Christmas Album - Demis Roussos

Advantages: JINGLE BELLS ALL THE WAY
Disadvantages: NOT SOMETHING I PLAY IN THE SUMMER

...INTRO Why is it every Christmas I find myself getting a Frank Sinatra craze (am I the only one ?). Is it because Frank Sinatra is one of the best singers of all time or is it the fact I love to sing along with his catchy lyrics maybe so, but did you know that Frank Sinatra was once called quote: "The Voice" because there's never been a better voice for a microphone than his. As a big fan of Frank Sinatra I have more than a few of his CD's but there's only one that will always find its way to the top of the pile in my collection around this time of year,and that's the Frank Sinatra Christmas Album.

Advantages: great selection of christmas classics
Disadvantages: singers doing covers of good songs,

...This is a Fab Christmas Album from Osmonds, You get to hear them sing indivualy as well as together. I love their beautiful harmonies, the way, in which their voices blend so well. If, I had to pick a favourite song from the collection it would be , This Christmas Eve, from Donny, its so magical, you feel like you are there with him, waiting for Christmas to begin. He fills your heart with love and joy, whether, you believe in Christmas or not, Donny, makes you feel special. I also, like, Jimmy, (who was Little Jimmy) then, take on the song, "When, he comes again", I never heard this before then. Jimmy, sings as an believer, its the kind of song which makes you think about your faith, where you are going from here. "Blue, Christmas", Marie, does this one great justice, no doubt others have covered this to, I have never... Read review
