My Top 10 Picks for Christmas Songs

10. Last Christmas - Wham!
Heartbreak and Christmas shouldn't fit so perfectly hand-in-hand, but this song seems to be an exception. Lots have covered it, but no version compares to Wham!'s original "Last Christmas."


9. What Christmas Means To Me - Stevie Wonder
This catchy, jingle bell beat will draw you in, while these sweet lyrics will have you thinking about what Christmas means to you.


8. I Need A Silent Night - Amy Grant
This more unknown Amy Grant song is one that needs to be showcased, for it's true lyrics about needing a 'silent night' after the hectic days of Christmas shopping. This song will really get your priorities straight during the Christmas season.


7. Beautiful Christmas - Big Time Rush
All I can say here is that this song will leave you wanting to have a big time beautiful Christmas!


6. Cold December Night - Michael Buble
Off of his new Christmas album, titled Christmas, this Michael Buble original will have you bobbing your head to it's cute, Christmasy beat as Michael sings about what he wants on this cold December night.


5. The Cat and the Mouse Carol - Mormon Tabernacle Choir ft. David Archuleta
Just this year has this song become a favorite of mine. Never hearing it before now, this adorable Christmas song reflects a little cat and mouse's view of Jesus' birth. This beautiful arrangement from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and David Archuleta has brought this song to life.


4. Believe - Josh Groban
Josh Groban has a lot of Christmas hits, and though this one may not showcase his powerful voice, it holds a lot more meaning than the other classics. "Believe" from The Polar Express is an uplifting Christmas ballad that Josh prevails in, giving the song a certain holiday 'magic'.


3. All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey
This song has been one of my all time favorite Christmas songs pretty much my whole life. When I was younger I only focused on the fun, upbeat rhythm, but as I got older paid more attention to the meaningful and relatable lyrics.


2. Step Into Christmas - Elton John
This song has become one of my favorites over the last few years. With it's catchy beat and fun lyrics, it makes for a great holiday tune.


1. Melodies Of Christmas - David Archuleta
What better song for Christmas than a song about Christmas music? David Archuleta's "Melodies Of Christmas" describes the important of holiday melodies, in it's own cute, holiday melody! And for that reason, puts it at the number one spot.

Top 5 Christmas Releases This Year

Many artists have taken on Christmas classics this holiday season, but here are the Top 5 Christmas releases of this year.

1. Glad Christmas Tiding - Mormon Tabernacle Choir ft. David Archuleta

This year's Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas album is one of their best ever, featuring singer David Archuleta and lots of new arrangements on classic and unknown holiday songs. The MoTab Choir performs their beautiful rendition of "Away In The Manger" and their fun "A Christmas Roundelay," while David Archuleta sings "Los pastores a belen" in Spanish and his majestic "Gesu Bambino" with the choir. Also on the album is David Archuleta's original arrangement of "Silent Night," and he then later joins the choir for a gorgeous final song, "Angels, from the Realms of Glory." Glad Christmas Tidings is full of Christmas spirit, as you can tell everyone singing really feels the joy of the season.


2. Christmas - Michael Bublé

One of the best selling albums of the year, Michael Bublé's Christmas features a Bublé spin on classic holiday songs. Bublé lends his silky smooth voice to songs like "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," as well as one original song titled "Cold December Night." Still as he jazzes them up and makes them his own, Bublé leaves some Christmas magic in each song, making for a very enjoyable holiday album.




3. A Very She & Him Christmas - She & Him

Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward's band She & Him have a Christmas album that is very, well, she & him! A Very She & Him Christmas is full of Christmas classics turned jazz-folk pop as Zooey showcases her unique voice and M. Ward shows his guitar skills, giving this album a distinct sound, but still with plenty of Christmas spirit. These arrangements are cute and fun, just like She & Him, and make for a great Christmas album.




4. A Very GaGa Holiday - Lady Gaga

Lady GaGa is as original as they come. I mean, who else would film a Thanksgiving special? From A Very GaGa Thanksgiving, Lady GaGa released A Very GaGa Holiday EP, featuring live performances from the special. Included is a cover of Nat King Cole's "Orange Colored Sky," as well as her songs "You And I" and "The Edge of Glory." But the highlight of this EP is her version of the Christmas classic "White Christmas." Lady GaGa jazzed it up and even added her own original verse to the song, saying that the song is beautiful, but too short. I'm dreaming of a white snowman, With a carrot nose and charcoal eyes, she sings. After hearing this, I'm dreaming of another GaGa holiday!


