Darren Hayes - Last Christmas
Here's something to get you in the festive spirit if you're not already. There has been countless covers of Wham's no.2 hit (beaten by Band Aid!) Last Christmas in the past few years but this one recorded in the Savage Garden days for a Rosie O'Donnell charity CD in the US is my favourite by miles. It may not be as deep or as technically fabulous as Darren's usual work but it's impossibly cute in that sparkly snowglobe way, reflecting how Christmas can be so artificial in a wonderful way. I love Christmas, I love this song and, as if there was ever any doubt, I love Darren! How could this be anything but utterly fabulous?
