Jussi Björling - A once in a lifetime performance of unparalleled perfection and spine chilling beauty.

Without a doubt, Jussi Bjorling is fantastic, what a voice.

They were all wonderful but David Phelps brought tears to my eyes.

DAVID PHELPS ALL THE WAY DELIVERS MY MOST FAVORITE CHIRISTMAS SONG OF ALL TIMES!!!!! CHILLS EVERY TIME!!

I'm pretty sure that David Phelps is the soundtrack in Heaven.

Jussi Björling - who I hadn't even heard of until yesterday. Listen to him sing the WHOLE song though. Unmatched to this day.

Every time I hear David Phelps’ voice, I imagine an Angel on earth singing, and that it may be how we all sound in heaven. Can you imagine millions of people with a voice like that! The reason why his version is the best is because he sings with such conviction. He BELIEVES what he sings, and it’s his assignment to bring Jesus to the world. None of the others sang with meaning. They were simply notes. David Phelps sings and feels every word and makes you believe him.

If you listen to the entire song by each one, they are all great but David Phelps is in a league of his own with this song.

David Phelps is not only pitch perfect, but has beautiful voice control, can hold his notes forever and sings with emotion! I absolutely love listening to him!

Jussi Björling of course. There’s a reason he is still the most famous opera tenor in history even tough he died 61 years ago. Pavarotti said in an interview; “when I have to rehearse a new opera, I first listen to how Jussi Björling did it. His voice was unique, and I want to follow his path. More than anything else, I would like people to compare me to Jussi Björling. That's how I strive to sing”.

Oh my! Any comparison outside of Pavarotti to Jussi Björling makes me smile. Especially for this song. He didn't need a microphone in his face, the recording was WAY off and the whole auditorium shook. Difficult to appreciate the POWER that his voice had, certainly for those not familiar with operatic tenor. He's not widely regarded as the greatest tenor ever for nothing.

Everyone was on b4 note, but David was C5. Very challenging for a Male voice but the fact he sustain it with such clearity is something out of this world.

I'm partial to Jussi Bjorling. Strong, sharp, precise and powerful without yelling.

Jussi Björling gets my vote of course since he is the greatest tenor of all times... But I also love David Phelps because the Holy Spirit ministers through him when he sings.

Björling - he is a legendary superstar and rightly so. Caruso sings it noble and beautiful. These 2 are way ahead of everyone else. Unfortunately Pavarotti is too old and tiredsounding here but of course he was otherwise a real singer. The rest are not in the competition but Antoine is better than Bocelle (and Phelps isnt that bad in the pop department).

Jussi Bjorling is my favourite singer of all.

The anointing that David sings with hits you in your spirit

Bjorling. I heard him for the first time on the Light Programme. My sister wrote to the BBC and asked who had sung Nesum Dorma. It was Bjorling. Subsequently when Pavarotti was asked how he approached a song, his reply was to say he would listen to how Bjorling had done it. A true great.

David Phelps without a doubt. Such control and clarity in his voice. He sings with conviction because he believes in what he is singing! It makes such a difference.

Jussi` s timber and power are still to date the best singing i ve heard in my life. Some people maybe have more power and/or have a higher note but the two combined, Jussi´s voice makes my ear want more........

My favorite Christmas song ever! No one has even come close to David Phelps. He hits you in the feels.

For me, nobody sings it more superbly than Jussi Bjorling

David Freakin Phelps holy smokes!!!!!! I thought the heavens literally opened in half 💓

Wow David Phelps wow. I dont have words to discribe his voice. WOW

Let's put this in context: David sang a note one and a half steps HIGHER than any of the other tenors, and did it effortlessly, with full-bodied tone, power and passion, using his classical training tempered with a pop sensibility. No contest.

Jussi Björling every day of the week! He is considered to be one of, if not the best, tenors ever recorded. Even Luciano Pavarotti said he couldn´t compare himself to Jussi Björling.

Jussi Björling. No one compares to him. ❤

Without any doubt: Jussi Björling. Absolute perfection.

There is only one, Jussi Björling! He outclasses them all.

Bjorling for me. Ringing sound, well-placed in the mask, no strain or undue tightness, controlled, full, and resonant. Bravo!

These are all great voices but David Phelps not only has the voice, the pitch, the breadth - he is also the most thoroughly inspired and inspiring one. He not just sings for men, he apparently also sings to God almighty. At least that’s how I felt. His ‘No More Night’ is my favorite and go-to number whenever I need my perspective re-focused. He is a gift to us.

I was super impressed with Jonathan Antoine's quality and control and high notes. He is young and a winner/runner up of America's got Talent I think... Correct me if I'm wrong...I think his career has just begun, and he will go far!! How can you not love Pavarotti??? But my fave hands down and the one who brings the most emotion and talent to the stage and heart is David Phelps!!

