This marked her fifth year in a row performing this holiday classic on The View, and it is evident that Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Darlene Love gets better with age and experience. Her voice is like fine wine and she is able to send chills down her listeners’ spines. Her special musical guest this year was Jason Derulo, and he did a glorious job dueting with Love. The co-hosts of The View served as their background vocalists, which was an added treat.
Earlier this month, as Digital Journal reported, Love was recently snubbed by the producers of “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” as part of this year’s tree lighting ceremony.
After today’s spellbinding live performance of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”, Love clearly has the last laugh, and hopefully, the powers that be at “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” will reconsider for the following year since Darlene Love is as good as it gets.
The Verdict
Overall, Darlene Love proves that she is a true Christmas Queen. This refreshing version is a masterclass of how “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” should be done. It is safe to say that there is only one Darlene Love. This marvelous rendition garnered an A rating.
