 (2 Customer Reviews)
Those in search of ironic, postmodern, hipster-style Christmas music should search elsewhere for their yuletide kicks, but lovers of earnest, heartfelt Christmas songs will find solace in THIS CHRISTMAS. It also won't hurt if you've got a preference for the "boy bands" that make teenage girls swoon. Instead of applying slick, danceable, pop/R&B production values to well-known holiday tunes, this vocal quartet takes a more reverent approach. There are few dance beats here, but plenty of elegant, gentle arrangements and soft, soulful vocal performances. Besides delivering quietly soulful versions of favorites like "The Christmas Song" and "Little Drummer Boy," the boys even tackle an a cappella four-part harmony "Ave Maria" that leaves little doubt as to their vocal prowess. Fans who want the grand-scale pop sound with Christmas lyrics grafted on will be surprised by the traditional approach of THIS CHRISTMAS, but it's doubtful that they'll be disappointed.

Christmas Coll:Best Of 98 Degrees album
$12.59
A poet of popular music, November 1, 2005 Emile Pandolfi plays show tunes, movie music, and the Great American Song Book, like no one else. He even includes the occasional classical selection, which is inevitable, as he is a classically trained artist in the traditional sense. Pandolfi's dexterity at the keyboard is highly polished; yet one hardly notices. One does notice his gorgeous tone, which seemingly knows no depth; his pianissimo playing, which I can tell you, reaches all the way to the back of the hall; ...

Sarah Dylan was born in 1991 in Toronto, Canada. Before she reached the age of two, her parents discovered her musical talent. By the age of six, she began taking piano lessons and writing her own short compositions. At age seven, Sarah had already won her camp talent show and various other talent contests. Not only does she sing, but she has had lead roles in many musical theatre productions; Fiddler on the Roof, Guys and Dolls, Little Shop of Horrors, and most recently Fame, to name a few. After studying piano and taking vocal lessons for six years, she decided that she wanted to learn another instrument. At her school, she learned how to play the viola. This proved challenging at first, but by the time she was thirteen, she was part of an orchestra that placed second in Kiwanis Festival. She also was part of the Toronto Youth Orchestra, which is extremely difficult to get into. Throughout her grade nine year, she recorded music every other week with the Juno Award Winning producer Greg Kavagnah. At this point she had been studying the guitar, and had twenty songs that she had written since she was twelve. She was able to finish her first self-titled demo within the year. She still continues to write music about many topics ranging from personal relationships, independence, and many other issues that are faced by any sixteen year old woman. In addition to music, she also excels in school. Her favourite subjects are math and science. She is a very determined person and has always has an A average. In her grade ten year she made the High Honour Roll, meaning that her average was above 90 percent. She used her singing ...
