 (12 Customer Reviews)
At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs.
She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that is hard to match. She has fun with the Phil Spector goodie "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," a song straight out of '60s girl-group heaven. There is even a "Joy To The World" medley mixing the old and the new--the traditional Christmas song and the Three Dog Night hit. And, as usual, her gospel-voiced background singers are out in full force.
There are two ways to enjoy this album. One is to sit back and revel in Mariah Carey's vocal fireworks, and the other is to pour yourself a glass of egg-nog, get cozy by the tree and have yourself a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Merry Christmas Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Great Modern Christmas Music
I am a big fan of modern music and I enjoy most of the styles, but what leads me the fastest to a new CD is the words especially if it's a song I haven't heard. Miriah's album takes some new material and some time tested selections and makes them interesting but not too far away from the original versions. The new entries and fun and add some serious thought to the different twists a holiday can add to your life..ie: All I Want for Christmas is You.
This is a welcome addition to any Christmas CD collection.

She is the voice of the Christmas season!
From beginning to end, you have a clear impression about Mariah's love for the Christmas holiday. Most artists just record Christmas albums as another venue to earn money!
Mariah certainly notes that the gospel influenced songs and original hyme written by her is because of her love for God and her immeasurable joy for him!
Her three original songs she wrote for the album are amazing. From the upbeat classic, All I Want For Christmas Is You, Miss You Most (At Christmas Time), to Jesus, Born On This Day! This is a must have to get into the spirit.

It was clear early on in her recording career that Long Island's own Mariah Carey possessed a rare combination of qualities that would make her special. She had a commanding voice, an uncanny ear for a hit, commanding stage presence and an effervescent personality. She was, in short, an American pop diva just waiting to be discovered.