David Phelps amazing, powerful rendition wins this one with greatest clarity at the highest notes and his ability to convey the ethereal emotion of the lyrics is unparalleled

David Phelps took that song to an unheard of level. He shook it on it's head, hugged it, kissed it and set it down like a boss!

Jussi Björling,WOW! Vilken röst!

Absolutely Dvaid Phelps! He sings for Jesus Himself...to His glory forever and ever ❤❤❤

Jussi Björling by far the most best singer of them all. You have to understand the power of his voice when he sings. Wow!

I heard David Phelps this afternoon on the television singing this song.......tears were flowing down my face, not just for the music in his voice. The music in his HEART matched the song. Heavenly.

Björling was unbelievable, by far my favorite of all time!

David Phelps, hands down. He sings to an "Audience of One," and we get to listen in. A truly awesome talent that many have yet to discover.

David Phelps has the All time best version even now over 50 yrs old still doing a c5 and recently a D5

There is no one like Jussi Björling clear ringing voice that stands out of it´s own right..! ;)

David Phelps. No question. Went higher than all the others and nailed it!

All of the judgements here are ignoring a fact that most of the singers are Italian who by the gift of nature has Opera Voice; Whereas, Jonathan Antoine is pure Brit and to sing par these Italian Opera singers makes him stand out.

David Phelps 100%. He is on a whole new level, and you can truly tell he is using his voice to praise the Lord with!

Jonathan...Andrea...Enrico...The Canadian tenors ...Hometown...David Phelps....so great. I have to say Jonathan. All so great

Mr. David Phelps sings to the very core of my being.. I would be so honored and blessed to hear and see him sing in person. Bev in Maine

David Phelps hands down. Best voice. His voice goes right into the heart and I tear up everytime

Jussi Bjorling without a doubt. His rendition of O Helga Natt (O Holy Night) is the most beautiful version I have ever heard.

J. Antoine has the crucial clarity of notation required to make this a perfect rendition. If you go back and listen again, his vocal timpani is quite solid.

they are all fantastic, but Jonathan Antoine is my winner...not only does he sing with such purity, he also sings with great emotion and passion. Its not just about hitting the notes, its about doing it with feeling

O Heavenly Voices may they all vocalize in Heaven But David Phelps is simply one to reduce me to tears of Joy and Praise

David Phelps....best male vocalist in the world. I've seen him live 11 times now. Unbelievable.

David Phelps every time!!! The most stunning version of this song I have heard! I've listened to his version countless times and it always touches my soul..!🙏🥰🙏

David phelps is gifted indeed, but he has perfected his God given talent. You can hear his technical classical training ..thus hit the highest note of all singers presented. Phelps moving performance confirms his spiritual connection to the most important event this world has witnessed. Thank you David and all for confirming what a holy night it truly was.

They are all magnificent but no one sustains a note like David Phelps! He’s magnificent! And you feel that he knows the one he’s singing about!

David Phelps, the others singers are all great but David’s Channeling something much more heavenly in his performance than just singing notes.

David Phelps by a mile! God has blessed him with that amazing voice, and he uses it to serve God. We are all blessed to hear him sing.

Mr. Phelps. His voice is superior. His tone is beautiful.

Jussi Bjorling. Please look him up and listen to more of his wonderful tenor voice.

Pavarotti has always been my favourite. But David Phelps ... just wow. Never heard a voice like that before! Sent shivers down my spine.

Jussi is the best. The control he had over his voice was outstanding.

#1 David Phelps - just love vocals and emotion in his voice the best. #2 tied between Andrea Bocelli and Jussi Bjorling - both have amazing voices.

David Phelps hit C5 beautifully!!! Angelic!

I never tire of hearing that beautiful song and love hearing tenors hit those high notes, but there is no question that David Phelps sings it better than anyone else. He sings it from his heart. What a gift the Lord has given him and what a blessing to hear him sing.

I'm no fan of opera but I really love Pavarottis voice. But in this case there I have to go with Jussi Björling. His voice is absolutely unmatched when it comes to the finer details. His singing is crystal clear and you can hear each and every word articulated to perfection. He has such power without ever feeling forced and at times he manages to sound so soft and warm. I believe that no one will ever be able to match his performance on this song.

bjorling, Caruso ,Antione and Bocelli. Never heard the great Caruso sing before, but boy, he was great. Nor Bjorling, just beautiful and of course Antoine and Bocelli. But they were all great and I would hate to put one above the other. Thank you to all of them for a few moments joy and pleasure. Thank you.🇬🇧

David Phelps. Not only is he in the stratosphere, but his passionate love for Christ comes through in his performance.

Jonathan Antoine should get an honorable mention. He hasn’t sung as long as others, but he has a power and potential to kick everyone else out of the competition.

There is zero comparison, in my opinion. There is everyone else who sings perfectly fine, and then way up here above the entire world is David Phelps.

