It's tricky sharing it in other Facebook groups, as I don't want anyone to feel like I'm spamming

 

[drseuss1217]

well i will admit i am still partial to the Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Burl Ives, Nat King Cole songs

 

[drseuss1217]

even though the radio plays them constantly

 

[drseuss1217]

i have had trouble finding newer artists that sounds like they really want to sing the songs

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

Everyone has their favorites. I love those guys, too. I just try to play more than the one song each that regular radio give them.

 

[drseuss1217]

and not just doing it because there agent said it makes money

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

Yeah, a lot of it sounds like they're phoning it in

 

[drseuss1217]

Sarah Mclaughlin said her agent was telling her for years to do a Christmas album before she actually did one

 

[drseuss1217]

feels like its a pressure point they are bullied into

 

[drseuss1217]

ause it makes money

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

Elton John has been fighting doing one for decades

 

[drseuss1217]

cause

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

Yeah, Josh Groban's Christmas album was the biggest selling album of 2007! Out of everything that was released that year, Christmas and otherwise. And everyone wants a piece of that.

 

[drseuss1217]

they sure do, Hallmark is making a fortune too

 

[drseuss1217]

I love reading there posts that they are playing Christmas movies to make there audience happy and to give them something to be cheerful about

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

But Hallmark has gotten an audience that loves what they do. They've made that into their thing. And their audience loves it.

 

[SoundsofChristmas]

Hallmark could do that year-round, and people would watch

 

[drseuss1217]

no doubt at all
