a GREAT JOB! I am stll loving Kelly though.. Fantasia was a bit scratchy.. But they both are very talented.

I have sung this arrangement (the choir part, not the solo part). It's a fun to sing as it is to listen to.
In December 2021 Created By Welcome To The Merry Christmas New York City Musical Arrived: Jesus, Oh What A Wonderful Child
I AGREE!
Yeah like, "I love Jesus more than you!"
"Oh, no, you don't!"
Holy crap! The notes they hit! lol
The song is nice...leave it at that...these girls sound good.

Fantasia sang the song like she really knew Jesus. Whereas Kelly was just singing.
Sang !!
thats just how the song goes.. so if you want to hear a different song... thats another story.
Praise HIM!!!!
oh my god Kelly sound be Christina Aguilera 2:05
Hey Gdird,
Can you tell me who sang the original "Jesus, Oh What A Wonderful Child?
Fantasia was in a generous mood that night and allowed Kelly some shine. They must've made a pre-show pact that Tasia wouldn't slaughter her gladiator style. Kelly did a great Mariah impersonation though.
Kelly Clarkson, Cristina Aguilera, Leona Lewis are the top 3 that are very Mariah Carey (1990-1997, vocal style) influenced.

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH
Everyone tries to copy Mariah...but nobody can sing as she does...Mariah is unique and the best
Girl bye
Mariah Carey Did Not Write This Song But This Verion Of The Song Was Constucted By Mariah Carey Fisrt On Her 1994 Christmas Album Thank You Very Much
i think we all just want top think there trying to outshine eachother...and so we make ourselves believe thats what we see. i totally dont think there trying to outshine, i think there just feeling the music and thats whats making them belt wicked high and riff alot.
