I was a voting CS fan when he was on idol I was so delighted with his comic timing and LOVED his voice, Now he has made an album of songs from his faith.. I saw him on the Dove awards Love it!
Am I a winner?

I would choose that new song "No Air" by Chris Brown and that AI chick.
This song reminds me so much how i feel for my wife.

I would dedicate "Can't Smile Without You" by the Carpenters to my husband. That was our song while dating. We have been married for 27 years and have three children. I have had some health issues including fighting breast cancer and I don't know what I would have done without the support of my husband to get me through. He had to do many things a husband would have said they didn't want to do but he did it without complaining. For example, he gave me a bath and helped me shave my legs. He changed my bandages when I couldn't bring myself to look. Even though we have met trying times in the past few years, we could not imagine being without each other.

"Xmas Ain't Coming" by Betty
==

"I’m stuck without you / My red-nosed reindeer / Xmas ain’t coming this year / And why ... Do they lie? /
There’s no joy in the world...

So I open a can of cranberry sauce / And in each perfect slice see the life that was lost / But, wrapped in your parka, sometimes love feels so near… I guess xmas ain’t coming …it’s here... "

Betty is not a her but a them.

I first heard this song on "Last Call with Jeremy Hovies" on Sirius satellite's "OutQ" and fell in love with its existence as an "anti-Christmas-Song" Christmas song.

Modern Christmas songs (as opposed to traditional Christmas Carols) are if you listen closely enough rather depressing odes from people lost in fantasies of how Christmas is "supposed to be."

But the singer who "will be home for Christmas" didn't assume he'd have it except for in his dreams. And most people forget that "White Christmas" is warbled from someone "in Beverly Hills, El Ayyyy" wanting to be where they aren't. My favorite fantasy phrase in White Christmas is actually "And children listen." (In my experience, they never do.)

So while the music of "Xmas Ain't Coming" has the requisite string section and modern rock Christmas song accoutrement's, it's a seemingly sad ode to being alone and away from ones love. (Not necessarily true love, but why be depressed even more about it.)

Two of the greatest loves of my life moved away from South Dakota in 2005. One to Reno and the other initially to Florida but now in Nebraska. I dedicate
"Xmas Ain't Coming" by Betty to them.

Whether holidays are truly meaningful or not, they are the chance to share something with whomever makes you happy. But in the Prozac deadened world where it's now an anti-Christian act for stores to suggest that "Happy Holidays" exist for other religions ... it's taken for granted that December 24th and 25th are for many "just-another-days."

Not just being alone and missing someone, (though it's compounded even more if a loved one or relative died closer to Thanksgiving or Christmas or Valentines Day), there are people who just get to watch others enjoy whatever they're enjoying be it Hanukkah, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa or Ramadan. Not everyone gets presents, or cards, or kisses under the mistletoe in front of a roaring fire.

The mistake in interpreting "Xmas Ain't Coming" is missing the fact that it's a love song, similar to one that kicks off Al Franken's ultimate codependent comedy Stuart Saves his Family": "I want to be happy, but I can't be happy til I make you happy too."

Christmas is not for single people or long distance romance. But if you're remembering your lover while wearing their clothing or perfume/cologne ... it is Christmas.

I would dedicate School's Out for the Summer to all of my fellow teachers because we deserve to celebrate another year!

I would love new music

Loved his hair and his music. Hope to enjoy his cd

count me in please :)

I would dedicate If I Didn't Have You by Amanda Marshall to Jason. He's been there for me through everything. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here today. He had help me get my life in order. This song reminds me so much how i feel about him.

I would dedicate Chris's song "Vessel" to my grandfather who passed away from cancer in January. My grandpa was an amazing person, always laughing and cracking jokes even when he was sick. I miss him a lot but this song reminds me that life is precious and our lives are all at Gods will.
