[@slayyedvocalss2975]

IKR!!!

[@whoooisv]

I love how you're sticking to your youtube tradition of just sitting down and jamming with friends (with tori!,) same as it used to be like 10+ years ago. Keeping it super genuine and all about the music. Love it.

[@raaason]

AJ’s piano skills.. I’m completely blown away!

[@NotOfficialJosh]

does he have perfect pitch cause he's playing every song perfecty. if not teach me your secret master.

[@amandayang5604]

I love how raw and unrehearsed this is. I love how this year’s Christmas video is not too overly “produced” and just down to earth. Extreme talent and musicality. Aj with his transitions, harmonizing, tori keeping up with aj’s key changes, etc.

[@evianeysa7517]

Damn agree with this!! 😍😍♥♥♥♥♥

[@ajrafael]

❤️❤️❤️

[@essennagerry]

That's what connects with us more and honestly the talent and skills are much more visible and digestable that way, I really prefer this type of stuff muuuch more.

Pros!!

[@justinoca4759]

Music theory!

[@damsapollo]

clearly AJ is on piano for a decade (or more!) so it's no surprise. He's a freaking pro.

[@viralmachiavelli]

Um.....that's what it's like to know your instrument

[@jessicatucker7421]

“I really must go...” “You can just go...” 😂😂

[@lyricsmaster4123]

I wanna learn to play piano without following written notes!!! Youre so talented hahahahhaa

[@itsmyhairiwear]

Lol at AJ trying to drop the “All I want for Christmas is you” song hint to Tori at 3:52 😂😂😂 . Great cover as always! Love you guys🤗

[@herberthamptonblue1073]

Thanks for this comment I missed it! But when I went back I almost peed my pants laughing 😂😂😂

[@abbi8700]

It would be just jolly if tori did a cover of that song 😍😍😍

That belting power on 21:30-21:37 is the cure for every sickness.

[@cris_here]

I love that Tori never estranged herself from her friends that she had before fame. That speaks volumes. happy holidays! 🎄

[@nigivlog3775]

Exactly! I love her so much 💕

It also benefits the stars because they know who’s a true friend versus users and posers. Win-win to keep your older loyal friends!

[@therock1232100]

Tori's vocals are amazing as usual. AJ's piano skills are off the chain. Amazing harmonies. Awesome improv medley!

[@jobmausali9228]

Tori Kelly's vocals are unmatched and just effortless whenever she sings...and she gorgeous as hell lol

[@NostalgicNathan]

That intro run to “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is everything! 👏 Tori NEEDS a Christmas album!

[@paolo2878]

You can see how raw their talents are that they’re doing it live without any kind of rehearsal or practice. I’ll take this any day rather than these singers/youtubers who have shit ton of editing for 1 cover song lul

11:35-12:35 still gives me chills on NoV 25 - 2019... man she has and gift and his talent is just raw you can tell music is literally flowing through them

[@cerealmilkshake]

yessss Tori and AJ! the ultimate only-holiday colabs ahaha

[@HilaryRampey]

This is just so impressive. Unrehearsed and still sounds amazing??? It’s a testament to how talented both of you are and I AM HERE. FOR. IT. HENNIES!

[@EstebanTalero99]

Oh man, been reading all these comments of people freaking out over Tori and stuff... and I don't blame them really: Tori Kelly is my favorite female voice, not only right now, but perhaps in all of history past ¡¡¡BUT COME ON!!! We *HAVE* to give some HUGE credit to AJ on the keys. This guy's absolutely amazing! I myself (well, I don't even consider myself a true musician, read on to see why) would _not_ be able do what AJ did whatsoever, to stand up to the occassion, and even if I did manage to play some progressions, I would not even sound close to what AJ really pulls off here. That, that just comes with years of playing and becoming so connected with the instrument, yourself, and the other person to truly be capable of emanating these God-inspired melodies and harmonies that our ears can then joyfully interpret as music. _That's_ a true musician. (Similar to what Mateus Asato, for example, does everytime he grabs a freakin guitar)... Ufff anyway, props my man. You rocked this one and I hope I can someday jam like this, so dammn good. Thanks for uploading :) follower from Colombia.

[@zacharydbooth]

The laughing parts makes this so good ❤️

[@Nouveux]

God Tori’s smile is so contagious

[@2268laura]

Whoever watched the live knows they used the second take 😂😂😂

Me: Sad and open youtube. Saw Aj and Tori singing christmas songs. Me: Smiling the whole the time!

[@MsFmorales]

Her voice is so clean and soothing

[@kabbagehero]

Who needs a Spotify playlist when I can just play this during Christmas dinner

[@gaudia3985]

Marveling at how good this is! AJ's piano skills, Tori's voice, the harmonies, camaraderie... the total improv is dope.

[@Patata0ke]

♥ how Aj managed to get the chords based on the live requests of the viewers :D So professional and very good at playing that keyboard.

I’ve never smiled so hard before for 20mins. It’s so great to see how much you both had fun. It’s amazing to see how much you’ve both grown over the years. I’ve followed both of you since the beginning and I’m so proud! You guys literally made my day so much happier. This is so cute. I hope one day I get to collaborate with you both. It’d be an honor.

Tori lowkey a queen of Christmas. Slaying all these songs like nothing. She sound so good! Of course, this wouldn't be possible without AJ's excellent accompaniment!

[@AdamAhn]

One of my fav things about the Christmas season is you guys collabing!
