Probably one of the only songs that cannot be touched or beaten by anyone else

Like I’ve said before, nothing is going to be the original, but I appreciate all artists to seriously take this song and try to perform it or make a tribute to it because it is literally one of the best songs ever to come out of any sort of Christmas or holiday spirit

This makes you realise how perfect McCall and McGowens voices were in the untouchable original.

Love the jumper Ed. But your voice is TOO nice for this song Shane and Kirsty forever will be the only ones to sing this proper.

This can only be sung by an Irish man who’s on the verge of death from alcohol poisoning.

Right before they began I remember Ed said something like "The kids are going to love it but the adults are going to murder us for doing this" hehehe he was so right. lol

The Pogues will always be the best, but those harmonies are on point 🙌

Love this so much but NOTHING tops the original, Rip shane❤❤

I feel like this version is almost too pretty. This needs Shane's pained "I'm about to die of alcohol poisoning" voice to make it work.

Thing is, it isn't a bad cover, it is a good cover. It's just that the Pogues and Kirsty version is just so good that it just can't be beat

What a song. And like all such songs it will be sung endlessly. As it should be. ❤

I can enjoy any cover of this knowing nobody will ever beat the original

As much as I enjoy these two, I must say that it has NOTHING on the original. Shane McGowan's drunken growl is utterly perfect for this song, and Kirsty MacColl has both the grit and the pipes to sell the story of two addicts in a love-hate relationship. This is not a song that is suited to such delicate voices. It's a song about finding joy amidst life's suffering, and Shane and Kirsty make you feel it.

I love them both and they are great singers. I'm sorry but my heart will always belong to the original song. The singers were just so genuine, especially when they were cursing at each other. It's great to see these two bringing back this incredible christmas song but I will forever love the original. Great job guys!

This version is too sweet. There's no edge to it

The most beautiful Christmas song. The version of the Pogues with Ella was sooooo beautiful too. Thanks

I'm listening this on Oct 😭 Feel like tomorrow is Christmas day Anyway Happy new year everyone 🙏

This verson is way too clean. The song is supposed to be dirty. It’s the whole point of the two down and out characters singing the song.

Love from Latvia, lived in Ireland ,greatest people in world❤

Goosebumps all over. My fav singers of all time

Who else needs a Christmas Album?🙋🏼‍♀️

Yaaaaassssss!!! Back to your folk roots! This is the Ed Sheeran I grew up on! Keep on changing the World!

It's not about being better or beating the original it is their take on an absolute classic and brilliant song in my eyes as a tribute to the late great Shane McGowan and ed Sheeran has Irish heritage after all

Singing equivalent of paint by numbers, some songs are inextricably linked to the singers who originally sang them. The rough hewn vocal of McGowan and Kirsty McCalls' sassy response is completely unique, quite frankly unlike many Christmas songs, it can't be bettered.

It lacks all the pathos. That is what makes the song, the light and shade. I suppose short of imitating the orginal they had to do something or maybe just leave it alone.

Why am I listening to this in June? 😂Oh well I love it so much ❤️xxx

Nobody could sing this like Shane & Kirsty . You could see that in their own Irish ☘️ families over the generations they have seen these lyrics lived & played out and that shows itself in their voices ..

Absolutely brilliant I love that Ed and I love Ann she is such fun bless her cheers made my night Larrysullivan in Camberley xx

2:16 “Merry Christmas, you mug!” haha

Where's the darkness? Where is the depression? Where is the emotion? Where is the liver on the verge of self-destruction?

She has so beautiful voice...they sounds great together

Classic song sang so great ❤

Now i am 100% in Christmas mood💙🎄

This feels so good in September...Hope the world will heal for Christmas ♥️🙆‍♀️

My heart just melted 😍

Love them both 💛

Why am i listening to this in march 😹

I didn't know an ed Sheeran Christmas album was what I needed, but it is indeed what I need...

2 amazing voices and a great cover but this is one of the few songs that is impossible to cover and be anywhere near the best

I always love seeing comments to covers because it’s always people complaining it’s not like the original, when it perhaps isn’t supposed to be like the original.

I am listening this in November. Christmas day... SOON...SOON!!!

I can always feel that Christmas approaches whenever I hear this song.

They Both are just Amazing ❤😘😘

Loved the musicians playing on this!

His voice though 😵🔥

Not drunk enough

This is so good, love Ed Sheehan.

You are so right nothing compere the original!!

