Joy to the World

The Preacher's Wife remake starring Whitney Houston came out when I lived in Memphis. And one of my best friends at the time was obsessed with Whitney, so of course we went to see it on opening night. It's a fine holiday flick with, not surprisingly, really good music. Whitney is the title character and in her role as preacher's wife she leads the music in their church. One of the songs is a knock out version of "Joy to the World." J and I danced in our seats while watching the movie the first time, and every time I hear it now, I dance wherever I am. It is truly joyous.

I couldn't find the scene from the movie on Youtube, but I did find this medley performed by Whitney and a choir at some awards show. The first song is nice and classic Whitney. "Joy to the World" starts about half way through. Listen and see if you aren't motivated to dance a little bit, too!
