Each of the divas slayed in their own ways.
Florence's rendition of "O Holy Night" was simple, effortless and yet powerful and effective. The grand orchestral backing and the traditional arrangement pushed her earthy soprano to beautiful heights.
Destiny's Child's harmonies on "Opera of the Bells" are simply divine. They effortlessly interweaved complex melodies, accessing various parts of each of their ranges while blending with the utmost perfection. Flawless.
Beyonce, backed by an acoustic guitar, made "Silent Night" into an intimate, sincere ballad. She effortlessly tweaked the melody of the song with melismas and impressive embellishments and never once loses her cool, showing the true dynamics of her incredible and broad mezzo-soprano range.
Mary Mary took a Christmas staple and re-worked it completely, with racing percussion and an African choir. Even through dense production, Tina and Erica's voice soar powerfully with true Gospel conviction to make a very memorable and unique rendition.
Mariah Carey
