"When you consider the fact that the man who virtually defined pop music culture, as we know it today, worked up a contemporary Christmas album, what you get is an extraordinary blend of traditional sounds with pop flare, mind blowing arrangements, and precise, almost perfect, musical integrity. I offer you : David Foster The Christmas Album.The Breakdown :>> Track 1 - Carol Of The Bells (Instrumental) Track 5 - Grown Up Christmas List (Vocals: Natalie Cole) > Track 8 - Ill be Home For Christmas (Vocals: Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack) > Track 9 - Mary's Boy Child (Vocals: Tom Jones)
No Las Vegas Here. Mr. Jones rips a very good and powerful performance on this somewhat obscure and little known Christmas song. But hey, with Foster behind the wheel, you can't go wrong.>> Track 10 - The Christmas Song (Vocal: Celine Dion) "

"During 12/93, there aired a Christmas TV special called "David Foster's Christmas Album" which I videotaped and kept in my video archives. One piece, Michael Crawford's `O Holy Night' was absolutely incredible. Around Christmas time, I pull out the videotape and listen (and I do mean listen) to Crawford sing this one song over and over, ad infinitum. I never get sick of it. Each time seems better than the last. Watching Crawford sing this song is an experience in itself - his ribcage inflated like bagpipes in order to prepare for that last `noel' shows his talent. This exact song/rendition is also on "A Christmas Album" by Michael Crawford (Atlantic 83222-2) which Amazon by the way misnamed as "A Christmas Story," which uses childrens' choirs. Which album you choose really depends on whether you want only Michael Crawford + choirs, or want many singers like Celine Dion and Tom Jones. Both albums get an A+."

The Best Christmas Album of all time.

"I also watched the TV special and was moved by it. I only wish I was clever enough to tape it. But I have the CD and every year this is the only thing that puts me in the Holiday spirit! I decorate my tree to it every year. Truly a brilliant masterpiece with a blend of the best talented artists. One cannot listen to it without feeling emotional. I couldn't imagine Christmas without it!"
