25 Different Versions of "Silver Bells"

There are many, many ways in which a classic Christmas tune can be ruined by a bad arrangement or a dreadful singer. But these are not those. These are 25 great renditions of an iconic tune. Feel free to pick and choose as you please. I hope you will...enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Meaghan Smith  (This young woman has an "old soul" and makes adorable music.)

2)  Twisted Sister  (Let's go ahead and get the weirdest one out of the way early. Actually, the song itself isn't that weird, but boy-oh-boy is this video a piece of work!)

3)  A Few Good Men  (I miss the '90s!)

4)  Bob Hope & Marilyn Maxwell  (Apparently, this is "the original" version...at least according to the YouTube poster.)

5)  Tony Bennett  (*Almost* nobody does it better than Tony!)

6)  The Polyphonic Spree  (This is a truly unique arrangement. It's great!)

7)  Clay Aiken & Megan Mullally  (Nice duet by an Idol and a comedienne.)

8)  The Temptations  (What makes this version different than all the rest? It's all about that bass!)

9)  Bing Crosby  (Of course, Bing is a part of this collection. I mean, how could he not be?)

10)  Amy Grant & Marc Martel  (The Queen of Christian Contemporary pairs up with the Man Who Would Be Queen in this apt duet. There's a bonus song at the end that you're sure to either love or detest.)  

11)  John Legend  (The Sexiest Man Alive – LOL! – takes on a Christmas classic – and KILLS it!)

12)  Elvis Presley  (This post would be incomplete without The King!)

13)  The Supremes  (I've never heard this version before, but they more than do it justice.)

14)  Don Ho  (Let's add a little tropical flavor to the mix!)

15)  Jim Nabors  (Gomer Pyle shore could sang purdy! Shazam!)

16)  She & Him  (If you don't recognize her from the album cover, the "She" in She & Him is Zooey Deschanel from the movie Elf, another Christmas classic.)

17)  Harry Connick, Jr.  (Classy, swinging version. I would expect no less from Harry.)

18)  William Shatner  (If you ever wanted to hear a dramatic reading of a Christmas song, you're about to. This isn't a great version, but it's certainly one-of-a-kind!)

19)  Brenda Lee  (Can't go wrong with Brenda Lee at Christmastime!)

20)  Andy Williams & The Osmonds  (This is the kind of treacly crap that quickly becomes irksome during the holiday season. But dang, that Andy can sing!)

21)  Love And Theft  (I'm mostly unfamiliar with this band, but I like them a lot!)

22)  Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors  (Gorgeous harmonies and instrumentation!)

23)  Stevie Wonder  (Good stuff!)

24)  Johnny Mathis  (The man's voice is like honey! So smooth!)

25)  Gloria Estefan  (Let's spice it up a bit for the grand finale!)
