Don't think there's a thread for this one. This song was a hit for Perry Como in the 1950s, and made its Hot 100 debut last year.
MB's version, though, has become popular with audiences, too.

I think this will be the "standard" version that the general public will know within the next few years.

Bublé's cover is fine and all but I prefer the Johnny Mathis version (of all people - lol).

This is the definition of a KARAOKE cover. Zero originality in his version.

He should release an original holiday song, given the success of his holiday album.

He's been more successful with his original music than that group- see his albums performance, AC stats, etc. I don't know how good it would be; just an observation. :)

He did release an original Christmas song ("The More You Give (The More You'll Have)" ) a couple of years ago, but the standard stuff from his album has prevailed. I think he should do a second album of seasonal favourites, with maybe a new song.
