WoW Moviewatch: All I Want for Christmas is a Blue

I've mentioned it before and I'll say it again. I have a soft spot for good WoW music, and really enjoy the idea that I can put together a great holiday album of WoW themed Christmas music. theavatards have posted a great submission to that album on YouTube with All I Want for Christmas is a Blue. It is a simple story of a woman who always gets greens, and never gets a blue.
The video itself is fairly easy on the eyes. It's got the singer, of course, and some nice use of surreality when she inspects real-life items for WoW-like quality. There's a little bit of in-game animation to make sure we know what game we're talking about here. The music is really where the piece shines, however. The music is simple and uncomplex, lending all of the song's focus on the singer. The singer does a great job of vocals, performing in a traditional holiday tone and method. This is totally worth checking out, and is already now living on my iPod.

Surprisingly non-terrible performance!

Just woke up and the singer hurt my ears... >.<
Her notes were so inconsistent when she was singing. She was all over the place. She sounded like my cat at 2am.
If I actually cared enough I'd give it a 1 out of 5 stars. But I don't.

And yet you take the time to make a comment about how little you care..

I understand his point, her voice does drift alot.
But she also has potential.
Spelunker Dec 29th 2008 2:06PM
Dude, what are you talking about? Her voice is great, and with some voice lessons could be awesome. She has great range and vocal ability.
Seriously, go listen to your cat at 2 am and then listen to her. You're an idiot.

The original version was even more over the place. The only difference is Mariah Carey had a producer to polish it so it's slightly less grating.

Yeah she's not really setting very high goals with wanting blues.
But in order to fit with the song properly, I'll overlook her lack of ambition. :P

Okay, Nobody will confuse her with Mariah Carey. I think she did a good job. Judge it for what it is..

Actually she has a really reaalt great voice, and I think she could actually make a great singer.
I just find it really, really sad that she is singing about WoW >__< It is cringable tbh. Still, really nice voice.

She's got an excellent voice and vocal style. With some training and experience, she could be an excellent singer.

I think her voice was great... and I know exactly how she feels when she walks past that window at the end and sees the epic and looks at it all enviously. Happens to me on AH daily :P

Very nice voice, great looks, she could make the top 10 on idol if she has range. Great vid.

Great voice, but needs less karaoke and more training.
Cute song.
