That was good.

Geico, take a lesson.

Typical Apple-esque: stripped of everything but bare minimal stuff and a simple ad that just blows away all the other ads. The snow fall in the end was a touch of class.

I saw the beginning of that commercial a few times, and immediately switched it off because the singing was so annoying. I didn't realize it was an iPad commercial until just now when I read this story.

Ugh. That's about all I can say. First Apple commercial I've ever hated - bad singing just does that to me (I still haven't seen the rest of it).

says the person who doesn't have kids based on the fact this is what children sound like when they sing.

With due respect, you do not appear to be able to judge good singing from bad. She is on-key and sings the song perfectly fine. Adele she ain't, but then we only have one of those.

Evidently you've never heard a child sing in your life. How sad.

It's difficult to relate to if you have no ****ing clue what kids and family are about.

This kid is actually pretty awesome, and it doesn't matter at all to the message of the ad.

Well, no matter what, the singing is pretty so-so. I think the ad is pretty okay - I don't know if it's extremely original really. Just like the santa-siri ad last year, I thought it was just what you would expect at xmas, well done, though.

I have never posted on this site, but even though I personaly don't own very many apple products,(just an ipod), I was so glad to see that apple had seen fit to air this girl's version of the song.
I thought it was awsome! Perfect pitch, and sung with true feeling.
I see that some people unfortunately don't feel the same way about it though, and although our world is filled with many different tastes, I think some are quite simply blinded by a need for bright lights and all that comes with it to think that something is worthwhile. Many of these same people would probably also not appreciate the remarkable rendition of the song, "Somewhwere over the Rainbow", sung by the late great Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, and let me just say that they are missing out. I feel in my heart that even Iz himself would have loved hearing this young girls version of this song.
Thanks apple, for giving her the chance to be heard and appreciated.
