Tonight, we bring you another batch of Christmas covers, and this one is mostly filled with Christmas standards with one notable 90′s pop exception. The production ranges wildly from your standard guitar & webcam set-up to incorporating an entire orchestra – so be sure to check out all the videos because they all offer a slightly different flavor of Holiday peppermint.

Showdown: Victor Kim x Cathy Nguyen vs George Shaw

Last year, around this time, Kina Grannis released a fantastic song appropriately entitled “Valentine“. It’s was one of my favorites and still is to this day. Now, 4 seasons later, the asian-american music scene has gone meta and there are covers popping up of the said single. It’s been a while since we had our last Showdown so I figured why not feature them here!?

In one corner we have the multi talented Victor Kim on his trademark uke, accompanied by the cute-as-a-button Cathy Nguyen. In the other we have up and coming movie/film composer George Shaw putting together a multi instrumental cover. Now the only question is, which “Valentine” did you love more?

George Shaw

As much as I loved both renditions, and as big a fan I am of Cathy, I gotta say they were musically outclassed by George. Even though his version didn’t feature any vocals, his gentle instrumentation and arrangement really impressed me. But what say you? Vote for your favorite!

Happy (early) Valentine’s Day everyone!
