Are you familiar with the 1987 A Very Special Christmas track "Do You Hear What I Hear" by Whitney Houston? The version by Whitney starts with the second verse with the Little Lamb telling the Shepard Boy rather than the first verse with the North Wind telling the Little Lamb "Do You See What I See?"

I hate this song. I don't care who sings it.

Not my favorite Christmas carol, but this version is decent enough I suppose.

This was my favorite Christmas song as a little kid, and Whitney's is my favorite version.

I bet the Christmas radio stations will play this Whitney "Do You Hear" Christmas song a lot since Whitney Houston passed away earlier this 2012 year.

This usually gets decent play during the holidays- not one of the top 10 most-played, but it's up there.
This reached No. 35 on Billboard's Holiday Songs chart last year.

This was always one of my most disliked Christmas songs (and I can count the Christmas songs I dislike on one hand), until I listened to Whitney's version. She made me love it. I listen to it every holiday season.

The definitive version of this, imo. Martina McBride's version is excellent, but I think that I will always associate this song with Whitney Houston.

This song makes me want to throw butter knives at Clive Davis. The fact that there is no Whitney Christmas album released in 1988 or 1989 is a capital offense.
This is the only version of this song I like. I hate the "karaoke" singers in the beginning though.

Not one of my favorite Christmas songs but for me this is the definitive version. And I get chills down my back at 2:32. Another incredible vocal performance.
