Chris Blue just turned ‘Go Tell It on the Mountain’ into the most joy-soaked, soul-stirring Christmas groove of the season—and honestly, I’m still tapping my foot.
If Christmas ever needed a theme song wrapped in sparkle, blues, and a sprinkle of 80s flair, Chris delivered it with both hands open. The whole stage glowed—twinkling lights shimmering like they were keeping time with the beat. And there’s Chris, grinning wide, ready to lift the roof with that signature voice that somehow feels like warm honey, sounds a little like Michael Jackson, and brings a holy fire all at once.
From the very first “Go tell it…” you can’t help it, you start moving. Your shoulders get a little sway, your head gets a little bounce, and before you know it, you’re right in the groove with him. His rendition is part gospel glory, part electric joyride, and full of the Christmas joy we love and feel. He doesn’t just sing it. He steps into it and makes it brand new.
This lovely song is already a beloved Christmas classic, but Chris pours in that rich, soulful depth he’s known for—mixing bluesy riffs with vintage 80s energy until the whole room practically hums. The choir behind him sparkles, the band leans in like they’re feeling the Spirit right along with him, and every light on that stage seems to flicker to life with the message: Jesus Christ is born.
And even with all the sparkle and fun, the heart of the song stays exactly where it belongs, on our Savior! Chris sings it like a man who knows the Good News deserves to be shouted from the mountaintops, rooftops, living rooms—everywhere.
Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
