Christmas songs with a twist

By AEDRIANNE ACAR


 
While everyone is caught up in the holiday rush, this week’s Mood Music offers a new kind of twist in its playlist of holiday songs.

Out muna ang traditional songs tulad ng Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer as we spiced things up with the songs of Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey and Michael Buble.

Get ready because this Christmas playlist by Talk to Papa host Papa Obet will get you fired up for one heck of a celebration.

First up in our list is the pop phenom from Ontario, Canada, Justin Bieber, who electrified the world with his infectious single Baby early 2010. Now he commands a strong following, especially in social media with 58 million followers in Facebook and 24 million in Instagram.

For his fans, Justin Bieber is the only gift they want from good old Santa Claus. Enjoy his holiday song Christmas Eve.

Touch My Body singer Mariah Carey is a vocal juggernaut who commands a strong presence on the concert stage. This time her up beat/ dance holiday ensemble Oh Santa showcased her playful side and versatility. Thus, affirming her status as one of the top-selling artists of all time.

Girls, check out the song and Father Christmas might grant your wish and give you your dream guy. As the lyrics goes, “So grant this wish for me right quick. Santa won't you come and make him mine this Christmas night.”


Crooner Michael Bublé will sweep you off your feet once you hear his delectable cool voice. The Canadian Grammy winner whose style of singing was inspired by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett will make you feel the warmth of the holidays with his song Grown Up Christmas List. (Michael’s version is not available on Spotify so you are getting Christian Bautista in the playlist instead).

Enjoy the festive season!
