Michael Crawford, "O Holy Night" Remastered

I took both videos I could find on this song with Michael Crawford and put them together. I then added a new, cleaner soundtrack and twiked it to make it more broad, more powerful in sound. Hope you all like!

[@TanBurishere]

There are many versions close to perfection, but no one tops this version. Simply stunning!!

@Armani Jamal you are welcome :D

[@MoMoMyPup10]

People will say Josh Groban, others will say David Phelps, but whoever's version you like the best you really shouldn't decide until you here THIS! There are many great Christmas songs but in comparison to Michael Crawford and "O Holy Night" they all fall very, very short. This is Christmas. And if you miss the meaning of this song, you miss Christmas. You miss life in general.

[@patrickjarvis6160]

Michael Crawford owns it!

[@ethelreeder]

This will bring you to your knees. Thank you Jesus!

[@MichaelCH2007]

Josh Groban's was my favorite version, but then I found out Michael Crawford's existed.

[@msempathy]

Agreed.

[@karenstanley8402]

I remember staying up until the end of the David Foster's Christmas special to see Michael Crawford sing my favorite Christmas song. And since then most others have not even come close. It takes a strong tenor to hit that Noel with such power. I play this version every year. I love this traditional and beautiful rendition.

[@selfaware114]

K. Treechick yeah such power ...... angels turn green envy I mean. It’s not there fault the flesh is not only evil rather thru it came redemption. Glory to him who came . And will come again in great glory and power such as have never been seen in heaven or on earth.

[@oohyllab]

I love how his voice fills the stadium or whatever they're in. Perfect!

[@MeredithAnne88]

This is my favorite version, ever since the first time I heard it. If ever there was an angel of music...

[@llncivitello58]

Michael Crawford was the original Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. His voice puts me in such a peaceful, serene place....

[@carlorachel]

Heaven in a song. Feel the joy and it will take you where you need to be. Merry Christmas, everyone!

[@gordoh7634]

Michael's breath control near the song's end is incredibly striking and quite frankly unbelievable. I just don't know how he jumps octaves at triple forte and then holds a perfect whole note at pianissimo with perfect pitch and vibrato. This goes on forever as Christ's love does...

[@flshstar1]

Best "Holy Night" version in my opinion.

[@donnamondor3753]

Me too... Agree!!

[@larrycj4382]

Me too!!!!

[@TSD438]

Very nice. I love the Choir too. They all blend so nicely together. Beautiful..

[@stevesawyer6315]

I played this hymn to end my wife's funeral service in May of 2018. I have lost count of how many times we watched this version on the TSO DVD over the years. Same amount of tears flow every single time 30 months later. Always will.

[@elisemenne8758]

I can not think of better hymn to end your wife's funeral service, Steve. God bless you, and her where she now listens to music we can not even comprehend.

[@jamesbarr1773]

I never knew that I had a caring heart until I heard Michael singing this song,now I know that I have heart.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Remastered, or not, Praise His Holy Name!

[@TheRusty13149]

This is a wonderful performance. The pictures of Michael Crawford with the children and dressed in a tuxedo are from the Trans Siberian Orchestra video. It is simply breathtaking! I get weak in the knees, and I'm a 60-something Army veteran. Nothing at all scares me, but this music buckles my knees. Merry Christmas everyone! And, btw, nice editing work, Glen!

[@glenh75]

Thank you, Sir! And thanks for serving in our Armed Forces! Merry Christmas!

[@llncivitello58]

As do I....with tears in my eyes by the end of it!

[@jpart61]

Where can I find the Trans Siberian video version. I think KZbin took it down?

[@TheRusty13149]

@@jpart61 YES!! There are used DVDs available on Ebay! ENJOY!!!

[@jersey2983]

This has got to be the greatest voice on the planet!!!! Absolutely Amazing

[@stevekoenig3684]

The most beautiful recording I've ever heard. Crawford puts so much into it, and the children's choir enhances it.

[@baire702]

I have video of my son in a swing with this song playing in the background. it was on TV when it was originally broadcast. it always brings tears to me because of my son being a baby at the time and my grandfather was with us then.

[@kenmarchlenski4477]

It can't be done better by mere mortals! Crawford MUST be a Believer Christian to put this much soul in his work here! How blessed we are to live when we all can see and hear this simply by turning on our Computer or Radio!

[@Kat51]

I've heard Jewish people like Barbra Streisand do beautiful renditions of Christmas songs. To say someone has to be Christian believer to sing so beautifully is ignorant.

[@kenmarchlenski4477]

Kat51 Reading negativity into such an accolade is "Ignorant". Perhaps he is not even a Christian. There is a natural pathos that is available to every experience taken and given. That's ALL I meant. Do you think she could sing a bit better about her very own Mother than she could about a stranger?

