 |  | Excellent Whitney Houston Christmas Music |  |
It is great easy listening Christmas C/D, will be looking forward to the next one.
January 12, 2008I bought this album in spite of the lukewarm reviews. I was not disappointed, however, Whitney's voice certainly struggled a lot on the high notes. This is not classic Whitney (talentwise), "Saving All My Love for You", "The Bodyguard" soundtrack, etc...Whitney of the 80's/very early 90's or when she made everyone cry when she sang "The National Anthem" at the Superbowl...way back when. But if you love Whitney the artist then you can overlook her career setbacks and appreciate this album which I did.

Firstly, I love Ms. Whit Whit. But this CD is just borders between bad & OK. None of the songs she sung were great. She completely OVER SINGS. Holding notes way to long. I don't need you to take me through the entire octave - minus the really high notes, just to belt out one word. I also don't need you to hold one note for 5 hours.
It's extremely R&B/Gospel which is NOT bad but I've always believed that Whitney has a pop voice. My favorite Christmas CD's are Temptations, Yolanda Adams & Ms. Patti. But Whitney just can't do that style very well. So, all this soulful, holding notes for 15 minutes, with a raspy voice ruined some of these classics for me. You can tell her voice HAS changed and that she's a smoker, former drug addict and current alcoholic. Sounds harsh but when you listen to this CD, you'll understand. All the rave reviews must be coming from family, friends and die hard Whitney fans. If you want Classic Whitney, this ain't it.
Just be prepared to want to return this CD.

Whitney may have some personnal issues but her voice is still in tact! She has added a twist to every song and it works only for her. This is a wonderful Cd to have on while entertaining for the holidays or just relaxing by yourself. She captures the holiday spirit in every song thaty only she can do!
June 27, 2007We have several Christmas CDs. This one is by far one of the better Christmas CDs. This is not just your normal re-hashed Christmas music. This cd is funky and has a great gospel sound. This is a must buy!
