I agree. His and NKC’s renditions get me everytime.
If you like O Holy Night and you want to hear a beautiful version you must hear Josh Groban’s. His voice is similar, maybe deeper than Crawford’s and is just unbelievable—a dramatic voice for a dramatic song. He recorded it ten years ago, so it is fairly new. I prefer the old songs, but make an exception for this one.