[@AkashicAstral]

Ken March I am not Christian, in fact, I do not believe in the Bible nor in man-made religion... Christians in fact hate me since I am a Psychic Medium and yet this song opens my heart... it is the vibration of the sound and the soul that this man puts into the song what makes it beautiful.

[@glenh75]

AkashicAstral I'm a Satanist. And I put up this video.. Don't matter what religion you fallow, good music is good music. And Michael Crawford does it best!

[@kenmarchlenski4477]

glenh75 Well said and good integrity. Why have you chosen to be a Satanist? Is the basic reason because you feel it's More True than let's say traditional Religions, OR is it because you believe that you can have more control over your daily circumstances than to appeal to another god of God?

[@robinchung4060]

Beautifully sung by Michael Crawford. I love this video. The children are beautiful too. Nothing but joy here!

[@judybrown-anderson5363]

O Holy Night Has Been My ALL Time Favorite Beloved Christmas Songs Of All Time Especially With My Other Favorite Singers Like David Phelps, Josh Groban, Johnny Manuel, Danny Gokey and Michael Crawford and GOD Bless Him FOR His incredible Performance Of This incredible Performance Ever and O' Come On, Michael Crawford ALSO Was Famous For His Role Of The Phantom Of The Opera and Man Am I Really Do Feel Those Overwhelming Tears Streaming On My Face Listening To SUCH Beautiful Angels 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇 On High???

[@philby611]

This is the best version I have ever heard of "O Holy Night." Michael Crawford's voice is simply beautiful; he reaches those high notes seemingly effortlessly.

[@rickwilliamson9248]

Most singers couldn't hit that first "Noel" - Michael is just warming up for the next two. And then to be able to sing that softly at the end? Simply God-given talent.

[@ethelreeder]

@@rickwilliamson9248 yes yes!

[@botschild]

I remember watching this on TV in the 90's. No other version has ever come close to capturing what Michael Crawford did here.

[@Anonymous-qg9xx]

December 1993!!! David Foster's Christmas Album!! TV special!!

[@gillwilkinsongw]

I totally agree with Russell Smith. I heard Michael Crawford sing this several years ago at work, and turned it up really loud as soon as it started. I was completely 'blown away' I have his Christmas album now and play it over and over again at Christmas. It builds and builds till you get to the end and then he hits that high note TWICE . Well done Frank Spencer! I love you to bits - you are my hero!

[@jenniferfriedman3777]

Gill W which Christmas album is it on? I can't find it

[@chrispengraves6487]

YES THE WOW!! VERSION still sounds great even after nearly 30 years

This is simply gorgeous. I don't believe I've ever heard a more lovely rendition of this timeless Christmas song.

[@lorettahughes7742]

Excellent beautiful Loretta

[@carlorachel]

From someone who writes Christmas music, having written a song per year for years as gifts to my family by which to remember each very special season, I am in awe every time I hear this work, by this artist. I agree with everyone on this blog that this version is the blessed one. We get to peek inside Heaven when we hear this. God bless.

[@TheAllience]

The best version of this song period is a crime to be denied the people of the world or at least KZbin!

[@rmalachowski]

Mystified as to why all the "Christmas Music" radio stations ONLY play the Groban version...this is far superior! Wake up WARM 101.3.

[@kellylopes5642]

My thoughts exactly. I think Groban does it great- but Michael Crawford does it better than perfect.

[@choirkitty]

Agreed, I am just as much a Josh Groban fan as anyone else out there, but Michael's version is simply magical. You listen to this and get chills from it. Not every artist can do that. But far my most favorite version of this beautiful song

[@larrycj4382]

Here in the US, Michael's version does get airplay especially on Christmas Eve. Josh's version (which I do like) gets more airplay because it is newer.

[@phangirl1986]

Lol it's weird hearing the Phantom sing Christmas carols! Beautiful job, as always, Michael Crawford.

[@lancer525]

This is the crystal clarity and purity of tone of voice that marks a true singer, and not all the nasal warbling and overvocalization that you hear in today's "pop stars". This has to be the single greatest version of this piece of music that has ever been recorded. Bar none.

[@msempathy]

This is magnificent! This song is one of the most beautiful ever written. Its performance by Mr. Crawford could not be more stirring- especially when the children help to carry it soaring skyward. And your editing effort is superb. In my opinion this song and in particular your presentation of it is the best available- anywhere. I Post it every year to my friends on Facebook. Goose Bumps!!!!

Enjoy it while it's here... every version of Crawford singing this gets yanked due to copyright. To me, this is the best version of the song ever recorded. It is the only essential version... Groban and Celine Dion's versions are nice... but this is a masterpiece. I'm not a religious type person and still I can't get through it without tearing up.
