The post of Babyface was the center of attention during the Christmas celebrations. The well-known singer-songwriter posted a short clip from what was probably a delightful party, together with Puth, who was also a guest at the party, and singing the classic ‘White Christmas’ of Irving Berlin. The event was Christmas celebration held by a couple in the music industry consisting of music producer David Foster and singer Katharine McPhee. In his post, Babyface spoke about how great it was to bring a little bit of happiness to the world along with his ‘wonderful friend’ Puth and that he hoped everyone would enjoy the little preview.
The video is a great demonstration of the duo’s talent and their laid-back attitude. The well-known rich voice of the reigning singer Babyface was in perfect harmony with the bright and clear voice of the pop artist Charlie Puth. The two lead and share the lovely line about loving the winter cold and thus having a white Christmas. The level of the spontaneity and musician sophistication one could experience in a private gathering of the industry giants is such that one cannot help but wish he or she was a fly on the wall at the party.
The response was immediate and mostly positive to the point of being overwhelming. One of the legends himself, who also happened to be the party’s host, music producer David Foster, posted, ‘U sound simply fantastic –both of u-thankyou guys for sharing your awesome talent with us!! A Christmas treat for everyone!!’ That’s a thumbs up from one of the most powerful and respected producers of the industry.
Many people who watched the video immediately referred to it as a classic movie. One viewer stated it was ‘Perfection’ and that it ‘has to be made available on all streaming services every year during 🎄.’ Such was the sentiment that another person was practically pleading, ‘A collaboration album between u two would be the bomb! If it is to be done.’ The rapport was just that evident.
Furthermore, the performance brought back some memories from the past for the listeners. A married fan shared a lovely story with everyone and said, ‘The song of my wife and I that we both came up with is Whip Appeal and we have been married for a long time already… Thanks Babyface for that wonderful music you give us.’ This proves how much of a blessing Babyface has been for the lives of his audience.
Moreover, the global fans also chimed in who pointed out his international fame. ‘I went all the way to SA for you and boy boy boy what a time to be ALIVE! Greetings from Kenya,’ one comment said referring to his last tour. Another user from South Africa, full of joy, stated that after attending his concert, they switched from being a ‘super fan’ to ‘super crazy fan.’
Of course, comparisons are inevitable when it comes to a classic song. A listener remarked, ‘Babyface is great but this will always be Nat King Cole👏.’ This led to a little friendly correction in the comments saying that ‘White Christmas’ has indeed been closely linked to Bing Crosby, but Nat King Cole ruled ‘The Christmas Song.’ The whole thing turned out to be a brief and nerdy music debate carried out in the best way possible.
Among all the comments one could consider the most chill one of the day, which came from a user who simply said, ‘I need that type of Xmas party in my life!’ A sentiment that undoubtedly was shared by all the people who saw the two megastars intertwining their voices and thus effortless serenading an A-list guest room. Fans are also excited about his upcoming tour with special guests.
