This is probably the most conventional song on my list. A beautiful song, that can be vocally challenging, and NEEDS to be sung by someone who can just let it fly at the right parts. There are about 200 versions of this song on youtube, and I have to tell you, it wasn't even hard picking this one out as the best.
I saw Martina McBride in concert once many, many, many moons ago, when she was opening for Clint Black. Based off the fact that I was in Upstate New York going to prototype, it had to have been 1995, which, amazingly, is approaching 16 years ago. I remember being much more impressed by her as the opening act, than by Clint Black. Her voice is just as good now as it was then.
One of those mysterious things, why she doesn't rule country music. She has had a successful career, including winning CMA Female Vocalist of the Year three years in a row, 2002, 2003, and 2004. But, she isn't blond, or 23, so, she is at a disadvantage compared to Carrie Underwood and Julie Hough, or Kellie Pickler.
Anyway..Number 9 on my list, Martina McBride performing 'O Holy Night'.
