Default How do you like White Christmas sung?

Do you like the versions like Bing Crosby or do you like the versions like The Drifters more?I like The Drifters version and style of singing it much more.It's catchy too.I think it's my favorite Christams song.Elvis also sings it like The Drifters.

I am not really that fond of White Christmas but I have Frank Sinatra's version and I prefer his over Bing's. And yeah! I love the Drifter's rendition! It rocks!

How did Frank Sinatra sing it?

I don't like Bing's version much.I don't know why it's one of the most selling songs of all time.

He sang it like Frank Sinatra! (I have his Christmas Album) Bing Crosby's singing never appealed to me. Guess that's how'd I explain it!

I think that it was so popular at the time (1940's) because it was released during World War 2 and sentiments were running very strong for home at the time. I can understand that!

I love all versions of "White Christmas". First, it was by Bing Crosby. I have the original on vinyl and CD. I love the Drifters version, the Danny Donnely version with Mary-Kate & Ashley in it, the Frank Sinatra version and all the rest.

That's true Marlene. The same goes for the song, I'll Be Home For Christmas. These are both WWII songs written for the soldiers.

I like Bing Crosby's rendition of White Christmas.

The Drifters do a great job but it's Bing Crosby's that I love most.
