I saw this album around the Christmas Holidays and didn’t think twice about getting this album as I've got the other two and was looking for a Xmas album and thought that this would do because she is a great singer! I am in no way disappointed by this album. It was great to listen to during the Christmas period and still is! I was getting so bored of the traditional Christmas tunes at that time and I thought that Christian’s voice would liven it up a bit. This album is certainly livelier.
A lot of Xmas Hits including Have Yourself a Merry Christmas and Oh Holy Night have been brought to life by this singer! The first song, Christmas Time, is a great Lively song which incorporated the traditional sound but with more beats and decorated noted etc. A modern written song which opens the album perfectly! 9/10
I love the next song. This Year is a great thumping track, which reminds me of Destiny's Child or an R&B song with the soft singing then the chorus livens it all up! 9.5/10
Have Yourself a merry Christmas is also a great song and As I love to sing and practice singing, this song is really good as it uses the vocal range a lot. A lovely soft and gentle tune with music box opening the song. 10/10
Angels we have heard on high has a great choir accompanying the song and is a duet with a male singer. A great gospel type song, which climaxes well. 8.5/10
Merry Christmas Baby is a very seductive song, which sounds rather sexual, as it is very suggestive. A rather old fashioned sounding song to start off with an old fashioned piano accompanies. It includes Olde Langsigne. A blues type song. 8/10
MY ALL TIME FAVE OFF THIS ALBUM!!! O Holy Night is just amazing and is always mind blowing everytime I hear it! Its begins rather softly with Christina warbling gently and then it begins. She puts all she’s got I this song and it certainly shows! This song is a great song to sing to as it stretches your range and I often use it for singing practice, Aguilera is just amazing on this song with soaring climaxes and a great voice, she can't do no wrong. This song takes and instrumental break and when it comes back it just blows you away! She is accompanied by the gospel choir when she returns and is just brilliant! You need to hear this song to believe it! 100000/10!
These are special times then takes over and is rather sultry in style, to me this song wasn’t very impressive dunno why. 7/10
The next song seems to begin like a gameshow and called This Christmas. rather a bit cheesy. again with trumpets etc. 7.5/10
The Christmas song, begins with bell tolls, which starts it off well then a piano comes in. A great Christmas tune with a great relaxing voice. 8/10
Xtina's Christmas, is a great upbeat track and is everything that Christmas songs are not! Fun and jazzy more dance like. 8/10
The last song is a remix version of The Christmas song which is just amazing I didn’t know a Christmas song could sound like this and believe that this was a perfect ending to a great Xmas album which is very modern and upto date. 10/10
This album is just great and definitely got me into the Christmas mood. I think that Christina should have released one of the tracks around Xmas, as it was a great time to release such a song of which would have done really well! I’m still listening to this album on times but I’m sure Ill be playing it every Christmas time as its very my style of music compared to all this carol rubbish constantly. This album also has a Enhanced CD section which includes a link to her site and a video of one of the songs which is also nice to look at.
Tip :- You can probably pick this CD up now for a cheaper price now as the season is now over and you can listen to it straight away or wait till Christmas and listen to it then. As this is a Christmas album you wouldn’t want to be without!