No one gonna talk about how he suddenly transitioned to f*ckn jingle bells like wtf

Y O U S C U M B A G, Y O U M A G G O T Y O U C H E A P L O U S Y (wait this is BBC)

I didn't think I was going to like it.... Amazing 👏 ❤️ 😊

Love them Both. So fun.

No one gonna talk about Ed Sheeran’s boba get Xmas jumper

Anne- Marie and Ed need to do a proper full covers of any song apart from just a Christmas song. I NEED TO HEAR THE SONG THAT THEY MADE

Sheerans voice is too sweet for this duet.

It is a year from now and all I have to say...This is one of my favorite songs and they sung this beautifully

Beoga are absolutely fantastic

i cant help focusing on ed's lovely christmas jumper. this is the way.

What a beautiful tone Anne Marie has ❤

Ed Sheerans Christmas Jumper is fire.

Ed is such a treasure ❤️

He sang the shit out of that first verse. Amazing👏

I love this cause its my fave christmas song sung by my fave human, Anne-Marie 💖

It was Christmas Eve babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me, Won't see another one And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to one I've got a feeling This year's for me and you So happy Christmas I love you baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true They've got cars Big as bars They've got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old When you first took my hand On a cold Christmas Eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome You were pretty Queen of New York City When the band finished playing They howled out for more Sinatra was swinging All the drunks they were singing We kissed on the corner Then danced through the night The boys of the NYPD choir Were singing 'Galway Bay' And the bells are ringing Out for Christmas day You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead On a drip in that bed You scumbag You maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God It's our last The boys of the NYPD choir Still singing 'Galway Bay' And the bells are ringing Out for Christmas day I could have been someone Well, so could anyone You took my dreams From me when I first found you I kept them with me babe I put them with my own Can't make it all alone I've built my dreams around you The boys of the NYPD choir Still singing 'Galway Bay' And the bells are ringing Out for Christmas day

I love the way how ed says ,,ha ha ha"😂

Love the instrumentation, the organisation, the chemistry, the communication between each instrumentalist. They were having fun 💕. That's real music.

Ohhh her voice! 🤩

HOLY SHIT! 😍 Merry Christmas!! 🎄

The background musicians, especially the violinist, are all really good 💓

Shivers man. Amazing job

Thank you ed it's my favourite Christmas song l love you and Wall done

This is so beautiful I can feel the Once Upon a Time feeling

Gotta love Ed's Boba Fett sweater 😁

My neighbour's cat is making these sounds when another cat dares to cross their garden...

Dear Peeps..If you don't like a cover, its not necessary to shame the artists..by comparing....I love it and they did a good job...and made a clean version just so that its playable in Christmas parties.. Ffs get a life

good job.. nowhere near the pogues.. but not bad.. i enjoyed it.. happy christmas my friends ❤️...... PS.. ive put it in my best ever christmas songs playlist :)

Aww.. ❤❤They both sound great and are soo cute😍

Its like I'm listening to this while shopping at Target.🤣🤣🤣

I can't stand it. It makes you realise how brilliant the original is, especially with Ed and Anne being such great singers. You just need the growl and grit to pull this off

I used to hate covers... Until I met Ed Sheeran

Ed, YOUR STUNNING

Oooooo dunno how I missed this! 4 years ago aswell 😲 🎄

I didn't know I needed this 😂

This was great version loved it..makes us appreciate our version even more though..Ed Sheeran would agree 💯 I'm sure..

Some songs are best left alone,, no one will ever better the original

La voce di un angelo🥺

I love irish folk, been listening to it since I was a child. Seeing a popular artist doing it so well is absolutely beautiful :')

Its a good cover, but it just misses that ... roughness of the original.

This makes me realise how spectacular the original was.

Nicely done guys, cant believe I didn't see this before now. Gotta love this song. Beautiful.

Protect Ed Sheeran at all cost he is too pure for this world

Anne- Marie has a lovely voice,

Bloody well done both of you, my two favourite artists singing my favourite Xmas song love you both so much

This is amazing

Don’t work right, the passion and pain of the original is what makes it the best Christmas song

Song aside, can we appreciate that Ed Sheeran is wearing a Boba Fett sweater 😆

im just loving the boba fett christmas jumper! what a guy!

Love Ed Sheeran, and Anne-Marie and they did the song credit, but the lrish passion from the Pogues and Shane's drunken growl and Kirsty's grit and voice tell a sad story about an alcoholic driven relationship is the meat and bones to this song.You can feel the raw passion they both bring to this song.That's why this song can never be messed with, so please no more remakes know matter who the artist is.

Anyone here in November 2019 🎄🎄🎁🎁

Anne-Marie is underrated.
