Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Like Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera never met a melismatic phrase (that gospel-like elongation of syllables) that she couldn't love. And she deploys more than her share throughout this 11-song holiday disc. Her excessive style is best suited to "Merry Christmas, Baby"--complete with a surprise cameo by Dr. John. When she isn't blowing out her chords with embarrassing emoting, at times, Aguilera sounds like she's shouting. Still, you know that if you don't get this for your teenaged fan, it's you who will get that lump of coal in your stocking. --Martin Keller

Format:Audio CD
Christina Aguilera couples up with some of the best session musicians in the world for this album so before you even hear it you know it should be good. It doesn't disappoint. Some of the arrangements such as Merry Little Christmas are very clever and well written, the bands are fantastic and Christina's vocal presence is as stunning as ever. It could be said that she over embellishes her vocal flourishes a bit too much but she is still young and is maturing musically all the time. It is safe to say that Christina can now be truly recognised as a singer rather than just a pretty popstar! A wonderfully unique album. BUY IT!!

This album is great. Most xmas albums are the same bunch of xmas songs repackaged and sung by different artists, but this album is completely new, refreshing and festive! 'These are the Special Times' was written by Diane Warren (who also wrote 'I turn to you', and Aerosmiths 'Don't wanna miss a thing') for Celine Dion's Christmas album two years ago; but xtina puts her own twist on the song to personalise it. not all of the songs are bells n' snow, and apart from the lyrics, you wouldn't know they were christmas songs at all, which is a lot more original. 'Climb Every Mountain', was a song that Christina asked to put on the album, as she used to shut herself in her room when her parents were arguing (they later got divorced) and sung her lil' heart out to her 'Sound of Music' album...awww!

I cannot believe of woman of this age is capable of singing so amazingly. I listened to this album on Christmas Day, as soon as I opened it and was filled with pure delight! Somehow Christina manages to do a Mariah and worble up and down the scales as if she was born on a see saw! I am still in total amazement of Christina's vocal range and would advise this album to anybody
