Delivering the haunting James Bond theme with absolute control, crystal clarity, and breathtaking emotion, Christmas showcased a tone and technique on par with legends like Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, and Whitney Houston. Her rendition didn’t just rise to the challenge — it soared above it.
Unlike many covers of “Skyfall,” which lean heavily on the original’s orchestration, Christmas lets her voice do the work — from smoky low notes to sky-high, spine-tingling belts.
Her vocal control is exceptional, with a smooth vibrato and phrasing that make every word count. The result is a performance that is both technically masterful and deeply moving.