5. "God Bless Us Everyone" - Melinda Doolittle

Melinda Doolittle released her first holiday single this year titled "God Bless Us Everyone." There's been a lot of Christmas single releases this year, but Melinda's is definitely one of the best, as it describes the simple joys of the season. Melinda showcases her powerful voice in this holiday ballad, with it's magical melodies and heartwarming lyrics. This song gives you just one think to think about, God bless us everyone.

Album Review: Michael Bublé - Christmas

Christmas is coming early this year for Michael Bublé! The jazz-pop singer lent his voice to numerous holiday classics on his new album, Christmas, out today. This album features Christmas and holiday favorites with their own Bublé twist! Michael's take on these Christmas songs is intriguing yet delightful as his lovely voice is defined throughout this album. Some of the songs like "Holly Jolly Christmas" and "Blue Christmas" showcase Michael at his best, while other songs like his slower version of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" show Michael's fun and daring side. The album also features Bublé's original song "Cold December Night", a cute, pop song about Michael wanting a girl to fall in love with him for Christmas. This album is full of Christmas spirit in these joyful holiday tunes. I think it'll be a very Bublé Christmas!

Interview with Guitarist Brian Green

Brian Green has played for many popular artists such as Michael Bublé and David Foster, as well as his own band Montë Mar. Just recently added to his bio is being the newest guitarist for David Archuleta. 

Out of all the members of David’s new band, it’s safe to say that the one we unfortunately know the least about is Brian. So now here’s your chance to learn a little about him as he talks about his music interests, past gigs, pre-show rituals and his reaction when he found out he would now be playing with David Archuleta. 






1. When did you start playing the guitar? .

2. What made you choose the guitar? 
(To answer questions 1 and 2) I started playing guitar when I was eight years old. My dad plays as well (not professionally) so there were guitars around the house, which must have intrigued me from a young age. I also had a crush on a girl who played guitar and I figured that it could be my in.

3. What kind of music do you listen to? What other artists are you into?
I cast a wide net with the music I listen to and draw from many genres and moods. Here are a few of my all time favorites and artists that I am currently listening to: Deerhunter, Rufus Wainwright, The Beatles (of course), Fleetwood Mac, Johnny Marr, The Beach Boys, Radiohead, Bjork, Milton Nascimento, Brad Mehldau.

4. What was your first reaction when you found out you’d be getting to be a part of David Archuleta’s band?
I was really excited upon hearing the news that I would be playing with David! I always thought he had a terrific voice and presence to him.

5. What other gigs have you had before playing for David?
Some of the other artists I have played guitar for in the past include Michael Buble, Jessie Baylin, Julianna Raye (opening for Rufus Wainwright), Andrea Bocelli and David Foster.

6. The Archie fans have tagged you guys as the “Archuband”. What do you think of the response from the fans ever since you started playing for David?
What a great network of fans you all are. Everybody has been very welcoming and supportive. Thanks everybody!

7. So far you’ve done two shows with David, one acoustic and one with the full band. Which do you prefer?
I like playing acoustic shows but prefer playing with the band. Those guys are all killer musicians and great people to hang out with, so it makes the show a bit more lively for me.

8. What prepares you for each show? Any pre-performance rituals?
Pre show rituals, oh gosh... I'm pretty low maintenance and try and stay relaxed and positive before shows. I'm happy with a quiet room to unwind in and if Pringles (BBQ or original flavor) happen to be in that room, you are guaranteed a good show out of me.

9. When I interviewed Steven he said you do an “awesome guitar riff” during Elevator. What are some of your favorite songs to play with this new band?
Ahhhh, lets see. The competition for my favorite song to play with David would be between Crush, Complain, and a great cover we started doing of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears. I also love watching the other band members tear it up on "Gotta Get Through This". I think that Ben and Steven melted some faces during our last show.

10. What are some of your hobbies when you’re not doing music?
I love to surf, hike, travel, read and be around my friends who I can laugh with.

11. Where can people catch up with you? Website? Facebook?
The best place to keep up with me and what I'm doing is through my band website: www.montemarmusic.com. I put up blogs, music, shows, and everything I'm up to on there including links to twitter and facebook so you know what I'm up to.

12. Any message to all of the Archie fans who are now supporting you? 
My message to all of the Archie fans is to keep it up! We love the enthusiasm and support and it makes us want to rock even harder for you all! Thanks for being so warm to all of us.


So look forward to seeing a lot more of Brian in his band Montë Mar and also more upcoming concerts with David Archuleta! I want to thank Brian for an awesome interview and we can’t wait to see what the future holds!
