Apple Shares 'Someday At Christmas' Ad With Stevie Wonder and Andra Day

I wonder how much Apple payed Stevie to use an Apple product, and yes, it is Logic.

It's a Christmas themed song, not a holiday themed song. I get the desire to want to be inclusive with happy holidays and stuff. Which I don't have a problem with. But holiday songs are stuff like Frosty the Snow Man, and Dashing Through the Snow. A song about hope tied to Christmas, where Christmas appears in the lyrics over and over again. That's not a holiday themed song.

Considering how divorced Christmas is from its original attachment to any religion, basically the whole tradition of Christmas as mainly a family oriented celebration is what saved Christmas from oblivion after 1850s.
Not sure it was ever a religious holiday in any recent time.

So, basically, they're not much difference between calling it Christmas or the holidays, it's been the same thing for a hell of a long time.

I saw Stevie Wonder once at the Apple Store in SoHo NYC. By the looks of it, he bought over $10,000 in Apple hardware. For some reason I don't think this was an unusual thing. I think Stevie is a big Apple dude, or at least the people who run his studios are.

You sound like a radical.

Wow that Andra Day sounds great, too. If Rihanna and Adele could have had a baby together they'd have had Andra Day. Though she sounds like the child of Amy Winehouse and Adele in other songs. I didn't know who she was and had to look her up. Finally, a commercial I enjoyed.

This is one truly dreadful advert, thankfully my remote control has a fairly large Mute button.

I normally don't bump old threads, but I can say I've seen Stevie using Apple products in person, outside of an Apple store. He's always been a huge fan of technology when it comes to music in general, and I'm sure its no different with accessibility features in products as well. Just remembered this ad because of the new one Apple just released which is on the front page of MR, so I thought I'd browse this thread.

To date my favorite Apple ad. Not biased or anything...
