Now I wonder if it'll suck just as hard in international markets, or if something about it will be more appealing to non-Americans. Or if Hasbro will even bother distributing Jem overseas at all. :-I

I would have liked to have a song by Celly and Luna though. :pcstare:

When your inspiration was Justin Beiber and you load the entire film with trite, tired "I'm gonna be a rockstar" story...well, yeah. Flop.

About all it has in common with the cartoon is the title and some facepaint.

They're just singing songs about a fictional universe, like us singing Winter Wrap Up. Easy.

Not nearly enough Cutie Mark Crusaders on the list for me. :rainbert:

Also we'd better get Diamond Tiara singing "Santa Baby" and Maud singing "Jingle Bell Rock".

If the Star Wars Holiday Special taught us anything, it's that Wookiee's love to get porn for the holidays.

Eh. Honestly, I actually think this is rather sweet. I would be concerned if the show devoted an episode (or more; see the Star Wars Holiday Special, as The Doctor just mentioned) solely to shoehorning these non-Equestrian songs into it, but as an ancillary piece of merchandise I see no trouble with its existence.

My Little Pony exists to sell merchandise; a Christmas album is just another branch of that. It's nothing to fret over, and quite possibly will be really fun. Frankly I'm surprised it took them this long to do it!

I wouldn't count on it. For this sort of thing, I think it needs to be either existing songs that have nothing to do with ponies (other than that they're being sung by a few of the Mane Six) or completely original songs from the show.

I should be clear that I wasn't holding the fact that most of these are non-pony songs against the album.

I kind of want pony lyrics and some over the top characterization. Like Rainbow Dash just screams her way through jingle bells, and Pinkies twelve days of christmas has 13 days. Fluttershy sings silent night though, that could be super cute.

I hope they come with their own lyrics instead of just having them singing with the character's voices. It is going to be like Alvan and the chipmunks all over again. :ohgawd:

:ohboy:
🎶 Grandma got run over by a Scootaloo,
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve,
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grampa, we believe

She'd been drinkin too much egg-nog,
And we'd begged her not to go,
But she'd forgot her medication
And she staggered out the door into the snow

When we found her Christmas morning,
At the scene of the attack,
She had hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminating tire tracks on her back

And he brings presents to ponies and goes down the chimney...

I'm going to get fired at work for laughing aloud at these carols. Never thought I'd want a Christmas album but now...I kind of do. Damnit, merchandising works!

I am glad that they are keeping actual Christmas stuff in the form of merchandising outside of the show, though. The way they've handled the holiday season in the show so far has been so much better than the endless run of stock Christmas specials that always go "a (insert-series-here) Christmas" where some weak story about holiday spirit plays out, again, for the millionth time, followed by a 'surprise' Santa visit at the end.
