    The Darkness - Christmas Time
    Queen - Thank God It's Christmas
    Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power of Love
    Boney M - Mary's Boy Child


    I prefer Tom Jones version of Baby It's Cold Outside

    The Darkness - Christmas Time ; another I didn't end up nominating, but was on my shortlist

    Queen - Thank God It's Christmas ; I hate Cliff Richard

    Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power of Love ; can't believe I forgot about this one when nominating - that's what happens when you're pissing about and not taking the tournament seriously

    Boney M - Mary's Boy Child ; meh, never been a fan of either

    The Darkness and Frankie with dominating victories. On whether something is a Christmas song or not, that's for y'all to decide I deliberately didn't put stipulations on the entries for that very reason :D

    Ok

    Clarence Carter: Back Door Santa 5 5 Gemma Hayes & Richard Egan - The Christmas song

    Despite the rather humorous name on Clarence Carter's song :P

    I'm voting for Gemma Hayes and Richard Egan, a song I didn't know I knew until I was compiling the YouTube vids for the contest.


    So...

    Clarence Carter: Back Door Santa 5 6 Gemma Hayes & Richard Egan - The Christmas song

    Sia - Santa's Coming For Us ; I quite like Sia's Christmas album

    Elvis Presley - Lonely This Christmas ; anything would beat Alexandra Burke butchering Hallelujah

    Prokofiev - "Troika" ; was this John Williams' inspiration for the Home Alone score?

    Dolly Parton - Hard Candy Christmas ; Dolly's a legend and I just remembered the absolute adoration Bubbles gets really annoys me

    This is a great round.

    Sara Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson - Winter Song VS Sia - Santa's Coming For Us
    I nominated Sia but I actually never thought of Winter Song as a Christmas tune. On that basis I'm going Sia. It's very upbeat.

    Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah VS Elvis Presley - Lonely This Christmas
    I'll reserve my Hallelujah vote for another artist.

    Prokofiev - "Troika" VS The Ronettes - Frosty The Snowman
    Frosty the Snowman is good. Troika is timeless though and somewhat epic.

    Dolly Parton - Hard Candy Christmas VS Michael Buble ft. Thalia - Feliz Navidad
    Bit of divesity sure.

    Sia - Santa's Coming For Us. I always feel that if you read the song title slightly differently it becomes altogether more sinister and could be the title of a Christmas slasher flick. :D

    Green&Red's vote eliminates Michael 'Bubbles' from the contest by the slimmest of margins.

    Surprised about the Sia result, I expected the result to go the other way if I'm honest.

    Twang - On the 24th ; I like it because it's not as cheery as the other one and I'm feeling my inner Grinch grow with every waking moment

    Phineas and Ferb - That Christmas Feeling ; they're both sickeningly sweet, but this one is less annoying

    Mariah Manson - All I Want For Christmas Is The Beautiful People ; I've claimed to hate Mariah Carey in the past, and yet I nominated this because it's amazing.

    Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas ; this one is very good, why doesn't this get played to death every year like some of the other sh*t, it's been knocking about long enough to be considered a classic
