Since Bernadette has never recorded a Christmas (or holiday) album, what holiday songs would you love to hear her sing (or record)?
I would love to hear her sing "White Christmas" 
That song has such sweet notes and words that would sound so right coming out of her mouth

If you can get your hands on a copy of the BC/EFA Carols for a Cure from 1999, the entire cast of AGYG sings White Christmas. A fitting tribute since AGYG is also by Irving Berlin. Bernadette has a rather lengthy solo.

Thanks moljul...I'll try to get a copy of it. I have heard of that cd, but I never saw it in stores...I think it can only be bought on the internet? Is there a link to listen to it?
I would still love to hear her sing that song completely solo though.

Well here's a link for buying it but it doesn't list an option to listen to any tracks. I think it might be avaiable in some "Broadway" stores in Manhattan but probably not until closer to Christmas. Though I must admit, this version of White Christmas is definitely not among my favorite BP songs. It didn't really use very much of her range and I found it rather boring.

I dunno this is just my opinion but I'd rather not have her sing anything very religious and instead do songs like "Winter Wonderland" and so on. It's just because if you aren't Christian then sometimes hearing celebrity after celebrity sing songs about Jesus gets a little frustrating (and I know this is just me and obviously no on e singing those songs means to make people feel bad). I'd be curious to hear her sing something in Hebrew.

ooo- another Jewish board member? wow! anyway, even though I am Jewish, i LOVE Christmas songs, and would LOVE for Bernadette to record a Holiday Album. But it would be interesting to hear Bernadette sing "I have a little dreidle."

I'm Catholic, and I've never heard of that song. Who else has recorded it, so maybe it might ring a bell for me?

I believe Nat King Cole recorded the definitive and most popular version. The song has a negro spiritual feel to it. I agree, a great song.

It's been stuck in my head ever since I thought of this topic!

A little off topic perhaps, but I owuld like to see Bernadette perform a duet of "I Wan'na Be Like You" from the Jungle Book ! But who could she do that with. It's quite a fun song, and perhaps a man with a deeper voice. Without dismissing more technically adept artists, perhaps Bill Cosby.
Well - I'd like it anyway ! And I just can't get it oota my head !

Whoops - sorry, I got the wrong song, although nothing in the Jungle Book is bad !
What I meant was "I'm the King of the Swingers, yeah, the Jungle VIP..."
