5.0 out of 5 stars Best Holiday album ever made!
Andrea Bocelli's first-ever Christmas album was worth the wait! These songs stun me with their beauty and natural charm. Bocelli is in excellent form here and the duets are equally beautiful. The songs on this album are all nothing short of perfect; and Bocelli's ability to perform a wide variety of holiday music impresses me even more. The quality of the sound is...

2.0 out of 5 stars A little too much marketing on this one
The only song I really like on the CD is Track 6 - excellent! The rest of the CD is rather mediocre and some of the duets are simply ridiculous - e.g. Reba McIntire - come on David Foster, did you really think a pure country and opera voice would work to sell to to a wider demographic. The CD would have done better to focus on Bocelli's skills versus marketing.

This review is from: My Christmas (Audio CD)
Andrea Bocelli's first-ever Christmas album was worth the wait! These songs stun me with their beauty and natural charm. Bocelli is in excellent form here and the duets are equally beautiful. The songs on this album are all nothing short of perfect; and Bocelli's ability to perform a wide variety of holiday music impresses me even more. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done.
If you like Andrea Bocelli, then you won't go wrong with his new CD. It's simply beautiful.

Some of my favorite songs are "White Christmas" which Andrea sings very beautifly (it truly comes from his heart and soul) and "Angels We Have Heard on High" which is perfect for the operatic qualities of his voice (I love it). In addition, "The Lord's Prayer" is simply breathtaking, as The Mormon Tabernacle Choir joins Bocelli; and I really like listening to "Adeste Fidelis" with its lush musical arrangement. "Cantique De Noel" is also sang very nicely, in French, and he sings "O Tannenbaum" in three different languages at the same time (German, English, Italian) in one track. However, my absolute favorite is "Caro Gesu Bambino", it's just perfect.

But, there are songs that aren't quite so religious, perfect for children, families and really anyone to enjoy. Like "The Christmas Song", for example, which Bocelli sings with Natalie Cole and "Blue Christmas" which he sings with such passion I don't think I'll be forgetting it anytime soon and Reba McEntire's vocals enhance "Blue Christmas" all the more. Songs like "Santa Claus is coming to town" are perfect for children and adults alike, but "Jingle Bells" which is performed with the voices of The Muppets is definitely what will make the most impact on them!

The other duets are equally wonderful. Mary J. Blige sounds amazing with Bocelli on "What Child Is This" (it's a major highlight of this CD) and Katherine Jenkins provides excellent vocals to go with Bocelli's voice on "I Believe". Just geat!

Andrea Bocelli and the other artists on this album rank very, very favorably in my book; this is a stunning holiday CD that is an instant classic, thanks to their incredible talent. I highly recommend this album for anyone who enjoys a mixture of religious holiday music along with other Christmas songs that are more secular and playful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice album, Mar 22 2010

This review is from: My Christmas (Audio CD)
For years, I love Andrea Bocelli's voice and songs. I have collected all his albums. His duets with Sarah Brightman are simply stunning. This one is very nice christmas album, which will bring joy to your whole family. However, I would prefer his voice only, without the disturbant women's parts. Sorry to say, his voice does not correspond with pop-music singers, as he is a classic one. While I understand the producer's intentions, the result is not as excellent as I would expect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning!, Dec 20 2011
This review is from: My Christmas (Audio CD)
This album is stunning! There is not one bad track on it. I have heard quite a few versions of 'The Lord's Prayer', but none of them can compete with the simple, yet emotional, oomph of Andrea Bocelli's rendition. The beauty of his voice and his unique style put him in a league of his own. This will be the third year 'My Christmas' will be played in my house in preference to any other seasonal cd.

4.0 out of 5 stars Music to Warm your Soul at Christmas, Dec 20 2010
This review is from: My Christmas (Audio CD)
This is a Classic Christmas CD - especially if you enjoy Andrea Bocelli. It is a CD that is sprinkled with other composers who add to the "magic" of some of the Christmas Carols .... very lovely!!!

This was a major disappointment, something Bocelli obviously spent little time on and it shows. Tossed out after one play!

Andrea does it again. He gives me goose bumps when he hits his high notes. i love it when he sings with the Muppets as well. It makes he seem a real person with a wonderful sense of humour.
