 irresistible holiday music--BRAVO, MANDISA !!!
Submitted on: 2009-10-23 |

Christmas music is some of the catchiest, best written music we hear all year long--think about it, don't we always remember songs like "White Christmas" and "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer?" They evoke so many deep, deep feelings and their charm is universally appealing. On this album Mandisa sings some lovely holiday music and you're sure to enjoy this album if holiday tunes are what you crave! The sound quality is terrific and that artwork is very nicely done.
"What Christmas Means to Me" is a song performed by Stevie Wonder on his Christmas album entitled "Someday at Christmas;" Mandisa aces this as effortlessly as if it were mere breathing--she has terrific backup and all together they make this song shine bright! Mandisa handles complex tempo and key changes and this impresses me; the percussion and the drums really flesh out the musical arrangement which makes "What Christmas Means to Me" even more powerful. Listen for Matthew West to join Mandisa on "Christmas Makes Me Cry;" Matthew and Mandisa do a marvelous job on this and they should do more duets together!
"O Holy Night" is another charmer that Mandisa delivers with great sensitivity; that piano arrangement is elegant and the number holds its own very well. I love it! "Silver Bells" (which is listed as "Christmas Day" in the track list above on this webpage) is both awesome and completely beautiful. "Feliz Navidad" and "Joy to the World" combine to form a bouncy, upbeat tune with a bit of a Latin/Brazilian flavor on the side. "Silent Night" has Mandisa giving this a very sensitive treatment; her excellent diction enhances her performance all the more and that's grand. "Mary's Little Boy Child" ends the CD with Mandisa performing flawlessly; she never skips a beat and it leaves me wanting more holiday music from Mandisa.
Mandisa's album entitled "It's Christmas" truly has gorgeous music on it and there's a nice mix of older and newer songs. I highly recommend this for Mandisa's fans; and anyone who enjoys holiday music would do well to add this to their music collection. |

This CD was a blessing. I heard about Mandisa on Huckaby's show and
immediately ordered her Christmas CD. |

 Try Ledisi Instead

| I liked Mandisa when she was on American Idol, but was disappointed by her holiday album. She sounds like she was uncomfortable in a recording studio and sucks the life out of classics like "O Holy Night." If you want a holiday album with some great singing try the new one from Ledisi. That will get the holiday season rolling! |