I was preparing dinner when David Phelps was singing this song on TV. I dropped everything to see who this talent was. No one has ever sang this song this way, and I dare to say never will.

David Phelps solid and authentic . Interpretation is divine. No other singer reached the note he did and sustained it with full force. Took you right the gates of Heaven.

With due respect to all, it's Bjorling. Purest voice and superb breath support. Listen to his high notes. Wide open without stress. Most professional singers do not have proper breath support.

I sang in a backup choir for Gaither Christmas concert once with my wife. We sang backup for David Phelps on this song (not this video, but on tour). It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us. He's an incredible vocalist. Each of these guys is fabulous, but Phelps defines tenor vocalists for this generation. :)

David Phelps has the power, the range the resonance, the passion and takes the song to a whole new level - literally. Highest high notes! ❤😊❤

Jussi is like a force booming still after all these years! You can really feel the energy!

David Phelps HANDS DOWN. It's not that it was a higher note. It's about tone, pitch, and mostly feeling. I can't not cry when I listen to him sing this. A voice that is truly a gift from God.

Jussi Bjørling. Best tune, clear diction and fabulous voice control.

Given the disparities in genres, style and recording technology it comes down to which moves the listener, but for me, always the incomparable Jussi Bjorling.

Taking nothing away from the others because they are all talented. However, David Phelps hands down sang that song, not just the incredible note, with passion and feeling that is unmatched.

David Phelps all the way. Crystal clear voice and believes the God he's singing about.

David Phelps - hands down!!!! Everything. Passion, tone, just enough vibrato, and soul. Yes. David! He is not just singing words - he believes them! Amen!

Jussi, second to none ! Powerful sweetness.

I was so blessed to hear David Phelps do it in person. I was so moved and thrilled by such an amazing moment that I cried ...got goose bumps from head to toe...and felt like the gates of heaven had opened wide. I love Bocelli, but David Phelps does Oh Holy Night like no other person I have ever heard, and he does it every time he sings it! It is simply divinely inspired!

Björling by a good margin. Phelps' notes were the most challenging from a technical perspective, but they took away from the beauty of the song in that moment, IMO. Björling's approach was clean, precise, he didn't hold the note forever in an attempt to show off beyond what the song already called for, it was just about perfect. Antoine would be a distant second, of the people who sang the song as written. The groups shouldn't be considered along with the solo performances, but as a separate category; in that category, presuming we ignore any mixing/sweetening effects, Homefree's was the most impressive.

Please do not compare... Everyone is good in their own ways... I personally love them all❤❤

David Phelps, Wow, what an amazing voice!!

David Phelps all day long!!! So much heart and anointing!!!

As someone who has followed many of the great tenors, while I stand in awe of all of them, I do believe that David Phelps's voice is a particular gift from God to the church and the world and truly brings glory and praise to the Lord. Truly Amazing.

I honestly don’t think David Phelps has an end to his range. Wow!

They are all magnificent but David Phelps is my favorite. His voice is perfection but also a work of the Holy Spirit!

Johnathan Antonine. Clear, sharp, high notes. He also pronounces the actual words instead of garbling them for effect. Although Pavarotti is my 2nd choice.

Phelps hands down: clarity, effortless and he hit the highest note better the opéra singers. Bravo Phelps!!

I've heard David Phelps' version about a million times and it still give me goosebumps now. Incredibly epic.

Thank You for putting this together!! What a group of super-stars. One of the greatest songs ever written. It is a mainstay for scores of vocalists and choirs throughout the world, for good reason. Thank You Again. My vote is for David Phelps. The complete production, with his perfect delivery, the Christian All-Star Choir behind him, and amazing Piano work by the late Anthony Berger, makes this a complete and stellar experience. David has an amazing volcal gift, and he combines it with a perfect delivery, so strong, so controlled, and so clear. This puts him in a class by himself. Everybody I play this for is amazed, and they start shaking their heads in amazement. I get chills every time I hear it done by David. It is 22 years old, and it NEVER gets old.

Absolutely without a doubt...David Phelps!! Superb 👌❤

The reason David Phelps wins this is the emotion he puts into it. The others are superb versions, beautiful, highly skilled voices. But I don't FEEL IT. Many of them aren't even live performances so those music videos while well done don't compare either. With David, I feel it right to my heart. Right to my soul. He's singing from his own passion and beliefs. So excellent. Such a blessing to hear him sing to praise the Lord.

David Phelps.... moved to tears every time I hear him sing.

No comparison. DP hands down, cuz he does it for the glory of God. And I’ve been blessed to be able to see him do it live several times.

Best Tenor? I'm glad that isn't the question. Who sang it best? You gotta give it to Phelps. The way he just holds out that high C# not once, but twice? Just gives me chills. Amazing!!
