Charice lol
he sounds really good. i would have liked more stripped down songs but for the most part a really solid album
joy to the world is so good!! it is supposed to be the xmas single (not the new song?) it is also $1.29 on itunes instead of .99 like the rest of the album and it was produced by the guy who did CRUSH

He sounds phenomenal on "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" though. Its almost over now. But I will start my Christmas chart this week and this will do very well on it!

I always start when the first batch of new Christmas songs are released, which is typically the middle of October.
I loved "Melodies of Christmas", I don't like "Ave Maria" cuz it is not in English lol, but he sounds good on it.

same with the Riu-Riu-Chiu song. "What Child Is This" is okay. Not great though. But maybe I am biased against any other version of that song now... We will see if I like "The First Noel" and "O Holy Night" and see if that is true or not.

What is up with these non-English songs? yuck! "Pat-a-pan", oh wait, some of it is in English. I don't like it still though this is like a rap song ;D

haha it was fun. i kinda like it. "I'll Be Home For Christmas" was pretty good. "O Holy Night" is proving my point... oh no. maybe "The First Noel" will please me.
(just in case you don't know what I am talking about, Carrie sang OHN, TFN, and WCIT... thats what I am comparing David's versions to)

well "The First Noel" was alright. BUT I give David HUGE props for covering the hardest Christmas song to please me on, "Silent Night", and making it one of the (if not the) best performance of that song I have ever heard.

That is so incredible! I think Taylor was trying to make it look bad but it is actually amazing. Selling more than legend Bob Dylan. There is no promo for this album (yet) No singles on radio Not even November 1st (when Xmas music begins) Most Wal-Marts are not selling the album until November The album is full price and not on sale in stores Last year, Faith Hills Xmas album sold like what 10K first week? So David is doing AMAZING

This should have been the cover picture. Alright so I gave it a listen...it's not so bad...but it's not very good. It is very boring and there are too many slow tempos. And honestly, this isn't the type of music that really gets me into the Christmas spirit. Archuleta's vocals are brilliant and I think the duet with him and Charice Pempengco is really beautiful. AND I LOVE THE SPANISH TRACK Riu Riu Chiu...I have no IDEA what he's saying...but I like it. But in general...I am just disappointed...his brilliant vocals aren't enough this time.
