If you see the beginnings of an Annie Lennox christmas album commercial on tv...

Don't change the channel!  It's worth the watch.  Really bizarre stuff.  Observe the wardrobe changes.   I can't believe she gave this commercial the green light.  It's like the director couldn't decide whether to go with a super traditional feel or to recognize her non-traditional style.  So it's this weird combination of cheesy informercial stock (here's Annie singing exactly 5 seconds of each song on the album.  Here's a voice warmly intoning "It's Annie Lennox as you've never heard her before!"), and clashing avant garde touches (here's Annie Lennox in drag, as a 17th century explorer.  Making Shakespearean stage gestures).

Who knows?  Maybe it's a good album.  But it looks like a big ol' box of WTF to me.
