Yes. When I was a teenager and later in my early 20s, I wasn't looking for artists in their late 40s, early 50s to be making huge artistic statements or burning up the charts. They've had their day. Everything now is gravy. Like Beady Eye said, "Nothing lasts forever!"  We'll talk again when Mariah Carey gets #1 this week  She is an aberration. You are talking about one of the biggest Christmas songs of all time. It's been everywhere come December since 1994. It is now a Christmas staple but remember, when she first dropped it she was like 23-25 and one of the biggest pops stars on the planet. |

I know, was just kidding (she has a serious chance of getting that #1 though) As I always say the Gallaghers are actually in a great position commercially wise, they sell more than most rock acts with their records and are still able to crack the top 40 with singles every once in a while, something not so common for people who have been in the business for nearly 30 years And of course, they're still #1 in our hearts |

I'm enjoying the track in small doses. It's got a bit of charm to it. The intro is very cool and it has this dreamy holiday vibe.....Nothing special but not that bad either.
I'm happy Liam is working with Andrew Wyatt. I like his style as a writer/producer.

Newer bands from the last 15-20 years never lived in that era and can't expect their younger fans to ride as hard as so many of us did between 1994-2000 and continue to this very day. |

That is rather interesting. Outside of Oasis themselves, Oasis fandom and this community, I haven’t really heard other bands or fan bases clamor for a #1 overall song/album. Plus the youth today don’t care about who is #1 they just want their jams on Spotify. They control what is #1 in their heads. Don’t need radio, tv or buying an album to determine any of that stuff. |

Depends on the fandom tbh Fans of pop acts really pay attention to it, not the case with r'n'r acts as the charts these days don't really do any favour to those with a dedicated but not huge fanbase that buys records but don't have big streaming numbers I mean, many respectable and even critically acclaimed acts see their album reaching the top 5 as a success |

i'll add one thing and i'm sure it's already been addressed here ^^ - but i just got off the drum set after 3 and a half hours and wasnt really paying attention
i had 'dreaming of' at end of my set as i usually end the playlist on an instrumental song or two - and therefore played it loud with proper speakers
that song is majorly pitch adjusted
Liam sounds almost like a female singer it's so high
holy crap

i’m a Liam’s voice apologist, but having just listened to the ‘live’ version and the released version they’re identical to my ear.

Definitely not a mime, he’s added words and is going faster than the original. It sounds unbelievable!

The Jonathan Ross show version is great, definitely live.
Had my fears about him performing it live, but Liam nailed it! 🙂

The other musical fandom I know of that cares a lot about metrics of commercial success measured are the fans of the Korean pop scene. Those folks are hardcore.

Absolutely smashes it, my favorite version so far. I hope it’s live but 1:12-1:22 isn’t he wearing a scarf there which he isn’t for the rest of the video? It’s in the video thumbnail also. There is no scarf at 1:12. What people are seeing is glare from the lights on the wrinkles of his jacket fabric. Over-interpretation at work. |

Are we sure that is even Liam? Looks like a hologram to me.

I truly believe that this song has the best chance to have worldwide success due to its timing and quality more than any single from either brother since their solo careers started.
This is a song that you don't need to like Oasis/Liam/Noel or even know who Oasis is to like it.
Its easy to remember the lyrics and it has a classic Lennon/Beatles sound to it and the vocal is heartfelt and emotionally driven.
I have a good feeling about this one 💜😊

After a long absence of singing like before, Liam's voice sounds spectacular and beyond anything from 2004-2013. As for the song, feels like a sappy Ashcroft song which I'm no fan of. Big fan of Liam's vocals but that's just about it. I think this song will do well for him.

Sadly out of the Top 200 on Spotify, still strong lead on Itunes
Hopefully the JR appearence has boosted some sales

Liam was replaced by a reptilian clone at the start of his solo career, vastly improving his voice. This was at the request of the evil corporate record company, so they could easily control his song choices. If you watch closely his eyes now blink sideways and occasionally you will see his narrow forked tongue flit out.

If he's on Fallon we'll get a better idea of how he's actually sounding, compare his once performances from Jonathon Ross and Fallon; definitely a more genuine mix on the former.
