...Christina Aguilera appeared on the scene in 1999 when she released her debut album, 'Christina Aguilera'. Since then she has had worldwide success releasing three other studio albums, 'Mi Reflejo' which was a latin pop album, 'Stripped' and 'Back to Basics' which is her most recent album. Her music is mainly pop/soul and r'n'b although her recent album has had hints of jazz music as well. She is a diverse artist and one of my favourite singers. In 2000, following her first album, she released a Christmas album called 'My Kind Of Christmas'. Although it is now 7 years old, I only bought this last year...it was £5 in Virgin, bargain! The album contains a mixture of modern Christmas songs along with some familiar old Christmas songs that I am sure you will recognise! Christmas Time - This song has such a good beat to it, it...

...If you’ve heard the previous two South Park albums, especially the soundtrack for the movie, then you will then know that Matt Stone and Trey Parker can be a dab hand at coming up with twisted songs as well as animated shows. The third, and less well-known album came out with minimal fuss in the Christmas of 1999. Mr Hankey’s Christmas Classics is anything but the Christmas albums we are used to and this is no surprise considering who it’s by. With a mixture of old and new Christmas songs the album has the trademark South Park shocks and humour that the show has got only this time in a truly festive way. It is worth pointing out that this is the prolonged soundtrack to the episode Mr Hankey’s Christmas Classics in the third season of South Park. It has a few more extra songs because of the 20-minute length of the show. 1... Read review

Disadvantages: Nothing i can think of.

...The Nightmare Before Christmas has to be my favourite film in the world I love the animation and the way it hides a message that is plain to see throughout the film. The film tells a tail of Jack Skellington who is King of Halloween town but begins to become tired of the same old ways that he lives through every single day. He stumbles upon a new place that goes by the name of Christmas town. After finding out what Christmas town is he decides to try and take over Christmas with dangerous consequences and with the help of his friends and even his enemies he try to do such thing. Where as Sally the rag doll who is secretly in love with him try's to stop it. The film is full of delights for all ages and is a true heart warming classic. However the soundtrack that accompanies the film is also amazing it includes all the songs... Read review
