Well, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is back on the digital tracks chart, which is as good a sign as any that the popular singers of right now will be unleashing their own Yuletide tracks. This clip for Chris Brown’s version of Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” is a tie-in with the film of the same name with a cute “Chris Brown can make Christmas happen with the power of his mind” conceit. But basically I’m just posting it now because I suspect you–and, really, all of us–will be hit over the head with it at every store you enter between now and Boxing Day. Forewarned is forearmed!

I went to an early screening of This Christmas last week — just be happy that they’re not inflicting Chris Brown’s other song from the movie, an ear-splitting rendition of “Try A Little Tenderness,” on the general listening public. Nevermind the way they gave his character some of the funniest lines in the movie and he just mumbled them into his shoulder.
