O Holy Night Off - Round 1 Match RB2 Nat King Cole vs. RB7 Tracy Chapman
Nat King Cole sings one of the most popular and celebrated OHN covers. What makes it so good? It is a simple arrangement that highlights his voice. He is someone you could listen too all day, which makes the fact that it is one of the shortest OHN covers disappointing. Tracy Chapman has one of the coolest voices I have ever heard. Found this version in a compilation album. Again, simple, highlights the voice. Love the break between verses when she hums. However, in the end, she doesn't stand up to Nat King Cole. What do you think?
Nat King Cole without a doubt. His voice is just a strong and clear in this song as it is in everything he has ever done. Tracy Chapman's
ReplyDeleteversion to me is just average. I personally don't care for the humming in this song. Just my opinion.
His momma didn't name him King for no reason. TC has a unique sound, but the song seemed uninspired. Nat should move on.
