Reba McEntire Wishes Fans a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
The Voice finale aired on December 19, and Reba McEntire took to the stage with her contestant Ruby Leigh to perform “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” for a festive finale. The performance featured McEntire and Leigh in sparkly outfits against a backdrop of Ferris wheels, twinkling lights, and Christmas trees. The performance was a great way for Leigh to show off her stage presence and abilities as a performer. She didn’t end up winning—that accolade went to Huntley of Team Niall— but Ruby Leigh still proved she has a bright future as an artist.
Brenda Lee’s classic “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” was released in 1958, charting at No. 14 two years later. Earlier this month, it actually peaked at No. 1 on the Christmas charts, briefly beating out Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.”
Lee spoke about the achievement to Billboard, saying, “I like that God has given me that favor that I can stand aside and look and know that it wasn’t just me. It’s a conglomerate of a lot of people that made the song what it is.”
