What a bizzare thing to say She has a lovely voice and has really transformed it. And why WOULDNT Jessie J cover A Winters Tale? Nothing is sacred. The songs are out there for anyone to cover.
Try listening to it first before spouting the hate

It is excellently written, in that I can almost feel as though he is on his way home driving while singing. Also, the 10-second interlude in the middle even sounds as though he is halfway home by then!

21, but I try to avoid most of the "popular" Christmas songs. I must admit I've never heard it in a shop or on TV though.
