Product Description
From Amazon.com
Clay Aiken may look wide-eyed and unassuming, but when it comes to figuring out what his fans want for Christmas, he's got it all figured out. On Merry Christmas with Love he so cannily anticipates the musical sugarplums dancing in the heads of his devotees that you half expect him to climb down the chimney and hand-deliver it. Key to the dozen-song collection's appeal is its straightforwardness: Parting ways with the sea of celebrities who use holiday discs as an excuse to cut loose, Aiken banishes irony and coyness so absolutely here that certain carols--the medley "Hark the Herald Angels Sing/O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Silent Night" especially--take on church-like tones; expect tree trimmers to put aside their tinsel and contemplate the meaning of the season. Yet don't expect them to miss out on any merriment. On less chestnutty selections like the ballads "Mary Did You Know" and Celine Dion's "Don't Save It All for Christmas Day," Aiken lets it rip, reining in a passion and pure-heartedness so believable that fans will wish he, rather than the guy in the red velvet suit, were Santa Claus. -Tammy La Gorce

Merry Christmas Clay, With Thanks!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Merry Christmas With Love (Audio CD)
Many favorites from the album beginning with the reverent 'Silent Night', a song that I tired of many years ago and didn't think I could stand ever hearing again - I could repeat it for hours. 'Mary Did You Know' is truly beautiful as is 'Don't Save It All for Christmas Day', sorry Celine you have been out sung. But the joy, the fun, the old time sound of Clay's voice on 'Sleigh Ride' is just the best. How does he change his voice? his style? his sound? I thank Clay Aiken for this marvelous CD and hope that he has the Merriest Christmas ever!

The Best Christmas Gift,
By Lori (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Merry Christmas With Love (Audio CD)
If you only ever buy one Christmas CD you should make it Merry Christmas with Love by Clay Aiken. This classically produced CD beautifully showcases this young man's outstanding vocal ability. There are low notes, high notes, long glory notes and yet none of them overshadows the message of Love that the song selection demonstrates. There is a real depth and emotion in the Medley (Hark The Herald Angels Sing/O Come All Ye Faithful), O Holy Night, Mary Did You Know and Joy to the World. Don't Save it All For Christmas Day and the title track Merry Christmas With Love are fresh and original and truly inspirational. This is truly an amazing CD.

It's all about the VOICE!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Merry Christmas With Love (Audio CD)
This is a beautiful Christmas album. Clay's voice just rings through clear as a bell. There are so many stunningly beautiful vocal moments on this album. Although familiar with most of these songs, I found myself listening to them as though it were the first time. O Holy Night never sounded better. Divine indeed! Don't Save It All For Christmas has a glory note to end all glory notes. Mary Did You Know will make you weep, it is so beautiful. All the songs are joyous and will put you in the spirit of Christmas year after year. Clay has indeed put this album together with love. The musical arrangements of the songs are a lovely compliment to Clay's voice. The production values on this CD are top notch. this is an album you will listen to for years. An excellent buy!
